To send a card asking for our catalog,
setting forth the advantages enjoyed by
the students who attend The State Nor
NAL at Indiana, and it may be the turning
point in the life of your son or daughter.
An education obtained in a good normal
school fits for life and business, as do
other schools, but its diploma has pc
culiar legal value that should not be
overlooked; it makes its possessor le-
galy qualified teacher in the State for
life.
None of us can look very far into the
future. Your daughter may not need to
teach now, and may lay her normal di-
poma away, ueyer intending to use it.
But some disaster later in life may make
it necessary for her to earn her living,
and that diploma would prove her most
valuable possession. Is it not best to be
educated in school whose diploma has
such value?
The Indiana State Normal was founded
by the General Assembly in 1871; it is
one of the best known schools of its kind
in the land, and the expense of attending
it is as low as can be found in any first

Big Sawmill for Sheffield.

The Observer gives the following ac-
count of the contemplated erection of an
extensive numbering plant in the town
of Shef1ield:
"During the past week corps of sur
veyors have heen running lines and
grades for the location of large saw mill
to be built at this place the coming sum-
mer by the Central Pennsylvania Lum-
ber Company. The plot of ground con-
tanning over one hundred acres on which
the ball park IS located has been secured
for the mill plant, and will be cleaned of
brush and railroad built to it as soon as
possible. From the officials of the COM
pany we learn that the plans include the
building of double band mill, with re-
saw, having a capacity of about fifty mil
lion feet of lumber per year. The build
proof as it is possible TO make it. The
machinery will be of the latest design
and the power will be electricity, each
machine having an individual or inde-
pendent dynamo. 1t will be the best
built and equipped mill in Pennsylvania.
The mill will give employment to at
least hundred men, and the plans in
clude the building of houses for their ac-
commodation. The company owns large
tracts of timber lands in this vicinity
enough it is estimated TO supply the pro-
| nosad m III with loOs for tiftaan or twenty
years. The company also owns the Il.
v. Ry., and the logs will be brought to
the mill by rail. Since this company
was formed and took over the timber in
terests of the tanning companies it has
been known that a large mill for Shelf
field was contemplated, and now we are
told that this town is to have the best
saw mill plant in the state, and as soon as
IL can be conveniently built.
