Newspaper Page TextHEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1930. PAGE THREE ft BRUCrBARTOM A Letter to a Young Man You ask me how you can get a better job. My answer is that you can't All over the country are millions of young men who, in a vague sort of way, want a better Job: and here and there among them are the worth-while few who want the bet ter job. And the millions wonder why the few move on, while they stand sta tionary year after year. You must, first of all, pick out the better job some particular job that is better than yours. Then train your guns on that and capture it. You tell me that you are a book keeper and that you ear $25 a week. I know certified public account ants who earn $10,000 a year and more. If I were a bookkeeper earning $25 a week, I should go out for a public accountant's job. I might die on the road, but whoever found my body would notice that my face was toward the summit. Second: You can never make any body pay you more money until you have more to sell. I can advertise in a newspaper tomorrow morning and have a hun dred bright young men here at eight o'clock. Each one will have just as much to offer me as you have; the same two years of high school; the same experience in keeping books, the same good record. Every one of them will be willing to work for $25, and some of them for $18. The only way you can lift your self out of that $25 class is by giv ing yourself an equipment that the rest of the fellows in that class do not have. In other words, by study by education by specialized training. Third: When you have picked out the one particular better job that you want, when you have fitted yourself for it then be careful of your letter of application. Your letter is your representa tive. For heaven's sake, if you have in you any spark of originality that other men have not, make your let ter a tiny bit different from the other letters that the other men will write. Fourth: I receive many letters of application. In one form or an other, they usually say something like this: "I want a better job: I am thinking of getting married"; or, "I have a mother to support"; or, "I have been three years in this place wtihout a raise and see no fu ture." All of which interests me not at all. The only letter that I read with interest is the letter of the young man who has studied my business and who points out to me how I can make more money for my em ployer by employing him. Ideas are the keys that unlock big men's doors. When you have fitted yourself for the better job, let your letter of application contain an idea. FRANK PARKER S STOCKBRIP6E MURDER One person out of every ten thou sand is murdered every year in the United States. That does not mean that your chance of not being mur dered is only ten thousand to one. For the ordinary peaceable citizen the chance is nearer a million to one that he will die at the hands of a murderer. Most of the murderers' victims are themselves potential murderers. In probably half of the killings it is a question of which criminal got the drop on the other. I lived several years in Chicago, many years in New York. My work as a newspaper man took me Into the most dangerous parts of both cities at all hours of the night. I never felt the need of carrying a weapon and I never knew of any body not a crook, who was sober, unarmed, and not displaying signs of wealth to tempt a footpad or a burglar, being murdered except by some crazy man, which might have happened anywhere. PROPHETS The voice of the prophet is still heard in the land, but it is the voice of the scientific research worker dis rtupptntr npw nrocesses which will revolutionize some Industry, and of the trade commissioner reporting these new developments to manu facturers. A short time ago one of the Gov ernment's trade commissioners re ported from Berlin that German chemists had found a new and cheap way to make methanol, usu ally called "wood alcohol." The De partment of Commerce broadcast that news to every producer of me thanol in America. Only one paid any attention; he sent a man to Germany to find out more about It. The others sat tight until, a few months later a shipload of the new German methanol arrived In New York, to be sold at less than the American cost of production. Then the manufacturers demanded to know why they had not been told. They simply had not listened. All of the old plants ior mamng methanol had to be scrapped and new ones constructed to make it by the new process, and the man who had listened to the prophets was the first American in the field with cheap methanol. MOON The hottest object anywhere near the Earth is the Moon. Also it is the coldest. Observers using the 100-inch telescope on Mount Wilson have been mesauring the moon's temperature for a year. They re port that the parts of the moon on which the sun shines are hotter than boiling water, and the side away from the sun Is at least 254 degrees below zero. The reason for this is that the moon Is a dry, dead mass of cooled off lava, or melted rock. It has no water, no vegetation, no life, noth ing to make clouds to temper the rays of the sun. If It were not for water vapor In the earth's atmos tho,o wn nnuld not live on It. The blanket of vapor keeps the heat from the sun from burning us up in the daytime, prevents that heat from escaping at nigni. One way astronomers can tell urkothnr nthor nlnnctfl than ours are probably inhabited or not Is by studying their atmospnere tnrougn their great telescopes. The only one nn which It seems possible for life as we know it to exist is Mars. When the new 200-inch telescope is finished we shall probably get some evidence as to the population of Mars. SPERRY Elmer Sperry, inventor, has just retried from business at 72. He prob ably will keep on inventing. He built the first electric lighting sta tion in the world, using arc lights, before Edison invented the incan descent bulb. He invented the mod ern electric coal-mining machinery. He made the first electric automo bile. He invented a process for ex tracting chlorine and alkali from common salt which forms the basis of one of the great electric power industries at Niagara Falls. He dis covered a way of reclaiming tin from old tin cans, founding a busi ness which buys tin scraps from the can factories, removes the tin and sells it to silk manufacturers to weight their goods and melts up the iron plates into window-sash weights. He invented and built up the most powerful searchlight in the world, giving off more candlepower per square inch of surface than the sun itself, and now used by every army and navy in the world. Speiry is best known as the In ventor of "Metal Mike," the auto matic steersman for ships, utilizing the mysterious principle of the gy roscope. He invented the gyroscop ic compass, the gyroscopic stabili zer for ships and airplanes. One of his recent inventions tells railroad men whether there are any hidden flaws in their rails. His latest Is a light weight Diesel type engine for airplanes. Only Edison has produc ed more useful inventions than El mer Sperry. W. C. T. U. NOTES MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter. TALK TO THE CONDUCTORS. Mr. J. B. Mills, writing in the Christian Herald, says: One day while on his way to a Baptist Association in the southwes tern part of the state several men began talking about the failure of prohibition. The conductor said to the one who was talking the loud est: "So you are opposed to prohibi tion?" "Yes," was the reply. Then the conductor Baid: "If you were a railroad conductor you wouldn't be. For years I have been conductor on this local out of Birmingham and on Saturday af ternoons in the old days when li quor was sold there we seldom had a trip without half a dozen or more fights. There was frequent shooting of revolvers and it was not safe for ladies to travel. The evenings after pay days were the worst. We had a standing order for the police to be at the first few stations out, to arrest drunks. We had numbers of drunken people, both men and wo men, on almost every trip. Since prohibition, I don't know when I have had a drunken person on my train. And if you were a conductor in a mining section you would most certainly favor prohibition. I don't know of a conductor on the road who Is not for it" SPORTSMANSHIP. "The friends of prohibition sub mitted to the license system when it was law until they persuaded the country to abandon it No convic tion is wrong in principle runs deep tion is wrong nl principle runs deep er than did ours that license to make and sell intoxicating drink violates the laws of God and offends the conscience of man. We submit ted to the law which we believed to be unwise and wrong. Under similar circumstnaces the foes of prohibition violate and seek to null ify the law of the land."

Tull, newly appointed extension specialist in marketing at Oregon State college, has arrived from his former position in Mem phis, Tennessee, and has already started actively in the work of this state. He will probably make the tour of northwestern Oregon with the dairy demonstration train, thereby becoming more familiar with the state and its resources. He was formerly manager of a success ful cooperative milk producers' co operative in Memphis. B"or Sale One bassinet, 1 baby bed. Mrs. Lillie Aiken, Heppner. LOW FARES EAST EFFECTIVE MAY XX TO SEPT.

Here are some good recipes for fritters for any one of the three meals. Peach Fritters Dip halved canned peaches in sweetened fritter batter and then fry them in deep fat Drain them thoroughly on brown paper, roll them in powdered sugar and serve them hot. Cheese Fritters Add grated cheese to fritter bat ter, drop by spoonfuls into the hot fat, drain on soft paper and serve with a little grated cheese sprinkled over each. Apple Fritters Pare and core several apples. Cut crosswise in thin slices so each will be doughnut shaped. Dip in lemon juice and then sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Fin ally dip in the usual fritter batter and fry quickly in hot fat Sprinkle with powdered sugar Just as served. Banana Fritters Bananas should be cut in round slices about an inch thick; or, they may be cut in halves and split Dip in fritter batter and fry. Orange Fritters Peel two oranges and separate in to sections. Make an opening in each section just large enough to admit of passage for seeds, which should be removed. Dip sections into batter and fry in deep fat Drain and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot with orange sauce. Pimiento Fritters Drain canned pimientos and wipe as dry as possible. Insert In each a small slice of American cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Saute in butter, first one side and then on the other until thoroughly heated and cheese begins to melt Serve on squares of buttered toast, garnished with pars ley. Or dip in batter, and fry in deep fat For Sale Combination Majestic range and household goods. F. B. Nlckerson, Heppner. lOtf. Reliable party to care for chil dren afternoons and evenings.

A slice of orange makes an excel lent cleaner for patent leather. A soft cloth is used to polish It when dry. Much more satisfactory results are obtained by using borax water rather than starch for stiffening voiles, dimity and other sheer, fine material. Barring accidents, tablecloths us ually show the first signs of wear along the creases in which they are habitually folded. When this oc curs, an inch may be cut from one end and one side of the cloth and the edges reflnlshed. This will bring all of the creases In new places. A convenient flower holder may be made from a six-inch square of galvanized netting, of quarter Inch mesh. The corners are turned down for feet, and the flower stems thrust through the openings. It may be painted green or the color of the flower bowl. For long stemmed flowers, a slightly smaller square may be placed on top of the first and the stems of the flowers passed through both. Buttonholes which are to be sub jected to considerable strain may be strengthened by outlining with a row of machine stitching before they are cut and worked. Their intended position may be marked with a pencil to serve as a guide In stitching. Chevrolet dealers offer you an exceptional used car purchase service because they work under a uniform factory plan that makes used cars as important a part of their business as new cars.
