Gus to get to work. Nothing opened
up. You felt you were butting youl
heads against stone wall.
The Star passes on to you phrase
it saw the other day-to You and tt
the others who will join your ranks
this spring.
That phrase is, Yesterday is dead
The country has been begged dowr
before. It is going to begin to pull
out shortly, just as it always has
pulled out. But mark this. Business
is not coming back just as it was be.
fore. It never does, after going
through the wringer.
A lot of the old leaders and ole
methods have passed out. A new
bunch of aggressive and resourceful
young fellows will come stomping up
to grasp new opportunities.
For yesterday is dead!
New opportunities, mind you. Not
the opportunities of the last decade
Those are gone. If experience is a
guide, recovery will not come in or
derby fashion, along the old lines
Keen men will see business chances
here and there even while things are
at low level. Chances that grow
out of the depression with it's chang
ed demands.
Perhaps these will lie in new pro-
ducts of science, in inexpensive novel
ties, in house cooling, in cheap farm
lands. Men who live in the past will
overlook these opportunities. They
will be thinking of things as they
were in 1929. So they will fail to see
the new conditions and take advant-
age of them.
But the alert young crowd will
jump at the new chances, develop
them, build up with them as business
builds up.
Yesterday is dead!
Have you heard of the fulfil bird
that flies backwards? 1t wants to
see where it has been. 1t doesn't give
a darn where it is going. Don't be
a fulfil bird.
You youngsters, seize any decent
job that offers. But keep your eyes
open. Be ready for new conditions,
new ideas. Your humble job may have
possibilities that the old order did not
reveal.
Remember, Yesterday is dead!-

Has the public lost interest in
sports? Several southern Minnesota
boxing promoters are wondering
Only two or three of the dozen or
more shows staged in the area have
been financial successes. Gate re-
ceipts have ranged from a decidedly
Improbable $37 to something over
$500 which allowed the fortunate club
which promoted that event neat
profit.
Baseball crowds have fallen off
despite lower admissions. Football
has not proved the drawing card at
$3.50 and So seat in recent years
that it once was. The Redwood Falls
golf club is one of a few that has not
ost in membership and that feat was
accomplished by a great deal of effort
on the part of enthusiasts and reduc-
tons in membership fees. All down
the list of sport events and clubs, the
situation is the same.
But this does not mean we like the
excitement at the ringside any less,
that the resounding crack of the
homerun is less thrilling, that we
have tired of watching the star half
back slip through for touchdown.
The truth is we have not been able
to afford these luxuries for several
seasons. We have been too busy
holding our jobs or keeping our bust
nesses intact to spend much time at
play, especially when that play cost
hard-earned money.
Now business has taken a decided
upturn. Profits in the next few
months should fill the hole that losses
made in our bank balances, wages
will go up, ripening crops will bring
better prices. Well have time and
money to play again.

If the sun were to explode we
would have only 1873 hours to live, ac-
