President Barrett’s Address.
Says Farmer Who Does not Equip His
Boy Will Face Reckoning
To the Officers aud Members of
the Farmers’ Union:
I have no patience with the
complaint that, in our day, oppor
tunities for the young man are
disappearing.
It is the cry of ignorance or
laziness.
In every line opportunities
greater, and rewards more promis
ing, than at any time in Ameri
can history.
The only individuals with cause
for grievance are the boys who
will not equip themselves for suc
cess, in its highest sense, or those
parents who are guilty of criminal
neglect in seeing that the boy is
prcperly equipped.
During the past several years I
have visited every section of this
country, aud directly investigated
conditions in practically all
branches of commerce and indus
try.
Everywhere the demand is for
young men of ability to do the
world’s work ; and the supply is
far below the demand.
The great fortunes that have
been made in this country, and
the luxuries of the age in which
we live combined with lack of pa
rental discipline, have done one
wrong to our boys, many of them
have grown to have a contempt
for humble beginnings.
This is a secret ot the complaint
that the "doors of opportunity
are closing,” and that success is
only for the chosen few.
The boy of twenty years ago
was willing to work his way to
success he was willing and anx
ious to begin with the most un
pretentious labor, and apply him
self, if he saw rewards at the
other end.
The bey of our day, too often,
wants to begin at the top instead
of the bottom.
He wants to have success ready
made for him.
He wants to step into a "snap”
an "easy berth,” without once re
flecting that, save in exceptional
instances, such portions are held
by men who demonstrated their
fitness by long training concentra
tion and experience.
The sort of opportudity that
matters most is the opportunity
for the proper kind of education.
And Educational advantages are
more plentiful, and cheaper, to
day than ever before.
It is the educated, the equipped
men who rule this country, and
who reap its greatest rewards in
every branch of endeavor.
It is those whose education is in
sufficient, whose training has been
neglected, that feed the army of
failures and the band of malcon
tents.
The boys, or men , who are now
complaining of “lack of oppor
tunity” and giving that as an ex
cuse for their indifferent success,
would have done no better twenty,
forty or sixty years ago.
Conditions have changed, of
course. Business is organized upon
different lines, competition has
grown keener, and the qualifica
tions for success more exacting.
That is why we cannot over
emphasize the value of education,
adapting it in every case to the
peculiar needs and abilities of the
individual.
In the battle for success and
distinction, the odds are all on
the side of the boy who is equipp
ed. The boy who is not equipped,
and who thinks to reach the top
without hard work is practically
whipped at the start.
As long as the world lasts, the
great fundamental principle of
success w ill survive all changes in
business or industrial methods of
administration ; and that is, you
must earn success before you get
it.
But in this day of democratic
educational facilities, and medi
um prosperity, it is indeed a poor
farmer who cannot find a chance
to at least begin his boy in the
right educational path .
And it is a poor boy who is net
willing to pay the price of success
by hard work, by burning the mid
night oil if necessary, instead of
cigarettes, in order that be may
with the other fellow up
on terms at least partially equal.

Here is a Remedy that will Core Eczema.
"We Prove It.”
Why waste time and money ex
perimenting with greasy salves
and lotions, trying to drive the ec
zema germ from underneath the
skin, when the Brown-Odom Drug
Store guarantees Zemo, a clean
liquid preparrtion for external use
to rid the skin of the germ life

in America, the leading druggist
has the agency for Zemo, and he
will tell you of the marvelous cures
made by this clean, simple treat
ment. Zemo is recognized as the

the stomach, in a Chicago hospital

out, the patient had died. It de
monstrated he could not live with
out his stomach.To keep the stom

Beauty of Body.
A healthy body is a beautiful
body, and beauty of body is *o be
preferred to beauty of face. It is
easy enough for a woman to have
a good complexion if her body is
in good health. To insure good
health it is necessary to keep the
stomach active ana the bowels
open. This can best be done by use

regulator It is absolutely guar
anteed to do what we claim, and if

1 I The terms Resources and Assets are used interchangeably in the ; |
11 financial statements of individuals, firms aud corporations. In con- ; |
versation, ordinarilly, people use the word Means, Property or ||
Wealth, to express the same idea. What one owns in the way of
11 property, whether real (lands) or personal (chattels,) can be called
!> his Resourees —his Means of Payment. J |
11 The nature of any business determines the proper form of its Re- ;;
11 sources or Assets. It is customary for banks to keep their Resources ;;
11 largely in the shape of Cash and Notes, the latter maturing at fre- ; •
