ELSIE REYNOLDS
LETTER GIVES LINE
ON FAKE METHODS

The following letter was turned over
TO The Herald by r. T. Hale, president
of the Anti-Faker society.
Mr.. Hale says the letter was given
to him by Mrs. Laura Hyland when her
methods were exposed. 1t is dated Los
Gatos, June 1, and is signed "Elsie
Reynolds" In it many people of Saw
telle and Los Angeles are mentioned,
and Mr.. Hale believes that some of
them are still dupes of Mrs. Reynolds.
LOS GATOS, June 1.
Dear Laura:
Yours only received yesterday even

SKILLED LABOR is SCARCE

Seldom in the history of Los Angeles
has there been such a scarcity OF
skilled labor of all classes, according
to employment agents and contractors.
The large number of buildings now
in course of construction has drawn
on the list of idle men until now there
is scarcely one without employment
and it is impossible for contractors to
get men for the cottages and houses
which they have taken contracts to
build. AS a result many builders are
far behind with their work and have
refused to take any more contracts
until they have caught up.
A trip around the employment
agencies in the city shows number
of men waiting for positions, but they
are, as a rule, bakers, bookkeepers
and office men. Scarcely a carpenter
or brick layer can be found. AT the
union headquarters calls for men are
frequent and any union man coming
to the city is sure of position upon
his arrival.

FRANK ERNE
MAY TRY AGAIN
GREAT LIGHTWEIGHT TALKS OF
THE RING
Former Wonder Who Dropped Title to
Joe Cans Experiences Call of the
Ropes and Wants to Don
the Gloves
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Frank Erne,
eX-champion of the lightweights, is to
try his hand at the game again. He
has been thinking the matter over for
a long time and he made up his mind
the night of the Corbett-McGovern
bout in Philadelphia.
1t has been three years since Erne
engaged in a regular contest and he
feels that he is still able to make a
good showing against most of the
present day lightweishts. His last
bout was in 1908 at Buffalo with War
rem Zubrick, whom he defeated in ten
rounds.
A few years ago when he was in his
prime he had a hard row to travel.
Never before in the history of boxing
was there such tough class of men
in one division as were fighting at the
lightweight notch, and it is not liable
to happen again in a century.
To be leader of the class in those
days one had to be a great fighter
and if false alarm" happened to
blow in from the west he was taught
how to take joke in a hurry
To give an idea of what a savage
class it was a perusal of a list of
those who were boxing in the light
weight division during the days of
the Horton law viii show that there
were over thirty first class men.
Recalling them from memory we
have, in addition to Erne, Kid La
vigne, Joe Walcott, Dal Hawkins, Tim
Kearns, Joe Cans, Spider Kelly, Spike
Sullivan, Jack O'Brien, Kid McPart-
land, Wilmington Jack DAILY, Eddie
Connelley Billy Vernon, Mike Leon
ard, Matty Mathews. George McFad-
den, Young Griffo, Jack Downey, Bob
by Dobbs, Jack Bennett, Billy Ernst
Andy Bowen, Jimmy Handler, Frank
Gerard, George Kerwin, Charley Me-
Keever, Otto Sieloff, Jerome Quigley,
Owen Zeigler and Jack Everhardt
There were many Others who were
as tough as a pine knot, but who
didn't have so much reputation. AS
a featherweight Erne defeated George
Dixon, Jack Skelly and George Sid
dons, while his most creditable vic
tories as a lightweight were over
George Lavigne Joe Cans, George Nc
Fadden and Dal Hawkins. He won
and lost the title at Buffalo-taking
it from Lavigne in twenty rounds and
losing II to Cans in one.

Refunlling Money Paid.


Many INSCRIPTIONS shoots will not
refund money when for any reason
the student is compelled to give up
his studies. Such schools usually
use some attractive method of get
ting students to pay for long terms
in advance, and then keep all the
money they get. Such schools usual
ly have the effrontery to advertise the
fact that no money will be refunded
and they always fall back on that
advertisement when a student who is
compelled to quit asks for and ex-
poets a refund of money paid for tli-
ton which he cannot get. A school
that will keep a students money un-
der such circumstances is morally
dishonest, II not legally SO. That is
a lesson In business ethics which is
no. in their regular course, but which
the student usually pays well for;
and it is lesson in graft which no
young person should be tempted 10
initiate.
The Ward County independent., 1906-09-06
Free Tuition.

These schools usually advertise one
or more months OF free tuition pro-
vided the student will pay for so
many months in advance. This in
duces some students to enter for a
longer time than they otherwise
would, and they seldom stay long
enough to get the benefit Of the ex-
ira months of free" tuition. The
money actually paid is lost II the stu
dent does not stay the unnecessary
time paid for. Therefore, instead Of
such schools giving something for
nothing, as they would have you be-
lieve, they are getting something for
nothing. 1t is the unfailing law Of
trade and nature that nothing is
ever given away. You pay for every.
thing you get, and when you TRY to
get free tuition, or cheap tuition. you
pay dearly for the privilege, not only
in peace of mind but in money. The
very fact that schools find it profit
able to advertise som ething for Moth
ing, makes especially forceful the old
saying that the public likes to be
humbugged. It will be noticed by
reference to the published terms of
the Minot Business and Normal Col
lege that when person pays FOR five
months it will not cost anything for
him to come one month more, but
the school does not advertise some
thing for nothing on that account.

mistake in trusting his education to a
school that tells the truth, even at
the expense of losing few incredu-
lous ones who will chase the bubble
Of buncombe advertising. and get
free car fare, free tuition, and a

The Minot Business & Normal
College WILL guarantee that it will
use as great efforts as any school in
the country, If necessary, to find posi-
tions for its competent students. This
effort in the past has kept every COM
