bodily. 1t offers for sale 100000 shares
of mining property in the northwest,
''proven to contain $50, 1000, 900 in recov-
cradle gold values" This stock is pro-
fessediy offered by "a syndicate COM
posed mainly of national and savings
bank and trust company officials" and
further attempt to give it respectable
ity is found in the statement that re-
mittances for stock purchases may be
made to a we'll known New York trust
company With these two attributes
of the dazzling opportunity" Golfers
finds especial fault. 1t says:
eve are not sure of the law but we
hope there is some way by which the
trust company can prevent the use OF
its name behind an advertisement stat
ing that national and savings banks Of
ficialS are promoting scheme which
turns get.rich-quick enterprises into icy
conservatism.
Did it ever occur to those who are
tempted to invest their hard earnings
and savings in such glittering schemes,
that if dividends of 25 per cent are as
sured from the first years operation on
the company's entire capitalization,
and thereafter as high as and possibly
more than 50 per cent per annum,"
there would be no need to advertise, as
such stock would be taken up at once,
with the many millions available that
are drawing only 4 or per cent.
The Belfast Journal, in speaking of
the various occupations pursued by
boys and girls says: ga college educa-
ton is now within the reach of every
/ boy of average intelligence and am
biton. The free High schools fit the
boys and girls for college, and hundreds
of Maine boys have worked their way
through college" by teaching school
part of the year or availing themselves
! Of the many other employments open
to themt!" Yes, and we have noticed
that the boy who has thus put himself
through college, comes out better equip
ped for life's duties and responsibilities
than boy who has been carried through
on a greenback wave.-SOmerset Re
porter.
A recent personal letter confirms the
statement of the Somerset Reporter.
1t mentions a rich man who has two
sons, to whom he has given good edu-
cations, but who show no inclination
or aptitude for business. Another man,
! worth half million, has son who on
| graduating from the High school put
on overhauls and taking his dinner pail
went to work in the factory. He work.
ed first with the Jumpers on the wharf,
later becoming the foreman, gradually
working his way through every depart
ment and learning the. business thor
oughly. The father is now able to
leave his affairs entirely in the hands of
that boy There are many such cases. We
have in mind a prominent lawyer, also
prominent in politics, who paid his way
through college by playing base ball in
vacation, driving truck team, ETC.,
declining the aid he might have had.
Another prominent lawyer, whose par,
ents were well-to-do, worked at boxing
stone in granite quarries down the bay
and paid his own way through Bowdoin
college. The boy who starts in to work
his way through college demonstrates
then that he possesses the qualities
that ensure success in life.
