The fellow that never does anythin
Is the one that is always ready tC
find fault with what others do. and
to give advice. He is the wise guy,
that knows everything, and does any
thing, he is what is rightly called
knocker, his brains has sollred ON his
stomach but HE doesn't know 1t. He
hist imagines the world owse him a
living without doing anything. We
have just that kind of chaps here in
Payette and the strange part of It
Is they still hang around. If THEY
don't like the town, why don't they
get OUT and go some place else, but
II they did, they would find a town
jlsst as dead as this one.
Amy town is just what the people
make It, If you cannot find somethin
to do that sAlits you, do anything
but knock. Get busy, take swift
walk around the block and make
people think your time is worth
money, Don't stand arotlnd on the
STREET corner and expect job to
come to you. II job Is offered you
don't ask how much there Is In 1t,
lust take the job and see bow well
you can do 1t, you will always get
pay for what you do. Be booster
and the world will look brighter to-
YOU.
