place, even though there may seem to

be no relation between that particular

place and the opportunity.

Luck is the supplement of certainty

something extra that

to the undeserving, it usually favors

the worker who is on the job.

But chance is certainty's most dead

ly enemy. It is a thing to be elimin ated.. The entire process of civiliza

tion is concerned with the elimina

tion of chance.

Man's first stepsf in self support led

to the elimination of chance in food

supply and fclothing. Primitive hu

mans made no provision for the mor

month to come.

Civilization stands for conservation

of resources and provision for ensuing

years. Science removes the possibil

Itles of fatality from the diseases that

may or may not come, and business

reduces tomorrow's problem to a cer

tainty.

Insurance companies, savings banks,

and fraternal societies contribute to

the great purpose of modern thought and action, which is to let science take the place or error and brush chance aside.

Give effort and determination as hostages to fortune, that luck may pass your way, but eliminate chance; for chance is always against you, but luck may be your friend.

Only two of the original buildings n the west side of the square remain, the other buildings being new ones on the sites of old ones that were burned.
