THE MAN WITH A JOB.

|
make an impression On the man with
one. Just at present this man with
out job is rather impressive. He
comes along hunting one and he
wants it bad. He comes to the news
paper Office and the employment
agencies, he asks at the doors and be-
sieges the factories and other places
where men are employed in numbers,
says the Marshalitown Times-Repub-
lican. Not that work in this section
of Iowa isn't plenty. 1t is. But the
man without a job is plentier. He
comes from other sections seeking
work. And there are lots of him.
Mind this man out of job isn't 4
tramp in the sense we have given the
word. A tramp is non-worker. He
doesn't want a job. Set him aside.
He's the mendieant who comes to the
back door with the certain indica-
tions of his idle profession upon him
and leaves mark to guide the next
member of his fraternity. The man
out of a job is different. He wants
work to pay for lodging and meals
and overalls and such necessities.
Sometimes he's not what ne should
be. He drinks Or has some failing
that handicaps him. But his need is
as great when it comes and he finds
il hard to supply.
The man with good job should
be a happy man. He should be glad
he has it and hope for better one,
but only the foolish imagine that the
way to a better job is to despite the
one in hand. The man or boy who
does his work well and takes 1t and
his connection seriously has hundreds
of friends and boosters. He gets the
better Job because it belongs to him.
But he hangs on to the one he has
until the better job flourishes its pay
check in his face. He is never the
man without Job.
The president of big insurance
company, writing to the agents told
them you are the company, its sue
cess depends almost entirely on you.
That's really what a job means. 1t
means being part of the company
whatever the company may be. 1t
means that dependence is placed Oh
the man with job and that if he is
to have "a better one or hold that one
q gainst other men he must be respon-
sibility.
The roads are full of men without
a job, men from the east and from
the west all centering on Iowa where
prosperity prevails as nowhere else.
And everyone Of them is a lesson
and a warning and a promise to the
man with job.
If you have a good job nurse it.
STAY by it. Make it love you.

Ex-Governor Hcch, of Kansas, tells
a story that always strikes the right
spot with the farmers. One time a
merchant put up a blackboard in
his store and asked his customers to
write their names on it and opposite
it tell what they were doing for hu-
manity. A lawyer wrote, Il plead
for ALL" A doctor wrote, Il pre-
scribe for ALL" A preacher wrote,
Il pray for ALL" An old farmer
walked up, wrote his name, scratch
ed his head while and then wrote,

Wise John Smith,

John Smith of Dewitt, wealthy
and sc years of age, has given each
of his five children a fine farm of
240 acres, says the Burlington
Hawkeye. Very wisely, he has re-
tanned 800 acres for his own use. He
was very wise in distributing the
greater part of his holding during
his life time. That precludes ex-
pensive lawsuits, if some one or
more of the children imagined that
they had received a trifle less than
had been given to the others. And
it was no less wise that he retained
800 acres for his own use. 1t As
more than he and his good wife will
ever need. And he might have far
ed just as we'll if he had divided ev-
erything he had. But perhaps he
thought of King Lear, or he may
have recalled the Spanish proverb,
which says that: 1T is easier for
one father to support seven sons
than for seven sons to support one
father

eral S. p. Freezing.

tor Clarence Davis of Sapulpa were
among the speakers Of the meeting.

several officials, while the gist of
Senator Davis speech was the urg-
ency of getting facts well in hand at
the earliest possible moment, in re-
gard to the alleged offenders in of
! flee.
The resolutions, in substance, were:
Resolved, That negligent county

fiedly condemned for their attitude
on law enforcement.

be particularly condemned for gross
neglect of duty and for oppression in
office.
