Two Entertainments Last Evening

Last evening there were two en- tertainments in Williams-the eel ebration of Lincoln's centennial at the reading room, and the melo- drama, "Why Girls Leave Home." at the opera house. As THE NEWS goes to press Friday afternoon, it cannot, in this issue, indulge in any criticism, or inform its readers as to the number in attendance at the two attractions, but as the exercises at the reading room were free, and the program a most excellent one, THE NEWS feels safe in predicting that the sign standing room only" was not required at the opera house last evening.
 Just as we go to press telegram was received by J. Blum mberg from the manager of the "Why Girls Leave Home" company, stating that the troupe had missed connec- tions and could not appear here un- til tonight, Saturday, Feb. 13 The change of date will likely insure large attendance.

TO RISE IN BUSINESS LIFE.
Some Few Essentials Must Be kept
In Mind, and One Of These is
Advertising.

A man may have several carloads
of ability He may have brains and
ideas and other desirable things. But
all the ideas ever 'ideated" will not
avail to raise man who neglects that
all important item of advertising. You
simply must get attention. Of course,
you can get attention by firing Off
revolver during Office hours, or you
can do it by wearing loud clothes and
proclaiming your kinship in the
sporting fraternity. But most men
who have risen from the ranks have
carefully neglected to use methods
of this kind.
Every Office man must act as his
own salesman He must first pre-
pare himself by increasing his Ell
ficiency. He must be able to do the
work for which he is hired. Not only
should he do that for which he is
hired, but he must do that work bet
ter than it ever was done before
When that item has been attended tc
it is then time to look about for more
work.
The wise employe will keep his eye
on the job ahead, or, better still, vii
look at a job which does not exist
but which should exist for the goot
of the business. The next step is t
think out selling talk that will ge
the attention, arouse the interest
create desire, and bring about i
the mind OF the employer q desire =
do what, the live employe desires hir
tc do.-The Bookkeeper.
