canteloupes that are nearly so.
Mr.. Sexton is cultivating a good
ly acreage Of his remaining land,
and the crops are looking finely.
One Of the sights at Ontagota is
the rose garden Of Mrs. Sexton,
and it would do an Fastener good
to visit the place and see there the
great profusion Of roses blooming
in the open air in December.
Upon some Of their land in the
vicinity OF Ontagota the Richard
son CO., are cutting now for fodder
crop Of sorghum that was planted
and grown for the purpose. 1t is
splendid looking proposition.
The yield is estimated at six or
seven tons per acre.

splendid showing. He has $50
acres of young garbanzo plants,
200 acres of wheat and 100 acres of

completed, SO they can be irrigated.
Last week there was organ
lied the Yaqui River Melon Growers

aged by Mr.. H. McComas, an ex-
perienced melon grower from Mesa
City, Arizona, where his family yet
reside. The association has leased
land at Ontagota, have signed up
already $50 acres, and anticipate
that the aggregate will reach 500
acres. Planting will begin at once,
and the melons will be ripe in
April, reaching the market six
weeks earlier than from the I'm
perial valley or the Mesa region.
1t is the aim OF the association to
ship at least one carload daily

Docs Education Pay?

The average educated man gets
$1,000 a year. He works forty
years, making a total of 1900 in
a lifetime. The average day lab
orer gets S1.50 per day 300 days in
the year. Or $450per year. In ten
years he earns 81, 500, or $4,000 in
a lifetime. The difference be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 is $22, 600,
equals the valuation in dollars.
Young people, a you afford to go
through life without an education?
A few months spent in the Falls
City Business College will aid one
in acquiring this earning capacity.
Divide the difference 1000 by sev-
en-, THE number of months required
to complete our course) and you
have something over three thous-
and per month. Is it worth it?

Who Should Have Business
Training?

We answer everyone. Who will
not be benefited by acquiring
the ability to write a neat, rapid
business hand: by improv-
ing their spelling. acquiring
a knowledge of accounts, becoming
quick and accurate at figures, becom-
ing familiar with the principles of
commercial law, and increasing their
knowledge of punctuation and the
construction of sentences? In these
days of commercial activity a business
education is an absolute necessity for
all. No matter how much or how
little educational training you may
be able to obtain, get a business edu-
cation by all means.

A FORTUNE AWAITING
Auburn Paople Expect to Inherit
Immense Fortune

G. c. Keyt and his sister, Mrs.
Shurrum of this city, and Will
Keyt, of Omaha are expecting to
inherit their respective shares of a
fortune of $500, 900,
The story of their expected in-
heritance is an exceedingly inter-
esting one. Many yearsa go in
South Carolina, a brother of their
mother was engaged in the coast
ing trade. He had a small sehoon-
er and it was his business ct that
time to take boat loads of vege.
tables from Charleston and the
other harbors of New York. One
morning he started with his
schooner loaded with melons, from
Charleston to New York City.
Months passed and nothing was
heard from him and finally years
slipped away with no word from
the captain, the crew or of the
boat. 1t was thought at the time
that the schooner had been wreck
ed and lost on the treacherous

A Talk to Parents.

Parents, of course, you mean to
do the right thing 10y your children.
No doubt, when you stop to think
about it, you realize most of your
present working and planning is i'll
their interest, and if you fail to do
what is wisest and best for them,
such failure is the result of a want
of reflection or a mistaken iudg-
ment. There is one decision you
may make, however, that will not
prove a failure, and that is to give
THEOLOGY or girl an education. You
may leave them wealth and it may
vanish like mists before the morn
ing. sun, but an education is theirs
forever.
If you have a bright boy or girl
who is DESTROYS of an education,
give that one a chance, ever though
at some inconvenience to you. You
will never regret it, and that child
will be grateful to you in later
years for the sacrifices you have
made in their behalf. Don't put it
off "Procrastination is the thief
T time" Don't blight your child's
lture by your OWL neglect, for re-
lember if that child travels the road
f ''bye and bye it will land at the
ouse of never

reefs that abound along the At
lantic coast.
a few years ago an advertise
ment appeared in n of the prin
cipal eastern papers offering a re-
ward for information that would
lead to the location of the heirs
of the mother of the Keyt boys
and Mrs. Shurrum. 1t was relat-
ed that her brother, who had been
in the coastine trade, had died in
some European city and had left
a fortune estimated at 100000
and his will provided that the
sister or her heirs were to be the
inheritors. The survivors Of the
family, who are the three named
are now hunting for the family
bible to establish their claim of
descent. They have forwarded
to New York attorneys interested
in the matter the funeral notices
of their mother and such other pa
pers as may establish their claims
and from now on it is thouuht will
bend every energy in proving
their rightful inheritance that was
left by their sea rowing uncle

Backward Students.

Many young men and young women
who have neglected their earlier edu-
cation are too backward to mingle
with the children of the public school.
To this class we have to say that in
our college there is nothing to embar-
rass you, as we give you personal at
~tention until you can enter classes
without feeling the least embarrass-
ment.

Advantages of Attending Our
School

The courses we are Offering you
would cost you from twenty to thirty
five dollars more in schools in the lar
ger cities, This is owing to the fact
that a college can be operated in a
small city at a much less ex pense than
in a larger one.
Then again a Students expenses
while attending college in a large city
are about twice as much as in a small
city.
