Started with three pupils in at
tendance, in the face of seven bust
ness college failures, in Sedalia. and
by allowing the pupils to come by
the month, paying at the end of the
month if pleased and satisfied that
they were getting the best, it has
succeeded in building up an insti-
tuition, solely on its merits, that is
the pride Of Sedalia and the State
of Missouri.
Teachers have been carefully test
ed from the beginning, and every
teacher that was of the best has
been retained if money would re-
tain him. Teachers that have been
found wanting have been changed
for better ones; teachers who are
not only thoroughly educated, but
who have had actual business eX-
perience in the subjects that they
are teaching, are employed in this
institution, regardless of salary.
This school is now reaching a de-
gree of perfection that has attracted
the favorable consideration and
comments of our best educators,
and is bringing from the business
men who have employed its gradu-
ates, enthusiastic letters of praise
and commentator.
You get business education but
once in life. You can't afford to at
tend a business college that does
not graduate the most thorough and
practical bookkeepers. stenographers
and telegraph operators.
Write for catalogue and read
it with my assurance that it in no
way misrepresents this institution.
Visit our school, and if not satisfied
that we have told the truth in our
catalogue and that you can get the
best advantages to be had in any
business college, ] will pay your
fare to Sedalia and return home
and entertain you free while inves-
tigatine this school.
This is giving you square deal.

Clifford Parks, tn nominee for the
Republican primary for governor, is
of the personal opinion that no legal
attempt should be made to keep the
Stewart people from going on the
Republican primary ballot by peti-
ton. Following his nomination, Mr..
Parks said:
81 certainly hope no attempt will
be made to keep Mr.. Stewart off the
Republican primary ballot. Pelson-
ALL / do net see how .he can morally
support the national candidate OF the
Progressive party and still want to
secure nomination for any position
on the Republican ticket. But if he
feels he can do this, under our pri-
mary law as it now exists, | do not
want any attempt made to keep his
name off the Republican primary bal
lot. | feel that | can win against
him four to one and if he goes on the
Republican primary ballot, and is de
feated, he certainly must support the
ticket this fall. ii | cannot win the
primary elction against him, GER
tainly cannot win the November
election. And ! might as well find
out in September as November just
how | stand with the people. OF
course, this is only my personal opin-
ion. | have not consulted the organ
ization or the other candidates, but
so far as. | am concerned welcome
Republican primary fight with Mr.
| Stewart if he feels that he can NOR
ally have his name on the Republi-
can primary ballot and ii he vii
agree to support the ticket after the
primary is over"

At the regular meeting of the Oterc
Agricultural club last Saturday afternoon
it was decided to make much larger
exhibit at the Arkansas Valley fair than
has been attempted and other sections OF
the valley will be invited to participate
SO that we may have the very best ex-
hibit possible OF valley products, for which
the fair association promises to furnish
all the space needed.
1t was also decided 10 have the pictures
o. the club experimental farm oop!r ghteo
and to have some 10000 post cards OF
the views printed for distribution wher-
ever the exhibit may be taken.
A committee consisting of w. R, Dye

head was appointed to prepare the matter
for a booklet that the club will publish ir
the near future setting forth the possibil-
tiles of the valley. and in the discussion
of the publicity question several club
members took occasion to roast some OF
our real estate men for their knocking
to prospective land buyers. and i. is likely
that definite action will be taken at the
next meeting On Aug. z to bring the

ASSEMBLY A HUGE FARCE
State Democrats Condemn Primary
Measure of Own Taking

Ben Hiliard was forced to lose in the
senatorial vote. Tom lyman was squeezed
out of the race for governor and Steve

And yet the very same machine ad-
opted a resolution denouncing the mach
inc feature of the new primary law and
pledged the Democratic party to work for
the repeal of the assembly section of the
primary law.
Following are the nominees for the
more important positions on the Demo-
cratic state ticket:
