amount of damage, provided the bales
are on dunnage and are rolled over
after a train so they may dry out

prevent a certain amount of loss in
weight by protecting the cotton from
the sun. For its weight and size a
bale of cotton is the most valuable
farm product grown in the Valley,
and therefore is entitled to as much
care as any of the other crops pro-

The teaching profession Is q noble, work in the charity department of your state when they allow you no pension or protection in old age? Are you will ing to go into the great broad fields of business where you can lay up some thing for, Il rainy day. and provide your own protection for old age? Six thou sand teachers quit the profession in Texas annually Can you blame them when you compare their annual earning capacity with that of any other class ot educated men or women? The book keeper. stenographer, private seere- tary. or operator. as a beginner gets from $50. 00 to S75, 0o per month. twelve months in the year. and soon receives an advance in salary and 1t Is not long if they are made of the right kind of stuff before they are promoted to as sistant manager, or manager of large business concern, or engage in business for themselves and are thereby enabled to lay up n comfortable living for old age Make a comparison of the teach er, who after graduating from the high school spends from one to two years in the State Normal and hundreds of dol lars preparing himself. and has been teaching five years in the public schools. with the bookkeeper. stenographer. or operator who has only spent from three to six months Tn obtaining hls education after graduating from high school. and from one hundred to two hun dred dollars and has had five years ex- perience in the business world. and you will find that the one who has spent only few months in obtaining his edu- cation and a small amount of money is drawing twice the salary of the teacher regardless of the fact that the teacher spent more time and money in the pre- paration for their life work More evi- dence on this subject can be had by writing the Tyler Commercial College at Tyler.

as fine an opportunity as exists to
the American youth who wishes to
