TAKES BIG XERVE
The man who makes a success of
an iWDortant venture never waits
for the crowd. He strikes out for
himself. it takes, nerve, U takes
a great let of grit but the man
who succeeds has both. Anyone can
fail Thie public admires the man
who has enough confidence tu him
sel* t. take a chance. Th.eae cha
sel' to take a ohance. These
chauces ere the main. thing after
all. Tue man who tries to succeed
must e.\o*ct to be criticiized . No
thing important was e\?er done but
the greater number consulted pre
v'Ous doubted 'he possibility. Suc
cors is the accomplishment of that
which most people thing can't be
done. !•<
BALLOTS SHORT
To the demand for the "short
ballo'" now is added the call for
a "small ballot." Economy iir use
of ijaner, during the coming elec

will please newspapers) publishers,
who are paying such hrigh; prices
for the precious fabric. In Ne

thf ballot used there ii^ November
will contribute in no way to wast

"Why floes the operation of hanging
kill a man?" asked Dr. Whately. A
physiologist replied:
"Because inspiration Is checked, cir

and congests the brain."

the earlier daysi dubbed "The Gate

Key to the Interior," but) which
is now -rightfully d^sign^ted "The

and out uoon a basis of permanence
a;< stability that have heretofore
bteeu lacking iu ;ts makeup. - The
old architectural eyesores, thg di
lapidated sthjacks, the ramshackle
outbuildings, the decayed &nd dan

and gardens aire fapadly being re
placed by modern and handsome
structures, by cement or other new

of delighted surprise from! all those
