May all who read this be able to

life is done, and that now or never
Is the time for some appropriate
last words.
Few, at death, seem to realize
that it really doesn't matter much

millions that come and 60. Con-
sidering how wen all things gen.

for granted that little microbes

treatment when the time comes.
Can you imagine divine justice

While you are here, read good
books, think earnestly, try to
translate your thinking into useful
work Of some kind.
Read biographies of able men.
Abraham Lincoln fed his youthful

For one hour every week at

printed in full the quotation re-

The temptation to put twenty
eight lines Of Shakespeare into the
hands of eight or ten million
Americans that see the Hearst
newspapers on Sunday should not
be neglected. You won't waste
time if you read these lines twenty
times.
"All the worlds q stage.
And all the men and women merely
players;
They have their exits and their en-.
frances:
And one man in his time plays
many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first
the infant. mewling and puk-
ing in the nurses arms.
And then the whining schoolboy.
with his satchel
And shining morning face, creep-
Unwillingly to school. And then
the lover.
Signing like furnace. with woeful
ballad
Made to his mistress eyebrow.
Then a soldier.
Full Of strange 0aths and bearded
like the pard.
Jealous in honour. sudden and
quick in quarrel.
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And
then the Justice
In fair round belly with good
capon lined.
With eyes severe and beard of
formal cut.
Full of wise saws and modern in
stances:
And SO he plavs his part. The
sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipperd panta-
loon.
With spectacles on nose and poucb
at side;
His youthful hose. well saved. a
world too wide
For his shrunk shank: and his b;u
manly voice.
Turning again toward childish
treble. pipes
And Whistles in his sound. Last
scene of all.
That ends this strange eyentful
history.
Is second childishness and mere
oblivion. sans teeth. sans eyes.
Sans taste. sans everything

NO NEED LEAVING
 HOME THIS YEAR
Plenty of Work for Women, Girls and Boys in Local Canneries
 This Season

For tdc past several seasons many local women, girls and boys have lcft tho Island during the fishing season to work in nearby cannerics. Some of the people have done we'll at Che work, while others have barely rup. expenses
 This season it should not be nee pssary for anyone to leave home Co secure employment. There will be a choice of three cannorics in which to work and there is no doubt but that the local plants will pay the going wages. There is distinct ad- vantage in working in your home town over going Co some outside point. as the women can look after hoir homework during spare time and thc young folks can be in town wIth their usual companions and amuscments.
 Last weel, the new cannery on the ferry wharf sent out a call for thirty women. girls and boys to sign up for work at their place. Already about fifteen have signed up. and we are dcsirous that the full thirty names be secured in a short time The list is suI open for signcrs at Inc News office
 The two other canucrics will m- doubtcdIy need workers, SO even if rhc total number is secured for this plant there will be plenty of places Lnr nN-Nnnn
