] OLDIERS marching make a discovery.
® If they are close to the drum they keep
' step prrfectly to its beating.
< Wt - ‘hey get far bshind they can
{ not I .p. For the at.mdspheric
: § waves (hal carry sound travel slowly.
e r——— The man ?Lt'the, far end of a long line
g of soldiers' liears the drum beat only
after the man close to the drum has put his foot forward.
Any soldier far behind ‘who relies on the sound will be
put of step with the others.
& & &
Life is a procession,' Time is the drummer, and the hour
t’lm is his drum. As you stop for a moment to read this,
E:ne and the procession go on, and you go with it. . Every
y men should be reminded of the fact that the only real
property is slipping past us, not used.
s MONEY lost can be made good, OPPOREUNITIES lost
md/}' come again; even FRIENDS lost may be'_",i"eplaced. But
TIME lost is gone forever. :
- ¢ ¢
Thomas Jefferson, who never lost a moment, whether he
was writing the Declaration of Independence for the United
3tates or shipping the skeleton of a moose to France, wrote
to his daughter Martha: .
““No person will have occasion to complain of the loss
of time who never loses any."’
‘A If you keep UP with Time, and stay close behind the old
srummer, you will have no trouble. You will find the pace
comfortable, conditions easy, no difficulty in keeping step
with the other leaders.
“4-- But those that throw time away and then complain that
they haven't got it, that fall behind farther and farther, pity
iheir lot. : .
They are mentally out of step, worried and hurried. The
day’s end finds them more tired than it does the individual
who has kept at the front and KEPT GOING.
. * .
They say ‘‘Time is money,’’ and so it is. - For money is
the thing that men accumulate by their efforts. And Time is
‘he currency that represents all real effort and all real results.
Time and money are alike in this—one who squanders
&ther will suffer for it.
Fall behind the times, become sluggish, let the procession
vass you, and it is a weary race trying to catch up again.
Fall behind with payments, let debt overtake you, be
cause you have not kept up with the financial procession, and
a weary stern chase is ahead of you.
With loss of credit it is the same as with loss of time.
“TODAY' |
KEEP NEAR THE DRUM
Father Time Beats the Drum,
and We All March.
We May Lag Behind and Get
Out of Step if We Choose, But
MARCH We Must, None the
Neither is necessary; both entail end!ess, unnecessary struggle.
s .8 .8 :
To a young man who said he could not save money be
cause he made only twelve dollars a week a wise adviser re
plied: ‘“‘lf you do not save SOMETI{ING on twelve dollars a
week, you will never save anything os ‘ong as you live.”
The man with a small salary thinks it isn’'t sufficiently
important to be worth saving. It isn’'t what you save, it is
what you DO. .
So it is with time. Nine men out of ten waste mgre than
half of it. Working for another man, they imagine that they
are wasting the other man’s time, whereas they are wasting
their own blood of life, throwing away the few years, falling
behind, probably never to catch up. > s
* & &
Time of itself is an even, unchanging current. The watch
ticks in your pocket, the earth rolls around once in twenty-four
hours, it journeys around the sun in its corkscrew path once
in a year. The comets go on their journeys and return, the
seasons follow each other. It is all smooth, even, steady.
Time is unchanging, but men, events and opportunities
change, and every moment has its value for the watehful,
painstaking man, for use of any one hour may mean success.
One moment may be more valuable than another in the way
of opportunity. But it is only the man who uses ALL the
time, studies and looks out all the time, who seizes the RIGHT
time.
And in the history of the world there has never been a
more important TIME than the present, or a time more com
pletely filled with opportunities and possibilities.
& 4 $
The world and its power are being rearranged.
The money of the earth has been poured out in tens of
billions.
In this country alone thousands of millions have been
spent, thousands of millions created, and the presses that print
money have been running night and day.
If MONEY is the thing yon want, time is valuable now
a 8 it never was before.
The next three or four years, unless all signs fail, are to
be years of most phenomenal prosperity and opportunity.
Drive about in a great city to-day; look at the fine houses,
hear names of those that have b g fortunes and you are told:
‘‘He made that after the war,”’ the reference being to the
Civil War.
A Daily Column of Comment and Opinion on High Spots of News Written by Arthur Brisbane in His Incomparable Style Appears in The Atlanta Georgian.
TELL YOUR NEWSDEALER TO DELIVER THE GEORGIAN AT YOUR HOME EVERY WEEK DAY AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN EVERY SUNDAY.
ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, MAY 26, /1919
Less, Beginning With the First
Breath and Ending With the Last.
It Pays to Keep Near the Drum,
Keep in Step, and Be “Up’’ With
Father Time.
This is another time of ‘‘after the war.”’ Fortunes are
going to be made greater than were ever dreamed of, for op
portunity is here, and the sums dealt with are gigantic.
& » é
Remember that the man who passes you in the street or
sits at the desk next to yours, bothered, perhaps as you are,
now, about payments on a house or a lot, will be in ten years
from now one to whom you will point, saying: ‘‘l knew him
when he had nothing.’’
If that man could be pointed out to you to-day yom
would say: ‘‘l have as good a chance as HE has; I can do
anything that HE can do.”’
So you have, and so you can, for all that he is really doing
is keeping close up to the drum of time.
He is not racing, turning somersaults, going without sleepw
or starving himself. But he is USING HIS TIME. While he
has work to do he is AT it. And when he has no work to do
with his hands, no routine work for his mind, he is THINK
ING, planning how he can get OUT of the routine.
R :
A man died a little while ago, and the papers tell you
now that he had so many millions to leave behind him. Only
a little while before he was a clerk in a department store.
He was not very young. Other men near him younger than
he would have laughed had they been told that they would
soon read of the great fortune built by this man. He was
capable, steady, able, not especially brilliant. But he kept up
with time, thought and planned, saved some money which
represented time gone by. When opportunity came he was
up in front and ready to take it.
Take the case of another man, one of the most useful, con
structive citizens in the country, and one of the most distinctly
successful. You would recognize at once a half dozen of his
accomplishments, standing out pre-eminent.
Not long ago, if you had gone into a certain shoe store,
you would have found this man ready to take off your shoe,
try on another, fit you if he could, treat you politely, and his
employer fairly in any case.
Perhaps if you had seen that man then and somebody had
told you that in a little while his money would run into mil
lions, and his accomplishments into something more important
than money, you would have said: ‘‘lf he oan do it I can, and
I will.”’ ’
Not far from you, with no better chance than yours, with
no advantage except perhaps that he knows time’s value,
works regularly, evenly, is the man who is to be the big suc
cess, to be admired and envied in ten or twenty years.
The pitiful thing about wasting time is the lack of reason
ing. All must march in Time's procession, anyhow. The
journey cannot be avoided.
It is worth while to make the extra little effort, to pay
attention to the minutes that go by and USE them, and thus
keep & front place in the procession.
Success is not difficult, especially in this country of op
portunities. It really takes persistent, almost scientific misuse
and negleot of time to make a real failure.
Competition is not keen; it is almost nil
How many men do you know of whom you can say truly
that each pays as much attention to the passing hour as he
would to a dellar bill lying in the gutter? Any man would
take the trouble to walk back and stoop down for the value
that a dollar represents. In modern success, the man whose
hour is only worth one dollar does not amount to munoh. If
he worked for fifty years and made a @ollar every hour, he
would earn less than half a million dollars, and that isn® a
fortune in modern phraseclogy, although ft i a great deal
of money. .
& * ¢ e
Any man of average ability can make the hours of M
life worth a dollar each, and that is putting ft mildly. And
the interesting part of i, for those that lMke business and.
money, is that each hour used makes the future hours more
profitable; the value of time grows with time, if you kvep wp
near the front. :
But the man worth while does not think of time g 3 msas
ured merely by the money that can be extraocted fyom i\
Money means only what you can eat, wear, a bed to sleep in,
FREEDOM FROM WORRY and the right to use your thne
as you please. : b
Real nse of time, real delight in it, its real value, comse in
the case of a REAL man when all material necessity for work
is ended.
Any hour well spent by an intelligent man can produoce
a dollar. The same hour well spent hy the same man ean
produce ten, twenty or a hundred useful thoughts.
In an hour you can read many pages containing the in
tellectual essence of great men that have lived before you.
One hour devoted intelligently to a good book of history,
astronomy, philosophy or science will actually add years to
your life, for in an hour you can absorb the work to which
other men have devoted years.
¢ e &
‘Every newspaper once a month ought to write about time,
the value and the waste of it.
Used properly, time will make you rich, and that is the
least important except as wealth means freedom from care,
time to think.
Used always, time will make you contented. The busy
mind is the only satisfied mind. On the day that you were
born you entered the procession, sentenced to it for life. .
The tail end is dreary and uncomfortable. The front end
is worth while.
Keep up with the old drummer; keep in step, keep ahead,
USE YOUR TIME.
