Suggestion in Suicide.
Irgh Chronicle Telegraph.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
There is reason in the resolution passed
by the Pharmaceutical Association OF
Rhode Island, asking the newspapers
to refrain as far as possible from pub
used in suicides and other crimes. The
mere mention of such things in print
has an Enthusiastically injurious influence
upon the public mind. Let the fact be
published that some unfortunate mas
faken his own life by means of a deadly
poison, heretofore not widely known, and
by some perverse inclination. weak
minded persons here, there and every
where are impelled to try the same
fatal agent. Strange to say. In many
such cases the thought of suicide seems
TO arise first from the mere contempla-
ton of the details of self-murder COM
mitted by another.

ADVERTISING FOR A JOB.

Copyright. 1918. by the Mcclure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)
The business men Of America spend
more than $780, 00, 900 annually in adj
vert.sing their commodities. II adver-
Using didn't pay, they wouldn't do 1t,
and advertising Is increasing.
II it pays to advertise goods, why
should 1t not pay to advertise for a
position? IL not the applicant, COM
mercially speaking, for sale? II what
he Is and what he can do are market
able commodities, should they not be
presented and advertised az are other
commodities?
Nobody wants to buy Of the seller
who doesn't want to sell what he has,
and nobody wants to hire anybody
who doesn't want the position and who
doesn't make q vigorous effort to OBJ
tain It.
The would-be employer recognizes
enterprise. and advertising stands for
progression. It IL an acknowledged
mark OF earning capacity.
Lazy folks don't advertise and un-
successful men make little effort to
push their war 20. The employer wants
the boy or man who not only will helm
himaelf after he gets the job, but will
help himself to get 1t.
Every newspaper carries Want adj
vertisements. under headings like sit

ments are read by concerns looking for
employees. from Office boys to statesmen,
from bookkeepers to managers. The
expense is very slight, considering the
circulation Of the newspaper and the
fact that the advertisement appears

Every few days I am going to try
to tell you not only how to get a job.
but what kind OF a job to get. But
just now, at the start. when you and I
are becoming friendly, I am going to
make q few general remarks ON job
getting. presenting some general prin-
ciples. and then. In a day or two, we
will get down to business specifically.
The fundamental way to get q job
Is to 60 out and look for 1t.
The job is there waiting for you.
Il you wait for the job, you and the
job will never meet.
Jobs, like opportunities, stay where
they belong. They don't move about
and they are not particularly cordial.
have never e a job that resem-
bled a reckoning finger that stood out
In the broad wide street and asked
somebody to come and take 1t.
The job minds Its own business, and
stays where it is. 1t is "up to you"
to locate 1t, but you must do
thing more Than find it. Knowing
where it Is won't do you any good II
you don't walk up to it and get
mighty close to 1t and tell the Job
that you want 1t.
Urge the job. coerce the job. grasp
the job. grab the job.
Perhaps there isn't a job for every
jobber. Perhaps, at times, what you
want isn't within your reach. Very
well. Don't wait for the job you want.

From the Onawa Democrat.
j. w. Davis. who q spent his life in
Iowa. said to a Democrat reporter:
do you know that on November I. 1856.

not been equaled since, began falling?
When the storm abated. after three days.
there had fallen on the level four feet Of
snow from Sioux City to st. joe"
Mr.. Davis then resided In Mills county
and ~corroborates b takes Of h early
settlers Of this county regarding the
storms and winter Of 1856 and 1851.
After the snowfall there were q few

TO ct A JOB.

Take the job you can get. and work
while you walt.
The fellow with a Job can yet on
to a better job ten times more quickly
than can the fellow out of a job.
Just remember that the job won't

for 1t, and you must aim straight to
hit 1t.
Scattering shot is all right for
bringing down tissue paper birds; but,
when you want to hit anything wortl,
while, you must use rifle bullets. ana
you must take careful aim, and you
must have your gun ready, 80 that
when you come In sight Of the game
all o have to do Is to aim and fire
at 1t. For. IL o have to load, very
likely 1t will pass out Of sight before
you are ready to fire.
Go after the job, for the job won't
come to you. Go at it with both feet
and with both hands stretched out
toward it. Don't ask it to come to you.
for it won't.
The fellow who doesn't know how to
get a job is not worth much on any
job.
II you don't know how to get a Job,
learn how. because, unless you do
know how, the chances are that you
are unfit to handle any job. 1t is Just
as important to learn how to get q
job as it Is to know how to keep q
Job; perhaps more SO, because you
certainly cannot keep a job until you
get 1t.
Don't walk after a job; run after 1t.
