but I told him that I was interested |
only in longitudinal post-holes which,
he did not seem to carry. The last j
time he ran for the house, he had op
position and got defeated. And in or
der to keep busy at the same kind of
work that politics had kept him at, he
took up selling post-holes when his'
time was out.

MR. WADE’S WORK
The bill before the general assembly
requiring the slate highway depart
ment to take over fur /maintenance
an<t reimburse towns for streets in
those towpa used as a part of the
.stale highway sy.stem, has met a stub
born opposition in the upper house
after parsing the lower body by a
large maji.rity. .Authors and^idafend-
e:’s of the bill are vigorously working
for, its i)a.ssage but since it has the
opjiosition of the all-powerful high
way department, its adoption at this
.ses.sion is now hardly expected. Ul
timately, however, it will pass, for it
4s an-eniirely fair-and-reasonable re-
que.st that the involved municipalities
are asking in t.he way of sharing in
some degree the cost incurred in pro
viding and maintaining these city
streets that are parts of important
.state highways. This procedure is
now impo.Hsible because the present
law applic-s only to towns of 2,500
people and under, instead of to all
towns.
The stute-wide fight made in behalf
of the affected towns has been lead
by a useful Clinton citizen—R. W.
V'*'ude, and the pr.igress thus far made
ha-H been largely due lo l/ii intelli
gent leadership ahd untiring efforts*.

NATIONAL COFFEE WEEK

important opportunity!
\
OUR ( HANChkS CO.ME AND GO
A ntnn does not always know his
chance when it comes to him, bi’t if
he lets it pass, he will lean in time
that it went by. Then, too late, he
will overwhelm himself with re
proaches for not seizing the golden
eppt rtunity.
Business men decry tardiness in
those wliom they employ, for that
means not simply the waste of lime
that should be sjieiit in work. Sot tho
failure often times to be pre.seql when
opportunity, coming without warnitttri-
kn ot k.s, and-, being unanswered, .sum-
r.iarily depHrts. The great chance has
anfM-ared unherjilded and found us
wanting and went away,- leaving no
address. ‘
For our chances do not come with
hra.ss-bar.d music and pennons- waving.
T):ey .stealthily apprnarli; they sel
dom a<|vertise. They come, like suc
cessful b-^rglar^aithemwe expect them
least. If only \fre had.^known, wc cry
with vain regret. BuV'thcy promptly
w^nt where there were others wait
ing for them, with" trimmed Itmps^
These others seized what might Tiavo
be^ our own, and all cf what we
might have done had our “luck” l>een
different is unavailing.
What is luck? .Most of tho time it
means to be in the right place at the
right moment. The one who is there
if the winner over one who is else
where. A sentinel may be at his post,
but he is futile if he sleeps.
Thus to recognize and to imprbve
the opportunity one must be broad
awake to it with the keen edge of the
senses whetted. The worker who
brings only part of his mind to his
task is not wor^ the whole of the
pay he draws. He will miss -chances
not merely for himself — those that
quickly seized may promote his own
fortunes — but for' the concern that
when it ^^ured his services supposed
that* it was getting every bit jf,, the
man be is. N<^-0Pe''has a right to ex-
'peet a worker’s pay unlesa he serves
with all his'Xenses aware. *
His po.st-holes were conceded iby
him) to be the best post-noles ever
sold. And he explained his po.siHon
with regard to the tariff wall, claim
ing that the big chain banks had put
.such a high tariff on money that it
was impossible to get any of it back
into this country and that is why the
farmer is in such a pli^rht. He had
post-holes suitable for ^ences of all
kinds, such as pastures dnd hog lots.
He was elected to the legi.slalure on
the Anti-League of Nations platform
and said he headed the'licket, He was
;he only anti-leaguer m the whole
.state of Georgia to head a ticket. He
seemed right glad that the U. S.
stayed out of the league. His gra\e-
.yiird post-holes were square and about
15 inches det;p. He guaranteed that a
fence built with his post-holes would
keep ail of the dead folks inside and
tho.so outside would naturally give no
trouble to the fence--

The price of his post-holes in as
sorted sizes was 16 dollars per dozen,
including the luxury tax. He voted to
force France to pay her debt to Uncle
Sam during his last term, but the mo
tion was tabled. His 30-inch post-
holes were in much demand for out
side aerials, but he insisted that his
post-holes were more or less adjust-
.able both to the weather and the con
dition of the farmer who used them.
He introduced a bill while in the house
making it a misdemeanor for a bull
dog to run loose, but it was killed in
the senate—as most of the senators
had bull dogs.
