In submitting the following state mont of the condition of the Koil Cloud llusiness college I wish to say that I do not care to place before the general public difficulties that affect the pat rons particularly, but if those directly interested in the school will call at the otlicc f v ill give them information in detail anent the present predicament and will try to point the way out. During this school year the amount of money received by L. M. Steward was as follows. .Scholarships S S00 Monthly tuition, estimat"d 27," Typewriter rent, estimated 7fi Total SI,2.'H Since Dec. 1 the town bus pain in 7.r In nil 81,305 The above is as nearly correct ns it In possible to give as Steward took all the. books and accounts away with wanted to straighten everything up so I could run the school until he came back, which ho stated would bo about May 15. I took him to bo a man of his word, but he failed to show up at 7 or any other time until late in the night. Some have reported that the school is to close. This is not true, as 1 in tend to run the school the balance of the year if there is any possible show for It at all. Hut unless the people back me up and help me out it is go ing to be a greater loss than I eare to stand for. lteforo closing I wish to siiy this about the school and Ked Cloud as a school center: This school could be made one of the best, if not the bet, in the state. If the people in gen eral would lend a helping hand 1 believe 1 could make it one of the best in a short time. In or der to do this, one of the llrt things to be done would be to rid Ked (loud of some of its evils and vices, in order to get the Christian men and women of the country to send BAND CONCERT Farewell Benefit for Director Snapp, February 28. r.vur i. .March "Captain in Command'1. 11 el laid Overture "Orpheus". .

THIRTY YEARS AGO item from "The Cliicl" of Fcbrunry 21, 1878 Mr. Cather of Catherton made us a very pleasant call last week. Mr. (Jcorgo Bmery and Miss Vina Arnett were uiairicd February 10.

Steward collected all of the tuition for this month, and besides that, in considera tion of two notes thut I was to have, I allowed him money enough to 'pay half of "his coal bill, which was SCO. Instead of turning the notes over to me he transferred them on tlm coal account. Although the town is pay ing the rent, I have my own expenses and the expenses of a bhorthad teacher to pay, with nothing coming in. Un lesji we can get more scholars t'lere will only be about S'iO tuition for the month of March. There are mhub who will .say, "Why did you let him get iiwnyV" In the llrst place, he told iim he was not going until the 17th, but instead of that he took advantage of me and packed his goods and had them half way downstairs before" I know anything about what he was doing. This was about 1:1ft, and two classes yet to recite. He told me at that time to come to the otllce at 7 o'clock, as hu their boys and girls here to school. Then the next thing would be a larger and batter building, with accommoda tions in the way of a small library and apparatus for experiments in chemistry, physics and physiology, and also some otllee Hxtures for the com mercial department. Then get at least two or three more good teachers and put In a course of study, so the young man or young woman completing the work would have something back of thou when going out into life. Bveryono knows that when the boys and girls are sent away to other states, or even to other parts of this state, it takes money from the commu nity instead of bringing it in, so why not keep it here. Since beginning this I have received a letter from Paul S. Dietrich, stating th.it Steward had made no arrange ments for leaving the school and had no settlement since December 1, 1007. Abking your aid and hoping you will give, this matter due considera tion, I am, Yours for business, Pitor. C M. Wiuoiir. Business College Notes Delbcrt lliiniiell quit school to work on the farm.

VAJHY StOCkilldS Jt 1S truc t'iat Stock'mgs ought to wear better V KJJfi lffijgj? ian lcy (1' lc Hose we sell, it sometimes f f IrOn I m Guiii seems, ought to wear better. Customers occasion ally say that no stockings wear as well as they used to do. Of course, the trouble is partly in the Stocking and partly in the wearer. Women don't wear as heavy Hose as they once wore. They say: "Give me something thinner; 1 can't wear those thick ones." And, of course, the ma terial is not in them to give service. We would not expect the same service from a lace and broadcloth gown, yet we do something similar in our reasoning on Hose. Then many require that their Hose (it like a glove. If they were to buy a half si.c larger they would add much to the life of a pair of Hose. A good deal depends on the treatment given a Stocking. If it is pulled on, twisted on, jerked on, or worn with ill-fitting shoes, even a firm Stocking will soon give way. It must be said, too, that dyes which are too strong will ruin a Stocking. That is where the customer is powerless, and it is where we are powerless as well. The old iron-wearing Hose were ingrain dyed colored in the yarn before knitting. The newer fast blacks are much more evenly dyed, but an acid is used that sometimes gets ahead of the watchfulness even of experts. But people, would not have the old gray-touched Hose and they can't have guaranteed wear combined with fast, even 'color.
