It is ‘within the power of the Creator to bring to full bloom & plant or tree in the course of & day, but It is not so ordained. The plant or trée must work its way from a seed to mmturity according to its own nature and environments. Would it not be wiser to say that all of our achlevements hi their be- ginnings in the activity of desire, and that we have come to the full realization of them through learning and industry Special fer this Week at BEATON'S $5 Thermos 3239 ‘We have a complete line of Thermos Bottles.and: Robert L.
