TWO MEXICO YOUTHS
START IN BUSINESS

Mexico has two youths under 16
years of age who are developing in
to business men of ability and hus-
tie. Mintern Bragg, son of DR.,
Kelly Bragg, and Orlando Wor-
rell, son of R. D. Worrell, are the
lads and each is in business for
himself. They both handle every bit
of business from the drawing OF
checks for paying bills to the ac'
tual work contingent to the enter
prise they are interested in.
For several years Orlando Wor-
rell has raised fine chickens, He not
only makes the business a paying
one, but in 1908 carried a yearly ad-
vertising contract with the Ledger
for his chickens and setting of eggs.
He has prospered, and though start
ing with but a few fowls he has now
several hundred regardless of the
recent depredations OF thieves IL
his hen houses.
Mintern Bragg purchased a COW
last November and is now selling
the milk to his father. He has his
own bank account which he attends
to himself. He cares for the ANNA
and sees to all feed bills, learning
to economic where 1t is necessary
Shortly he expects to materially en-
nance his steadily growing capita
with the sale of veal.
