AN UNEQUALED RECORD
SeventyFive Students Placed In Good
Positions During the Month
of August
The employment bureau of the
Tyler Commercial College of Tyler
Texas has placed seventyfive stu-
dents In good positions during the
month of August We doubt if there
is another school In America that can
say as much for this particular
month If there Is a former graduate
of the Tyler Commercial College out
of employment we would be glad to
have him write the employment de-
partment at once for from present
indications we will not be able to
supply the demand for our graduates
of bookkeeping shorthand and teleg
raphy If you know of anyone need
ing the services of one of our grad
uates write us for we make a spec-
ialty of replacing our students in
higher salaried positions Often stu-
dents who have been out of school
holding a position for two or three
years find that they have reached
the top with the firm for which they
are working and desire to get witha
firm that can give them more work
and pay better wages Through our
employment bureau we handle all
kinds of positions at salaries from
600 to 3000 per year
Young people who have been con-
templating entering our school but
have perhaps hesitated fearing they
could not get a position should aban-
don such thoughts and arrange to
enter at once for just as sure as
they complete our course of book-

State of Texas Embarks In the Sugar
Business on a Large Scale and
Results Are Encouraging
Special to the Herald
San Antonio Texas Sept 1 Last
year the state of Texas embarked in
the sugar business on a large scale
and the results of the first years op-
erations shows a most encouraging re-
turn upon the investment and justify
the wisdom of the undertaking Un-
usually heavy crops were jealfzed on
the various plantations and the re-
port of W H Gill chairman of the
state penitentiary board shows that
the income so derived will go far to-
wards wiping out the debt Incurred
in the purchase of these properties
The state purchased 14436 acres of
sugar land consisting of the Chenan
go plantation with 7762 acres the
Ellis plantation of 5674 acres and
the Riddick place with 1000 acres
An option was held on the big Cun
ningham place of 13000 acres but
because of a disagreement In price
this deal fell through
These plantationswere worked by
ponvict labor and have been so skill

fully conducted as to prove an un-
qualified success It is probable that
the penitentiary board will be in the
market this winter for more sugar
land as this use of the convicts seems
to occasion less friction and yield
better profits Texas has however a
number of independent sugar planta-
tions and all of them are realizing
great profits At the present rate of
growth of this industry in a few
years the sugar states will have to
reckon with Texas for control of the
markets
