A TIP TO THE BOYS

Boys here Is . tip worth reading.
Parents-see that your boy read
this-or read il to him.
Boys-when you want job 80 ask
for 1t yourself.
Don't ask your father or mother or
anybody else to do It for you-
The man who has job to give to
boy wants to talk to the boy himself.
He wants to see the boy alone. He
wants to know what kind Of stuff Is
IN the boy and to hear the boys own
story.
A man who employs boys can tell
more about 9 boy In five minute
taikwith the boy alone than he can
find out in an hours talk With his
father or mother. In fact. he can't
find out much Of anything from the
parent. for all parents are pretty apt
70 think mighty well OF their boys
and think them capable Of filling any
position under heaven-if somebody
else pays the wage.
One OF the elements OF success In
life Is the ability TO apply for a job
end get it. And the manner Of apply
ing for a job has much to do with get
ting H.
We have heard story OF man
who put out sign boy Wanted
The next day a boy came walking up
TO the desk In the back part Of the
store carrying the sign. The boss
raid. Here boy. what are you do
ing with that sign
well sir" the hoy replied. Il am
the boy you wanted
He got the job and made good ne
had the stuff in him and the nerve.
You boys say 1t takes nerve to ap-
ply for a job Sure il does. And Il
takes nerve TO fiji most any position
these days that is worth having
Nerve ls n mighty good thing to have
Persistency Ia a good thing to have
ZOO su-ine-- men IKE 70 see per-
slstcney. Don't BE- afraid To talk up
for yourself. Il you know you can do
the work don't De afraid TO say 20 and
tell the reasons Why.
And don't be afraid to 70 seeond
time or a third. II you know you can
ni a position you want. keep after II.
A good boy can get any position he
wants, ~ he is fully capable and II he
keeps after II persistenily.
Thaekery says In one Of his books
"A woman can marry man she
wants n she only knows her power.

II would amount to only about one
fourteenth of one mill on the tax. But
II does not. for a very considerable
portion Is paid by the people who
permit their property 20 be advertised
for sale In the delinquent tax list
So IL one Is big enough TO look at
the county as a whole and at all sides
OF the question one must conclude
that the commissioners have acted
wisely In this matter.
In addition to all this service con-
traeted for the several newspapers
have magnanimously agreed that il
the Leader wishes TO come in and pub
lish the delinquent tax list next fall.
II may do so and receive its just pro-
portion OF the amount paid for this
service This would give this pub
licity through every paper in the
county
