MORE COTTON FROM FEWER ACRES

Let this be the Arkansas slo-
gan now for FIVE years. The
Arkansas farmers are happy
this year over the big supply of
feed and foodstuffs grown on the
farms, and they are not going
to fail to grow plenty of feed
hereafter. Everybody knows
how foolish it would be for all
to go to excess on planting cot
ton next spring and get six cents
for it. Arkansas reduced her
cotton acreage Is per cent this
year and now let us keep it down
to the present acreage, or reduce
it A per cent lower and then add
to our corn and clover and feed
acreage and use more brains in
our farming. and Use better
seed, pillow better. cultivate more
and better, and thus keep up the
supply and get more feei and
more live stock. The Extension
Division of the University of
Arkansas and the Department
of Agriculture will make this the
keynote of it's campaign and
special meetings will be held
this winter in every cotton coun-
ty in Arkansas.

OFTEN LOST SIGHT OF

We call attention to a few of
the points that are often over
10 ,ked when selecting a school
to attend.
TYPEWRITlNG is one of the
most important parts of a busi-
ness education. We have. per-
haps, the only school in this part
of the country that teaches each
and every student to operate
accurately by the touch method,
the different standard makes of
typewriters. No difference up
on what machine The student
may learn, when he goes into an
office he may find an entirely
different make of machine;
therefore. it is very necessary
that he learn to operate with
speed and accuracy all the stand
ard makes of machines.
SYSTEM OF SHORTHAND:
Most schools teach the old Pit
man system. whichwas put out
in 1882. The Tyler Commercial
College teaches the famous Byrne
Simplified, which is a modern
system that produces greater
speed than any other system and
in less than half the time. We
give the student the choice of
writing the Bryne Simplified
Shorthand with pencil or on
the typewriter. When written
on the typewriter. we call it
Stenotypewriting. Stenot y p E.
writing is the stenographic mar.
vel of the age. 1t is printed
shorthand.
SYSTEMS OF BOOKKEEP-
ING: Most schools teach the
DRY course; the student reads
about what some one else has
done, and posts his work theo-
reticalIy. The students of our
school have to transact every
item of business for which they
make an entry; they learn to do
by doing; they buy and sell goods.
write deeds, mortgages, drafts
and all kinds of commercial pa
pers, ship goods just as they
would in actual business life.
They not only learn a thorough
course of Bookkeeping. but they
