EDUCATIONAL.

The National Telegraph institute of Gin cinnati has increased it's facilities for turning out railroad and commercial tele- graphers because of the remarkable con ditions prevailing.
 The Chicago Record Herald says: "Sev- eral thousand young men who are willing to prepare themselves. can have an op- portunity during the next few months of entering the railway service in a branch that has produced the greatest number of higher officials.
 'The railroads of the country are face to face with the task of securing at least 6000 telegraph operators and possibly dou- ble that number during the next nine months. This great army of new telegra- phers is necessitated by the new law which limits the hours of labor in this branch of railway service.
 There is not a railway management in the United States that knows where or how they are going to get the large ad- ditional force needed. he fact Is that they are not in the country and the prob lem is to create a supply

The day Is long past when persons of a moral and religious character who take life and it's problems seriously, entertained q fear of music. as being frivolous, and not conducive to the highest culture and character.
 All persons of intelligence now see that artistic music is the bright consummate flower of human life," and that all which is best in human nature Is eheered and strengthened by the touch of music as plants are refreshed by dew. The cultured voice, the piano. the violin, the organ, penetrate our institutions and our homes from the highest to the lowest. More than this. the appreciation for the best types of music. Is growing daily profounder and more widespread.
 The College of Music of Cincinnati, founded in 1878, and the direct outgrowth of the great May festivals, still exescses, with an ever-increasing force. and efnci- ency it's noble functions of teaching the science and art of music, in all 1t recog- nized departments.
 The college is an endowed institution, in- corporated under the laws of the state of Ohio as eleemosynary (that is, like d church. not subject to taxation and not permitted to declare dividends) and therefore it can afford to furnish the ser vice of the most expensive and best quail flied artists, at much lower price than these artists would otherwise charge for private tuition.

SPECIAL AGENT BAMBERGE AN.
NOUNCES SCHEDULE OF
MEETINGS.

w. NJ. Bamberge, special agent OF
the bureau of pant industry of the
department of agriculture. has COM
pleted his first month of work in
this district and has visited nearly
half of the counties in the southern
part of the state, addressing meet
ings and talking with farmers. He
has found the boil weevil in many
places and is convinced that not
over onethird of n crop will be
raised next year under the present
conditions and that to improve on
this 1t will be necessary to act
quickly and intelligently.
As has been stated before It Is
of imperative Importance that the
land owners change their method
of leasing at once. dating from Nov
ember instead of January as at
present and this should start with
this year, making leases terminate
November !. No cotton is actu-
lldl Wy
using improved methods there Is no
tangible reason why the whole crop
can be harvested and marketed by
that date. The early cotton brings
the best price, too. so there would
be a further benefit.
A renter by starting in November
can begin at once turning under
the cotton stalks and prevent the
nirther breeding and propagation OF
the weevil. for 1t is the EAST batch
that is hatched that lives over o
kspring and gets in its work on the
first of the crop. 1t has already
developed that there Is far too much
Iterritory for one man to cover ef-
fectively and in consequence Con
gresham Carter will make IL his
first work when he arrives in Wash
Iington to ask for five additional
| special agents to work in this dis
trict under Mr. Bamberge. He will
be aided in this effort by Senator'S
Gore and Owen. who have already
been appr,'ed of the danger which
threatens the cotton industry Of
|the state.
Mr.. Bamberge, who was at Nc
)Alester yesterday, announces the
following schedule OF meetings foI
the next three weeks:
November % to 30, towns OF
Rock Island between McAlester and
Ardmore.
