'
Our Country Is Stil the
Land of Opportunity
Those who read the life his-.
tory of J. D. Goldman, who;
died the other day, must have
been impressed with the great
progress which this German
immigrant boy made after he
once got out of the Confeder
ate army and settled at old
Jacksonport and got his bear
ings in civil life.
From a poor boy, dependent
for his chance upon the hos
pitality and the good will of
the people of the South, in a
few short years he had become
a financial power, dictating to
the financial interests of a.
great section, though always
in a friendly, sympathetic sort
of dictatorship.
In Roger Babson s story oi
his Thanksgiving visit to the
home of Henry Ford, we find
the following: Just before
dinner Mr. Ford said to his
wife: “Remember seventeen
years ago?— Seventeen years
ago when you and l tramped
the streets of Detroit to get a
chicken for our Thanksgiving
dinner and none of the stores
would trust us? Seventeen
years ago— and 1 paid Uncle
Sam $76,000,000 in taxes last
year.”
Isn’t that remarkable? Yes
isn’t it typiealh American?
Don't we read something of
the same sort, though on a
smaller scale, perhaps nearly
every time we read an obitu
ary? Isn’t American life re
warding the man who sets
himself to serve, not only his
own intrests, but those of his
community and his State?
In Henry Ford’s Thanks
giving reverie there is a note
of humility, as he marvels at
the transformation that had
been wrought in his life in the
short space of seventeen years.
It is a proper note, and yet in
this transformation there is an .
inescapable lesson for Ameri
cans everywhere, the lesson
that America is indeed the
wonder land of opportunity,
where those who will serve
their fellowmen are rewarded,
and rewarded richly, in the
space of a few short years.
The man who first called r
America the land of opportuni
ty has been dead a long time,
but his description is truer to
day than it was when he lived.
We ofttimes think that all the
opportunity was exhausted
years ago. But it was not. It
is present, all about us, for
those who have eyes and wills
and energy to act.
Only Action That Counts.

OLD HOME PAPER
a p i$ 3$ n #i ?s 3$ .3$
Talk about your literature.
And papers up to date,
i All about the legislature
| And doin’s through the state;
To me they ain’t comparin’
■ Though 1 Look the world
around.
To the litle newsy paper
From the old home town.
■There’s something brewin’ in
the air
The day the paper comes;
Ma, she goes about her work
And either sings or hums.
But I get jest so restless
Till the postman brings it down
And I’m afraid to grab the
paper
From the old home town
Ma comes into the settin’room
And lets the dishes go,
And listens while I read about
The folks we usta know.
For births and deaths and
land deals
And weddin’s too abound;
All are mighty interestin’
From the old home town
1 know it ain’t so classical
As these big dailies are
That tell abut the prize fights
And latest movie star.
But jest for my enjoyment.
There’s nothin’ I have found,
Like the little newspaper
From the old home town
Guarded Natural T-sources.
“The Indians of Kentucky,” says J/r
Clark Wissier, “were In the linhi< of
burning oil forest areas regularly so ,
ns to provide pasturage for the huff, lo
thus enticin’.: him to remain in the
country.” Again, the Indians living in
the regions where wild rice gr< vs,
were observed to take certain precau
tions to protect the rice h ds. even to
facilitating their growth.’
The Journal $1 a year.

If you had three wishes, and could have either
