CAN LEARN TO LIKE TASKS
Quality Once Acquired, Many Men
Will Find Their Life Take on
Brighter Hue.

1t IS remarkable fact that most
men are engaged in occupations that
they dislike. We know many doc.
tor who would far rather be an author
and, by the same token, we know some
authors whom we would like to be Goc.
tors or something else. There are
stateSnen who always wanted to be
biackSmithS, and blacksmiths who
wanted To be statesmen. In many in
stances they could trade and the coun.
Try would be the gamer.
But that's neither here nor there
The thing 10 be considered is that we
can make life whole lot easier by
learning to like tasks that we now do
not like. 1t can be done, strange as
it may seem. Many a man has learn
ed To like to play croquet or TO eat
greens. There are instances of men
who actually fell in love with their
wives.
1t will not do to merely assume
grin-and-bear-it attitude toward the
unpleasant task. Eat it up. Go at 1t
as though there were not half us much
fun in doing anything else in the world.
You will then certainly discover that
you were not nearly so badly off as
you thought you were.-LOs Angeles

In the various proposals for develop

siderable good work in this direction
has been done, largely through private
Enterprise; but there Is still much to
do in distinctly marking every fork

and made the Evening World the biggest nswspaper-and
long before oavaho left the Evening World and
the Evening Journal which made the circulation Of
every other evening newspaper joke.
This is written to call the attention Of merchants to an
advertising fact
The Evening Sun when it started had big circulation
but little ADVERTISING.
Merchants had learned that the evening Newspaper
and MUST be- the great advertising medium-sspseay
for
The merchants did their advertising in the morning
papers.
Day after day the editor of the Evening Sun told the
merchants that they made mistake Over and the
Evening Sun said to the merchants:
THE evening newspaper is the paper in which mer
chants should advertise.
1.-THE evening newspaper is TAKEN HOME by the man
that buys it, read by the women in the evening
buy in the morning goods ADVERTISED IN THE EVEN

Little by little very slowly the merchants discovered
that shopping in the morning based reading the
EVENING before.
They realized that wise advertising planned to reach

bases her buying Of the next day.
Every merchant now knows that the best advertisement
