The work Of the agency which ia
becoming more interesting monthly

the city to secure employment for
idle hands in Aberdeen. has been un'
usually successful. Over 1000 per

short jobs.
"The success of the bureau has
been established beyond q doubt,
said Manager Hill today. when we
first began work we had no idea that
such success would reward our ef.
forts"
It has been proposed by several
members Of the city council to enlarge
the scope of work during the ensuing
year. This being the case, It. would
be necessary to engage an assistant
to Manager Hill who, at present, is
conducting the bureau alone.

IT'S HIS GREATEST LECTURE
Ralph ParIette, Humorist. Philosopher
to Lecture In Aberdeen Next
Tuesday Evening

1t is an inspiring philosophy that
Ralph Parlette not only breaches,
but practices, as every one who
knows this widely quoted American
lecturer will testify.
This Is my creed" said he to the
reporters. ut enables me to do three
or four mems work-enables me to
travel and write the year around,
and lectuer each day. This ia what
has changed me from a hopeless in
valid to a hearty. happy man.
II believe this is the greatest day
Of my life. All my past days have
been getting ready for today. This
Is the wisest day of my life. All my
past wisdom has been crystalizing
into today. This is the happiest day
of my life. All my past happiness
has been preparing for the happiness
of today. l am doing the greatest
work of my life today. All the past
work has been hardening my mus
cles for today.
Il believe tomorrow will be a great
er day. I shall be greater, wiser, hap
pier, stronger tomorrow.
Il don't want to be a child again.
The marvel is that have gotten this
far. 1t Is a fine art to grow old and
acquire sense. l don't know how
long am going to live here on earth,
but l know I'll live until my job is
done. I have millions of years to
live beyond that, all better yet, and
Judge who will for the first time
in my life have all the evidence in
my case.
20, boys, it's a great thing to be
able to live and work at what you
love. I wouldn't trade jobs with any
body on earth!"
Ralph Parlette will lecture at the
high school auditorium, Tuesday
night, October 8.

Every Month

The suggestion offered by N. P.
Bryan, secretary of the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce that one and
possibly two sessions of the organiza.

such sessions be held in the evenings,
seems to have met with popular ap.

will begin within short time.
