those who are on the right side,
should all the more at least stick
to lesser evils. even if they can
not abolish the greater ones; for
all OF US are patterns Of some sort
that somebody is apt to initiate.
We can not help but be examples
having some influence on those
about us-and this, is a serious
truth.
We would no doubt be surprised
if we knew how growth in charac-
ter originates and grows from ex-
amples and surroundings, and how
we may have been the seed plant
ed who started somebody's crook
ed growth-and where 1t led to.
What we are doing individually
we are also doing governmentally.
Our boast Of American supremacy
is losing its hold on truth, in its
entirety. We have either adopted
many OF the worst foreign ex-
amples, or are on the way to doing
so.
True, we are not annexationists,

It's Work That Counts

There is an adage that There
is luck in leisure" but there Is
no truth in that adage and there
is little truth in the preaehment
of many failures that work and
merit don't mean anything any
more, the lucky man win win any
way"
OF course, there have been
many battles won by luck. but
they are the proverhial exceptions
which prove the rule and are so
outnumbered by incidents the re-
verse as to be unworthy OF notice.
Luck-won successes are accidents.
Work-won successes are incidents.
Accidents always attract more at
tention than incidents for the
same reason that normal human
beings. which are incidents. pay
money to see freaks OF nature.
which are accidents. To depend
on luck is 70 play blind mans
buff among the laws Of nature and
Of man.
These laws. when studied care
fully. seem to prove that in the
long run the best man wins the
best place, and personal merit
does not succeed. Evidences TO
the contrary are merely the nips
OF chance.
Luck smiles on those who take
on their coats. put their shoulders
TO the wheel. and plug away at the
task. Fortune favors men who
are not afraid Of dreary. irksome
drudgery. Luck climbs no Ever
est. Luck transmutes no cataract
into electricity. Luck is never :
ladder from the earth Of medioc-
rity to the heaven Of achievement.

The Fl0serS We Raise

Spring time particularly is flow
er time. And at this time of the
year who does not turn thoughts
TO the flowers we admire and take
pleasure in raising? As a means
TO success in this direction moth
ing contributes more than the Sc
curing of as nearly perfect seeds
as it is possible to obtain.
We've bought Tor the better-half
has, which comes to the same
thing) a good many dozen pack
ages OF flower seeds in q lifetime.
Some of them came up" and bore
flowers which more or less re-
sembled the picture on the pack
age or in the catalogue-and q lot
of them didn't!
The State of New York has a
new law which puts q penalty on
anyone selling flower seeds whose
blossoms don't match the pictures.
We don't know whether this viii
result in toning down the pictures
or improving the seeds, but TO US
it seems as important to protect
the flower grower as anyone else.
The more flower gardens the bet

The Age Limit

For some reason we're not hear
ing so much about the age limit"
in industry now that jobs are be-
coming more plentiful And it is
well. If there ever was a foolish
argument it is that man loses
his usefulness after he passes the
age Of As.
Possibly no man is better quail
fed to speak on the subject than
is Henry Ford, largest individual
employer Of labor in the world.
He is on record as saying that men
most valuable are those over 40;
that they have, not lacking exper-
ience, the sound Judgment needed
in most lines of industry. And
the majority of men in key posi-
tions In Ford's plants. and the
men closest to him. are men past
the 45 year mark.
Glance around and note the
good work being done by men who
are over IS years old and you viii
have a better idea Of how foolish
this "age limit" talk sounds. Go
anywhere else and you viii find
the proportion as great as it is
here. Young heads are essential
in business and industry. of course
but the day has not yet arrived
when the world can get along
without older heads, men Of ex-
perience. and judgment, and calm
ness and wise counsel when it is
desperately needed. The lament
ed VIII Rogers. speaking some
years ago on this same subject
said: Young men are all right
In industry. but I've noticed it's
most always an old man that owns
the whistle-and an old man
blows it" And it viii always be
so. regardless of any argument
that q mans usefulness departs
when he passes life's 45th. mile
stone.

But it is more than that 1t is
8 temporizing with less than high
