BARRETT YOLO P«s' Did you ever watch a king bird chase • crow? If not you have an interest . . . : _ . . . i n g e x p e r i e n c e awaiting .vou. In the chase there is enacted a drama which illustrates the force of persistency and the failure of unused power. The kihgb,ird, otherwise known as the 'lee-martio, is ahout the sixe of a spar , row. . In Roiije ' re spects. It is saij] t.1 be a par.isite because tiie' mother bird lays her egps m the nest of some other hird and i* about the only specif which refuses to batch out Its owff-y«^mK. In ex: ery other respect>the king blr.d i« a model of • ontariti#".. t*sr8i8teiiey: '$!?« crow, for which the "king bird serins to have, a very prono'unced dislike, is about five times as large as rfs ehemy and as many times aj strong. It is ' very amusing to See- the little bird; chasing the large bird through the air in a most ferocious attack, always the victor In the struggle, unless the crow, by flying faster, can escape. The . crow never strikes back, „ev£n though Its strength la many times greater andcoolO, In a minute, crush out the life of the little king bird. In this little drama in birdland is enacted the struggle between power and persistency. When we shift our point of view from the birds to our daily experience, we meet the very same thing. Many times have we wondered why a person with so small amount of strength and talent succeeds in life's struggle, while the more fortunately erfdowed lags behind In tbe race. Latent power is of no value unless used. Money! for instance, in the possession of which seems to He the balance of power, Is \>f no value unless it circulates. A hoarded dollar earns no interest. Un expressed impulses die. The power in the rapids, unless harnessed for the purpose of driving turbines, goes to waste. That person who refuses to take part and stand u^ for the right *" soon becomes a prey to the imposter. whose strength ma" in comparison be no greater than the king bird; but, be cause of persistency may succeed in bis vicious attacks. Sometimes it ap pears as though evil forces are more powerful than good forces. They are not more powerful but frequently more persistent. Good forces are always stronger but frequently more dor mant and silent than those which make for evil. Unless the good forces strike .back, tbe evil, forces will win. "A fall ing drop sCt last will wear the stone." "Much rain wears the marble." , "Victory" says Napoleon, "belongs to • tbe most persevering." 9 Weptern Newspaper Union.

A telephone call is a quick, easy and dignified way to sell. One call to the local market determines the highest prices being paid. Another call to each customer clinches the sale, assures delivery and often results in additional orders for poultry and seasonal produce at the best prices available.
