WHAT SUCCESS MEANS.
Success, as applied to the career
M a man or a woman, means, that
an the long ago, he or she determined
that, as success was his or her
ambition, that he or she would attain
it regardless of what else in
this life they missed; and it means i
that by the hardest of work and toil,
and self denial running all throughj
the years, they have kept success;
always ahead as the only aim of life.'
We are want to look upon the,
successful man or woman not only!
with feelings of pride in their
achievements, but with a kind of impression
that their attainments were
reached without much effort by rea- j
son of their extra amount of brain '
power, or by means of mere chance i
or good fortune as it is often times!
expressed. In the mind of the great!
public there are all the reasons in1
the world for why the other man
had gotten along rather than his
"honest living and the application of
what brain and power he or she
possessed in the direction of accomplishment.
We have often said that when a |
young man, for instance, starts out'
to make a way for himself in this!,
life, that there are always but two
roads open to him and he is per-,
fectly free to choose either of them. I
He has to begin with whatever ad-'
vantages his parents have been able
to endow him with. In the way j
of gray matter he has what was allotted
to him under the hidden but!
nevertheless sure regulations of nature.
In the way of wealth he has
what his parents have left him orj
have given him; or he has whatever
of either of these things that he has
been able to gather for himself
while growing up. Now, there are
the two roads: The one is the broad!
and easy way of pleasure, while the
other is the narrow and hard way!
of industry and application to'
a chosen end of life. We say be is]
\... frfee to take either and he is. It is
Tor him to choose whether he is to'
be a drone in the affail's of men, do-!
ing only lho*6 things which he must)
.do .in order to exist and live to him-J
self; or whether he will desire that (
<he will use to the very limit of his i
powers those things which he has j
to advance himself along the way I
of usefulness and ultimate success. ,
There are those in every walk of!
life who think they can succeed and
at the same time take in the pleas-j
ures of the world. Iiut nothing of|
this sort was ever done. It will
never be. He who is wed to what he
A A \ 1 A I I 1
wants u> oo is me oniy one wno can
do it. Two masters will not do in
this as they will not in other things.
The attention must be riveted on
the main chance and not let loose
to wonder. The gates of pleasure
stand wide open at all times to lure
the young man from paths of industry
and wealth, to the rosy vnys of
indolence and ultimate poverty and
actual want.
Thos who have attained success
in this world have not done so by
idleness.' They have done it by hard
work anrl attention to their work or
business. In no other way can a
man advance and accomplish what he
should, no matter what his calling
may be.
Therefore success in anything
means that hard work has gone before.
Those who expect to attain
It without hard work and close application
are bound to be disappointed.

gasoline drum
rs1:n as still
Destroyed Last Sunday Morn-'
ing by Officers of the
Law
NO 0PERAT0R~C0ULD
BE FOUND AT STILL
Two Gallons of Moonshine and
Soiu* Mash Turned Out
Ai
to Waste.
* '
Officers were awake all of last
Saturday night and watched near a
whiskey still of the gasoline drum
variety and of fifty gallon capacity,
on land of Burrough & Collins Co.,
and near the residence of Mary Baker,
a widow, and the home of Roy Ses-1
sions, not far from Conway. After
watching all night without success in
catching the operator they destroyed
the still on Sunday morning, with
two gallons of rum and 10.") gallons
of sour mash.
Officers had spotted this still some
time ago. Thinking they might get
the operator Saturday night, they
went there and found a big fire under
the still and a charge on, hut nobody
present as operator. For this reason
they hid and watched till Sunday
morning, when the still was cut up
and put out of business and the supplies
on hand turned out to waste.
There is no evidence to connect
either Mary Baker or Hoy Sessions
with the still, nor anybody else, as
to that matter, officers giving up
hope of arresting the owner of the
still. It was evidently located on the
land of Burroughs & Collins Co. without
their knowledge, and perhaps for
the purpose of hiding all the better
the identity of the stiller.

MEXICAN LAWS i
OBJECTIONABLE
<
Washington.?The drastic nature I
of the new Mexican petroleum laws ,
which menace American properties
with seizure are emphasized in a '
summary appearing on the report
relating to the treatment of American
oil prospectors by foreign gov- :
ermnents which has just been trans- ;
mitted to the Senate by President
Harding. It marks the first time *
that the official text of the laws or
any part of them has been made 1
public in this country.
i no report at so reveais tne grave '
issue the enticement of the laws has
raised between this country and Me\- ;
ico, and which has served to further j
complicate their relations. It discloses
that the state department has
made them the subject of "a solemn
and repeated protest" in which the
Mexican government has been warn- 1
ed that they "appear to threaten confiscation
of extensive rights of ^
American citizens, and that, in the 1
face of such a danger, the government
of the United States could not |
remain insensible to the rights of
its citir.ens." i
The laws involved in the controversy
were approved by President ''
Carranza a few hours before his a-?- :
sassination, and President Obregon, 1
his successor, saw fit to perpetuate
them, though the United States portested
vigorously. They specify generally
the conditions and regulations
under which the government
may grant concessions in federal
zones and contiguous territories for
the development of petroleum and
other mineral deposits.
During the Huerta regime numer- '
ous concessions to exploit the fed- 1
eral zones were granted to Americans
and other outsiders. One
signed on the last day of his term, ,
the report declares, authorized tho
extraction of any quantity of petroleum
up to 20,000,000 tons annually
from any zone. Now, it is pointed '
out, the Mexican government is in a ,
position to abrogate these concessions
at will under the new laws,
which provide that each "shall cover
a definite tract of contiguous area."
According to information reaching
the state department, tho report
states that the Mexican law defines
federal zone as all land extending
20 meters in width on each side of
a stream as far as the high tide
mark and 10 meters in width above
as far as it is navigable by rafts.
Many American properties are located
along these streams which are, a>
the report points out, navigable by
rafts during the wet season of the
year. Thus, these lands automatically
become part of the federal zone,
although they are situated on channels
that are nothing but dry beds
most of the yea)*, and are placed at
the disposition of the government.
