Our January attendance was much better than we expected, as was also our calls from business firms for our graduates. We have enrolled more students and placed more graduates in good positions during January this year than ever before in the history of the school. Business conditions are improving throughout the country and there is an ever increasing demand for young men and women thoroughly and practically trained as hook keepers and stenographers. The wage scale has lx*en raised, which enabled us to place our recent grad in tes at lx*tter salaries than ever liefore. Students may enter at any time and take up the work to the very best advantage. Practically all of our work is taught on the plan of individual instruction. A •lull student is not crowded Ixiyond his capacity nor a bright student held hack and discouraged on ac count of a dull one, hut each indi vidual student is worked to his full cap icily. This i| one reason why you never hear of a dissatisfied student in our school. They always have plenty to d<fc to keep them busy —plenty of practical, interest ing work —something in which they see they are gaining valuable infor mation every minute. It only re quires three months for the average s udent to complete a thorough course in shorthand, four months for Bookkeeping, live months for Bookkeeping and Shorthand com bined. Invest with us a few months’ time and a little money, and your earning capacity is doubled; your opportunities for suc cess throughout life are doubled. Write foi our large illustrated catalog and read what other young men and women have don* ; read what their employers say of their qualifications, and remem Tier while you read it that every statement contained therein is true and cor rect and is hacked by a cash guar anty of 1100.

Williamson, admittedly one of the l*est posted men in the state on matters pertaining to the farm, in discussing agriculture and A RIGHT TO KICK. {J A You’ve a perfect right to kick V if y° ur horse’s shoes come off be- VT fore they are completely worn down. We put ours on*to stay. ye lIS a an d we know you the farms to a News man recently made three remarks that are worthy of record and comment- First, he said that in his opinion the reversi ble disc plow had done more to im prove Georgia farms than any other one agency. That our lands have increased in value during recent years is an admitted fact- We now grow one bale of cotton on the same land that produced only half a few years age. Mr. Williamson Ixdieves the increase is due to deep plowing. So does every other well informed man. That, in its last analysis, means that the best success is not possible for the one hoise farmer. Ix*t him do the best he can his suc uss is limited. He followed this statement with another to the effect that clean cultivation was one of the most destructive agencies in the deterior ation of our land. By this he meai i that farm lands cannot be improved if cultivated continuously in corn and cotton. r system denies the land of humus, which feeds and make the land better. Land should be sown regurlarly at intervasls in rve.oats or wheat followed with peas. This method supplies in part the humus that is so necessary if the land is to improve. Still another significant utterance of Mr. Williamson was, that in his opinion, the sale of fertilizers would be ineieased this year from five to ten per cent, and that he thought this was wise. He says that the deeper the land is plowed the more fertilizers can he used with safety and profit. All over this section many farmers have already broken the land for another crop, using two and three horses to the plow. All lands prepared thus can use, and should be supplied with more plant food", than if prepared under the old order of shallow plowing. If broken with one horse, 200 pounds of guano to the acre is sufficient, whereas, if two or three horses are used, and the land plowed deep, four to six hundred pounds can lie useb with profit. Mr. Williamson is right iu all nis conclusion, lx*cause they are based on demonstrated scientific principles. —The Com merce News. Schedule Seaboard Air Line EASTWARD.
