THE BOY IN DEMAND

Exchal ge: One of the most Valu- able qualities in a workman is the ability to See what needs to be done and does it without being told. It is a rare thing for employees in either office or workshop to do things that need to be done without being told, l. g., to do the little extra jobs. Young men working their way through college will be invaluable if they cultivate this quality. Book learning, scholastic training and mental development generally are, of course, valuable in any line of business today, but thougthfulness and tnoroughness are essential all the time and everywhere. A tool Is left out of it's place, a book has fallen to the floor, a pane of glass is loose, or something trivial needs at tention. The boy who attends to such things habitually and instinct lively, not because he is ordered, but because they need attending, is the boy who is going to be in de- maud when he goes out into the world, anC he is the one whose job will be safe and for whom promo ton will always be waiting. It is this habit of observation, attention to little things, that makes some men and women exceedingly useful. For such there will always be a position and a call to take the high CT job. In the coming days of re- construction and reaGjustment such men need fear no competition.

THE LAST DRIVE

 One more big job to pay for the yicfory-or the immediate demands Of victory-and Liberty Loans will be history.
 There must be no tagging Dy the American people in the drive that will come in April. It will not be 8 time for excuses.
 The same spirit that character ized the last hour of fighting before the armistice went into effect should be shown by the stay-at- homes for whom the Yanks fought in France.
 Here is the official report of op- erations in those last few hours of the war:
 The 3rd Division advanced 3 kuometers east of Breheyille. De spite increased resistance by ma chire gun and artillery fire the 5th Division continued to advance, cap turing Is prisoners, 3 large calibre guns, 6 minenwerfers and con siderable material. In accordance with the terms of the armistic hos tEi'ies on the front of the American armies ceased at Il a. m."
 The Tanks didn't shirk that last jcr. Many gave their lives with peace q matter of minutes away. Every American at home worth the victory won by those boys in khaki viii work as hard in the coming loan as in the first.

BOYS NOT BROKE

 One Red Cross officer who has been here from London changing ths money of the soldiers from pounds to dollars, in order that they may have the currency of their own money when they reach America, says:
 q have changed the money of some thousands of men and not one of them had less than two months pay to take home with him. Some of them had as much as $1O0 while here and there was an especially thrifty fellow with S125.
