Six months teaching in the public' schools at a salary of $60 per month Is $360 a year. $360 divided by 12 months gives salary of $30 per month Ten dollars off for board leaves a net salary of $20 a mouth—less than, the wages of a common laborer,who has not spent n cent In preparation for his job. $60 for twleve months is offered. Who makes this bid for your time? We answer, the Commer cial World. You are needed in busi ness; will you accept the highest sal ary? A salary of $60 a month is $720 a year. $720 divided by 12 months i3 $60 a moni’ih; deduct from ten to fifteen dollars for board, and you have a net salary of from $15 to $50 clear, as compared with $20 net sal ary at teaching. How can this dif ference in salavy be secured? The answer to this question lias be&n found by thousands who have completed course in Book-keeping and Short hand in Atlanta Commercial College. 24Mi Whitehall St., Atlanta, Ga., and are now enjoying salaries far In cess of the figures named above.

Remember there are Fertilizers and Fertilizers, some worth more money, some worth less, of “same analysis." THIS THING OF “SAME ANALYSIS,” as printed on the bags of an absentee manufacturer, is no sign that the fertilizer is made without filler, or of the same valu able ingredients; or that it is as thoroughly mixed, or that it contains as much plant tood in any proportion. The state inspection is unequal to the task ot regulat ing these details in the consumer's interest. You are almost dependent on the honesty, and surely on the in telligence, care and skill of the manufacturer for pro tection in these matters. WITH 1 HE FARMERS OF CARROLL and surround ing counties, the management of this company feels that it has a community of interest prompting it to make and offer every year fertilizers equal to the best that can be made by anybody anywhere, and so. contribute to bountiful harvests and prosperity in the section where the lot ot the company is cast. Our equipment and facilities are right for this purpose.
