This is proven by u the fact that this iMstitdtion is the largest school of bookkeeping, bus;. ness training, sho'"thand, typewriting - and telegraphy in Ame,';ca. They use s their own specially prepared text books in almost every denaactment, 3 text books prepared from the stand point of what the business world de i mands, rather than tnat of the theo i retical school room. Some me-chants are able to do twice the business of k others, with the same ca&pital invested. c This is due to the difference of ihe \ methods of the two men. The sane C is true of business colleges; the reason s that one secure a la 'er patronage, c gives a more thorough training, tl places more of its graduates into bigh 9 salaried positions is because of its a superior methods. te We will be glad to see our ambiti. ous young men and women write for a free catalogue of the Tyler Commer cial College of Tyler, Texas, that they E may see what other young people vi have accomplished after spending a th few months in this, America's great- CI est business training school. fr -. . -- In SHOCKIfIG SOUNDS m, in the earth are sometimes heard be fore a terrible earthquake, that warn th of the coming peril.

"The objects of the Congress shall be (1) to promote and to diffuse know ledge concerning the reclamation of lands in all those states of the Union where drainage reclamation would be beneficial, and also concerning the artificial application of water to lands requiring irrigation in such regions; (2) to promote nav*gat;on by means of canals built ;or drainage and by improvement of the natural streams into wh;ch sruch canals are Jdischaeed; (3)to conserve and im pound water for drainage, humid-land irrigation, or flood p"otection pu," uoses; (4) to conserve and control natu al resources pertain;ng to agri culture:(5) to restore and preserve soils by rotat;on, fe'vilization, and overliow of silt:(6)to remove the men ace to the public health of the Nation which the presence of undrained low. lands constitutes;(;) to facilitate con ference and deliberation among the people of the country concerning d'-ainage and related interests, espec ially to promote agreement and con certed action among those organiza t:ons interested in the conservation and proper ut'lization of on-' natural resources to the end that uoited efforts may be towards ag'eed-upon ultimate 6 resiltls; and (8) to provide me:ans for bringing the needs o' the country be fore State and Federal governments.
