Everybody Needs A knowledge OF
Bookkeeping and Business.

The banker and the merchant have
to have it; their wives, as well as 9th
err mems wives, need it, for if the hus-
band dies, who will look after their
business interests? Every woman
should have sufficient business edu-
cation to enable her to look after her
household duties in a business and
practical manner. The farmer needs
this training just as much as the mer-
chant or banker. 1t is true he has
not been using it as much as they;
this Is just the reason he does not hold
a more important place in the COM
mercial world today. The farmers
are in the majority, they have right
to hold ruling hand of power, but
before they can do it, they will have
to learn to keep accounts of their en-
tire business, their various crops Or
fields, their labor, machinery, stock,
the sale of product etc They will
have to learn to think carefully, to
plan and look closely after all bust
ness affairs pertaining to their occu-
patton. There is no man more in need
OF practical education, such as is
given by the Tyler Commercial Col
lege of Tyler, Texas, than the farmer.
We are glad to note that the farmers
are beginning to realize their cOndi-
ton, and the necessity of business
education. A number of young men
are with them at the present for the
sole purpose of qualifying themselves
to make greater success on the farm.
They will make leaders in their com
munity and honored citizens long to
be remembered.
The Tyler Commercial College is
the most widely known, most practical
modern, thorough, business training
school and college of shorthand and
biography in this country.

Insinuations and innuendo indicate
that there is feeling that the Hall
medal won last month by Mr.. Kcontz
may not have been fairly won.
If later reports from st. Joseph verify
the report which Mr. Koontz himself
has brought back concerning the game
he participated in yesterday, it viii go
a long way towards setting at rest the
doubts which have become lodged in
the minds of some as to the award of
the medal last month.
The skeptical ones have been porting
to the fact that Mr. Konntz had with
him to score his game no one else but
J. c. Burnett division freight agent of
the Santa F'e who is quite adept at the
game and who has been coaching his
superior officer
Mr.. Koontz has always maintained a
