You have heard it said that
nothing succeeds like success.
Wrong again. So many of those
old sayings can not stand the test
of analysis. They sound good but
mean little.
The fact is that nothing fails
like success, and that nothing sue

that successful persons have been
successful all the time. If they
are successful, it is because they
have risen on failure upon failure
failures of which you perhaps
knew nothing.
Some persons strike it lucky
and think they are successes.
Then down they go and wonder
what it is all about.
You can never be a success I'M
less you can learn to conquer de-
feat.
In any really vital matter you
will be defeated if you can be de-
feated. And you will be kept in
a state Of defeat if you can be
kept there. If you can not stand
a tumble from the agreeable
state of success into the painful
state of failure without losing
your nerve, your confidence,
your determination and your mi
tiative, you might as we'll get
ready right now to kiss success
goodby, for the chances are it will
quit you.
And what / mean by saying
that nothing succeeds like failure
is just this:
We learn by our failures. We
learn infinitely more from failure
than from success. Nobody ever
learned to skate except by sitting
down hard many times. 1t is
through our blunders that we
learn to be skilful. 1t is through
our errors that we learn how to
avoid errors. That is one reason
an inexperienced person should
begin an enterprise on a small
scale. If you are going into the
chicken business without knowing
anything about chickens, start
with six hens, rooster and a lot
of government pamphlets and
other literature on chicken rails
ing. Give chicken novice a thou
sand hens and he, will lose them.

Where do you suppose the wis

wisdom about everything under

millions upon millions of failures.

to do millions upon millions of
things in millions upon millions of
ways.
There is a lot of bunk in all

LOADS OF BILLS

He has come about the task in quite unorthodox fashion. When it is completed it probably will be one of the most unusual text books ever published.
 Starting with the promise that the subject of government at least is one of the most uninteresting and dryest of questions, one of the first things he did was to employ car- toonist. He had him make some 30 or 40 cartoons depicting the in~ tricate and tedious parliamentary practices used in the passing delay and killing of bills in Congress.
 For example, just before Congress meets on January 1st of each year he has cartoon labeled, ITO the Capitol To the Capitol!' The car toonist has pictured the Represen- tatives and Senators rushing to Washington by every means of pos sible transportation carrying loads of bills to the capitol for intro duction.

SENATOR DILL
 WRITINC 6 BOOK ON GOVERNMENT
Former Washington State Solon to Tell About
 Procedure

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20--The for mer Senator from Washington. Clar- ence c. Dill. who retired voluntarily last year after a period of service in both houses dating back to 1915, has, hit upon an idea for "cashing in on the lessons he learned as a member of Congress.
 A school teacher before he turned to politics, an important part of his strategy in campaigning for public office were centered around school children. His theory was, if you get the kids interested in you the votes of mama and papa likely will come your way" He rarely missed an opportunity while campaigning to visit the schools in the towns he happened to be in.
 Almost invariably" he says, the first question asked me was how does Congress pass a bill? And strangely enough 1t was about the most difficult question to answer I encountered"
 It started him to thinking after he decided to quit politics and he hit upon the idea of writing book to be used as text book for the schools and for information to old CT persons who are not familiar with the principles and the working of the government.

WHISTLE TOOTS
 FISHING NEWS
Theile's Plant Packs l00,- 900 Cases, Light
 Reports

Sam A. Light, Alaska represen- tative of Petri wines and Tonkin Distributing Company, large inn porters of San Francisco, Cal, and also Sales Promotion Manager for Seagrams Distillers, with head quarters in San Francisco, arrived on the Alaska today.
 Light reports a wonderful busi- ness in his line in. Southeast AL aska and wonderful feeling of optimism in all towns he visited, caused by the fish pack of this year.
 In Wrangell he witnessed the town celebrating the pack of the 100,000th case of salmon by the Diamond K Packing Company, of which Karl Theile is President. At a signal from the cannery whistle, which was a previously arranged sign announcing that the 100,000th case had been packed, the Hid was off" and there was nothing too good for all hands.
 This exceeds the Diamond K pack of any other season by sev- eral thousand cases
 Light is here for a week or ten days calling on trade.

THINKS IT'S FUN

A pictorial journey of the bill from the time it is introduced un- til it is signed by the President is set forth in graphic fashion. It is an attempt to teach government by new method.
 Dill is not sure how his attempt will be received. He has gone to considerable pains to find out from teachers and others in the field of education whether they think his scheme is practical.
 Regardless of whether he makes a go of it, Dill is having lot of fun with the idea. High atop an office building in downtown Washington he's putting in ten or twelve hours a day at it.
 Not even the complex political situation in the capital is able to distract his attention. Efforts to draw him out on politics even for '-off the record' consumption are useless.
 T can't remember" he says when I didn't want to be a Sen ator. Strangely enough years ago I made up my mind that I didn't want to keep on being one and now that I am out I am sure I never want to be one again.

HUGE THEATRE HAS WASHTUB
 CHANDELIERS
Ornate Eastman House n New York Profits by
 Brilliant Idea

ROCHESTER N. Y, Aug. 20-Two of the seemingly ornate chandeliers of the Eastman theatre here are washtubs-of the very ordinary gall yanized iron variety.
 The explanation is found in a last-minute suggestion of George Eastman, the multi millionaire man. ufacturer who built the theatre at a cost of several million dollars and gave it to the University of Roch- ester.
 Just before the theatre was op- ened in September, 1892, MT. East man thought the foyer could stand a little more light and suggested two new chandeliers be added.
 Reluctant to inform MT. Eastman that they were specially built and could only be obtained by order and subsequent delay, the architect gild- ed and wired two iron washtubs and put them in place just in time for the opening, thinking they per- haps would do for the emergency.
 When MT. Eastman learned of the architects ingenuity, he was so amused that he would never allow the tubs to be supplanted by regu- lar fixtures. They still hang up there.

GERMANS TOLD ASH CANS HOLD
 MUCH WEALTH

BERLIN. Aug 20-1n their need Gf raw materials, Germans are told they must search their ash cans. The hausfrau has been warned by the propaganda radio that too much useful stuff IS wasted.
 It is calculated, for instance, that 80000 tons of tin cans now going to waste every year. might yield 200 tons of tin. of which metal 12,O0O tons have to be imported.
 The consumption of razor blaces is put at 100000 dozen year If all blades, and also all discard ed pens were put aside, it would mean, according to the Nazi figures a saving of 1000 tons of steel.
 Germany imported $48,000 GOO worth of tobacco in 1888. Cigar stubs should not be thrown away but cut up for pipe tobacco, the authorities advise.

Tax Commission
Isn't Interested
Hot, Tax Collected

PHOENIX, May 10 (UP) - The
state tax commission doesn't care
how the state sales tax is collected.
Or even if merchants overcharge
the public In collecting it, just so
long as the correct amount is turned
over to the state.
Members Of the commission made
this clear in an announcement that
the group would not issue regula-
tions fixing the amount of sales
taxes to be collected by merchants
and others.
THAT is none of our business"
Chairman Thad M. Moore said. 1--WE
are interested in seeing that the
merchants and others required to
pay the tax on their gross incomes
pay 1t to the state. We have moth
ing to do with whether the mer-
chant absorbs the tax himself, COL
lects it In pennies, or raises his
prices"
Moore predicted. Everything will
work out all right"

SPRING FOOTBALL
PRACTICE AT H. S.

The ApacheS began their second
week OF spring football practice
Monday, with Coach Lloyd Le1dford
starting preparations for their first
spring contest, which is Less than
ten days away.
All of the boys out are taking
their spring practice sessions very
seriously, and are showing a de-
gree of speed and way Of handling
the ball that looks extremely prom
ising for next fall.
The entire line Is considerably
larger and faster than last fall.
Every man has put on weight and
Is showing the results Of the past
seasons experience. The middle OF
the forewall appears TO be very
strong. with the wing position being
somewhat weaker. The line average
from wing to wing will be around
the 170-pound mark and will De
the heaviest in recent years.
The tackles will be held down
by two veterans. ENRIQUE Arino and
Marcus Wuerschmidt, both Of whom
will tap the scales around the lS0-
pound marker Wuerschmidt WILL
serve his fourth season as line
man during the coming autumn and
Arino will be out for his third. Both
have already done very creditable
work in the position and their in
creased weight and speed along With
experience will make them top
notchers in the conference at their
job.
Several good reserve prospects for
the position exist In William Bett-
wy, ITO pounds: Harry Karns. I'D
