And at the aame time thaae cot-

any raiae which may coma in the
price. The farmers of this com-
munity are deserving ot better
remuneration for their work than
they are getting and should have
| the best.
But an over supply of cotton is
raised every year and the thing
for the Oklahoma farmer to do
is to raise more feed and live
stock, The country is adapted
to this and the cost of production
is very small as compared to
cotton.
The dairy business might also
be made to pay well as a side
line. Secure the best cows and
there is always a good market
for dairy products at good prices

Prompt Action will Stop
You* Cough
When you first c«*tch a cold
(often indicated by a sneeze or a
cough), break it up at once. The
‘dea that “it does not matter”
often leads to serious complica-
tions. The remedy which imme-
diately and easily penetrates the
lining of the throat is the kind
demanded. Dr. King’s New
Discovery soothes ehe irritation,
loosens the phlegm. You feel
better at once. “It seemed to
reach the very spot of my cough’
is one of many honest testimoni-
als. 50c at your druggist.

What it Means to Decide
A 15 year old boy from Amos,
Okla.. studied shorthand for
three months, then began work-
ing for the Santa Fe railroad Co
at $50 per month in 1908. Since
1912 he has been drawing $150
per month in the chief dispatch-
er’s office with the Santa Fe in
Chicago.
Bn eighth grade girl from
Okeene, Okla., finished short-
hand and typewriting in three
months and began working as
stenographer «t $25 per month
in 1909. At present she is hold-
ing a government position at a
salary of $1600 per year.
These went to Guthrie to busi-
ness college and received the
training there that has made a
success.
It pays te advertise and it pays
to investigate. More of the
young men and girls of the com-
munity should decide to look in-
to the work at Guthrie.
You would take a course in
the Capital City Business Col-
lege if you knew it wdtold make
you quick money. Many of our
}oys and girjs would go this
winter, if they knew ths suc-
cess for the many boys and girls
who have attended the Guthrie
school.
The Capital City Business Col-
lege will move to its new home
on the third floor of the Guthrie
State Capital Buildin Chrismas
weak. The entire floor space
of 7200 feet is being arranged
now to meet the demands of the
school. Every necessity for a
first class business school is
being provided for up-to-date
work.
The Guthrie school has the
Oklahsma right to Byrne Sys-
tems and young people save
from two to four months time
over any others shool in the
state.
Young man, young woman,
you can make good in a short
time if you go to Guthrie for
business You can finish the
shorthand and typewriting
course in three months, the
bookkeeping course in about
four months, or oltogether in
about six months.
We have boys and girls here
who couid go to Guthrie and
soon be able to hold state posi-
tions or any kind of positions in
