DON'T GIVE UP.
Whatever has happened to you, j
don't give up.
Do not admit that circumstances
are more powerful than you.
Though your head be bloody it
should not be bowed.
You may have had financial losses
and the accumulations of years may
have been swept away, possibly by
the treachery of some friend. What
of it? Tighten your belt and go at
it again.
Your health may be impaired.
What of it? Other people have had
discouragements and have lived
bravely through them. The world
is full of unsung heroes who have
met with reverses and yet kep up a
brave front.
Keep your flag flying. The bank
rupt merchant or the disillusioned
youth may see no escape but suicide,
but those who are wiser tackle the
problem again.
There is no great teaching that
does not instruct us that we can rise
upon our faulty past and climb the
stairs to a fine future.
No more damnable gospel was ever
preached than that for you or any
man or woman there is no hope.
If you have sinned, if you have !
made mistakes, rise up! Shake off j
the past and face the future. There
is no man living but what has com
mitted some errors. We can allow
the burden of life to plunge us into
despair or we can shake it off and
seek other fields.
The world is wide and if there is
any one thing that both religion and
philosophy teach it is that we can
i rise upon the wreck of our dead
selves and enjoy that which re
mains.
You don't know what is around
the corner and no man can tell what
the future has in store for him.
Be a thoroughbred and kee^up
your courage even though the battle
may be against you.
Many a person has given up when
success lay just of him. If you
can't do anything else, hold on. Be
lieve in yourself, believe in life, be
lieve in your star. If none of these
beliefs can be proved to be sound
their effect upon your character at
least is sound, and one who is dom
inated by a persistent belief in his;
success is much more liable to have
a sure hand and a good eye than the
one who doubts himself.
Some one has said that you are
never going to succeed in life in any
thing, mental, moral or physical, un
til you have stricken from your
hands and heart and brain the shack
les of fear.
What we want in this world is
something to tone us up, to put us
at our best, and fear is just the
/opposite of this.—Dr. Frank Crane.
Do your Christmas shopping at the
Buck Stores. You can save money
on every purchase.

• A striking example of the evolution
of "spinning wheels" is the firm of
Neil & Stockwell, Oldsmobile dealers
at Marshalltown, lowa, one of the
few automobile firms in the world
composed of young women. Where
the ancesters of these girls mani
pulated spinning wheels in their
homes, Miss Ruth H. Stockwell and
Miss Margaret Neil are gaining for
tune selling the modern "spinning
wheels" of the highway.
The successful experience of these
Oldsmobile dealers is another evi

taken place in the social, economic
and business life of women. In the

Site of proposed Boulder Dam on Colorado River between Arizona and Nevada. Dam will be 550 feet high, 200 feet
at bottom and 1,350 across at top, will impound 26,000,000 acre feet of water or the entire flow of the river for eigh
teen months, will provide fall for generating 550,000 firm horse power, fcr which there is a demand when project is
completed. The primary object of the Swing Johnson bill before Cong-ess for the construction of this dam is flood
control to save Imperial Valley in California from permanent inundation and Yuma, Parker and other valleys in
Arizona and Palo Verde Valley in California fro'm annual flood menace. The,cost of the dam will be $42,000,000,
power plant $31,000,000, All American canal (a part of the project to relieve Imperial Valley from dependence upon
i Mexico for its water supply), $31,000,000. The total cost of the entire program, including interest during construc
tion is $125,000,000, all of which is to be provided from the sale of power from the dam and sale of water for irri
gation. The Federal government underwrites the project, but takes no risk.

it was the man of the house who
bought and sold without consulting
the women. But today, say the Miss
es Neil and Stockwell, it is the woman
who has the final say in the se
lection of the family car in most in
stances.
A broken arm resulted in this fem
inine automobile partnership. The
aceident occurred more than five
years ago when Miss Neil was taking
Miss Stockwell then a music teacher,
on a western automobile tour. Miss
Neil was the victim and the accident
forced Miss Stockwell to learn to
drive the car then and there, if they
were to proeeed.
Miss Neill had been an ardent
motorist for several years, and the

to automotive affairs awakened her
interest in cars. Finally the girls de
cided they might as well make a bus
iness of their joint hobby and nearly
three years ago they started in the
automobile business.
Their success from the start quick
ly routed the wiseatres who had
doubted the ability of women to
make good in this competitive and
mechanical field. The girls had intro
duced something new in the busi
ness. They had the women's viewpoint
and proceeded to cultivate it until
it grew a harvest of orders.
What would make a more apprec
iative Christmas gift for the whole
family than an Oldsmobile? Call and
see what we have for your selection.
