Favorable Prospects Of
Business College 10

Baton Rouge Educator lnves-
tigadng Conditions With
The Intention OF Establish
ing Such An Institution, t
Signs Are Advantageous

Prof. E. P. Moses of Baton Rouge is
in Morgan City on business in comes
ton with the probable establishment OF
a business college here. He seemed
pleased with conditions here and init
mated that the prospects for such
school being put into operation was very
favorable. Many contingencies enter
into the probability Of such an enter
prise being inaugurated, he said, and a
definite decisions could not be reached
at the present time. If favorable,
announcement will be made at an early
date.
Prof. Moses stated that business col
leges all over the country were very
much on the boom. This is due he stat
ed to the great need of business trained
people, especially stenographers, in tho
Government service. Along this line the
Times Picayune publishes the following

training Of girls:

CHALCEDONY PARK
The Wonders of the Petrified Forest

Nineteen miles east of Holbrook is
ChalcedOney Park, the most interest

Arizona. While petrifaction is com

Great Basin, Chalcedony Park is right
ly entitled to the distinction of being
the greatest and most perfect of them
ALL
The country around the Park is un-
dulating and in places quite broken.
Vegetation is sparse, consisting of
light mantling of grass, scattered
shrubs and cactus. Weird and pic
turesquely wild is the scene which
presents itself in every direction; the
fallen monarchs of some prehistoric
forest, from four to six feet in diane
ter, and one hundred to one hundred
eighty feet long, and almost as hard
as diamond, are strewn around in
prOfusiOn. Each year the action of
the elements expose more and more
of the rich trophies of past ages.
Where the sandy surface has not al
ready been worn away by the ele-
ments there apparently exists be-
meath, countless tons of petrifed wood.
The question which suggests itself
to a speculative mind is, "How comes
this petrifaction? ?' There seems to be
but one answer. The entire country

BOXERS TO help
GET FUNDS FOR

Dan Morgan Has Plan Which

the Country.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The boxers
Of the entire country have the oppor-
tunity at hand to get out to do some
thing that will bring more glory to
themselves than they did. in the main,
during the progress Of the world war.
II was Dan Morgan, the loquacious
manager OF fighters, who hit upon the
plan Of organizing all knights Of the
ring into a society, whose duty II would
be TO help entertain our wounded and
disabled soldiers who lie in the various
hospitals throughout the country, and
10 whom any sort of entertainment
and amusement helps to while away
the long hours in the hospitals.
A great many boxers have done what
they could TO make the lives of our
heroes happier, But that great many
is only too few. Those who have helped
out could be counted by a kid I'm a
Kindergarten class. The helpers have
not shtrked from their work, but when
called upon are ever ready to go any
place TO help out in the benefit work.
But there is a limit to endurance. even
in a boxer. and those who have been
working SO nobiy. without a complaint,
remember, are beginning to show the
effects of the grind.
They have been at II for several
months now, have those few entertain

LIKE PLAYING MANAGERS.

playing managers this season, for with
only seven Class A men allowed on a
