The Sticker is the getthere’ man. < Stick. Everybody begi-s—but not aii stick. Yesterday you failed, maybe, but today you can Win— U you stick it out All achievers wear a badge labelled 'STICK.' You stick—today. ! When you feel like quitting —Stick? | If the other fellow is getting the best i of you—stick. He will if you don t. Stick. The great successes of busi-j ness and life are but repetitions of the same story —the story of men w co j know HOW to st*L Stick. You may ' not like your yob but think before you change it. So few know HOW . to stick. So few learn WHEN to ! stick. So few care WHERE they stick. You think it out with patience. • Then—whether it be a job or a task —stick it out. Stick. Today—start thinking and stick to each task until finished —completed in the best way you know how. Just stick." The state tax board’s recommendation that Indiana should provide for . an inheritance tax deserves the early and series attention of the legislature. The general reasons -u support of such a ’ tax are, cogent and obvious. Almost any <ae can call to mind epa-' crete examples of estates that havp, ap-, caped taxation because there is no rm heritance tax. There have been discreet rich men in this and every Indiana city who have, by maklwg 999yeer leases requiring all taxes and road improvements to be assumed by the lessee, put themselves beyond the reach of the tax gatherer. Only an income tax would reach them, unless it could be that their leases could be made subject to taxation, when the estates are transferred. This is only one of the most obscure phases of the questions raised by the state board. Accumulations of money, in the earning of which the heirs have had nothing to do, hav- been permitted and protected by the state. Certainly the state should have some small share when the owner passes wealth on to 1 other hands.—lndianapolis News. - FOR SALE.

Conner AT M. E. CHURCH Another Popular Lecture Tonight—The Afternoon Meetings Interesting. Monday night at the popular lecture at the M. E. church, A. W.

His delineation of boy life, and es’.neciaßy the incident of the swimming experience, which in his life, was no doubt the very same, that every boy undergoes, was so witty and withal so true to life, that every man in the audience was convulsed with laugh- ' •»- H" deleted other scene* from a boy's life, and brought his audience Into sympathy with the inner life of the little "tad," who is so often misunderstood. He stated that the only true solution of the boy problem could be accomplished by getting into close touch with the boy and his nature, and by understanding him. The parents, and especially the fathers, were asked to keep their own boyhood days in mind, and remember that what pleased them will please their boys.
