Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill;
When funds are low and the debts are high;
And you want to smile but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down bit;
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit!
Life is queer, with its twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometime learns
And many failure turns about
When he must have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up tho the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow!
Often the goal is nearer than
1t to faint and faltering
When he might have captured the Victors Cup;
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down
How close he was to the golden crown
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you tell how close you are;
1t may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things darkest that you mustn't quit!

MAGNITUDE OF
 $l7l,OOO,OOO
 POWER PLANT
Mind of Man Can Scarcely Conceive of That Aaiaz- ing. Development on St Lawrence River

Canton, N. Y, Nov 24.-(UP)-- The magnitude of the proposed $171 ,0O0, ,O00 international power development on the St Lawrence river is almost inconceivable to the mind of man," Delos M. Cos grove, vice-chairman of the state power authority said to-day in radio forecast of the industrial and economic benefits of the project.
 The dams and power houses planned for Massena Point on the International Rapids section Of the river will harness torrent capa- ble of an annual output of electri- cal energy equivalent ito the amount of electricity sold by all the light and power enterprises in the 4S states in 1880 to the 20,400,- 900 domestic consumers" he said.
 Tt means" he continued. "that New York state is preparing to build for it's people the largest single electric power installation in the world" one that will exceed the combined capacity of Boulder Dam on the Colorado river. the Schoellkopf station at Niagara Falls, the wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals and the Conowingo devel- opment on the Susquehanna river. All of this, Cosgrove said, speak ing from. St Lawrence university under the auspices of the Northern Federation of Chambers of Com merce, will "unquestionably' re- suit in an influx of industries to the the northern counties of the state attracted by the cheapness and dependability of the new power source.
 mcnt," he said, twill be facilitated by the fact that the St Lawrence | project is not only a hydro-eiectric project but includes the develop ment of the river as deep sea waterway.
 "The low coast of energy gen. erated at Massena Point will at- | tract industries swhich use vast quantities of power" he predicted. The amount consumed by these in- dustrial plants, plus the normal in- crease in power consumption to- gether with the additional quantity which will be used by homes, due to lower rates will furnish, we be- lieve, a ready market for the en- tire output of the plant, as soon as 1t is completed.
 with double the amount of power at Massena that ia now de- yeloped at Niagara Falls we are confident that inew industrial
 plants wil lbe erected in the north country which will afford employ ment for tens of thousands of workers exclusive of those required for construction of plants.
 "New payrolls totalling millions of dollars q year will be spent for housing, the necessities of life, education, amusement and trans- portation. Towns will grow and provide markets for our truck and dairy farms"
 The development. Cosgrove said. probably will have an annual pro- duction of 2,20O,000 horsepower equally divided between New York state and Canada. The construc-
 ton, he estimated, would consume
 five or six years and would neces- sitate the employment of thou
 sands of men directly as we'll as Additional thousands indirectly through supply plants.

BABY LIONS CHECKED
 IN PARIS STATION.

Paris-The check room of the Care d'Austerlitz was thrown into confusion recently when q baby lion and a lioness were checked Tor a three-day sojourn at 10 cents a day, pending their delivery as a birthday gift to q young parisienne.
 The animals were the gift of q young man in the French Colonies to the young firi. who stated that they were what she most desired for her birthday.
 When the lions arrived here their future mistress had not been able to have their cage finished. The lions were checked as bag gage at the regular rate pending delivery. One of the most per- puexinR questions was their insati- able thirst. Upon completion og the cage, they were delivered te their mistress with .an elaborate pink and white birthday cake.
