SCHOOL TEACHERS

Continue what you are and where you are and you are what and where you will always be. The world of wage-earners is a world of hopers, wishers, and hesitators, held down by foolish doubts and empty fears. End less thousands of bright, fine fellows whose wish bone is where their back bone ought to be, are excusably afraid halting, timid, clinging with the drowning man, grasp to their slender salaries, because they think business is a mystery and they can never learn to transact it.
 do more in this life or you will always be seeing other men that are better dressed getting more out of life, more of this worlds enjoyments and com forts than you. We can point you to hundreds of young men and women no smarter than you that are now suc- cessfully and happily engaged in a business of their own, because they attended our institution, took course of bookkeeping and shorthand or business administration, and finance, and prepared themselves to go into the business office and work along with trained men and become masters of the art of doing businss.
 Business is not a happy go-lucky, haphazard sort of a thing. If you understand it thoroughly, you are sure to succeed. If you have never been trained, it is all left to luck and guess work.
 Write for our catalogue today and read the unsolicited testimonials from many of our former students who are today demonstrating their success and the value of our training. Opportuni- ty never comes to him who waits. It comes to him who goes after it with all there is in him, with deep, burn | ing, intense iron resolve of his inmost being. Read our catalogue carefully. Why not you be one of the 2000 that will go out of our institution this year 1 into a good business office. Procras- tination is a thief of time. Fill in the following blank and send in by return mail. It may be the turning point in your life.

Restricting
Immigration,

! Restricted immigration is like
the ghost ia the fable-it ALWAYS
comes back. Presidents have
vetoed the b,ll enacted by Con.
gress. establishing the litcracy
test and restricting immigration
but that never has prevented new
bills coming before latter Con
crosses. The present bill has
many sensible provisions; but it
is dIstasteiul to the Japanese
Government inasmuch AS II prac.
ticaiIy restricts people coming
from that country to the United
States. The Japanese have, of
their own accord, prevented their
cit'zens from immigrating to this
country, aud there IS no danger
that they will raise the bars.
California Congressman say that
the Japanese have been in abso.
lutte control OF immigration, and
admit that they have kept faith
with the United States. However
there seem to be some peonle
about Washington who are never
content unless they are stirring
up the Japanese situation. This
feature OF the immigration bill
mas attracted a great deal Of
attention.

Corporation and
Democracy.

a unique way or standpoint in
considering corporations is that
given by Dr.. Eliot Of Harvard IN
a recent lecture. He regards the
corporation and especially the
pubic utility corporation AS the
great support of free institutions

opposed to paternalism and con.
sequent oppression on the part
OF the government. We draw the
natural conclusion that socia]is.

MANURE PILES ARE
DANGEROUS PLACES
Favorite Breeding Spot for Sta
BILE FIy-AnimaI Refuse Should
Be Spread at Once.

Although straw is the PRINCIPAL
breeding place for the stable fly in
the grain belt, thousands of them de-
velop in manure piles. The house fly
and horn fly also breed extensively
mere and therefore the greatest care
should be used in dealing with this
animal refuse.
Manure should be hauled ont ard
scattered at regular intervals and any
accumulations OF straw or hay, espe-
cially adjacent to stables, should be
disposed of. Stable manure being
usually in close proximity to human
habitations, the flies from it have
freer access to man to disseminate
human diseases.

urged the people of the city to submit
