club owns 10 acres Of land. The new bonds have
been subscribed, and the work will be started at
once. the enlargement OF the house and the plan
to issue bonds opposed by two or three of the
older members. who spoke against making any i'm
provements except by raising the dues but this
opinion had little support. The members generally
the folly of increasing yearly dues in order to
enlarge the clubhouse, as this plan would mean an
unnecessarily large income another year
1t was recognized that the only sound financial
policy is to keep the dues down to amount sufff-
cient for yearly operation. raising money for per-
msnent improvements by bonds amply secured by
the value of the clubs property. AS the mortgage
will provide for the redemption Of 81, 900 of bonds

The Kind Of Man For Whom There Is
Big Demand.
"I am looking for a clerk, a man
with a personality, man who can dc
things and increase my business. Mon
ey is no item. l will not take salary
into consideration. l will pay 500.
S12j or whatever he is worth. l want
the man." That is what a successful
merchant said some days ago.
Let us pay our respects to the mer-
chant who Is looking for a clerk of
this kind. A good clerk deserves a
good salary and usually gets it. This
matter of good pay for good services
is the basic principle Of the rela
tions between employer and employee
While all merchants are not willing TO
pay enough salary to their clerks
there are more merchants who are
glad to pay all clerk is worth than
there are clerks who are glad to be
worth all they are paid.
Every village, town and city is look
ing for the man who can increase
business" The man who will work
for the interests Of his employer is
wanted the world over. The world Of
business IS crying out for such men
for men whom it can trust and in
whom It can place confidence that a
thing will be done when the "boss' -
back is turned This man is wanted
in every store, factory. at every post
and in every great business in the land.
If you are attempting TO avoid re
sponsibility and as much work as pos
sible you will, unless by great mistake
escape promotion or increase in salary.
There are two kinds Of clerks. and
only two kinds. One the entire bust
ness world is anxiously searching for.
and the other the entire business
world is anxlously waiting to get rid

While looking about me an unfortu

small ledge on which I had stood wheI
