 Dear Prof. Wo3tton:
 "Iu ans Yer | yours received yesterday, will say, 1t was great ly apf sciated. Professor, you don't have the least idea how proud 1 was to hear from the NJ. E. c. l am sure success is yours, because you have the grit, vim, and energy, also ability to make any proposition a success. It does me good to think I received training under you which is an honor to anyone. Am so glad you have such good material low. Yes, you are right, none put the best can comprehend tn, curse you teach. Il IS injurious O the shallow minded to under take such deep work. To all whr ntend to take bookke plng, 1 would certainly encourage short land typewriling, because I SC, md thegreat need of 1t each day | am bookkeeper for the above firm, timekeepcr, run the store aud make all settlements, also keep he lumber and log scale. I lu surprised to kn w how easy it is 10 keep such complicated set Jf books. All 1 have to do is t, apply the rules taught in the noble M. B. c. and the problem is solved. l am
 Very respectfully your student,
 J. w. Watson"
 It seems that the above or ght o encourage the bright talent of Mena ana Polk county to patron ize the M. B. c. We are now gathering students from far away. This is because we have to. A school without material cannot flourish. We can see no use in spending hundreds of dollars advertising in the Kansas City Daily, the Daily Live Stock Reporter, St. Louis, the Daily Capital, Des Moines, Iowa, and 'ther foreign papers to reach students from other states. There is plenty of home material and we prefer 1t if we could only de- wise some plan to reach it.
 Iris true, our school IS wrapped up in confusion as far as the Star IS read. but we are doing as good work as ever if not better. Cor. porations may rise up and wage war against unfair deals, but the Meua Business College is going to stay alive, stand by its post and faithfully discharge it's duty until legal authority commands it 10 move out. We came to Mena alone, we called on no one for help for we always felt that we were able to help ourselves, but we are in position now if we were united, to get liberal sup port. We have been offered a handsome donation if we would establish our institution in another city almost as attractive as Mena. We have no desire to leave Mcua, no, none whatever, but will-power, determination, and ability all combined in one rnau will never win so long as multitude IS against him.
