It is tragic for a person to have
splendid talent, but no initiative.

It is even possible that in the
new editions of the dictionaries
the Words economy, thrift and
industry may be transferred to
the section of the book devoted to
obsolete words.

It Used to be a Comparatively
simple matter to he a candidate
for office. All one had to do was
to promise lower taxes. Nowa
days a candidaie has to promise
less taxes and more relief.

The least valuable employee to
any firm is the one who refuses to
learn more about the business for
fear he will be Called upon to ren
der more service a n d assume
larger responsibilities.
Man is faced with some diffi
cult problems at times. In the
matter of his material wealth for
instance he can’t, take it with him
when he goes, and he Can't stay
on earth without it.
The first step to aehievement 1
and tin- attainment of new goals I
is a dream or a vision of the!
thing wo would have. The man
who cannot dream and have a
vision of a desired goal has no
mark at which to shoot. Every
successful enterprise or human
undertaking was one lime the
dream or vision of some man. The]
man who has lost the power to j
dream and have visions lias ar-i
rived at his trail’s end as far as]
accomplishing things goes.

One of the fine arts of living is
making the best of what, we have,
it may not bo the best there is,
hut. if it is the best wo can secure
we should strive to be happy with
it even while planning for some
thing better. Did yon ever stop
to think that there are thousands
and millions of people in this
world who would be supremely,
radiantly happy with even the
possessions and the surroundings
that you yourself have, au d
which may have grown common
because of their association? Your
problem then is a problem of ad
justment, of recognizing the ad
vantages and the real measure of:
wealth and possibilities of happi
ness that are yours. If these oth
ers could be happy with what we
already have so can we, if we
will.

Colorado, which took on an old j
age pension of $4 > a month with
out first sitting down and count
ing the cost, finds itself obligated
to pay on these pensions 818,000,-
000 a year, which it has discover
ed it Can’t raise. Th e problem I
now before the new governor is
partial repudiation or expropria
tion of all private properly. While
we have nothing but the best of I
feelings toward Colorado we are|
glad that, at least one state hast
proven that money to pay pen
sions does not fall from heaven, or
grow on bushes, and that before
it eau be paid out, it must be col
lected. The rest of the states are
indebted to Colorado for making
this discovery.

The government is on the look
out for unfair competition in re
straint of trade in industry and
among business enterprises. If
you want to hear a good speech
on unfair competition in restraint
of trade ask any home town print
er what he thinks of the govern
ment’s engaging in the little busi
ness of printing envelopes and
transporting them free in the
mails; ask any light and power
utility what it thinks of the gov
ernment getting into the light
and power business. Ask an y
banker what he thinks about the
government’s money lending com
petition.
Since it is Reason which shapes
anti regulates all other things, it
ought not itself to be left in dis
order. Epictetus.

Swallows Travel Alone
. Ornithologists say swallows are
almost the only birds which travel
in migration during the daylight
| alone. Most migrating birds eat
during the day and travel at night,
, j but the swallows sleep at night. It
j 1 j is said that they are slow travelers
i; and do not like to fly over water. If
- j they encounter a bay, or river, they
j patiently fly around it.

AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE
COMPANION TO THOUSANDS
Hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men read THE
AMERICAN BOY Magazine
every month and consider it more
as a living companion than as a
magazine.
“It’s as much a buddy to me
as my neighborhood chum,”
writes one high school senior.
“THE AMERICAN BOY seems
to understand a boy’s problems
and considers them in such a
sympathetic and helpful way. It
gives advice and entertaining
reading on every subject in which
a young fellow is interested. It
is particularly helpful in sports.
I made our school basketball
team because of playing tips 1
read in THE AMERICAN BOY.”
Many famous athletes in all
sports credit much of their suc
cess to helpful suggestions re
ceived from sports articles car
ried in THE AMERICAN BOY
Magazine. Virtually every issue
offers advice from a famous
(coach or player. Football, bas
ketball, track, tennis, in fact
every major sport is covered in
fiction and fact articles.
Teachers, librarians, parents
and leaders of boys clubs also
recommend THE AMERICAN
BOY enthusiastically. They have
found that as a general ruie reg
ular readers of THE AMERICAN
BOY advance more rapidly and
develop more worthwhile charac-j
teristics than do boys who doi
not read it.
! Trained writers and artists,
'famous coaches and athletes, ex-
Iplorers, scientists and men suc
cessful in business and industry
join with an experienced staff to
1 produce in THE AMERICAN
BOY', the sort of reading matter
boys like best.
