Results Bring the
Reward for Workers

To young man complaining that he
was underpaid for the work he was
doing corporation official said:
1t Is better for you II this company
thinks that you are not getting enough
than II 1t thinks you are getting too
much. II you are underpaid now you
will be adequately paid by and by. II
you are overpaid you will soon be out
Of a job"
The man who is continually seeking
higher pay, Irrespective of whether he
is earning II or not, sometimes gets It.
but he seldom keeps it.
He is selling himself short which, in
stock market language, means selling
something he hasn't got,
And as soon as his employer iiscov-
ers that he hasn't got 1t, there is a
change in the occupant of the posi-
ton.
Constantly men whose regulations
are not backed up by ability sell their
services to concerns for more than
they are worth.
Just as constantly these men are be-
ing invited to get Off the pavrolls thew
have been overlooking.
The best way TO decker for a raise
OF pay is TO make yourself so valuable
that the employer can not afford to
refuse you raise Of pay.
Continually trying to sell yourself
short will only earn you reputation
for chronic dissatisfaction. And If by
miracle you should get 1t, 1t will not
last very long,
Twenty years ago a newspaper pro-
prietor hired man from another
newspaper TO work for him.
What pay do you want?" he asked
when the man agreed TO come.
Half what you paid the man who
had the place before me-"
But that is ridiculous. You are
worth more"
Il think am, But / don't know.
And neither do you. If prove l am
worth more | will get it."
Within six months the new man was
getting twice as much as the former
employe.
Sell what ability you have for what
you know II is worth. Don't try in
advance, to get more Once you have
sold yourself short your clue is gone.
Employers are looking only for men
who can deliver.

POEM BY UNCLE JOHN
The OLDEST sErrLER.

Old Uncle Andy Higgins has inhab-
tied these diggins, accordin' to his
statements nearly ever since the flood.
He swum the old Mizzoury to evade
the petty jury when her highest bluff
was nothin' but little dab of mud.
He hears us fellers grumble, when
the weather takes a tumble, an never
calls a halt until she's twenty-nine
below.-but soon old Uncle Andy has
us feelin' fine-an- dandy, when he tells
us how they froze in squads, some
sixty years ago.
When summer-heat is feroest, an
coolin' breezes scarcest, old Uncle An
dy chuckles with his everlastin' grin.
And says, in his opinion. there's
mighty warm dominion where, chanc-
es is, the most Of us win likely floun-
der in.

THE uNRALANcEp WOMAN.

If she is unbalanced or unseated or
out of her place, what is the cause
Who is to blame? Who brought about
this change? There is but one answer.
Her GOD -decreed protector is to blame.
Man is wholly responsible. The federal
head Of the family is guilty.
Woman's place is home. Her throne
is the domestic circle. She didn't leave
1t of her own volition. She didn't sac
rifice her place voluntarily. Man is
wholly responsible for the unbalanced
condition of woman. He is the federal
head OF the family. 1t is his business
to provide and protect And 1t Is his
business to exercise the righteous dis
cipline necessary to a perfect home
and good government. He has ut
terly failed in these last two duties.
He has failed through indulgence, be-
cause OF lack of courage, sense Of
responsibility and a Willingness to
face his plain duty. He has practiced
Indulgence until he has made the wo-
man extremely extravagant.
The average girl hates work. de-
spises domestic responsibility, and is
criminally conspiring TO avoid those
high duties.
The man has neglected TO build the
home. to make II attractive and mag
netic. Consequently, the woman has
gone out into the world. Many OF them
