There would at least be nothing

Civility is most lacking in public
with strangers while travelling. Most
people are afraid not to be civil with
people they know, which proves that
they really understand how well civil
ity is estimated.
But to strangers that will snarl or
snap, merely because thye happen
to be out of humor, and very often,
when they find that the stranger later
may come into their lives, they are
ashamed of themselves.
Civility will not get you a job,
or keep you in a job you have got.
Other qualities, such as intelligence,
and industry, are needed for that.
But it will help you get job, and
it will help you keep job. And to
the man who still awaits an oppor-
tunity to show that he is capable of
valuable work, it is priceless.--Na-

IT PAYS TO BE CIVIL

Anything you can get for nothing
and dispose of for a price is valuable.
Civility is such commodity.
Think what the civility of others
means to you and you will begin to
understand what your civility means
to others.
Then you will employ it little
more often and get results with it.
Suppose on railroad trip you walk
through car seeking seat.
To the occupant of one of them you
say, "Is this seat taken?"
He looks up, stares at you, then
points to grip which he had placed
beside him to hold the seat as long
as possible.
Suppose that man applied to you for
a job the following day. Would you
give it to him?
Imagine yourself walking a little
further along the aisle. To another
man you say, "Is this seat taken?"
NO." he says politely, and moves
over to give you room. He does not

MES announced cuts of 1 10 > cents
a gallon in the tank wagon price

ductions of cent gallon in the
tank wagon price of gasoline were
