4 NEW ENTERPRISE FOR OCALA

After casting about over the state
for a suitable location for opening up
a commercial or business college, Mr..
II. H. Arnston, Of Houston. Texas, has
decided that Ocala is possibly the best
and most centrally located for such an
enterprise. and is starting a school Of
this kind here.
The school will be a business college
in every sense Of the word and Will be
fully equipped for carrying on the
work on the most modern lines
The institution IS 10 be known as
the Florida College Of Commerce, and
Will occupy the upper floor Of the
Commercial Bank building.
Mr.. Arnston Is now at work organic
ing classes. and announces that the
college will open for regular recita-
lions the second Monday IN January.
There will be three departments. the
commercial. stenographic and English,
although a student may combine these
courses Il he wishes.
Mr.. Arnston will personally conduct
the classes in Shorthand, typewriting
and English, and an able assistant Will
he in charge of the commercial de-
partment, which will embrace book
keeping, arithmetic, penmanship and
commercial law. There will he both
the day and evening sessions, SO that
people who are employed during the
day will have an equal opportunity Of
securing thorough business training.
Mr.. -Arnston has had wide experience
in business life and in teaching. He
IS a university graduate, and has
taught in high school and college. He
received his business training in thu
| Gregg school, Chicago. and has beer
! connected with various firms in the
north and west. For several years he

| ing, and has successfully conducted
| his own school. In Houston, which HI
recently left to come to Florida, h
was principal of the stenogra phic de
partment of the Massey Business Col
1ege.
| Many of our young people have il
the past been compelled to go to oths
| cities in order to complete their bust
ness education along practical lines
and the Florida College of Commerc
will no doubt receive a large patron
age from the beginning.

PATRONIZE HOME MERHCASTS

Sears, Roebuck & Co, says an ex-
change, will, according to financial
reports. wind up it's current fiscal year
to end December 81 next, with an in
crease in gross earnings over 1910 or
about $4,000, 900. or 10 per cent. This
will make total gross for this year
about SCI, 500, 900, compared with SOL
500 900 for 1910. AS expenses of this
big mail order organization consume
about 80 per cent of gross, there
should remain balance for dividends
of about s7.400,0O0. or II per cent on
the $4,000, 900 common stock after de-
duction Of per cent for the $8,So0,-
900 preferred.
How much did you contribute TO the
prosperity of this mail order concern?
Think Of their one dollar catalogue
distributed by the million, the tons Of
goods returned at their expense by
dissatisfied purchasers; the tremendous
expense of its $4,000 employes-and
after all these expenses they can de-
clare II per cent dividends. The aver
age local merchant does business on
10 per cent profit basis. You must
have been cheated in quality if you
bought of them.

RESTORE THE CANTEEN

Regarding the attempt now being
made in Congress to restore the army
canteen, the New York World says:
Once more petition urging the pas
sage of a bill providing for the estab-
1ishment and maintenance of canteens
at army posts has been presented to
Congress. This time the petition is
signed by 275 medical men, many of
whom have had army experience not
only in times of peace but in the civil
war and in that against Spain. The
argument in this as in other petitions
is the simple but forcefuI one that the
canteen system will promote temper
ance and efficiency in the army and
reduce desertion, drunkenness and dis
ease.
In its last analysis the canteen is
nothing more than a club at which the
private soldier can meet his mates and
enjoy their companionship with such
refreshments and amusements as are
permitted under military regulat ions.
The absence of a canteen means that
the soldier must seek his enjoyment
outside the post-that is, he must find
it among the saloons and other resorts
of the kind that spring up around
barrack gates.
The post canteen, system was abolish
ed in 1901 in response to an agitation
against the sale of liquor at the posts.
The agitators were more Jealous than
wise. They knew little about the can
teen system and almost nothing about
the consequences that would follow the
abolition of it. Experience has taught
the lesson to every one capable of un-
Outstanding. The restoration of the
canteen should be effected by Congress
at this session.
