Here's Good job
FOR THE Old MAN.
Boys Unobtainable Today,
Western Union Company
Must Have Messengers
PIONEER IN THE
SERVICE SATISFIED

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is attempting to extend it's mes
senger service, so far as the employ
ment OF men past the middle line Of
life Is concerned For some time past
it has advertised for active. elderly
men" as messengers. According to
officials of the company. there have
been two applicants, one of whom
WIS employed.
The telegraph company officials say
that there Is a dearth of messenger
boys. This is not in any sense due 10
the high cost of living or of boys. but
Is due, in a great measure, 20 the fact
that people whose sons in the past
had been available as a source OF sup
ply for their messenger service, were
now receiving such large salaries that
their sons were sent to school in-
stead OF TO work and that the boy
who was now available was not Of the
same grade Of dependable intelligence
that formerly obtained. Even the
lower grade of boy is not available
now, they contend due in a great
measure to the craze for child labor
laws Of various States. and which
place various ages as the limit of en-
ployment.
Wallace Bennett is the pioneer "old
man" messenger in Wilmington. He
Joined the Western Union Company
six months ago He says the job
Is good one, despite the fact that
lie travels as high as 20 miles in one
day.

Go TO Church NV Friend
Written for The Evening Journal
BY JAMES T. CROZTER.

When Sunday shall come don't you
stay at home,
But to the church Of your choice;
It is best OF all days-for prayer, song
aud praise,
That make the heart always rejoice.
You are sure OF a welcome where
ever you go.
No mattel. what name or what
creed;
For the latch string Of each hangs
outside the door,
And their hand shakes OF welcome
you need.
How sweet is the time that you spend
in a church,
In hearing the Words of the Lord
From Him who is trying to win pre-
cious souls.
Bv preaching the sweet precious
Word.
The days are fast passing the emo
may be near,
To prepare Is enj0ined upon all;
To get ready TO stand at the JUG
ment Seat.
When the time shall come for that
call.
Each woman and man who accepts
Christ az King
And who know that He dwells in
their heart;
Are perfectly safe when the end shall
be reached,
And from friends here below they
must part
The gates are wide open for them &c
go in
To that land and that home Of the
blest;
For the blood Of the Saviour has
cleansed them from sin,
And His Promise is Eternal Rest.
Perhaps you have loved ones await
ing for you,
In that home where the flowers eve
bloom
That home for the saved, Just believe
my friend,
When your body is laid in the tomb
So don't stay at home, but go TO SOM
Church,
Your enjoy yourself most any
where;
Then some day, or some night, Il vol
feel you are right,
Your friends will all know YOU'RE
up there.

agent to place their ideas before the

every male resident of this State;
above the age of sixteen years, with
the exception of landlords or tenants.

down the State as il does in behalf OF
the sportsmen who, It claims, have

The petitions issued by the associa
ton recite that the game laws Of tn
I State have become ineffective through

( with which to carry on the game war
den service, and that the interests o
/ farmers and sportsmen alike have beef
sacrificed by violations Of the game ant

j with a request for the legislators =
give serious consideration TO the
urgent needs Of the situation, and e
that end, to enact law providing fol
the payment of one dollar and ter
cents by residents OF the State for Z
license to hunt and fish, in order t.
