The total taxable acreage of

of Wellston really desires it and
then sets about putting his de
sires into excution by doing
what is within his power to do.
It doesn’t require any super-
natural gift to see that Wellston
needs something to lift her from
out the ruts into which she has
fallen and it doesn’t, require any
logic or mental efforts to know
that our town needs an organ-
ized effort among her buiness
men. We lack co-operation,
we lack that friendly business
spirit—tin t confidential r e 1 a-
tionship that must exist be-
tween the business men of every
town before that town prospers.
The lack of confidence lias
broken up thousands of homes
over our land ; the lack of con-
fidence has destroyed the busi-
ness interests of town, county
and state. It is a matter of re-
cent history that our own a a-
'(177 ''i i
tton was thrown into a financial | " '
disturbance because confidence
had fallen below par and that
the only thing that saved our
country from absolute destitu-
tion and eventually destruction
was the restoration of confidence
throughout our land. And
what is true of a nation, a state,
a county, or of a township is
true of a town because our na-
tion is made up of the parts of
our several cominunites.
The report will show the state
has 539,701 horses, valued at
$29,036,481 ; mules and asses,
209,258, valued at $15,100,705;

elegant rooms, fine equipment,
and the thorough courses which
we have. Some of the best ed-
ucation teachers in the State
visited us and assured us that
it would be a pleasure to rec-
ommend our school and they
hoped that all young men and
young women expecting to take
a business course will call on us
and see our superior advant-
ages.
There is no doubt in the
world but what we have twice
as large a school as any other
in the State and with corre-
spondinly better advantages.
We had two hundred and
twenty-five students in daily at-
tendance in December and will
have about three hundred in
January. It pays to attend a
large school, for they can afford
to have the verp best equipment
teachers and other advantages,
and this is the only kind that
can fit a person for the best po-
sitions.
Cheap, tuition means cheap
teachers.
Cheap teachers means cheap
instruction.
Cheap instruction means a
business tailure in the business
world, for business men want
rone but qualified help. It is
not like buying merchandise, or
a horse, or something that you
can sell again, but if you make
a mistake in a school, you sim-
ply cannot rectify it.
To show you that we know
we have superior advantages
we are willing to refund evety
students every cent of his money
if lie fails to hold a position af-
ter graduating from our school.

ing to be by all odds the best

fill more than half of them. The
-ttccess of a school lies in its
ability to place its students.
Some schools say that they can
not fill the positions offered
them, because they do not turn
out but few students, but in
our case we are continually
turning out good students and
filling more positions than any
other school in the state. Busi-
ness men patronize the best
schools, for there is where they
get the best help.
