The popular idea is that opportunity is either a lucky windfall or a favorable occasion to display one’s talents ‘and abilities. But opportunity is more than that. It is, in the last analysis, the chance to make some one]; think they can make money out of your’ work. To begin with, nearly every one is “out to make money.” There are two ways a man can make money — by his per- sonal efforts and accomplishments, or by {nducing others to work for him and contribute a portion of what they produce, in the form of a profit. __ For instance, a young man goes to a manufacturer. No jnatter what he has to offer in the way of personal services or new devices and systems, he is not apt to interest the manufacturer to employ him unless he can show such em- ployment will pay a profit to the employer. This is true of wages, sala and royalties. The process is similar in dealing with the consulting public. It is easy to sell goods when you are able to con- vince prospective buyers that it will be to their financial interest to deal with you. Prices and quality being equal, in competition, the personal element of friendship ehters into the matter and wins preference. But the selfish appeal is fundamental and universal. This principle operates in every human activity. The politician seeking office must, to get votes, show voters that it is to their profit to elect him. His inducement, for ex-° eg may be governmental economy and, in turn, lower axes. Even the young man courting a woman must appeal to the instinct selfishness — or, to put in in kinder words, he must convince her that mating with him will bring to her more happiness, a better standard of living or higher social standing than his rivals. keep ought not to be mixed up; to hold clearly in mind the difference ‘be- tween worthy ends, or professions, and unprincipled and unfair means; to spare no man who has betr d a public trust, yet not to rush off to join what may turn out to be only a hue and cry against officials unjustly assailed. We all want to see justice done. But it cannot be done simply by cherishing amiable and proper sen- timents. It requires straight and hard thinking. The country is ob- viously coming to do a little of that and could put up with’a great deal nore. w York Times. In an address delivered the other day at Manchester, England, the American ambassador Frank B. Kellogg, expressed the hope that in the not distant future Canada {and the United States together | would build a St. Lawrence river canal, enabling ocean-going ves- sels to go from Manchester to the tinterior of the United States. He said that the growth of civilization had followed great lines of water transportation. Under the plans proposed Great Britain will not participate in the uilding of the St. Lawrenec ca- nal.

Mister Muggs, the funny fairy man, pushed the thingamagig on the magic automobile and away it started for another place in Once-Upon-a-Time Land “We're going to see the Bears,” nodded Mister Muggs. “What Three Bears? Nancy. “Why, the idea! three bears, of course!” The Twins were too much excited | to say another word, and the little | car sped on and on and on over even bridges and~through seven tunnels and came at last to the forest where the bears lived. | Then they all got out and tapped on the front door. But nobody was at home. The door was open a crack, sg they all| went in. There stood three chairs, one for the papa bear, one for the mama bear and one for little Johnny bear. The last had the bottom out of it where Goldiclocks had sat it out. It had never been fixed. ‘And on the dining room table sat three bowls. But there was no soup in any of them! And upstairs were three beds different sizes—all mussed/ up though they hadn't been made aired for ages. “Well, I declare!” Muggs. “This doesn't look tise much of a place. No wonder they wouldn't stay at home with things in such a mess!” h, I've got a plan!" eried N .et's fix things up. I'M hunt clean sheets and pillow cases and make the beds and sweep thé rooms, and then I'll go down to the kitchen and cook some soup.” “And I'll go out and get my tools in the automobile and mend titue Johnny Bear's chair,” said Mister Muggs. “And Nick can help.” Nancy found an apron and dust cap and put them on, and set to work. Pretty soon they heard a growly voice outside say, “Woof! Woof! I smell something gorgeous.” And a middling-sized voice said, “I smell something wonderfu! And a teeny, tiny voice s smell something grand!” And in walked the three bears. ! “Oh, there's that girl that spoiled our things,” cried the papa bear. “No, it isn't!” said the mama “Where are your eyes?” look, my chair's fixed,” cried Three asked Goldielocks’ of or said Mister | “And dinner's cooked!

Mallard and pintail ducks, also three kinds of, hawks made their appearance at Car- rington April 4. Reports and rumors of robins be- gan to arrive irregularly but quite a few of the birds reached Fargo by April 6. The killdeers made their appearance about the same time, On that date the writer was surprised to see a mourning dove, several days earlier than he had recorded them in previous years. Probably it was an early wanderer from its companions like some of the earliest robins and meadow larks. Reference was made last week to the large numbers of robins delayed here in 1920, This year a similar case is reported from central Kansas the middle of February. Interesting bird reports have been received from Oklahoma, Kansas (south central) and Nebraska (Lin- coln). Martins had reached Okla- homa by the last of March. . House wrens and chipping sparrows were recorded, on March 27 and 28 from Kansas but not mentioned from Ne- braska.

Mr. Kasson had been ill for about three years suffering from a ner- yous breakdown which undermined his health and his death was not unexpected.

STEVENS Fargo, N, D., April 16.—The last weekend brought more favorable weather and the first wave of migra- tion.

H of the junco sounded from the gar- den where sevetal were hunting for their breakfast of seeds. trip showed that they were present in considerable numbers but no oth- er arrivals ‘were seen. Slate-colored junco is their ‘full and proper name although in the central states where they are found in winter they often. are called “snow: bird” or “black snow bird’’ to distinguish’ them from the white snow bunting. They are easily rec- ognized by their sfhte-colored heads id backs, their white breasts, bills and outer tai] feathers. In summer they inhabit the forest- ed portion of Canada and southward into the! eastern -states as far as Pennsylvania in; the, mountains. In winter they are found through most of the United States east of the Rocky mountaii In the Rocky mountains and’ westward several slightly different forms occur.

When John Huss was bound to the stake at Constance, in 1414 to be burned at a heretic, he saw, just be- fore the fire was lighted, an old, bent woman’ bringing a bundle of twigs to be put on the fire. “As she laid down her little burden, he'@hlled out: “O Sancta Simplicitas.”’ These words came to my mind’ the other day when a certain chain letter prayer came to my home. That peo- ple in our time, can be so ‘ignorant as to spend time, paper and stamps on such twaddle as these chain Ict- ters contain, does not speak well for their religious training, to say noth- ing of intelligence. A The prayer, so the sender states, “was sent in the time of Jesus, and destined to go around the world.” As it has only reached Bismarck as yet; it must have been sent by../'the wandering Jew,” who put it in: his overcoat pocket and forgot itj!just as men do today with their wives’ But this letter not only contains a prayer, but also a veiled threat. It states that “those that passed it by, met misfortune.” Ah, I have it! It is not a threat at all, nor will any harm come to any one who “passes it by,” but just th reverse. The ig- norant superstitious sender of theseY letters have misunderstood this sen- tence entirely. The correct render- ing must be this: “Those that passed it by met Miss Fortune.” _Now I am going to follow instruc- tions just as given: “Wait 10 days and see what happens.” I bet T'll imeet Miss Fortune’—with a pocket full of chain letter prayers! © Sancta.
