this is one that can be most univer-

pressed in Guthrie for mothers can
he expressed in Mexico, Egypt or any
other land
In several Of the states Mothers
Day has been legally recognized. The
reason why May 10 was accepted as
he day was because of a resolution
that passed the national congress, in
which it was resolved TO observe that
day among its members, as we'll as
by the President, the cab ct and
o<her government officials.

Children obey your parents i'll the

SALON. for our warning.
No doubt some of our straight
laced, Old Testament loving ancest-
ors over worked the maxim, Spare
the rod and spoil the child but we
are now going quite too far in the
other direction and are headed to-
wards softness, Indulgence, and un-
dutifulness. American children are
criticized as having bad manners and
irreverent behavior, little regard for
their parents and little respect for age
and authority They are in danger
of becoming sophisticated, selfish, in
and unruly. Parents too
frequently acquiesce in this unchild-
like assertiveness. and even appear to
think it smart. In our homes and
schools should be taught the words
OF the wise man of old, "Harken unto
thy father that begot thee and de-
spise not thy mother when she is
old. Whose curseth his father or
his mother, his lamp shall be put out
in obscure darkness
There are also parents who might
give heed to the Apostles warming

GETTING A START
HOW TO GET A JOB

Every few days am going to Try
TO tell YOU not only how TO get Job
but what kind of job to get. But
| Just now, at the start. when yon ana
are becoming friendly, ] am going
to make few general remarks on
Job getting. presenting some general
prin ,iples. and then, in day or two,
we will get down to business specifl-
cally.
The fundamental way TO get a JOB
is to 20 ont and look for it.
If 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 seen job that resem-
bled a beckoning finger that stood
out in the broad wide street and
asked somebody to come and take It,
The job minds its own business,
and stays where it is. II is up to
You" TO locate it. but you must do
something more than find it. Know
ing where it is won't do You any
GOOD II Won don't walk up to 1t and
get mighty close to it and tell the
Job that you want it.
Urge the JOB. coerce the Job. grasp |
he job. gre b the job.
PERHAPS there isn't a job for every |
obber. Perhaps. at times. what yon
want isn't within your reach. Very
we'll. Don't wait for the job you
want Take the job you can get. and
work while YOU wait
The fellow with a job can get on
o a better job ten times more
mickly than can the fellow out OF
job.
Just remember that the job won
% cunning for you. You must gun
or IT, and you must aim straight

bringing down tissue paper birds
but, when YOU want to hit anythine
worth while. you must use rifle bull
lets, and you must take careful aim
and YOU must have your gun ready
so that when You come in sight OF
the game all you have to do is to
aim and fire at it. dTor, If you
have to load, very likely il 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 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 tina,
you are unfit to handle any job 1t
is just as important 10 learn how
to get job as it is to know how 10
keep a job; perhaps more so. be-
cause you certainly cannot keep a
job until you get it.
Don't walk after a job; run after it.
