The fact is that almost any reasonable ambition can be re alized. If you want any one thing hard enough and long enough you usually can get it in the end. Probably the great majority have a keen desire to increase their incomes. It is especially noticeable at this time of year. The trouble with only too many who have this particular wish is that their ambition instead of be ing a cold-blooded and ' absolutely ir revocable determination to make more money is only a vague, discontent or peevish talk about the "short sighted" employer who fails to recognize their highly superior talents. r Probably most employers are not only willing but are eager to pay all a man is worth. Of course, human judgments are fallible and sometimes merit does not got its full reward or even appreciation until, tired out, it seeks other fields. Usually, in fact, a man does not get all he is worth until he has proved for some time and keeps on proving that he is worth it. In most cases, though, employers are quite willing to show substantial ap preciation of superior attainments about as soon as they are plainly dem onstrated. Where most of those seeking a larg er income fail is in tne way they go about securing an increase. They want "more money" but aren't worry ing themselves about giving a higher quality of service. They get in a rut themselves and then complain because their salary stays in a rut. Instead of working dny and night to develop the efficiency that automatically calls La Grande National Bank Organized OBSUHJTATEIl DEPOSITORY OF UNITED STATES OOTERJiMEJIT.

(Continued rrom Page 1.) doom through a frivolous life and its heedless and wreckless living. He pictured in much detail the frivolity of life and the modern tendencies shown in the society events of large cities, and the imitations by the smaller ones. He compared modern practices of society with the happen isgs of pagan Rome and Greece, and held the mirror to men and women in which they might see their own image, Two masses were said this morn ing, both of which concluded with special prayers for the spiritually dead. The subject for tonights sermon will be: "Mortal sin the Greatest Evil. Tomorrow after the masses a short instruction will be given on the "Necessity of. Prayer.' In the even ing Father Brady will speak on the "Causes of the Incfficacy of Prayer." A powerful sermon, . "Man's Last Act, Death," is in store for the con gregation this , weekv which will be one of the strongest reminders of the week's mission. " 2 On Friday night ttie sermon will be exclusivelyt for women over 15 years of age. No men will be admit ted to the church on this evening, as the subject relates particularly to the problems of women. Father Brady is on his twelfth week of missions and owing to the fact that he is alone in the work and must deliver all of the sermons un aided, his voice is beginning to give way. : ' Your job printing.

Nearly all drinking men will not ad mit that he needs treatment for this disease until he gets down and out, and then he will try and find some remedy. The time to take treatment is when he first finds he cannot stop drinking. Nearly all drinking men say, they are going to quit themselves, they know tliey are last going down by ex-, warrants issued on the county, scalp cessive drinking and yet will proniisp :bounty and road funds, and endors their wife, mother or friend that they jed by the county treasurer not paid will quit it but how many men after for want of funds prior to March 20, once acquiring this disease do stop, ! themselves?
