THE STATE’S OL DE ST SEWSPATGR (Establi shed 1873) THE CROP ETERNAL There appears to be a crop failure in almost everything except suckers. Even with the injunction of a famous show- man ringing through the years, the testimony of thousands | who have been “bit,” sensational newspaper accounts of | frauds and passage of countless laws, the sucker crop. still | The fisherman for financial suckers is smooth, and he is plying his trade with great success throughout the! country. He can utilize almost any scheme, but mects with | particular success when dealing with the principle that “fields look green far away.” The government has been indefatigable in rounding up wildcat promoters; scores have been sent to prison. Lately | a round-up was begun in Texas, in which more than 200 per- | sons are charged with fleecing people who have seen visions | of boundless wealth through steam spouting from a hole in a} Texas desert. The victims are people in all parts of the | United States, but quite naturally most of them are people | with little experience in business and a great fear of poverty. Laws may help and constant effort upon the part of gov- ernment investigators leads to punishment of many crooked promoters and protection to thousands of people. But even a powerful government cannot protect all against the wiles of the sleek wild-catte YOUR TRAVEL Hlere’s a man who has crossed the Atlanie Ocean 271 times. A sailor? No. He’s J. E. Hargraves, English wool merchant. Fifty-three y have slipped by since Har- graves made h » from Liverpool to New York. He has seen a lot of changes in ocean vesse And if he lives another 50 years, he'll have to make the journey by airplane. Or, perhaps, dirgible steered balloon. The flying machine is destined to make the ocean ship obsolete—railroad trains also. You read about Hargraves, and this thought probably flits through your mind: “Why is it that this man can cross the ocean 271 times while most of the rest of us never can make the journey even once? Why do some people get} all the traveling while the rest rarely get anywhere, have to stay at home?” Fate has a lot to do with it, though sufficient will power would enable the average person to cross the Atlantic 271 times if he weren’t too particular about how he traveled and if he were willing to deny himself suf trips. But fate is the main factor. Sometimes it seems that We are guided from without more than we can guide our- selves from within. If you can solve the riddle of why some people are lucky enough to get as much travel as they want, while others are doomed to yawn at home, you have the answer to why a few have too much money and the multitude not enough. Hargraves, Esq., must be sick of the after crossing it 271 times on business. Too much is as bad as not enough—sometimes, even worse. The boy who cats too much candy with the castor oil. The traveling man gets “sick and tired” of the road, yearns to settle down on a farm or in some small town. The people on the farm or in the small town w “ The child’s heart thrills as he makes his first journey, walking for the first time, from mother to father. Later comes the thrill as he explores the house, still later the yard. | Then he stands at the gate or peers through the’ fence and wonders what lies down the street. Learning that, he yearns for the next town, se on until he wants to explore the world Not content with the world, men with telescopes study the stars, dream of flying to them in airplane Desire to travel is such a deep-rooted instinct that it is obvious life is: merely a stop-over on an endless journey through etenrnity.
