HAD 1T EVER OCCURRED TO YOU?

Had it ever occurred to you that you
had as well try to be a successful
physician without attending a medical
school, or a successful lawyer without
attending a law school, or a successful
minister without attending q theOlOg-
ical school, as to Try to be a successful
banker or merchant or business man
Of any kind without first being train
ed for business in the Tyler CONNER
cial College. You would attend a
university with a reputation if you
wanted to make a first class doctor.
lawyer or minister. Why not use the
same good judgment in selecting a bust
ness school in which to secure your
training? The Tyler Commercial Col
lege Of Tyler, Texas, is the business
university of the South; it eLrolls more
students annually than any other SINH
lar school in America. Its students
have come from 80 different states and
eight foreign countries: its graduates
are holding the very best of positions
in the leading cities of the United
States.
If you will spend from $4,000 to
$4,000 for tuition. board and books
for a course of Shorthand, Bookkeep-
ing, Telegraphy, Penmanship, Cotton
CHASING, Business Administration and
Finance or Wireless Telegraphy and
Telephony, or better still, spend $780,
10 to $4,000 and complete any three
OF these courses, you will have made
the best investment of your life. What
ing man or woman with grit and de-
termination cannot raise this amount?
Hundreds of students who borrowed
every cent of the money to attend this
school, or gave their note for part of
their tuition, will readily tell you it
was the best venture of their lives:
they were soon able through the good
position secured them by the college,
to pay what they owed and continue
to hold their good positions or 90 into
business for themselves and succeed.
II you always remain where you are,
you will always be what you are. Think
this statement over seriously. More
than 800 new students, before this
month closes, will be added to the ff-
teen hundred that are now here. Why
not you be among the number? You
can enter any day and take up the

surfacing of the highway from Mont
pelier to the Utah State line would
have to be financed by the State and
County.
The total amount available being
only $132,54350 and the route be-
tween Montpelier and the Wyoming
State line being held up by reason
of the action of the Federal Govern
ment in connection with the Wyo-
ming z per cent system. it appears
that the best action is to apply the
available Federal Aid on that por-
tion of the Idaho Pacific Highway
between Georgetown and the Carl
bou County line, together with an
equal amount of State and County
funds. This would leave available
an additional s32,500.OO Of State
and County funds for application
either on this section or on some
other section of the Idaho Pacific
highway, 100000 might not be suf
ficient to connect Georgetown will
the County line on Federal Aic
standard. The question of the ap
plication of the $32.500.00 on thi
project, or It's use on another portion
Of the highway is therefore to b.
considered.
The representatives of Bear LAX
County will submit this question up
on their return home, and will ad
! wise the department as to the con
clusions reached. II was urged Ut
} on them that this matter be decide
} without delay in order that the Fed
/ eral Aid project between Georgetow
s and the Caribou County line Nigh
be filed at an early date.

GEORGETOWN PLAY
PRESENTED WELL

A medium sized and appreciatiVe
audience greeted the Georgetown
Dramatic club at the Gem Theatre
last Friday evening when that orga-
nixation presented THE Iron Hand"
"a comedy drama In four acts. Some
little interest was lost by the audi
ence ewing to unusual long waits be-
tween acts. but this was made up by
the splendid speciaities presented.
The first speciality was q singing and
dancing stunt by Mrs. II. Tippets ac-
companied by Marcella Collett at the
piano. Between the second and
third acts THE Goofy Gang" sang
comic selection. and the third was
comic recitation by Alma N. Mel
sen, which was we'll received.
Ernest P. Hotf as Oliver Montford
bold and fearless, acted good. and
was well supported by Ikey, the Jew
character; played by r. d. Paine.
Edwin e. Pinckney IS Jack Minton
and Miss Jennie Pinckney. as Bella,
his sister, both wards OF Oliver
Montford, we're good. as was also
Alma N. Nielsen as Harmon Van
Dorm, the wealthy young artist. Lou
ise Petersen as MIRA. Dibble. posi-
tive widow acted her part splendidly,
and DeNina Hayes as Lizzie. her
daughter and wife OF Jack Minton
rendered valuable assistance 20 the
members or the cast. Kate Nielsen
as Hannah a servant. and Alvin ID
Petersen, also servant, took minor
parts.
The "Goofy Gang was composed
of Joseph Bee, Thornton Young
william johnson and Frances hunk
Their singing was we'll rendered.
Half the net proceeds Of the PLAY
was to have gone TO the stake taber
nacle maintenance fund. but from re
ports the company did not clear ex
renses. The fact that the play wa
not better attended is because OF tn
fact that the same evening a leagu
basket ball game was on between

OF
LOCAL FARMERS

Efforts to organize the farmers in
the Montpelier district have been at
tempted by a few enterprising men
upon many occasions, and to date
these efforts have all been In vain.
Similar efforts were made last win
ter: the winter before and goodness
knows how many more times. the
farmers of this district apparently.
are not aware OF the benefits that
are derived In their favor through
organization. Every farmer should
be a member OF the county farm bu-
reau, and this is particularly impor-
tant at this very time. Right now
efforts are being put forth I'm Wash
ington to put over legislation design
ed to benefit the tillers Of the soil,
and If the forces behind this move
ment are going to be deprived Of the
CO. operation OF the farmers through
out the country, then the farmers
have no one else to blame for q con-
tinuation of present conditions than
themselves.
To get to the point, we wish to
call attention of the farmers OF this
distlict-the Montpelier district-
that meeting was called for last
Thursday at the city hall for the
purpose of talking organization. and
there were actually rIve farmers in
attendance. Nothing was accom-
plished, OF course, because the five
live wires who attended could moi
act and speak for all the others, sC
the five decided to trust to good for
tune once more, and have called an
other meeting to be held at the same
place Thursday evening, February
"a, at 1880 p. m.
Every man and woman who dc
pends upon the soil for livelihood
should attend this meeting and learI
first-handed what is being done II
an effort to help this noble profes
sion. Legislation which is nov
pending before congress and handles
by the much-talked-of Farm Bloc
Is for the benefit OF every farmer 4
the United States, and in order :
support the men who are trying t
do something for you, you must b
organized, and the farm bureau ci
fers Just such an opportunity.
} Don't forget this most importan
, meeting. The date is Thursday. Eel
= ruary 23 at 1880 p. m, at the Nom
j pelier City Hall.
