YOUNG MEMS OPPORTUNITY

There are from twelve to fourteen
million bales of cotton raised annually
Every bale has to be classed from one
to four times, seldom by the same man
twice. Until the last five years, there
have been no training schools in this
line, consequently the supply of men
for this work is limited. Again, there
|are being erected in this country thou
sands of warehouses, and every ware
house requires two or three men to
handle the cotton. The Commissioner
of the Market and Warehouse Depart
ments has appointed Board of Exam
liners to examine applicants for license
las Public Cotton Classers. To those
passing a license is issued to engage
in the business of Public CHASING and
to charge for his service. These exam
nations are open to both men and
women. Practically every town and
village where cotton is sold will EN-
lploy one or more licensed Cotton Glass
Iers. The Young man or woman train
led in the Cotton CHASING Department
of our school is in a much better posi-
ton to accept ne Of these places than
one who has learned by guess.

should know the classification. pre-
Seryation and handling Of cotton. 1t
is our leading product and VIII con-
tinue to be- More money is lost each
wear by the farmers on the market
ing Of this product than all other crops
combined. The man raising 1t OFTEN
knows nothing about marketing it, and
is therefore wholly at the mercy of
the man who is buying. The facts are
we lose thousands of dollars each year
for lack of trained men, Some buyers
may grade your cotton Strict Low
Middling, and pay you accordingly
when in reality, your cotton is Mid
ding and you are entitled to the high
er price, which is no small gain. You
see the necessity of knowing how to
grade your own cotton. In four weeks
time, we can prepare you to save this
year more than double the cost OF your
learning, which is only $4,000.
We have been asked, "How do you
teach Cotton CHASING so successfully"
The one answer is this: We believe
the time has come when the farmer
should know more about the market
ing the crop which he labors so
Earnestly to produce; and which
menaS meat bread and clothing to his
family. TO this end, we have equlpp-
ed our department sothat the most
deficient teaching possible may be done.
IOur teachers understand CHASING,
stapling, buying and selling from a
.lpractical standpoint, and are expert in
the training Of students. Our head
teacher of this department is constant
ly in touch with the Agricultural De
partment at Washington D. g., and
Austin, Texas, which lends much to
his strength. We purchase samples In
quantities of three to four thousand, in
addition to the Government Types. For
