The mantle of the late Mases P.

You will not nnd a model of the

esque member from Platte county in
the 1924 Stetson rtyle book. But
perhaps Edgar Howard chose this

his fathers were inclined to broad
brims as well as broad minds. Or.
perhaps because it is the style Bryan

wide brim complex is a hanc-over
from the pioneer days on the Ben
Telmen. Those were days when the
i now gentle mannered champion of
the people was known all over Dun
dy county as a very nervous man
with a Winchester. He tells of going
home one day for his gun when the
real killer among the cattle rustlers
had threatened to get him. His wife
was all concern. "Now, Edgar, you
cr.n shoot this fellow in the foot or
cripple him some way, but I am not
P,oing to have you kill him." said
Mrs. Howard. "But she wasn't con
cerned about my safety at all!" the
congressman plaintively added.
The conflict that confronts a man
who has two loves has been experi
enced by our democratic member who
lives on the Republican river at
Alma. Next to a political campaign,
Ashton C. Shallenberger loves Short

farewell to the roan beauties and ar

"Tell me pretty maiden, are there
any more at home like you?" asked
the reporter of MisBillie Dunn,
secretary to Congressman McLaugh

sisters were photographed for the
picture page of the Washington Star.
The Dunn sisters will soon rival the
Bryan brothers for getting Nebraska
on the front page, so many Washing

Fremont. Nebraska, should all be

classic sextette. Miss Billie confessed
that four sisters still remain on the
old homestead in Dodge county. But,
isn't there a mental hazard here,

picks up the paper to find the secre

STICK TO YOUR JOB,
SAY SUCCESSFUL MEN
The Changeable Han who Drifts from
Job to Job Does Not Attain the
Success that He Should.
"To what do you attrrbute your
success" is often put to a succesoful
business man. The answer i3 always
summarized in Iwo terse words,
"Hard work." Get his story and it
will be the c'd-fnshioned story of a
man who stuck to his job and moved
steadily upward. Conditions in thi
respect, as compared with a genera
tion ago, have changed. Many boys
of today do not "slick." There is
no permanency about their beginning
whether ofiice boys or clerks.
Something is wrong; wheti.er at
tributable to this age of jazz, movies
or lack of home influence,' is c ques
tion for .our reformers to wrestle
with; but the fact remains, that
many boys of today change jobs too
often. The "quitter" starts out like
!a winner with determination and
i punch; but as soon as he picks up
, a smattering of knowledge, he' hikes
out to capitalize what little he knows
at some new job, and keeps on chang
l ing jobs until some day he wakes up
land learns to his eorrow that his
"Jack of all Trades" knowledge is of
no worth or value to a first-class
i house. Furthermore in the whirl of
business opportunities he is never
considered for promotion.
Read the life of our most success
ful businef8 men and you will find
nothing spectacular about their pro
motion from beginnings as ordinary
"office boys." They merely pro
gressed upward as opportunity came
along. They stuck to their Jobs and
grew from the bottom up. Any young
man will go on up and keep going
up if he will stick to his job, work
hard and intelligently give the best
he has in him, taking hold of oppor
tunities as they present themselves.
Less of Jazz, Joy Riding and Mr.v
ies and more wholesome, old fashion
ed home life, with its fireside en
vironment, good books, interesting
games and good companionship were
never as essential for our boys as
now. The young man starting out in
business today needs words of en
couragement from home. He should
enjoy plentj' of play, but above all,
plenty of wholesome sleep to keep him
primed for hard work, for it is to be
remembered that the man who ar
rives, tired out, late on the job in
the morning, isn't of very much use
to himself or his firm. His chances
are lessened.
One often hears a good deal about
"iuck" in business. Such a thing does
not exist. The thing many people
call luck is merly opportunity. Op
portunity comes to every one; but it
comes quicker to the steady, hard
worker. His chances to seize it aro
better. Young man. pick your joh.
Don't pick too often. Stick to it. Wrap
your soul around your work; gain a
thorough knowledge of your busi
ness. Make your work an asset to
your house; educate yourself in your
line. A man's practical education
isn't gained in a classroom. It is gain
ed through experience; and that ex
perience can only be gained by close
application to duty and that duty
is to stick to your job and work.
Climb steadily the ladder of oppor
tunity and keep the ladder in. the
eame place as long as possible. Prac
tice safety first Watch your etep.
