The forgery of money orders is not as common an offense among crimi- nals as the forgery of bank paper, but once in a while a shortsighted man undertakes 1t, generally to his sorrow.

My Son, MyD Daughter?

Did you know that all things are in motion2 Ma uure's law is fixed and must be obeyed. Every institution is either rising or falling. That which can not grow must perish, and in the face of these facts we positively assert that the Phoenix Busi- ness College is as well pre- pared to give high grade con- mercial training as any other institution. Bookkeeping and National Banking just like office work. The Clearing House system simplified and clearly taught. Equation of payments, averaging ac- counts, adjusting interest, and many other dark places in mathematics have been cleared of all complications. Commercial law, the leading factor of a business educa- ton, is taught on the black board, where student catches the cream in solid chunks. We teach syllable shorthand, a modern wonder that is go- ing to revolutionize the ste nographic world. Only nine characters, no word signs, no shading. no position. Bright as sunlight, can be mastered in thirty days, and written faster than ever required. Mathematics, English Com position, Letter Writing, Bus mess Form, etc, all taught by shortest commercial rules. We are determined that the Phoenix Business College shall move with the rising current of the blooming city to which it belongs. We are not greedy, but we want all who are interested in thor ough business training to en- roll in the Phoenix Business College. But let us be un- derstood. We are not solicit ing those who would be in- fluenced by cut-prices, free stationery, guaranteed posi- tions, or any other foolish ness. If one has not the en- ergy to make room for him. self when qualified to take hold on the top, he does not deserve room. This is busy world and every one is ex- pected to hustle. If one is not willing to hustle for a job, he is not apt to hustle when he gets one, and there is no demand for such peo- pie. A business education in the right sense has a broad meaning. It qualities to meet any emergency; it puts dol lars in place of cents; it is capital when standing, alone: it is an anchor that will stand the storm; 1t is all the above and more. Then, why deal with it in a silly, child like manner? We have spent twenty years preparing to lead men and women out of darkness into commercial light. We are ripe in the profession and it is on rec ord. All we want is the diamond in the rough. Our polish will determine its value.
 In conclusion will say, the Phoenix Business College is on a rock ribbed, solid gran ite formation, one that will not cave nor crumble. So, friends, bring us your Sons and Daughters at once and we pledge you our honor that we will turn them back to you in due time with busi- ness qualifications that will make you forever proud of them.
 Most Respectfully.

The carcass of the famous belled
buzzard was found on the top OF a hay
stack on the farm of j. T. Arthur in
Nicholas county. Many years ago
some one tied samll bell to a buz-
yards neck with a leather strap and
turned him loose. The buzzard has
been seen in many parts of Central
Kentucky in the past few years.
though many people thought the story
about the bell on his neck was a myth.
The finding of the dead buzzard with
the bell still on him corroborates the
story.
