WILL Do NO. BUILDING
UNTIL ITS DEBTS ARE CLEARED UP
Board of Education Finds Itself
$4,000 Behind and Will
Retrench. ~

Owing to deficit of $55, 900, the board
of education at it's meeting yesterday aft
ernoon passed resolution to do no build
ing until it's debts had been cleared up
The resolution was offered by N. F. Haw-
ley and stated that the rate fixed by
the board of tax levy was insufficient to
pay the running expenses and in addi-
ton build new schools retrenchment was
made necessary 1t is also recommended
that economy be practiced in other ways
DR.. Quinby holds that the board of tax
levy did not recognize the significance OF
the mill apportionment asked by the
board and as result turned down the
proposition.
SUPERINTENDENT DR.. G. NJ. Jordan's re-
port showed that 1S0 boys and 1913 girls
were ADMITTED to the schools in Decem-
ber. At the beginning of the new term

the half day session will have to be con-
tinued in the lower grades.

mittee to draw up resolutions in regard
to the death Of F. H. Peavey. Flags on

THE MAYOR LOSES
The Fight Against Signing Perma-
nent Improvement Bonds.
FAILS ALSO TO GET $4,000 FUND
Courts Decisions in Two Cases-The
Mayor Must Pay Court
Costs, Too.

Mayor Ames loses in both his conten-
tions in court against the city council.
Yesterday Judge Elliott filed orders IN
two mandamus suits one involving the
right of the council to make an issue OF
$150,000 Of permanent Improvement bonds,
and the other involving the right OF the
council to ignore the statute which directs
it to appropriate $4,000 annually for the
mayors contingent fund. In both cases
the court decided adversely to the mayor.
In the first instance action was brougnt
by the Minnesota Loan and Trust company
against the mayor to compel him to sign
the bonds for permanent improvements
authorized by the last legislature and
ordered the unanimous vote Of the city
council. The court decides that the
mayor had no discretionary power in the
matter; that he must sign the bonds re-
gardless of his opinion, SO long as they
were legally issued and sold. 1t appears
that all the legal requirements had been
complied with, that the act Of the ways
and means committee of the council ID
accepting the Minnesota Loan and Trust
company's bid constituted valid anu
binding contract between the city and COM
pany, and that it was therefore the duty
of the mayor to sign the bonds.
In the other suit the mayor sought to
compel the city council to appropriate
SIS, 900 for a mayors contingent fund. IN
tnlS case the court mas LnaC Iue Id"
setting aside this fund annually is man
datory and that 1t is the plain duty of the
council to vote the money. But 1t ap-
pears in this instance that the council
had already appropriated all the money
allotted to it by the board of tax levy
and the court could not therefore direct
it to do something that it was clearly out
Of its power, to do. The court would not
make an order which could not be obeyed..
The costs of the action are charged
against the mayor. t...~
Money Will Be Available.
At the time the bonds we're issued the
city engineer recompended to the council
that the money be distributed as fol-
lows: For new paving, $S5,000; for new
sewers, $55, 900; for new curb and gutter,
$4,000. 1t was his idea that the money
be expended on streets where the per-
manent Improvement fund was least and
the need the greatest. Specifically no dis
position was ever made Of the money
coming from this source. Mr.. Sublette
will probably make some recommendation
in his annual report as to just where the
money should be spent this year, but the
final decision in the matter will rest with
the paving and sewer committees of the
council. Under the ruling Of the city
controller this money must be kept wholly
separate from the regular permanent i'm
provement fund.

ANEW YEAR'SRESOLUTION
'"To Save Little Each Month";" the
Motto of the Rich.

Americans are noted for living up to
their incomes. They make money easily,
perhaps more easily than men of other
nations, but they spend it faster, and
have less regard for the rainy days Of
the future. AS loyal Americans, we are
confident that this habit will be over
come in time, and'it IS necessary for the
best interests Of the country that it
should be as soon as possible.
The salaried man, or man OF small
means, has little chance of getting ahead
unless he saves money, and puts it to
work lin some safe and reliable invest
ment It is self evident that an invest
ment yielding only four per cent interest
won't make man rich in hurry. The
Tabasco Plantation Company, Of Mexico,
offers an investment which is both safe
and rich in returns. The plan Is to de-
velop for each share one acre of land in
this rich plantation of 1000 acres, and
to develop it during the seven years
which it requires to mature young rub
ber tree During this period, the stock
holder is paying little each month, and
at the same time receiving dividends
which the company is able to declare on
the returns from it's sugar cane, cattle
and fruits, which are already making the
plantation a profitable investment. The
cultivation of rubber reduces the PROPOSE
tion to basis as stable as bank.
After maturity rubber tree yields a
rapidly increasing profit with practically
no expense for it's care. AS an acre will
support from 200 to 800 trees, and each
tree produces from one to two pounds of
rubber, worth an average of 80 cents a
pound, the dividends are exceptionally
large.
One acre will pay you, at the very low
est estimate, $126 the seventh year, which
is Al per cent. on your money. Five
years later the same acre will yield a
profit of $500.
The expense of producing rubber in
Mexico is but cents pound, as against
40 cents In South America, and it sells as
high as $1.0O. A small investment to-
day will give you permanet income in
few years, and at so small yearly outlay
that you will never feel it. Call at the
office for full particulars, or drop us a
postal, and we will send you prospectus
and reports.

The danger from this condition is that the
continued disturbance Of the heart sooner or

Furthermore, poor digestion makes the
blood thin and watery and deficient in red

weakens the heart
The most sensible thing to do for heart
trouble is to insure the digestion and assimi-
lation of the food.
! This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe. pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at most drug
stores, and which contain the necessary df-
form.
Thousands Of people keep we'll and vigor-
Gus by keeping their digestion perfect by OBJ
serving the rule of taking one or two of these
tablets after each meal, or at least after each
hearty meal.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain U. S.

natural digestives which act only on the
food, digesting it perfectly and preventing
acidity, gases and the many diseased con-
ditions which accompany weak stomach
you may know you are not taking into the
system any strong medicine or powerful drug

tablets become that they are now sold by
