there is no man in the neighborhood
who has had practical experience
enough to make 1t safe 10 trust the wort
to him, says Eben p. Rexford in the
Outing Magazine for June. He may
have good sense good Judgment am
all that-in short, there may be tho
making of a good road builder in him
but what you need is man who is a
good road builder, man who has got
the trade already learned. In other
words, you can't afford TO wait fol
homo talent to develop II tho man who
has developed his ability in that direc.

tax paid IN cash. Secure skilled

for the work he undertakes. II you do
this, you stand In fair way to soive
