SPECIAL RATES
To All Those Who Enroll
Bef3re Jan. 10, 1914

There are certain times in any
business when it is good busi-
ness policy to offer special rates
and prices. This is especially
true in Business College work.
When we are organizing new
classes, we believe that it is the
best kind of business to offer
special rates as an inducement
to secure the immediate enroll
ment of puE lis in order that they
may be classified with others
beginning at the same time
The work of the teachers is
greatly lessened, and it is also
an advantage to the pupil.
We shall have a large num-
her of pupils enrolling during
January, therefore we propose
to supply free books and sta
tionery to all who enroll before
January 10th. This will be a sa
$1,000 to those who take the Co
course.

The young people today who are sue

by investing a small sum and few
months time in securing thorough,
practical business education.

Stenographers are Wanted

The demand for competent steno-
graphers is far greater than the sup
ply. For a number of years this has
been true. Our graduates of short
hand have always readily obtained
good positions.
The United States government is
holding special examinations through
out the country for stenographers on
account of the shortage in this branch
of service.
This being true it is difficult to see
why any person seeking an opportun-
ity of advancement would delay the
matter and hesitate about making the
necessary preparation.

Washington. Dec ZS.-ln review
Of the work accomplished in the cam.
paign 10 reduce the number OF deaths
in the mines Of the United States. the
federal bureau OF mines today placed
the states OF Michigan and Minnesota
lin the honorable mention column
The report, which deals with fatali-
ties in the metal mines OF the country
for 1912. shows that Michigan has re-
duced its total Of deaths in the copper
aud iron mines from 1874 in 1917 TO SO
in 1912; that Minnesota has reduced its
total deaths IN the iron mines from rs
to so in the same period The death
rate for every 1000 men employed in
Michigan was 42i in 1911 and 3.26 in
1912. and In Minnesota 4.59 in 1911
and 3.O2 in 1912
The thirty-eight lives lost in Miehi-
gan represent one miner saved for
every 1000 employed and the twenty
six less lives lost in Minnesota repre-
sent one and onehalf miners saved for
every 1900 at work.
The decreases in Michigan and Min
nesota in years time are the most re-
markable we have encountered SO far, :
said DR.. Joseph Holmes, the director Of
the bureau today, and were largely
due to an active safety campaign dur
ing the last three years. Il II indeed
gratifying TO note that the Lake Su-
perior mine operators are meeting with
such marked success within SO short q
time. 1t shows what may be engaged
in the mining industry.
Il do not wish to be understood as
agreeing that the death rates in Micht
gan and Minnesota are as low as they
should be, or as low as they will even
tually become, but do say that these
two states in the year have made more
real progress toward the desired goa
than others in the Union. either IN
metal mining or coal mining, and that
much credit is due the mine owners IN
these states for their activities in be
half Of safety.
From the very first, the bureau o.
mines has noted the friendly co-opera
tive spirit between the operators, tbs
miners. the state inspectors and th'
bureau of mines. The aggressive. prn
gressive spirit manifested by all per
sons concerned, the desire upon tn
part Of the operators and the men 4
learn about the work of the bureau
along safety lines, the enthusiastic
kindly greeting Of the men of our res
cue cars. the eagerness of the miner
to take the prescribed rescue and first
aid training. all those were sufficient
ly. noticeable to bring warm comment
from the employees of the bureau An
the result has been SO fruitful IN $

Wilson Will Read Message Urging
His 'HobbIeIess' Currency
Reform Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson will read his currency
message TO Congress in person, 1t was
announced at the White House prior
to the newspaper conference at which
the President discussed the bill at
length with the Washington CORE
spondents.
The President believes that his
plan of personally placing before the
national Legislature the views on i'm
portant topics, such as currency and
the tariff, insures greater attention
and more marked interest from the
country at large than did the former
custom Of sending messages to Con-
gress and having them read by a
clerk
Therefore, as soon as the currency
bill is completed and ready for pres
entation (probably about Friday of
this week.. the President will go to
the Capitol and present his views on
the necessary financial reform to the
assembled members of the House.
