The Trained Man

Nearly everyone has ambition to make the
most money in the least possible time and it is wish
that does credit to Money necessary for life in
civilized countries. 1t buys food, clothing, shelter,
uxuries and pleasures its proper surrounds with
happiness and health. We have to believe that
the money possess the more worldly comforts
may enjoy. 1t helps on the road to promotion,
honor and position. Its proper makes strong.
The question is: HOW CAN GET IT?
Look about and count the successful men in your
neighborhood, your city, OF MEANS of position of
trust Look up their early fe their training their
work. Did many of them spend long years in SCHOOL,
Did they idle away days, weeks and months simply
wishing for what they now have? You will find these
men to be men Of business, whose wits have been
sharpened by daily contact with the world who have
srven to give value for value to render service for
which the world is willing to pay. They started with
a common school education and served their appren-
tceship with some business firm. The years following
their early life were full of HARD WORK, ECON
OMY and SELF-DENIAL.
They are the men who have raised business to the
level of profession for today tits considered such.
To enter any profession must be trained it is the
same in business. The trained business man wins.
At the present time business firms wish to employ
trained help only, young men and women who can
DO their work well from the DAY they enter their en-
ploy.
You ask, 'Where do they get their help?" From
schools that train young and for the pro-
fession Of business and these schools called bust
ness and commercial colleges. There the ambitious
young or woman training that will en-
able him to enter the great profession which offers
boundless opportunities and the greatest rewards. Bus
mess offers you WEALTH, HONOR, POSITION, ,
TRUST and HAPPINESS, everything that is worthy
of attainment. -: j.

Every year business is growing still greater, de-
handing more and more trained help. This demand
must be satisfied By young men and women who can
do the few things we'll that business men ask of their

today are accounts, shorthand typew1tng The keep

This statement was made by Gov.

advocated number of reforms which
the state might bring about.
If the law were made stricter and
certain standards for oil established

Boiler inspection could also be i'm

dealers al Grand Marais, one of the
points at which the illegal trade is

Three officers arrived at that village,
which is located on the north shore of
Lake Superior in Cook county, about
Nov. l. Aided by residents of the
town who had entered complaints, evil
dence against the places selling to In

were called to the court house and
confronted with the evidence.
Instead of starting the prosecution,
the special officers presented a COM

the dealers not to sell intoXicants to
the Indians or to allow Indians in their
saloons or barrooms and to Immediate
ly give information against any person
doing so.
The signatures of every saloonkeep-

Secretary Wilson was asked if west.

There Is too much truth in those

He has money in his pockets and big
crops continue to come on. He is
afraid to invest in eastern securities
