Miss Coda Green, who has lucra-
tive position with the Judson Freight
CO., of St. Louis, has been visiting
with her parents near Pennington, and
made us an appreciated call last
week.
Miss Susie Young, cousin Of one
Of our worthy students, Miss Estella
Doss, made us a short visit Monday
evening.
Mrs. Higgins of Flat River was one
Of our recent visitors.
President Moothart was in Flat
River last week planning to estab-
fish branch school. He is very ia
vorably impressed with conditions
and will doubtless begin an active
canvass in the future. Such school
would certainly be a great benefit to
the young people of the Lead Belt
and it is assumed that the citizenship
of that locality will take a special in
terest and see to it that his school is
ready for the summer term work
June 9TH.
Irwin Eaton last week successfully
passed his remaining examinations ir
the bookkeeping department, and has
been awarded our regular diploma foi
that work.
At this time we have call for 6
young woman teacher in shorthand
and typewriting department work ir
prominent business college of Mis-
souri,. We have recommended one Of
our young women and have reasons
| to feel that she will secure the posi-
ton. We have five of our present stu
dents ready to take the Normal train
ing work to properly prepare fol
teachers in business colleges.
Misses Wheeler and Hitzman are
busy, before and after school hours
| turning out a large order of letters

dates for a county Office.
President Moothart duly appreciates
the many flattering comments by thu
different newspapers of this county
as well as other counties where h,
has conducted schools, in regard t.
his candidacy for County Representa-
| tive. Just here it may be in order Il
say that he seeks the position, no
alone as one of honor and trust, blu
realizes that if elected, it will carr,
such political influence that will be o
much advantage to many graduate
of the Ozark Business College. Thos
| interested in the advancement an,
promotion of the young people of 81
| Francois county should not lose sigh
| Of this important feature, and see t
it that Mr.. Moothart is not only give
the nomination, but is elected in No
vember.
