OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG MEN
AND BOYS.
(Grundy, Democracy

There are several good positions
open in this county for boys and young
men from 16 to 81. There are plenty
Of boys who want the places but they
are short in most qualifications except
the one of age. 1t takes more than age
to make a man or boy to fill the bill IN
any job whether it be big or small
In looking over a list of young can
didates the disqualifcations that are
the most marked in the most of them
are their habits and lacking OF the
right spirit of industry.
The business that is looking for a
boy does not want one with $40 week
habits on a So per week salary He
wouldn't be safe. The boy who each
day must have a diagram made OF
what he must do is too expensive. lie
needs another to show him the way
when he should find it himself. The
business man who sees young man
dron his broom when the quitting
whistle blows knows that he has q
young- man on his hands who is work
ing for himself only and whose only
interest in the business is in the pay
check that is expected Saturday nights
He gets his deserts when he gets fired
and he leaves but a tiny gap when he
is gone.
The young men whose habits are
safe and sane and who are ever ready
to make themselves useful, have never
before had such good opportunities as
they have now. There isn't town IN
Iowa where there are not one or two
good openings for one Of these. II this
paper could promise to deliver hun
dred of the right kind of young men or
hovs it could dispose of them as fast
as calls could be registered
Good opportunities are waiting for
all good young men and boys VINO afe
