lb ader have you ever noli, -d
in reading the advertisments of the
Capital City Businc - - Collegi of
< iuthrie. that the ails alway- -aid
something delinate? They did not
say "It will not in our opinion
be thus and so," or "If you can
see it as we do," it strikes right at
the point, it tells you positively
that they have the best systems,
the best teachers, the best employ-
ment bureau and that they secure
for their students the best salaried
positions; they tell you why this is
true. They do not stop at simply
telling you, but hack every state-
ment by a cash guaranty that not
even a competitor has dared to
challenge. A student at any time
during his course or at its comple-
tion, not finding the school to lie
as advertised, can, by handing in a
written statement to the ollice to
that pffett, receivo every cent of
his tuition back and his railroad
fare will he paid both fro.11 his
home and return. It is simply a
case of genuine goods, the Capital
City Business College delivers the
good, so to gpeak it has tlieni to de-
liver, and there are no iIs and anils
about it; that is why it is today
the largest School of Bookkeeping.

The hill for the sale of the school
lands has boon raqliiring the atten-
tion of the Senate this week. The
Eggeriiian-Cordell-Morris bill has
been under consideration and will
likely be amended and beoome a

to provide for the sale of all the

F. S. Bailiff, of Ada. is one of
the best lawyers ill the House. He
does not butt into every little dis-

cussion.
It is the general opinion around
