Because, he sells his time to an employer for per day or per week and if he is not willing for the wages paid, some one else will. As a rule the employer is paying all he can afford to and compete with others in the same line. You may have ever so much ability and a desire to succeed. You probably are ambitious and are doing everything you can to make good and get ahead but you can't. Of course you can't there is a limit placed on the value of your time and you have perhaps reached the limit right now But suppose you had a piece of productive soil the basis of all wealth then what? Then the limit would be the limit of your ambition and ability and all the profit would go to you. You can buy a tract in GUTHRIE ACRES On easy payments at a price that put sthem within the reach of every man who has a desire to take opportu nity by the forelock to break the bonds of servitude. There's a lot more we want to tell you, and a little booklet, "A Bit of Oregon History," that you ought to have. See us at once don't let another day go by.
