The national debt of the dual king
dom at the outbreak of hostilities was
approximately $3.50 900. or about
s4s per head. Austria Hungary has
comparatively few foreign investments,
so that there was no large income from
this source to be interrupted by the
war. Her borrowings include French
loans which have been estimated at
$500. 100000. Since payment of interest
on these loans is suspended during hos
tilities, this temporary suspension
doubtless would Offset any loss of in

The diverse races that form the Aus
trian empire are saving people, al
most thrifty as the French peas

kingdom has increased about as rap
idly as that of other European coun-
tries, and this increase has been re-

One man. a Frenchman, captured by
the fanaticos, saw the children by ac-

escape, although he, too, had been con-
demned to death. He was being taken
by his captors through the mountains
when they came into a village reached
by a trail inaccessible to any except
the skilled nountaineers of the coun-
try. Evidently the soldiers who had
him in charge did not expect to find
the children at that place, for the trav-
cling party came suddenly into the VII
lage to find the children conducting
religious service. The Frenchman said
that in that place the children were
living in bark house, set apart from
the others and specially guarded.

Who Needs 1t Worse?

Who needs a thorough course of
Farm Bookkeeping and Business
Training worse than the farmer?
No one. That is just why the
TYLER Commercial College gives,
in connection with its course of
Bookkeeping and Business Train
ing, without extra charge, a series
OF lectures on systematic Farming
and a set of books especially adapt
ed to farm accounting. The farmer
who at the close of each day 5
work makes complete record of
everything done during the dav,
its cost, ETC., is learning to study
the details of the business. to watch
and observe the little things, and
he is compiling valuable informa
ton for reference, and at the end
Of the year. he knows just wha,
each crop has cost him; where his
gain and losses come from, and by
his close study and application, he
will the next year lessen the losses
and increase the gain. The farm
needs the trained mind as badly as
the store or the railroad Office. The
farmer needs to be able to write a
good hand, to spell correctly, TO
figure rapidly and accurately, to
know how to write deeds, or to
know when they are properly
written, TO write mortgages, notes,
contracts, bills or sale, etc. We
would advise our young who are
farming or who expect to farm to
give this matter careful considera-
ton. We also give a thorough
caurse in tie Chasing and Mark
ing of Cotton, a subject of vital
importance to our Young men. The
Tyler Commercial College has had
many young man to take the
business course with the sole aim
of going back to the farm and
making the best farmer in the com
munity, and a leader in all pro-
gressive movements.

commercial school in this country
