lage and hamlet. All people regardless
Of political faith or religious creed are
asked to JOIN in a general observed OF
the day.
This idea is worthy. The nation has
much for which an expression of graft
tude may be expressed, both with res
pect to our internal welfare and also
with respect to our relations with the
other nations of the earth.
Our own partiulcar section has ENJOY

The Worlds Record

The worlds record has again bean
broken by a Tyler Commercial College
student, j. j. Ago OF Bowie, La, enter
ed the TYLER Commercial College for
course of shorthand on Aug. II, 1914
and twenty.three days after en-
tering, won the worlds record by
writing $50 words per minute, unfam'
liar matter, for FIVE consecutive min
utes, making grade of 100 per cent on
his transcript.
Why attend any other school when
you can enter the Tyler Commercial
College, complete your course and go
in a good position in half the time re-
CURED by any other school teaching
any other systems besides the Byrne
Simplif1ed Shorthand and Practical
Bookkeeping. The Tyler Commercial
College owns the copyrights on there
famous systems.
Here is the time required by few
of the students who completed these
courses: Mr.. Us. Drew of Monroe, La.
one month and twenty.eight days; MIR.
DIN Roberts of Terrell. Texas, one
month and twenty.six days; Miss Alice
Wallace of Winnona, Texas, in two
months and five and a half days;
MIR. J. j. AYo of Bowie, La. in twenty.
three days; Mr.. W. ". BeeSon of Nal.
vern. Ark. finished bookkeeping in two
months and eight days; Mr.. Asa BoleS
of Garrison, Texas, two months and
six days; MIR. E. NJ. Cain of Fairfield.
Texas, one month and eighteen and a
half days; MIR. B. Sherrod of Rails Tex
finished the combined course in three
months and fifteen days Miss Maidee
Thomson of Goldthwaite, Texas. in two
months and thirteen days.
This shows how quickly these young
people prepare themselves for a good
Salaried position by attending the Tyler
Commercial College where they could
get advantage of the famous Byrne
Systems. We easily save from three
TO FIVE months time on course Of
bookkeeping and shorthand. Conced.

The Open Saloon.

We gre reproducing hereunder an
es say of very striking merit written
sometime ago by Mr.. Allan Wicket who
is anephW of Mrs. E.M.Clark Of Welsh.
While ritten by school boy the ar
gument is clear and well expressed.
We are glad to reproduce this essay at
this time when the question of the open
saloon is prominent before the people.
Alcohol, Wnen it was first discovered
about seven hundred years ago, was
supposed TO be the elixir of life, but
has sjece proved itself to be the water
0 death"
The earliest diScoverer is supposed to
have been an Arab, AlbucaSiS by name.
H distilled it IRON wine. one of the
m ny drinks containing this curse,
which has led countless men to perdi.
ton
It is an established fact That alcohol,
an all drinks containing it, are harm
ful to the human race: history proves
lit; Caesar alluded to it as debasing
and demoralizing force; scientists and
physicians have proved it, no reference
is needed 10 show this, as all text books
magazines, lectures, and sermons
heard from professors or lecturers
help TO prove that alcohol is harmful
beyond question.
Then why should we have in our
midst, this center which makes it a
business TO supply the deadly liquid
that it may the more easily destroy US?
Many persons who actually subscribe
to this belief. that alcoholic drinks are
harmful, have yet been found advocat
ing the licensed saloon. Some bring
forward arguments for the saloon
these we will endeavor to diSprove
others give no arguments supporting
their opinion. The majority of the ar
guments are selfish ones, although
some are weakly constructed with the
object of making them seem TO be fol
the general welfare.
A prominent argument is that sa'
looms make the town more popular and
bring added business to the merchants
What merchant prefers to give gro
ceries on credit, when the cash is going
into the hands of the S8loonkeeperi
Why should additional drunkenness
cause town or community to become
more prosperous? AS far as the amount
of business of a town refusing tc
license a saloon might indeed be re
moved. Nevertheless, the citizens who
are not slaves to the drink habit woulC
be more willing to patronize the mer

and II is the consensus of the knowing

able reason, has not struck its true
stride, although Captain Schoder has
signed up some of the best bowlers in
the league. This team is composed Of
hustlers and are sure to be heard from

Strict Rules Laid Down for
BoWIers in New Duckpin
League.

There is a newcomer in the midst OF
Your bowling colony; ii being the Com
mercial Bowling Alley League, which
has its headquarters at that place.
Although its schedule is nearly a month
advanced. 1t has kept its activities
almost secret until the season is an as
sured success.
Eight teams comprise the Commercial
Alley League and each team is limited
to eight men who shall be eligible to
roll in any Of the league games In
which his team is booked. Several in
novations in the matter Of rules and
regulations have been established by
this league which is experiencing its
first year in organized bowling.
Probably the most important Of these
Is that one which has to do with the
signing Of new men In the third series,
which Is not permitted under the by
laws and constitution. Another Is the
illegality Of cutting a now bowler into
the game after the seventh box, and the
third being the provision forcing all
bowlers to register their names with
the president before becoming eligible
to roll.
A pretentious schedule has been ar
ranged by the directors. who are made
up of the officers and captains. Its

LEAGUE FLOUR|SHES
Ten Teams From as Many Gov

Iy Organization.

Not to be outdone by its brother ten
pin organization. the Departmental
Duckpin League was organized three
seasons ago. when the big game was
in it's prime here. w. s. Stamper is
president Of the little-pin circuit this
year. and in the ten departments which

league, the game has taken a firm hold.
The departments represented are
War, Marine Corps, Treasury, Land
Office. Navy Yard. Bureau of Engrav-
ing. Labor. Commerce. Agriculture, and
Civil Service Commission.
Included in the list Of officers who
assist Mr. Stamper in conducting the
affairs Of the Departmental Duckpin
League are c. E. Douglas, Of the Ma
rine Corps headquarters. vice president;
R. z. Miskesell. Of the Department OF
Labor, secretary. and Hugh Smith. OF

scorer.
Last season the Treasury team won
the championship of the Departmental
Duckpin League and the season before
the gonfalon fell to the Navy Yarders.
The latter contingent is out there with
a strong aggregation this season. and
is making many boasts for the future.
