rendered this nation by the dem
ocratic party is daily seen in the
sundry discussions of a possible
war which will involve this coun-
try. While we do not really ex-
pect war, we all know that war
is possibility, yet no tremors of
financial panic have been seen in
this country. Even with the
sinking of the Lusitania, and the
resulting comment in this nation,
no money panic started, for the
insignificant reason that it could
not start. The new banking
system rendered it impossible
for bankers to draw in their nets
or spectators to furry the mar
ket. And we can go on talking
war if we want to, without dan
ger of Wall street grabbing our
pile and adding it to their own.
The drop in the price of auto
mobiles for the 1916 trade will
prove boon to the farmer. The
auto, as a farm utility, has been
tested out and proved a necessity.
An investment of from $500 to
$1,000 by the farmer in an auto
mobile is saving over $4,000 tied
up in horses, wagons, harness
and a number of other accessor-
les. The farmer living ten miles
away from town now, with his
machine, can do his shopping in
town in a part of the day,
while formerly the town chore
was a day lost. Formerly he
went to town once each week;
today he can conveniently visit
the community trade center each
day. He can crank up after sup
per and drive his family to town
and attend social functions, his
lodge or the lecture and be home
at a seasonable hour. He can
attend church under the city
steeples twice a day on Sunday.
His children can avail them
selves of the high school and take
two meals at home each day.

Stenotypewriting; t h e
StenOgraphic TIarveI

Stenotypewriting is the writing of

the ordinary typewriter instead OF
with a pencil. The principles of the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand have been
applied to system Of writing known
as Stenotypewriting, BY this system

or any otter make Of typewriter with
greater speed and accuracy than is
possible. with pen or pencil. Just as
the typewriter has displaced the pen
and pencil for correspondence in the
business Office, it will eventually dis.
place the pen or pencil for reporting in
the courts and handling the dictation
of the business Office.
Our Prof. Byrne again takes the
lead in the stenographic art, being the
first author to put his system of short.
hand into type and. make it thoroughly
practical on the typewriter. This.
however, was not accomplished in
day; it took years of hard work and
much careful study and thought.
Students enrolling in the Tyler Com.
merCial College may take up the study
of the Byrne Simplifed Shorthand,
either to be written with pencil or on
a typewriter, as they prefer. How.
ever, anyone who has examined the
merits of StenotypeWriting OR the
writing Of the Byrne Shorthand on the
typewriter will never want to spend
the time necessary to learn to write
and read any system or Shorthad that
is to be written with pen or pencil.
Stenotypewriting s legible as
print, because it is print. Every letter
is made mechanically correct. The
Tyler Commercial College will control
the teaching of stenotypewriting in
this part of the country just as it con.
trolls the teaching of the other Byrne
systems, which have made the Tyler
Commercial College famous, and made
it the largest commercial training
school in America. If you want to get

Stenotypewriting is learned in less
time than shorthand. is more legible
and rapid and the days dictation or re.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR BOOST.
ING. WELSH


Don't be the man who put sit in city
Building good houses builds good
town.
Save little money and save lot Of
worry.
Good roads lead not only to town,
but to money.
Be a live one and the town will never
be dead one.
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When someone plans to help the town
plan to help the plan.
The best plans a man can have to the
future are house plans.
A good way to make the world better
is to begin with the home town.
A town is like a perambulator: it is
Mt much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be like ball player. The thing he
is always working for is home.
Be one of the leaders of the town, if
you can; but anyway, keep up. ]
If you think d COW can't laugh for
JOY, let somebody sell you good silo.
Don't be a crouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you well, even the
doctor.
Let's not be trying to stop something
all the time. Let's start something.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like girl, It's wonderful
what little fixing up will do for her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man a living,
but the street corner is a poor collec.
ton agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
snaps are the ones that have the gin.
ger in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
If you would like to have somebody
working for you, put little money in
the bank.

The big things were not all done in

Scattered over Arizona are thou
sands of acres of gold-bearing mate

dollars if the proper facilities were
at hand. Some of these arid regions
may yet be reached by pipe lines for
carrying water, but there are many
others for which some method other
than water treatment must be de-
Vised. Many Of these placers have
been worked by Mexicans in a very
crude way with the ''batea' or Mex
lean dry washing machine, but it re-
quires extremely rich, loose material
to make these crude methods worth
while.
The Palomosa district lying east of
the Colorado river between the Palo-
mosa mountains and the Castle Dome
range, in Yuma county contain large
beds OF gold bearing gravel which
have been quite thoroughly tested.
Very complete Investigations have
been made on these beds and samples

The Levison district has about 300

The Old Hat district covers an area

The Greaterville district also in Pima

All together many millions of dol
