A SERMoNEr FOR WORKERS

dor the News by II. J. Hapgood.)
DO your dreaming while you are
asleep. The responsible job demands
not only widc-awake man but also
one who doesn't dream during business
hours. The listless fellow whose day
dreams invade the busy Office has no
place in modern enterprise.
The LATEST man in the world once
said II love my work so dearly. that
| can lie right down and go to sleep
along side OF it,
Needless to add further comment
that is not the kind OF close association
that should exist between II man and
his job. He must wrestie with his
work strive with it and ultimately
master it,
That far, PARKWAY look in the eyes
of an employee tells the boss that he is
not on the job every minute. He is
dreaming and his mind and thoughts
are miles away. If there are two things
capable of occupying the same place
at the same time, they are mans
mind and mans work. Mind and
work go close together. They are
inseparable and the right man will
keep the one on the top of the other
all the time, that is to say, he will
keep his mind on his job.

whose appetite is such that IT almost
rivals the fame of his voice, dined al
a table where all the women were
reasonably mature, with the exception
of the nineteen year-old daughter OF

slowly enough for him to engage IN
