 The remainder of the interview was like that.

 In my own line of work, I have doz- ems of people wanting the job of help ing me. and I always ask, do you know what I do but they are certain they can help. They have not thought out a direct object to work for they want somebody to teach them, and everybody is not born a teacher. To many of us it is a heap easier to do things our selves than to teach somebody else.
 This eternal want of fitness to do things has killed much progress, caused more worry, and broken up more homes than any one cause in the universe. Half the world needs to do something for themselves, but how? They have not thought, have not trained, and are catching at "a posi- tion." and can they fill it.

HERE IS A BOY DESTINED
 FOR A BUSINESS CAREER
Joe Borders Who Delivers Papers In Woodlawn Has Saved Enough Money From His Earnings As Carrier to Buy Mule-Personally Acquainted
 With Every Subscriber On Route
By ELLIS c. HOLLUMS

For shrewd financiering. good business judgment and habits of thrift there is no boy on the face of the earth who can show a better record than Joe Borders, an Age-Herald carrier boy, who delivers the paper to residents of Woodawn. Joe. like all boys of 15 or IS (he is 16) years old. plays baseball, basketball, football and all the other games boys play and enjoys them. But with all his athletic activity he finds time to do lots of haul ing for residents of Woodlawn and he owns a mule which he bought and paid for from his earnings carrying The Age Herald.
 Joe averages s a week hauling for people in Woodlawn. His mule also serves him every morning, when he is de- livering The Age Herald to his clients" He is personally acquainted with every subscriber on his route and takes pride In seeing to 1t that they get their paper every morning, regardless of weather conditions or anything else. There is no excuse good enough for his subscrib- CTS, he believes, and with this in mind, he does not give them a chance to de- mand an explanation.
 Joe says If he owned The Age-Herald he would increase the size of the Mon day issue and go after circulation with every possible plan that would help get new ones.
 For Joe's information and the informa- ton of others who might have won dered, there is not as much news to be had on Sunday as on other days of the week. The Monday Age-Herald carries all the news there is. When the volume of news increases Sunday the size of the Monday Age-Herald will be en- larged sufficiently to accommodate it. Joe is helping us to carry out his second sug- gestion of increa sing the circulation and he is doing excellent work. A boy that knows every subscriber on his route is of

front This island was selected by
the original inhabitants for it's nat
ural beauty.
Giant oaks, beautiful palms and
wild orange tres are found upon many
of the lots in this property. These
trees have been growing upon the
island for years and are worth thou
sands of dollars to this property.
Millions of cubic feet of soil have
been dredged from the channel of the
Halifax and fill made to connect
the island with the mainland. This
work was done by the Trumbo Dredg
ing company. the same firm that
made the fill for Royal Park, which
is now the choicest residence prop
erty at Palm Beach. S. II. Cove,
contractor of this city. has built a
home on Orange Island Park, which
embodies many original ideas and IS
one of the most convenient to be
found in this section of the state.
The architecture is along the lines of
the Spanish mission" and it will be
well worth your time to drive through
this beautiful subdivision in order to
view the Cove residence which is ar
tistically designed to blend with the
natural conditions to be found in
Orange Island Park.
Orange Island Park is inside the
city limits of Daytona, and adjoins
the business section at North Beach

causeway of Central bridge This
property lies along the regular boat
channel of the Halifax river and there
is from 20 to 2S feet of deep water
within a few feet of the coquina rock

opened to homebuilders and investors

Remember This Motto,

George Stevenson was a man who
accomplished very much during his
lifetime. The motto which he had
adopted and followed is credited with
having had much to do with it. This
motto was, Make the best of every.
thing. think the best of everybody,
hope the best for yourself" Such a
motto means optimism. charity and
ambition-all of these in their highest
character and in their fullest mani.
festation. 1t is motto well worth
