"The ultimate aim Is not only bet ter business, community and con ditions, for upon' this foundation only a building is unsound. The structure should be founded upon an abiding faith, in the broadest sense. The greatest component of this is the stones of opportunity which Is always knocking. -The statement that opportunity knocks but- once is one of the greatest fallacies in the world." v ; That opportunities present them selves constantly was demonstrat ed by the speaker by the. many lit tle acts that can be done 'during the day that will tend to make the other fellow j feel better. A cheerful word, praise of deeds and work and appreciation and recog nition for things that have been accomplished, he said. "Do not be afraid aof peddling a. little judicious 'bull, " Mr. Mc Cuilough said, in closing. "Out line the program' for the day upon arising in the morning and con duct your business in such a man ner that no opportunity for per sonal contact may be neglected.

Threshing of flax got under way at the state prison yesterday after a lapse : of seven months, when the entire flax manufacturing plant, including all machinery and raw material,: was destroyed by fire shortly before noon j on Sep tember 15. I "The conflagration set; us back at least seven months," f W. W. Crawford, superintendent ot the flax mill, said yesterday.! "There are at present 1400 tons of raw material: that must be got out of the way before the new crop be gins to arrive in August. Farmers have- already contracted 3.000 acres of flax with the penitentiary and at present; we are short about l.OOOJiushels of seed. As air the grjKmd must be seeded bjf the lat ter part; of this month, I expect to put on a night shift J immedi ately in order to thresh sufficient flax to provide the farmers with the necessary seed." j f All work is being carried on in the recently completed warehouse where nine machines for threshing have been temporarily Installed.

Two SixHour Shifts Will Be in Operation Today Beginning yesterday the Spauld- ing Logging company' will operate on a two six-hour shift basis in place of the two eight-hour shifts. The first shift -will begin . at i7 o'clock this morning and will close at 1:43 o'clock. Forty-fife minutes for lunch "and changing of knives and saws will begin at 11 o'clock. The second shift which corresponds to the night shift, will begin at 1:45 o'clock and continue until 8:30 o'clock. A 45-minute period for lunch will begin at 3:45 o'clock. , Either the shifts had to be re duced or else the plant force re duced, according to Oliver Myers, manager, as the depressed condi tion of the lumber market made it impossible to continue on the old basis. The change is only-temporary, ;he said, and . as soon as conditions warrant, the , old plan of an eight-hour shift will be re turned. Had the length of shifts not been reduced the plant would have been operated on a one-shift basis of eight hours. V ! HEALIi CU ic nmni nn ire .
