Employers usually do not feel it in cumbent on them to advise employ e how to be happy, yet certainly it is to the interest of employers to see that so far as possible subordinates are happy. A happy force of workers necessarily is not a sullen, rebellious force, at cross purposes with the world themselves and the employing corpor ation. It is, on the other hand, a force which because it is happy can be expected to turn to the develop ment of efficiency the energy that oth erwise might be wasted in grumbling and envy. The Illinois Central breaks away from the routine by promulgating cer tain rules for happiness. It advises employes to "live complacently and avoid worry." This, while easier to preach than to practice, is sound coun sel. The serene, even tempered man is much more likely to attain some thing worth while than the one who is in a constant ferment because he does not like this or that man, this or that ruling of his employers, this or that accepted custom. In any rivalry be tween two men, one of whom is broad minded simple in his tastes and toler ant of the faults and frailties of oth ers, the other of whom is bitter, nar row and unduly wrought up over the lack of perfection in his fellows, the former will win. Serenity is a reser voir of strength as well as a.reser- v iaai1 nor lira VUII Vi, UVU IIBVU1VI "Cultivate the art of living with yourself as you are and the world as it is." This does not menn-vthat a man or a woman should not be am bitious to improve both themselves and the world. It means rather that .we should not be captiously critical of our own lack of absolute perfection and the general failure of the world to fulfill the highest ideals. After all, ' humanity in its essentials changes on ly by gradual and. slow steps. You quarrel with human nature a$ we find ' it does not aid in the general race improvement That is why the wisest and deepest are the most tolerant The railroud advises men to "like their jobs". If a man does not like his job he should find one he can ' like. "Absorption in one's tasks' helps An Ohio man claims to have pro duced an odorless onion. How then will your friends know what a good dinner you have had. When a man begins to relate the story of his life to us we immediately get interested in the price of coal and other important things. . THE MAN WHO WINS. By Errol Ludiker. The man who wins is an average man; Not built on any peculiar plan, Not blessed with any particular luck; Just steady1 and earnest and full of pluck. . When aBked a question he 'does not "guess" He knows and answers "no" or "yes;" When set a task that the rest can't do, He buckles .in till he's put it through. Three things he's learned; that man . j who tries , Finds fayor in his employer's eyes; That it pays to know more thun one thing well; , ' That it doesn't pay all he knows to tell. So he works' and waits; till one fine . day ' - There's a better job with bigger pay; Arid the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the man whose work made good. For the man who wins is the man who works, ' Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes; The man who wins is the man who tries. ' (All rights reserved.)

He is grouchy and slow when work begins; ' When it's time to quit, he jokes and irrins. He's always as busy as busy can be When he thinks the boss is around to La Grande National Bank Organized in 1887. Mr. Blancher had another year to serve.

Mayor Blancher to Resign. Hood River, Or., Oct 6. E. O. Blan cher, cashier of the First National bank, who has served one year as may or, has tendered his resignation as If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bronchitis nnd pneumonia use cough medicines that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is needed. That' cleans out the culture beds or breeding places' for the germs of pneumonia and other gernj diseases. That is why pneumonia never results from a cold when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has. a world wide reputation for its cures. It contains no morphine or other sedative.
