Does it Pay.

The four years that a boy
works while he might be in
high scdool amount to little. Few
boys Of this class have a hum
dred dollars in the bank by the
time they would have graduated,
and that means not more than
Sc a year for life, whereas in
any line of work a fellow can
earn from ten to fifteen times
Sc a year more if he has made
good use of his high school op-
portunities.
There are several cities in
which the business houses have
a standing offer for earnest high
school graduates whom the prin
cipal will recommend, and at a
wage greater to start with than
they would be getting if they
had been out and at work for
the four years.
In a variety of ways it is easy
to demonstrate that a young
man gains for life, financially,
by getting ready for life work. =

Commercial Club to Meet.

The next regular meeting OF
the Commercial Club of Tupelo
will be held on Monday night
August 23rd when all members
are urged to be present. This
Club is one of the best features
in the town of Tupelo. 1t has
been the indirect cause of the
proposed railroad from here to
Pontotoc. 1t was at meeting
of this club that the electric road
was first proposed. Not only
has it aroused interest along this
line. but in many instances it
has helped the town in general.
At present advertisements are
carried in the Southern Lumber
man, Merchant & Manufacturer,
Taylor -Trotwood, and st. Louis
Post, telling the world of the
great advantages offered by this
section.
This week marks the twelfth
month the Club has been in ex-
istence, and is just old enough to
be worth something, and should
have the hearty and cooperative
influence of every enterprising
citizen in Tupelo. 1t is not a
few men trying to run the
affairs, but the best men trying
to better things financially. You
are welcome to become men,
Der of the organization, and If
you are a worker for the town,
they want you. No town can
succeed without having some
means of telling the outside
world what they have and what
they offer. The Club has made
this their business and their COM
plete system of advertising is
causing the large capitalists to
look toward Tupelo with a view
to locating manufacturing plants.
We have the inducements, and
we must show the people at least
enough to get them interested.
Come out Monday night and be
one of the Club. Members are
specially asked to be present.

Mother';s 5 Shining Example.

"Be man," said an Atchison
girl to her brother. Then she
got to thinking. When trouble
came to her home it was her
m ,ther who met it bravely, pa
tiently and calmly. 1t was
mother who told father not to
worry. who calmed his fears and
who did all her own worrying
without letting anyone know
about it. 1t was mother who
was never afraid, never angry,
who was above petty annoyance,
and who spent her life on the
fireing line, fighting for others.
