WOULD LOCATE NEW
BUSINESS COLLEGE HERE

Durant is in fair way to secure
new business college according 70
Mr. v. H. Givler. Of Waxahachie,
Texas. who was in the city Tuesday
OF this week looking over the field
with a view to locating here. Mr..
Givler expresses himself as we'll
pleased with the looks Of Durant and
the surrounding country and express
ed the opinion that a business col
.lege should prosper.
Mr. Givler is the originator and
patentee OF an entirely new system
Of shorthand which he says contains
about one-fifth OF the characters OF
other systems and which can be mas
tered by a pupil Of average intelli-
gence in a very few weeks. One OF
his pupils made a record OF writing
162 words in a minute using his sys-
TEN OF shorthand. and many others
have made corresponding records af-
ter instruction Of only few weeks.
These records are all backed by af-
fidavits.
Mir. Givler has been consulting
with both the heads Of the Chamber
OF Commerce and the % Expansion
Club relative 10 the proposition and
says that the only thing he wants IS
assurance Of the necessary number
Of pupils TO make his school a sue
cess If he should decide to locate
here

food may be more than the farmers
family needs is answered by the fact
that some of the products may have
been exchanged for flour. sugar, etc.
or that the excess quantity may be
sold or converted into more live
stock.
The system adopted as a basis for
credit is not. Of course. to be consid-
cred as inflexible. or as applicable
to every section of the cotton states.
1t does, however. serve as valuable
guide for determining what extent

Cotton, Money Crop.

Acres in cotton: 20 acres.
Total acres in crops: 40 acres. 2
horse farm.
The farm is divided into two parts,
one half being devoted to cotton, the
other to feed for the stock and food
for the family. For the purpose OF
the rate sheet, il is assumed that the
WELD Of cotton viii be one-third of a
bale per acre, and of corn twenty
bushels per acre. A farm managed in
this way will yield. according to the
bankers, an income Of S664.7s with
cotton at cents per pound, and OF
S6sS.OS with cotton at 10 cents a
pound. On, the other hand, the all
cotton farm. with the same price of
cotton will have an income of only
s4eO or $500.
In drawing up these estimates, the
labor factor is not considered. al
though the all cotton farm probably
requires more than the food-and-
feed farm. Furthermore, the fact
that twenty acres of cotton can be
worked more carefully and a greater
yield per acre secured than firty
acres Is not taken into account. II
is probable, however, that when only
twenty acres is planted to cotton. a
yield of one-half bale instead OF
one-third of bale per acre could be
secured. The food that the food and
feed farmer grows for his own use
is credited to him at the prises that
the all cotton farmer would have 70
pay for it. The objection that this

Marking Auto Highways in Wis.

The Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation is persisting in it's campaign
for the marking of through automo-
bile highways in Wisconsin. The
routes will lead across the state in
various directions best calculated to
meet the needs of tourists. An effort
will be made to induce the cities of
adjoining states to adopt the same
signs SO that the routes may be as
long AS possible.
Although advertising these routes
has been held in allegiance until the
marking is done, the Wisconsin Ad-
vancement association is every day in
receipt of inquiries from people in
middle western states for these
routes.
AS soon as the marking is complet-
ed, which will require but few
weeks map will be published cover
ing all the through routes of the
state and connections between them.
The result will be that thousands of
automobile parties will come to the
state.

Farmers Institutes for Fall and Winter

SO, application should be made at
once to the Department of Farmers
Institutes, c. P. Norgord, Supt.,
Madison, Wis.
The Farmers Institutes are con-
Quoted by successful farmers who
have had long experience in studying
and presenting the best methods of
farming and in practicing the same
on their own farms. These men have
witnessed the growth of scientific
agriculture during the past l 5 or 20
years and have presented and prac-
ticed each new phase as it has APP
peared. They are thus thoroughly
familiar with the best agricultural
methods and present the same in a
forceful and interesting manner.
Specialists in various lines of work
from the State Experiment Station
and elsewhere also appear on the
program. These two types of men
insure programs of practical and
scientific merit presented in popular
form.
A very large number of Farmers
were held last year, yet all of the
demands could not be supplied, it is
therefore important to make applica-
tions early.
