Points to be Considered

There are four points that should
be considered in selecting a school
to attend
First: The schools financial stand
ing, for the student does not want
to attend school today that will
pass out of existence tomorrow. The
Tyler Commercial College of Ty-
der, Texas, has paid-in capital and
surplus of over 100000 1t is owned
and operated by men who have prov
en- themselves successful business
men.
Second: The moral surroundings
Our teachers, twenty in number, are
ladies and gentlemen of the very
highest character. We look after
our students while in school, and en-
courage them in honesty and up
Brightness.
Third: The systems and methods
used. We use the famous Byrne
systems of shorthand and book
keeping, which enables us to turn
out better bookkeeper or stenog-
rapher in half the time and at half
the cost of other schools teaching
other systems. We have the exclu-
sive control of these systems in
this state. Therefore, the Byrne
systems are a case of "sour grapes
to our competitors The fact that
we turn out better stenographers
in three months than they can in
six should interest the prospective
student. Read our catalog and see
the Endorsements from hundreds of
students and business men.
n,,,. bilitr m ,,1n 1rp,,
In a good position with a respon-
sible firm We realize that if we
hope to succeed, our students must
succeed; the greater their success,
the greater our success. Other
schools haven't the advantages of
our most modern systems, therefore
1t is utterly impossible for them
to make a good stenographer Or
bookkeeper of you in as short a
time as we can.

The Small Crops.

There is no feature Of life on
sugar plantation which brings greater
satisfaction for the expenditure OF
labor tlan the possession of a gar,
den, and while numerous planters,
the majority in fact, have more or
less Of vegetables grown for the
table, there are comparatively
small number who give this the
attention that it deserves, says the
Modern Sugar Planter.
Aside from proving source of
food supply which is frequently not
otherwise obtainable, or if so only
at rather heavy expense, the pro-
duction of variety OF vegetables on
the plantation can be turned into
source Of profit not to be despised.
And it is surprising what an intel
ligent gardener land there are few
plantations but what boast OF
darkey or Italian with talent in that
direction) can do on several acres
of choice sugar land. Or lacking
the already educated gardener, there
may be the son of the household
who can be set to learn the first
principles of agriculture and become
a truck gardener with material profit
to himself.
In the heart of the sugar belt
of this state good truck lands in
locations where rapid delivery can
be made to Northern or Western
markets are bringing fabulous prices.
The same land or better is to be
found on most of the sugar planta-
lions and those who do not feel in
cined to take the trouble with the
raising of vegetables for themselves
might well give thought to the Sc
curing of some one on the place to
undertake the work on share basis.
Probably the best or most available
ones to engage would be Italians
who have had experience and who
delight in work Of this sort, num-
bers of whom may be recruited from
among the foreign plantation hands
that are so numerous in the sugar
parishes. Get fugal son of Italy
interested in profit-dividing prop
osition of this sort, and it is apt to
prove a revelation the amount Of
money he can make by selling the
garden produce to neighbors in the
country and in the nearby towns,
he incidentally gathering for the
owner of the land a sum which is
very likely to annually exceed the
lands value, as a result of the single
years paintings.
While such earning of a hundred
dollars or SO may not prove espec-
tally inviting to the planter who
does not care to bother with the
petty details of truck gardening
around his home, the madam of
the house can frequently be found
willing to superintend division Of
the spoils with the gardener, and
she it is who is the most interested
in seeing the crops grown, for hav-
ing at her command the vegetable
delicacies of the season simplifies
her task Of house keeping in a man
ner that is most appealing to the
good wives who delight in setting
an appetizing table.

The Inference,

The Monroe News-Star argues that
there is "a vast difference between
supporting Judge Hall for associate
supreme justice and for governor, bu
it is not clear to the ordinary mind
why a man who would, as the es-
teemed contemporary declares, add
lustre and renoWn to the supreme
court" may not be relied on TO
make first-rate governor. Ihe
difference which is sought to pc es-
tablished in this instance seems
about as vast as that tWlxt
tWeedledum and tweedledee.

A FORTUNE IN TAlLiNGS.

Within q short time the work of
extracting half million dollars from
the dumps of the old Harqua Hala
mine, in northern Yuma county, will
begin. Machinery for the cyaniding
plant Is being installed.
John Martin and a group Of asso-
ciates have taken over the Harqua
Hala and will work over the tailings,
which contain $50O,000, in addition to
the millions that the famous old prop
erty has already produced. In the
first place, the ore from the mine
was very rich, but 1t was worked by
a somewhat primative cyanide pro-
cess and the average loss in the tail
ings was from 81 to SIS a ton. Many
hundreds of tons contain much more
gold than that.
Ten of the most modern cyanide
tanks manufactured are being install
ed and within a few weeks they will
be ready for work to start upon the
100000 tons of tailings lying on thu
dump. The mine itself will not be
touched It is possible that there are
undiscovered ore bodies on the lower
levels, but no attempt will be made
to open them at this time.

MINING PROFITS.

According to a careful compilation
made by the Mining and Engineering
World, eleven months of the year
have been profitable to holders
stock of sanely-operated mining prop
cries to the extent of $75,O52,76
Participating in these disbursements
were 149 companies, 112 operating In
the United S ates, 19 in Mexico, II
in Canada ard one i'm Central Amer
lea.
The profitableness of legitimate
mining could be no better exempli-
fled than by the total disbursements
of these 149 companies, which, in
Guiding the November declarations,
reach the enormous total of $766, ,189,.
9S2. This, bas en- the total issued
capital Of the 149 companies, is
eqlivaelnt to a return of I07 per cent,
or approximate ly $55, 100000 in excess
Of the outstanding capital.
