Don’t Be “Averse” Man
Young people must make thorn-1
selves (fficionf and bundle their
earning> properly during their
productive ynrr if they are to1
escape the common lot of being
dependent in old age.
The life insurance companies
have compiled figures which
bundantly demonstrate those
fac’s. Give sober consideration
to this digest of life ♦xoe’iences
of one ho deed average men: At
the age of sixty five the record
of these men are a-’ follows:
thirty five are dead, one rich,
fom wealthy, six are self sup-
porting hut are compelled to
work for a living, fifty lour, or
over half the number are depend-
ent on children, relatives, or
charity. Tnis is a sau »■ utu of
affairs and only cur he remedied
by getting the proper kind of
business training in youth.
The average educated man |
gets a salary of $1,500 a year. I
Ho works forty years, making a
total ot $C0.COO in a life time.
The average day laborer gets!
$2.25 per day, three 'hundred I
days in the year, or $675 a year. J
In forty years he earns $27,00<). !
The difference, $33,000, equals
the financial value of an educa-!
tion. To acquire this earning)
capacity requires about five!
months time or one hundred and •
fifty days in the Tyler Com-!
mercial Coliege. Divide one huri-1
dred and fifty iljiys into $33,000,
the value of an education, and
you will find that each day spent
in the Tyler Commercial College
is worth $220 to you without
considering the satisfaction and
pleasure of living a much more
successful life. Fill in and mail
ior free catalog. Get out of the
average class.

Autumn Days
While in the North the bleak winds blow
And in some sections scurrying snow
Sweeps o’er tbe land.
While men in coats of wool and fur
With quickoutd step on business stir
To peat the band.
While mittens, enrtnbs wristlets, ceps.
Great coats and sweaters, and '.sundry wraps
Up there feel good,
Oul Sol his job has never quit
Down here in Texas— not a hit
That’s understood,
The lo-tves are fsdli ig l' uni the fro -s,
The grass *rvj fi , .ers h seems 1o please
To tprn to br< vvn.
Jack Frost has kisse l the foliage green
It droop* its head like s veei sixteen
All over town.
The morning air is crisp and Hear.
Nor winds nor snows are drawing near
To cause a sigh.
The mercury its height maintains.
Btif, bless your soul, it'never rains;
’Tis getting dry.
Theve moonlit, nights are simnly grand.
They call to youth on every hand
A stroll to take.
All through the day ’tis hot sunshine.
Let’s take a swim— the water’s fine
Out at The. Lake.
