Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 154, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 July 1917 — Returns Home to Make Good His Contracts. [ARTICLE]

Returns Home to Make Good His Contracts.

Orvis Salrin, son of Trustee Salrin, who left some time ago, has returned and he and his father will complete the contracts he has for the construction of some stone roads in this county. Young Salrin became discouraged on account of the war and the possibility of loss on the contracts he had entered into and under this pressure he left without advising his father or any one else. He has returned with renewed courage and will stand by his guns like a man and he will have the hearty co-operation of his father. In his new resolution to go ahead in a manly way, young Salrin deserves and will have the appreciation of all. Too often the mistakes of young people are held up against them and it is very difficult under such circumstances for young fellows to overcome the effect of the knowledge that he is being looked down upon. There is, however, in Mr. Salrin’s case, and there should be in every such case, a disposition on the part of all to help a young fellow up and assist him to make good.
