VALUABLE ASSETS.
MR FORBES'S ADVICE. TRUSTWORTHY MEN WANTED. (Per Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 9. "The biggest part of your capital is your reputation; it is worth double the amount you have saved," declared the Prime Minister (the lit. Hon. G. W. Forbes) when speaking to boys in naming at Flock House. "I don't want the man with a long face about the place, either," added Mi- Forbes; "I want a cheerful man. If a man is sour and sullen half the pleasure is lost. A smile is an asset to you in your work, and no matter hoAV disagreeable your task, do it saying, 'l'll have a grin when it is finished.' The man I like is he who can smile when up against it.'-' The qualities that told, he said, were industriousness and cheerfulness. An employer also looked for a tidy man. No man with those three virtues had been unable to get on his feet. Farmers were always looking for good, reliable men who could carry out all their jobs. There was never enough of those men available, notwithstanding the many who were unemployed—men whom one could leave in charge and who could use their intelligence. They were not easy to get.
