"Well," said Jimmie, IL was down to

was surprised To see how straight they
stood~and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni

hard as nails. heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy In the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you

Uncle Dan replied: II have a
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference ;
he says 1t pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
| carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
of intensive military training would
add at least 20 per cent to a mans
