Getters train of eight coaches ar-
rived in Davenport last Monday
morning a few minutes after
their schedule time 8:32, The
crowd that greeted the boosters
was evidently a surprise to them,
judging from their many exp^ss-
ions of pleasure ;;t theenthnsias-
tic welcome. 1!)6 school children,
under the command of their
teachers, were drawn up in line
and made a showing that caused
the vi itors to sit up and take
notice from the very start. There
were probably 400"people at the
depot altogether.
The boosters headed by the
band and followed by the child-
ren formed in line and marched
to the corner of Broadway and
first street wh«re Ohimcelor
Bradford of Epworth University
made a shott adiress, express-
ing his appreciation of the hearty
welcome.
Although the train way sched-
uled to stop only 15 minutes
considerable more than that
time was consumed before the I
boosters _were allowed to leive ;
"Who"am vou for for t.ln>
Capital?" was a frequent ques
tion. "'Davenport first, andi
Oklahoma City next" was the
almost invariable reply. Wheth-
er or not tbi' expressions made
on this matter were an iiulica
tion of the sentiment in this sec
tion, remains to be seen, but
they were such a big, clean,
capable lot of f;Hows that one
instinctively felt that, whatever
they made up their minds to do
was as good as done. Such im
pressions always inspire conti
deuce in people like otirs who
like to see things done.

The survival of the fittest Is a rule in
this day and time. The young man or
wom->n who is honest, industrious, ac-
curate, mannerly, propoi-lj^edueated,
etc.. succeeds far better than the one
who is lacking in part of the essentials.
The formergoea into business and makes
a success; the latter makes only a par-
tial success, if any. The boy who wins
in a fair and square foot race does it
because of his ability to out run the rest
of the bunch. The same is ti ne in (he
race through business life; the one who
possesses the best qualifications) for
business success will come out winner.
The same is also true of educational in-
stitutions.

We have reduced the buying and selling of millinery to a

asked by others. We save you big money on every purchase. This
saving item coupled with the expert workmanship, splendid ma-

square deal to every one. never adver-
tising anything but facts, seeinr that
every graduate was placc d in a go0d
position, introducing modern methods
and systems, such as (lie Brynt- Sim-
plified Shorthand, which holds the
world's record for spec.1, legibility, rnd
accuracy, the Byrne Practical Book-
keeping, which i. ache3 not only book-
ke.pjng but business as well. With
these systems they turn out a more
proficient stenographer or bookkeeper
than o'hc schools teaching other
systems, and do it in half their time
Byn-e systems go straight to the train-
ing demanded by the man in the busy
office. Some of our competitors may
tell you that we cannot make good our
claims. Why, then, don't they ask for
our $100 guarantees which we place in
our advertising matter, guaranteeing
that every statement we tnake is true
and correct? They may till you that
they can do as well as we. If they can,
whe, then, have they small schools to-
day, while we have the largest of the
kind in the state? They svere in the
race many years before the Capital
City Business College. We do not ex-
pect our competitors to admit that all
we snv is true, for if they did, thev
would have to close their doors for want
of patronage, for we claim to do, in
fact we guarantee to bo, almost tsvice
what they are doing. It is notsomuch
their fault: they would teach the fam-
ous Byrne Systems if they could get
them, but we hold the copyrights and
will illow no other business college in
this part of the country to teach the
systems.
