Be 4 High Glass Stenographer.

Steno is the greatest single forward
step in the history of rapid writing.
1t makes the typewriter do double
duty, record dictation as we'll as tran
scribe it. 1t uses the abbreviation
power of the English language the
same as in Byrne Simplified Short
hand but with printed characters on
any standard make of typewriter in
stead of with the pencil. The type
writer has proved to be the most eff
ficient of modern Office appliances.
The business man likes it because it
enables him to turn out his cores
pondence with speed and accuracy.
But he has realized that there was
still weakness in his correspondence
from the fact that what he dictated
was recorded first with the erring
pencil and that which did not go
down correct could not come back
correct.
He now welcomes Steno because he
sees his dictatiOn 60 down accurately
in print to come back accurately
transcribed.
Steno is simple because it is done
mechanically. 1t is legible because it is
print. 1t is rapid because it is written
on the typewriter with eight nimble
fingers instead of the hand cramped
around pencil.
Steno notes are interchangeable. 1t
is SO legible that one stenographer
can read another's notes. Steno may
be written at a good commercial rate
of speed with pencil in the absence
of typewriter.
There perhaps, never was system
of note takino that has caused SO
much favorable comment as has
Steno. 1t il admitted to be the logical
way. Steno meets the Civil Service
and court room test as well as being
successfully used on associated press
work.
This most modern method of note
taking can only be had in this part Of
the country at the Tyler Commercial
College, Tyler, Texas, the school
that is not only the largest of the kind
in America, but does the most through
practical work in Bookkeeping, Short
hand, Steno, Telegraphy, Cotton
CHASING and Business Administration
and Finance.
A large beautifully illusti ated cat
alogue will be sent free to those who
will mail in this coupon.

REGISTER IF YOU WANT TO VOTE.

In short while an election will be
called to vote two mill tax in aid of
the public schools of the parish and
every man should register so as to be
able to vote at that election. This is
a most important matter. The schools
have TO be properly provided for and
the parish finances have to be taken
care of, and special tax is the only
way to meet Doth ends, so therefore
register, so you can vote at this i'm
portant election.

GENERAL BOTHA WARNS
BOERS AGAINST ATTEMPTS
TO WAR ON BRITAIN

Capetown. South Africa, June S.-iBy
Nlaip-A grave warning against propa-
ssnda aiming at the political independ-
ence OF South Africa has been issued
broadcast by General Botha- His state
ment follows
members Of the South African party
must not allow themselves 20 be misled
by false and misleading propaganda for
independence. The proposal is now be
ing made merely to win votes al the
provincial council elections by an ap-
peal to sentiment. and not to the sound
sense Of the people.
The proposal is wholly impracticable,
and is moreover very dangerous, for in
the present war conditions II can only
lead TO bitterness. division, race hatred
and even civil war.
There Is in South Africa a strong
English population whose motherland is
now engaged in a life and death strug-
gle. II is not surprising that they re-
gard this movement as reasonable and
disloyal. 1t is unjust and dishonorable
10 make such an attempt at this mo-
ment, and the dishonor is all the greater
as the proposal is only intended TO
catch votes for particular party.
Ny warning is intended very earnest
iy. because / foresee in this movement
nothing but ruin for South Africa and
disastrous consequences for the South
African people. l appeal above all to
our pioneers and the fathers Of our peO-
pie to follow the safe way OF honor,
along which a great future awaits US.

fairly started. esconced himself in the
shelter Of an overhanging ~brae." Be
side him he deposited the lunch has
ket. gaff and landing net. and then.
the weather being "saft." hoisted his
umbrella. Having made himself quite
comfortable. he drew a newspaper
from his pocket and was soon deeply
absorbed in the latest financial news.
Anon he was aroused from his
studies by piercing shrieks. His wife
must be drowning. he thought. SO,
leaving all else behind save the UNI
brella he held. he tore down the river
side in the direction OF the sounds.
Some 200 yards off he found his bride
but far from drowning She stood
knee deep in the river with bending
rod. holding a beautiful five-pound
grllse. which now, exhausted with its
struggles. lay broadside on the surface
Of the water.

But. my dear. didn't bring it."
