Great Opportunity for Young Men

The demand for telegraph operators
was never so great as at the present
time. The largest telegraph school in
America, equipped with over hundred
sets of instruments, miniature train sys
tens, train wire of main line rail-
road, all telegraph and freight blanks,
tickets, in fact everything just as COM
plete as found in the best equipped rail-
road Offices, the best practical teachers
to be obtained, thoroughly experienced
in commercial and railway telegraphy,
station and freight work - the Tyler
Commercial College Of Tyler, Texas
unable to any way near supply the de-
mand upon it by the railroads and tele-
graph companies for operators. Just as
surely as young man will complete a
course of telegraphy and station work;
just SO surely will he be placed immedi-
ately in a good position. The same is
true where our course of bookkeeping
and shorthand is completed.
Our students are on all the leading
Southwestern roads.

Advertising Louisiana.
From the Baton Rouge Advocate !

From the Baton Rouge Advocate
Governor Hall has taken the initial
step to have Louisiana's resources and
advantages advertised in the North,
West and East.
The suggestion is timely. The move
ment is an entirely practical one. The
commission named by the Governor is
one capable of getting up an exhibit fol
Louisiana that will reflect credit on its
people and be of value to the State.
Louisiana needs advertising right
now. The North and West need to know
something of the value of Louisiana
landslide richness of its soil, the wealth
of its minerals, the variety of its prod
ucts, the possibilities of intelligent
farming, the rich return that intelligent
farming and a moderate capital vii
bring,
1t is the plan of the Governor to have
an extended exhibit placed on wheels
and by train carried to all points of the
middle West. The exhibit is to be State
wide in its scope, representing every
section, and not, in any way or sense
sectional. 1t will leave Shreveport after
the close of the State Fair, and carry
the best of the Louisiana exhibits dis.
played at the fair.
In making this plan success Gov.
ernor Hall asks for the cooperation O.
the press and the people of the State
He should receive it.
Every citizen of Louisiana should b.
interested in the success of this move
ment, and according to his ability hell
the movement forward.

Praises Home State.

Following is an extract from letter
to the Banner, written by Mr.. ]. A.
Rickart, market correspondent at the
Kansas City stock yards, under date OF
the 1st:
"W. T. Roberts, planter and mule
dealer of Cheneyville, La, here on a
mule buying trip, says that Tariff ag-
itation reduced the sugar cane acreage
the boil weevil reduced the cotton croE
about one third, but corn is extra good
and other crops are up to the average.
Mr.. Roberts paints picture OF farming
possibilities in Louisiana calculated tt
create envy among Northern farmers
when he tells, among other things, O.
raising two crops year on bottom
lands, six crops of alfalfa in a season
and of grazing the year round"
