A Record Most
Con1nendable


Roy A. Miller, son Of Prof. Geo. A,
Miller, superintendent of the Ozark
Business College of this city, who
has recently been attending the Gregg
Business Schoolin Chicago, where he
is taking a special course in teachers
training and school management, last
week won first honors in typewriting
contest in which teachers from all
parts of the United States were en-
tered. The Gregg school is head
quarters of the famous Gregg short.
hand, and has many attendants from
all sections of the country, among
whom are some of the most expert
typewriters.
The contest in which Roy Mile,
made the best record was participated
in by the Normal Class, consisting OF
teachers representing colleges from
many States in the Union, and the
fact that he scored the highest marx
is not only the best possible recon-
mendation of the very proficient meth
DDS that are employed in the OZARK
Business College of this city, but is
record of which all Farmingtonians
can feel justly proud. In that contest
Roy wrote 763 words in ten minutes
with but two errors. And yet Roy is
still in his teens. He has charge of The
typewriting and banking departments
in his fathers college.
Under the very efficient and capa.
BILE management Of Prof. Miller the
Ozark Business College is coming K
be recognized as one of the bes
schools in this State. In order to re.
ceive his commentator all work must
come up to high degree of excel.
lcnce, as he is most careful ans
scrutinizing of all work, and does moi
believe in overlooking details. Sine
taking charge of this college about q
year ago, both the attendance and in
terest of pupils has been built "
wonderfully, until now there is al.
ways a constant demand for gradu.
ates from the Ozark Business COllegt
for positions of trust and responsible,
ity. Prof. Miller is also 100 per cent
American, and is doing everything ii
his power to assist his government ir
these strenuous times. For such rea
son this school will not dismiss during
this summer, not even during August
but is continuing throughout the sum.
mer months with an unusually largt
attendance during the period usually
given over to vacation.

condition in St. Luke's Hospital in St.

essary that some treatment be given.

and on consulting a specialist an OPP
Grafton was considered necessary.
The operation was performed Monday
morning in the st. Lukc's Hospital
and Mrs. Fisher has been in serious
condition since. Latest report is that

This section of country was visited

This section of country was visited
by splendid rain Tuesday afternoon,
which did worlds of good for growing

night was even more satisfactory,
continuing with a gentle fall prac-
tically throughout the night and well
into Wednesday. 1t not only fur
nished abundance of moisture for
present needs, but also cooled the

growing crops the fullest benefit Of
