Conservation of water means planting more forests, and preserving those we have, for trees are the magnets which draw the water from the air and form our lakes and rivers. Conservation of water means keeping the rivulets as long as possible on our own home land. Conservation of money means spending money more slowly. Conservation is saving--and saving does not imply nor mean not spending; it means spending more carefully, more judiciously and getting the full value and use out of every bit, before it passes on to some one else. He who relies upon himself--upon his own efforts, works and resources--relies upon a friend who never fails him in any hour or under any press of circumstances. "May the vast future not have to lament that you have neglected it."--Abraham Lincoln.
CHAPTER XLIV "If the world does not recognize your talents, don't get discouraged; get mad. An angry man sometimes accomplishes something; a discouraged one never does." "If I were a cobbler I'd try with my might the best of all cobblers to be, and were I a tinker, no tinker on earth could mend an old kettle like me." JUST say that rhyme over until you know it; until it sticks in some odd corner of your brain, and keeps singing through your head and heart every day and all day. You will have more new ideas, do better work, make more money, climb higher socially and financially, be happier yourself and make those you love happier, if those four lines of rhyme come and go in your heart. They lead you to study nights; to believe in your own impulses; to think out new ways of doing old tasks; to make an art of whatever you have in hand. They train you for your chance, for that great chance which comes to everybody, and which is worth to you exactly as much as you are prepared to take advantage of it. They teach you not to wish for some one else's chess-board--but to take the one before you and play the game.
