If you axa looking for a job It may Interect you to hear what th« one quaUty which empkiyen the world over want moat.
It la agreeablenew.
Acraaabletwaa ia the diamond amonc vlrtuea, for tt la the most praoloua and the rarest oCaU.
It la worth money; for It aells mora real estate, cigars, crooertes, dry goods, automo¬ biles, typewriters, furniture, and Ufe insurance than any amount of smooth talk and convincing argumenta.
Just be pleaaant, and you can walk away with a contract right under the nose of the man who knows it aU.
Smile I Not onoe in a while, ao that you look like it hurt you when you force a grin. But get the habit. Smile to your- self when you're shaving. Then It wiU come natural when you uae it trying to seU a waahlng-machlne
Be agreeable I And you'U be tn demand. For In every waUc mt Ufe they are cryUtg for tne agreeable peraon.
Every wife wants that kUid td A husband, husbands that kind of a wife; children want agreeable parents, the work- man an agreeable bofs, the boss an agreeable workman, and everybody wants agree¬ able relatives.
We want agreeable hired girls, hotel clerks, motormen, policemen. Janitors. Ice-men, ushers, preachers, govemors, and bankers.
Come, be agreeable, for you win have little competition, and are pretty sure to succeed.
An agreeable person lights up the room like a lamp.
He is like the shade of a big tree on a hot day.
He Is like a drink of some¬ thing that tinkles in tlie pit¬ cher when you're real thirsty.
He is like love when you're lonesome, bed when you're tired, a breeze when you're stifling, food when you're emp¬ ty, and money when you're broke.
Be agreeable! Study to make people Uke you. Make tove to the world.
Life's a mix-up. anyway, that none of lu understand. There are all sorts of inexplicable thorns and tragedies, buffets and chagrins. And most people are a bit sorry for thenuelves. Hence, ugly.
But you—you be agreeable.
Try It. and see what happens.

Nazareth To Have New Post Office Building; Project To Cost $73,700
The citiaens of town are pleased to receive the glad news that they are to get a new Post Offlce building. Even tho some argue that such a project is not necessary, the major- ty feel It Is. At any rate. It is another long step toward improving Naz¬ areth. However, the extent of this Improvement, it is thought, will de¬ pend entirely on the location where this new building is to be erected.
Opinions expressed thus far favor our Circle or the Hall Athletic Field as the best location, with the Circle as the most favorable place. Just where the same will be erected Is not known as yet, but plans wUl be In the making in the near future and de¬ flnite information obUlnable

ARE ACTIVE
JR. HKH TO PRE¬ SENT COMEDY "DADDY LONG LEGS"
On November 23 and 24. at 8 o' clock, the Junior High School will present "Daddy Long Legs", a come- dy, by Jean Webster.
"Daddy Long Legs" concerns Judy Abbott, a foundling girl who rebels against the tyranny of the institu¬ tion in which she has grown from babyhood to adolescence. Her spirit¬ ed, but pathetc defiance of the ma¬ tron, is overheard by Jcvrvis Pendle¬ ton, a newly appointed trustee. He is a man who does good deeds, but has a positive horror of being found out. Pendleton admires the girl's declara¬ tion of independence and determines to give her the chance of her life that has been denied her. He ar¬ ranges to send her to a fashionable college for girls.
Athough she does not see her my- sterous guardan. she manages to catch a glimpse of his elongated sha¬ dow cast on the walls by the head- Ughts of his automobile and prompt¬ ly nicknames him "Daddy Long Legs "
When Judy arrives at college she begins to write him letters. They are humorous yet pathetic, because this is just the time she has been able to tell of her happiness, which seems to belong to her. A most en¬ joyable evening will be spent, review- infl! Judy's problems.
The cast is as follows:

While the above locations aeem to be favored, nevertheless, In other towns and cities, Post Office Build¬ ings are not always located in the crowded section of the towns, but are located in the less congested dis¬ tricts If this method be followed here there Is a big question as to where it may be erected. Be that as It may Nazareth is to have another new and modem building and it will improve the town no matter where located.
No doubt the department wlU fol¬ low the usual rustom by asking bids from local property ownera In the near future, after which the depart¬ ment wUl select a site most suitable to the Department and the citizens of Nazareth.

engineer for the Pennsylvania State Highway Department was the guest' speaker at the meeting of the Ro¬ tary Club held in the V. M. C. A. on Monday evening.
Mr. Buckius gave a brief resume of the progress made in taking over township roads in the preceding years and also meijtloned ths fact that recently enacted lesLslation provided a flxed .sum of $105 per mil? for maintenance for state improved roads to become eflective after Jan¬ uary 1, 1934. This arrangement pro¬ vides for the taking over of town¬ ship roads on the above basis per mile, irrespective of the Importance of the roads taken over, this amount t>eing flxed so that large townships will necessitate the expenditure ot a large amount of money in direct pro¬ portion to thc road mileage. The speaker stated that it is important that no change be made in the pres¬ ent allotlng of funds received for motor vehicle licenses and operat¬ ing licenses as the entire amount Is being and has been expended In road Improvements. In 1931, 233 miles of road were taken over in this county and since that time 141 additional miles have been added. Of the lat¬ ter amount 66'i miles had been im¬ proved roads when taken over leav¬ ing approximately the balance to be Improved although only 28 actual niilos were taken over tliat were entirely unimproved. Tlie township road act efTective January 1. 1934 will add 53.000 road miles to the present state highway system.
Other guests present were Alviii Sloan. Clark Willever and Reuben Steven of Washington. N. J. and E, H. Meglathery of Bethlehem. The birthday flower was presented to a.ssistant district attoniey William Prack of the local club. H. P. Yeisley led the singing with Charles Hess at the piano.
