Often Lost Sight Of.

We call attention to few of the points that are often overlooked when selecting school to attend
 SYSTEM OF SHORTE AND: Most schools teach the old Pitman system which was published in 1882. The Tyler Commercial College teaches the famous Byrne Simplified, which is modern system that produces greater speed and accuracy than any other system and in less than half the time. We give the student the choice of writing Byrne Simplifed Shorthand with a pencil or on typewriter. When written on the typewriter, we call it Steno typewriting. enotypewriting is the stenographie marvel of the age. It is printed shorthand.
 System of Bookkeeping; Most schools teach a theory course; the student reads about what someone else has done, and posts his work theoretically. The students of our school have to tran sact every item of business for which  they make an entry; they learn to do by doing; they buy and sell good, write deeds, mortgages, drafts and all kinds of commercial papers, ship goods just as they would in actual business life. They not only learn thorough course of Bookkeeping, but they obtain a practical business training as we'll; this business training is..worth as much to them as course of bookkeeping, and it costs nothing extra.
 POSITIONS: We secure positions for every worthy graduate; we fully realize that practically trained stud ents, placed in good paying positions are the strongest advertisement a school can put out, and that is this kind ot advertising brings in over 75 per cent of our new enrollments.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years 1t was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur able. Catarrh is local disease, greatly influenced by constitu- tional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is a consti- tutional remedy, is taken in- ternally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Halls Catarrh Cure fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonial.

to our new and undeveloped country will, in some ways, doubtless prove beneficial, at least to some, and not detrimen- tai to many; but there are some of our home people who will be greatly damaged, if time is not taken by the forelock, and pre- parations made for the days that are surely coming.
 When the onrush from the Eastern States, attracted by the show that "on wheels' made be- gin to move this way, all of the best available lands will be seIz- ed upon by the new incoming in vestor, and the price of real estate will go up rapidly. That will be a glad day for the man who has land to sell, but what will it be to the poor man or boy of our own country who wants to buy land and has none to sell?
 There are thousands of men and boys in our land who will have to depend on the soil for a who do not own a foot of land, and if they sit idly by and wait, the time will soon ar rive when it will be beyond their means and opportunities to ever own any, and then the sad and serious condition of life e-leniency will confront them This admo- milton is given in the interest of our home people, who, ought, by all means, prepare for indepen- dence and lifelong satisfaction, by buying piece of land while it is not, eyerlastingly, too late. Men, with families, young men who contemplate marriage, and old men who have boys growing up, should see to it at once that lands be purchased, sufficient for their needs, before the prices get beyond their reach. No better or safer investment could possi- bly be made.

 Mr. Robbins, editor of the Ar kansas News, who made the trip with the Arkansas on Wheels Boosters train, has this good word to say of Drew county's ex- hibit, and of Prof. J. N. Will Hams and his excellent work in behalf of our county:
 "Drew county occupies two eX- hibit spaces in the car, and one of the spaces filled with all sorts of grain, fruit and cotton, witf vegetables and the like was al filled from just one farm, most completely and comprehensively demonstrating the splendid re suits that can be obtained by di versifying in Drew county. This exhibit is in charge of Mr. J. N Williams, representing the ever active Business Mems Club of Monticello. Mir. Williams ha' been valuable aid in dis tributing the Arkansas News book "Arkansas in Nineteen anC Sixteen,' and he can add his tes timony to the value the publica tion has been to him and to the train. Drew county is one of the best agricultural and stock coun ties in Arkansas. Mr. Williams has not failed to tell the people about the great fair that was held in Monticello last week.
 The coal exhibit from Western Arkansas is taken in charge by H NJ. Gregory of the Arkansas on Wheels train, and it is at, tracting much attention.

Hon. Ben L. Griffin, of Little Rock, visited our city last Satur- day. While we did not have the temerity to inquire, and as he did not volunteer to tell us, we are left to conjecture his mission. Our understanding, however, is that Mir. Griffin is out doing feld-work in the in terest of what Is known as Act No. ,, a newly initiated propo- sition to repeal the State wide law. While it Is generally known, by the intelligent read CTS of this paper, that the editor is opposed to this Act No. ,, nevertheless we are catholic e. nough in spirit to concede to others the right to their opin- ion without impugning their mo- tives or questioning their intelli- gence, and while we cannot, at all times agree with our friends, nevertheless, We are glad to see them.

With Woodrow Wilson for President the country knows just what to look for; but with Hughes, the problem is, what?
The Monticellonian., 1916-11-02

The object of having initiated Bills and Amendments publi shed IS that the voter may read and decide how to act for himself. You should study these different measures and then cast your ballot as your best judgment dictates. It is alright to listen to argument, pro and con, on all measures submitted for your consideration; but you should not fail to bear in mind that you are to be your own judge as how you should vote. Ofcourse, you will find men who will tell you that you are fool if you do not vote for this measure or against that one, but under the law, and your duty to the public, 1t is not incumbent upon you to take their dictation. without the proper investigation for your. self. Under the law the privilege of the ballot IS person al; 1t IS a prerogative that cannot be dele gated, and should not be, for under our theory of government that the people rule, 1t is neces- Sarv for every individual to ex- ercise, in the highest degree, the right of independence, and cast his ballot fearlessly and freely as he thinks best, after due consid- eration and mature deliberation, regardless of the opinion of any man or set of men. As mat ter of fact, as has been demon strated time and time again, when the people speak their sen. timents, untrammeled and free ly, about nine times out of ten they will prove to be in the right.
 In the coming election there are many things for the voter to consider, as an individual and he should seek all proper en. hghtenment upon each subject 10 be passed upon; but after all his own good judgment must dictate his course of action. I the law contemplated that you submit your judgment and con duct absolutely to another then mast likely. it would have pro vided that that other should dc all the voting, and have relieved you of the least concern about 1t. But such IS not the case, and If bad laws are adopted or gooG ones are defeated, under the initiative, you, as unit, in the great law making power, are in dividuallv responsible for your part of 1t The right of the bal lot is a serious and most respon sible trust, and should so be re garded by every voter. To live under the benign influence O good and salutary laws is a ben ediction; but to have to bear the infliction of wholesome measures of your own creation is something that should bt avoided, if possible. Post your self. and vote right, if possible to do SO.
