A THOUGHT WORTH CONSIDER
 ING.

Parents when selecting school for their son or daughter to attend or young men and women depending up- on their own judgment, should take into careful consideration the moral
 surroundings in which they will be placed when attending school. Our large cities are full of saloons and their accompanying evils. The busi- ness college located in these cities can
 not control their students when out of the schools room, therefore, they are left to roam the streets at will and get into all kinds of company. The Tyler Commercial College is located in the beautiful and healthy city of Tyler, Texas, a town of 12,000 inhabitants, with no saloons or their accompany ing evils. Our large crowd of 20O0 students annually are controlled with perfect ease, both while in and out of school. The school is opened each morning with exercises that strength en the moral character of every stu dent within it's walls. Lectures by prominent business men from various parts of the U. S. upon the necessity of truthfulness and honesty in true business education; lectures by some of America's greatest orators, men of extensive travel and careful study. These morning exercises are made in- teresting, inspiring, and encouraging. They cause our student body to deter mine to be honest, to be upright, to be industrious, to be ladies and gentle men who will make the brightest type of citizenship. A business education without the proper moral training is a failure, yet there is not another busi-

Theda Bara, Noted Partisan Ac- tress Plays Character Great
 Strength and Fascination

Theda Bara, the famous Parisian emotional actress from the Theatre Antoine, Paris, the Boulevard's play house of thrills, who created veri- table earthquake of comment through out the country for her marvelously telling performance of The Vampire, in "A Fool There Was" William Fox production, repeats her gripping characterization of that role in her rendition of Celia in the William Fox picturization of Tolstoi's "The Kreut- ger Sonata" This picture version of the Russian dramatist's most vital work is directed by Herbert Brenon, and released by the Fox Film Corpo- ration, successor to the Box Office At traction Company.
 Celia Friendlander, the beautiful and ruthlessly passionate girl, who, without scruple, breaks the heart of the faithful Miriam, so that she may possess herself of Miriam's husband Gregor, the brilliant violinist, is one of the strongest screen parts ever written and in many ways the most startling and remarkable. Miss Bara's powers, developed in the companies of Bernhardt, Jane Hading, and other fla nous French actresses as well as dur ing her seasons as leading woman of the world-renowned Antoine and Gy- mnase Theatres, Paris, were never displayed, even in the memorable "A Fool There Was" to more transcen- dent advantage than in Tolstoi's great work as it is seen upon the screen. With cruel, serpent-like cunning, Celia weaves her coils about the infatuated Gregor. She casts her unbreakable spell of beauty and fascination over him till Gregor forgets everything in order that he may be in her arms. From the farm in Russia, where, as a wealthy landowners adopted Gaugh- ter, she first meets Gregor and charms him by playing "Kreutzer Sonata" to the last throbbing scene of the play where she and Gregor are trapped by Miriam and, in scene so thrilling as to be almost painful in it's intensity, meet their deserts, Miss Bara's superb art never falters, nor steps aside. Her rendition of the part is bound to make "Kreutzer Sonata" one of the most discussed picturizations yet produced.

Prosperity In the south

''This year seems to be one of mark ed prosperity in the agricultural south,' said T. M. Poynter of Cincinnati
 1T have visited recently four states that produce the 1eecy staple-Arkan. sas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia and while many farmers have had poor success with their cotton crops, owing to the ravages of the boil weevil and in a few instances unfavorable weather conditions, what they did harvest is bringing such a fancy price as to put them in cheerful humor.
 But the greatest thing the south has done this year has been in the way of crop diversification. Some of the cot ton states have raised enough grain and meat to feed themselves, or nearly so. That after all is the key to the south's future progress.
 "1n crop diversification Alabama has probably led the other cotton states With It's 100000 bushels of corn--a new high record-and it's immense ton mage of hay, it's fine hogs, and fine cat tie, to say nothing of its 1000, 900 bales of cotton, which with the seed is worth 800, 100000 or more, this state is at tracting the attention of homeseekers as never before. The year 1915 will be a banner year. indeed, for Alabama

IN MEMORY OF voN sTEUBEN


 From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 That soldier of the Great Frederick, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, a dis tinguished fighter in the seven years war who came across the Atlantic in 17T7 to offer his sword to the Continental Con- gress, enjoys a place in the affection of the American people second only to that of Lafayette; and it is peculiarly appro- priate that a monument to his memory should have been erected at Valley Forge, where his services as an ''organizer of victory began. Tn that discouraged win- ter the kind of drill and discipline with which he was familiar was sadly needed. and his work was factor in the success of future campaigns which it would be difficult to exaggerate. To him and tn others of his countrymen. in the revolu- tion IS in the civil war this country owes much. remembrance of the debt might we'll put an end to the sneers at the He's sians who fought upon the British side. The hiring of mercenaries was a common practice of the time, and these did but their duty in going where they were or- dered.

ILLUSIONS
By Emerson.

By Emerson.
 There Is no change and no anarchy in the universe, Every god is there sitting in his sphere. The young mortal enters the hall of the Armament; there he is alone. with them alone; they pouring on him benedictions and gifts, and beckonins up to their thrones. On the instant, and necessarily fall snowstorms of illusions. He fancies himself vast crowd, which sways this way and that and whose movements and doings he must obey he fancies himself poor orphaned. insig- nificant. The mad crowd drives him hither and thither now furiously com- manding this thing to be done, now that What is he that he should resist their will and think on himself? Every mo- ment new changes and new showers oi deceptions to baffle and distract him And when. by and by, for an instant, the air clears and the cloud lifts a little there are the gods still sitting around him on their thrones--they alone with him alone.

Strength of Iron Market

If the tone of the pig iron market was strong a month ago it is far stronger today
 When prices for the Birmingham metal began to move upward from $950 on No. ? foundry basis early in the summer it did not take long for it to reach an $11 level; but it is now $12.50@13, and the demand is extremely brisk at those figures. While good deal of iron has been sold for the first quarter of 1916 at $12.50 the greater part of the output for that period will be held for higher prices. It is probable that Birming- ham iron will advance to $14 for next quarter delivery by the middle of Mo- vember
 Large consumers, approaching the strong statistical position of the mar ket, are eager to provide for next years requirements as speedily as possible. Statistically the situation seems to be this: Production in the United States is now at the rate of nearly 38,00O,O0O tons. As furnace companies are operating practically at full capacity, the output in 1916 cannot be very much above that rec ord. A conservative estimate of next years requirements is 42Q00, ,00O tons. In view, then, of considerable deficit in stocks it will not be surpris- ing to see southern iron bringing SIG or more by the first of January. A runaway market is always de- moralizing and ironmakers will en- deavor to prevent too rapid advance; but the abounding prosperity that pre-. vails throughout the industrial world has created an unusual demand for iron and few months hence SIG would not seem unreasonable. The result of all this activity in the | iron trade will cause furnace com- panies to enlarge and modernize their plants. It may be that few, if any, new stacks will be built next year, but with the capacity of the old fur naces increased the production in 1917 might be brought up to a total of 45,0O0, ,O00 or 5O,OOO,OOO tons. In the meantime the Birmingham district is prospering greatly. The iron and steel companies are making more money now than at any time in their history.

 So in the ravishment of the low coun- tries, Europe loses children whose like will never be seen again. Before the coming Of the printing press architecture was the expression of all artistry in man. It. was his adoration of the unknown. his Bible, and his religion. Every arch and lintel and doorway, every stroke of the chisel upon the carving, held meaning for the initiate. In every line of chapel and nave and tower and gargoyled cop ing, stories were writ as great as in the Bible
 These cathedrals and ancient churches of the low countries from Notre Dame dc Paris to Antwerp were books composed and graven by the great They were not built in year or two or three or . score or 50, sometimes not in 1Oo Then, with the coming of the printing press men turned from architecture as the mode of expression.

The telephone girl suspecting that some thing was wrong, reported the matter to the police and resumed her monot. onous "Number?"
 The police promptly came, shot the dog, and no one was injured.
 But this incident does not stand alone. When that August hurri- cane swept the gulf coast of Texas, telephone girls stayed at their posts Tn the wrecked exchange buildings as long as line could be made to work. Broken glass; showered in on them water swirled about their ankles, but still they persisted in their life-sav- ing work, sending out warnings of the approaching danger and cooperating with the work of the rescuers. One young telephone operator, Miss Daisy Neal, stayed in Port Arthur when every other inhabitant had fled from the storm, and was at her post when, four days later, few strag- glers began to return. The water stood ten feet deep, outside in the streets, but Miss Neal merely re- marked that Someone would have to be on hand when the lines commenced to work again"
 At Beaumont the second day of the storm, heavy wagons were sent out to gather up the girls who had gone home the night before and would not be able, otherwise, to get back to work through the storm. The vehicle sent after Miss Ray Suggs, who lived in a suburb, returned after several hours, the driver reporting that it was impossible to reach the suburb with team and carriage. A little later, however, Miss Suggs, wet and ex- hausted, her hair streaming and her clothing torn, stumbled into the ex- change and gasped, "I thought you would need me-"
 Yes, the telephone girl has all the latest qualities of a heroine which re- quire only the right circumstances to bring them out. When trouble comes she is the one on whom you can de- pend-her faithfulness in the face of danger is already proven.

They are the glor- ious cities and structures of Brabant and northern France. children of a time when architecture was the handmaiden of mems minds.

But, men fight little while upon little battle field and then are gone. And, though this be held an untimely end, what then ? Why, more come after.
