FOR LARGER PUBLIC
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
Money paid for education is
the best investment. Time thus
spent is wisely used. Time is
money and oppurtunity as
well, if it is uqeci aright. Bus-
iness men work during the
summer; fa.mers do the same;
then what's the sense in big
lioys and girls spending vaca
tlons in idleness, in wasting
precious weeks of the few
years of preparation for life?
Most ambitious boys and girls
would rather spend vacation
}i> tearing something that wijl
fit them to earn a fine sal
ary than in loafing. Many
such spend their vacations
wifl) us and fin4 our sipp-
mer work the most instruct
ive, practical and useful, they
have ever had, One vacation
ppeflt w)th us will prepare any
young person of average abil-
ity to earn a living and
more, He who cares more
for success than heat goes
far ahead of him who waits
till cool weather to study.
Moreover, our systems can
be mastered during vacation,
ft thing pot true of any other.
Complete a course of Book
keeping and Shorthand with
us, and we will place you
in a good position. Write for

CRYING
"FAIR PLAY"
Tn one of the i s s u e r
the "Daily Oklqhfjipan"
week, wp flnd an ' article
an ari-icie 1 «
wherein Oklahoma City cries for '';,,l "
^ Fair Play," relative to the 'New favors to the capital and the peo
thing when they see it.
VVe all kno^r of lost opportuni-
ties, the point is, we are the
fellow on the other side courting
the same thing. what is the
matter WITH davenport as
a Capital site? It lies so near the
geographical center of th# state,
located on two trunk lines and
is accessible from the north, east,
west and south. Very few people
find it necessary, to go to
■Shawnee, Elreno, Outline or Ok
lahoma City to change oars to
get to Davetuwt,, but many
people are forced to come to Dav-
enpot and transfer for points
named above.
Davenport is a beautiful little
city, every one who comes within
her gates are fascinated with
its location, and charmed with
| 'he business outlook. Als0 it lias
'enterprises in view that means
much to the city. The countrv
around lays most beautiful, being
bom posed of rich fertile farming
lands. A t^ure accomodating

where.
