Good Suggestion
The Enterprise has always con-
tended that Rockport needed a
Commercial Club-more so now
than any other time. But an org-
anization of this kind cannot be
dominated over by a half dozen
men and made a success. It is
something in which every man in
Rockport should take member
ship and have the right to voice
his opinions in the meetiings.—
Rockport Enterprise.
Good advice, Bro. Gaffney, but
we fear that you are wasting your
sweetness on the desert air.” Bet-
ter move j'-our town to Aransas
Pass where the lion and the lamb
lie down together.
■K Bakery.
C. n. Ford of Sinton is arrang-
ing to put in a new and up-tc-c!ate
bakery in this city. He is an ex-
perienced baker and comes highly
recommended. He will retaitf']
his bakery in Sinton but sdys the
JANE’© HARD LUCK.
“Jane is in hard luck. She threw
■an apple peeling over her left shoul-
der and wishes she hadn’t.”
“What was the trouble.
‘‘Why, the peeling fell on the
ifloor and young Stubbing, the
wealthy cub she expected to marry,
[’slipped on it and kicked over the
i hall table £kd jarred three pictures
off their hooks, and made his nose
bleed—and now he .won’t speak to
her.”
Miss Elizabeth Calhoun enter-'
tained a crowd of her little friends*
last Saturday evening with a *affy
pulling and lawn party at the home
of Mrs. Murphy. The Spacious
lawn made a fine play ground for
the youngsters and they all had a
jolly time.
MAN'S WEAKNESS.
“Are you one of those,” she asked,
“who think man is woman’s supe-
rior ?”
"No, inched,” he replied. “Where
| is there a man who would be able
:to go about with his arms and chest
; bared to the winter winds, to say
■nothing of wearing shoes that cov-
ered only his heels and toesf One
day of that sort of thing in this eli-
m-ate would send’ the strongest nwm
among us to the hospital.”
For Exchange—Modern eight room house
on paved street, close in, thirty five by
seventy two feet ground. Nine hundred
dollar mortgage on place. Will take
smaller town property clear. Wish to
try Texas climate for health. Address
Mrs. M. E. Wykoffi 319, S. Francis St.,
Wichita Kansas. 4t
The truckers at Ingleside are
shipping vegetables north. They
sent a man here Monday to em-
ploy pickers. Pelham and family
were among those secured here.

HIS is your opportunity to | secure a choice bay front lot in
the original townsite that will make you a small fortune in
a few years. We have secured the exclusive right to han-
die this choice property, known as the. Cameron interests,
and this is the first time it has been offered to the public. This
property lays between the SAP railroad and the bay, and between the two termi
na! railroads, and is sure to become the cream of the wholesale district. We predict
that it will be worth as much per front foot as it is now selling per lot by the time
the Panama canal is completed in 1913. You can double your money easy by
the time it is paid out. The number of these lots is limited and you cannot dupli-
cate this property on these terms,/ Write us for maps and literature. Aransas
Pass is destined to become a great commercial city and you should buy now.

Some of those candidates who
failed to get enough votes to elect
them Tuesday, are consoling
themselves that politics make
strange bed fellows.
We heard a man say the other
day that some men are so prone
to lying that they are not believed
even when they do tell the truth,
but he had no reference to the
real estate boosters of Rockport,
of course.
The incoming editor desires to
express .his grateful thanks to the
Progress force for their untiring
efforts in getting out this hurried
edition of the paper. He realizes
the difficulties under which they
worked and fully appreciate their
cc-cpcration.
We wish to compliment the
young business men of the city
upon their faithful work election-
eering. Especially do we com-
pliment the ycung man with the
yellow bird dog; the enthusiasm
he manifested was most com-
mendable.
If President Taft had mobilized
the army at Aransas Pass instead
of other Texas points it would
have served two wise purposes:
Demonstrating the availability
of Aransas Pass as the best natural
deep water harbor on the gulf
coast, and the most conveniently
located basis of operations for
naval forces.
Young People! The Salary Ques-
Have You Solved It?
A married man in Pittsburg, pa.
named Louis Piello has so many
children that he has to check them
off before bed time like a hard-
ware merchant would a bill of
freight. He is thinking of having
a branding plate made like cattle
men use in Texas on their calves
in order to know them when he
meets them.
A widow woman kept a hen
that laid an egg every morning.
She thought to herself, “If I
double my hen’s allowance of food
she will lay twice a day.” So she
adopted her plan and the hen be-
came so fat that she laid off laying
at all.

tion.
Here is the correct answer.
Attend our college, take a course
of Bookkeeping and Shorthand or
Telegraphy, and we will get you a
good position promptly. You
can’t find a student of our school
who has completed, the above
courses who has been out cf a
position more than ten days unless
of his own accord- Dosen’t this
prove that just so surely as you
finish with us you will be placed
at a good salary. Write for a list
of those we have placed and the
firms we have placed them with
during the last sixty days. While
our enrolling desk is busjr matricu-
lating 1 500 students annually, our
Employment Department is just as
busy seeing that every graduate is
placed in a position.
The cost of a scholarship for a
complete course of booking, in-
cluding the necessary literary sub-
jects, is $50; shorthand $50. or
the tw) courses combined $95;
the books and material for the
bookkeeping course is $22, short-
hand $5, or the two courses com-
bined $15. The average time
required for completing bookkeep-
ing is four months. The average
rate paid for board and lodging is
$12.50 per month, which would
make the total cost of board $50.
The average time on a shorthand
course is three months, which
would make the board cost $37.50.
The average time for completing
both bookkeeping and Shorthand
is five months, making board and
lodging for the two courses com-
plete $62.50, or a total cost for
tuition, books and board, for
Bookkeeping $112. Shorthand
$92.50. The combined Book-
keeping and Shorthand course
$ 1 72 50. Telegraphy course costs
$50 for life scholarship, $5 for
books and material; average time
for completing four months, mak-
ing board $50, or a total cost for
the. course of $105.00. In other
words, for from $105 to $172.50
you qan make yourself absolutely
sure of a good position at a salary
that will pay the entire cost back
commercial clubs of Texas wllh | yQU in two ancJ a half to three
The commercial clubs of the
state are cultivating close relations
with the farmer. In many instan-
ces agriculture is the leader in club
work. Securing immigration, in-
creasing production, improving
public highways and live stock has
been a part of the clubs’ work.
The Beaumont Chamber of Comm-
erce has taken the lead in organiz-
ing rthe farmers of that section
into an association for the market-
ing of their products.
The price is the thing. i he
Commercial Club that can open
up a better market for the farm
products accomplishes as much as
if they had secured a factory.
There is no prosperity like that of
the farm, and a Commercial Club
can render no better service to a
community than by co-oprerating
wtth the farmers in marketing their
products. _
The Texas Commercial Secre-
taries’ Association has issued a
population map of Texas showing
the Federal Census of 1910 by
counties.
This map is useful for the gen-
eral information which it contains
in convenient form and will be
especially valuable in redistricting
the state into Congressional, State
Senatorial and State Representa-
tive Districts which will be a part
of the work of the next • session of
the legislature.
The map is submitted to the
the suggestion that the Commer- j mont^s
el a1 interests of the state be con-
forming new districts
and that each individual club
have such representation at the ^
next session of the legislature as
in their opinion circumstances
may warrant.
Write for free catalogue,, and
make your arrangements to enter
at once, and be ready for a good
position when the fall season
opens. Tyler Commercial College
