BUGGY BURNED; BARN SAFE
DIR. Game Loses a $3.50 Vehicle in a
Peculiar Fire at Norris


An extraordinary accident hap
pened a night or two ago by
which DR.. Charles E. Game lost a
$3.50 buggy. He came from a coun-
try drive about midnight and drov q
into the livery barn and turned his
team and buggy over to the hostler.
In the morning when he called for
his team for another drive he was
told there was nothing to bitch it to
his buggy having burned during the
night.
When the day hostler came down
in the morning he found Or. Gaines
buggy in ashes except part of the
running gear-and large hole burn
cd in the floor of the barn. 1t is
conjectursd that the fire stated from
the lantern. which was on the dash
board but it is beyond comprehension
how the buggy could have burned
witeout setting fire to the barn.

I'HE SCHOOL LAWS
EDUCATION THE BIRTHRIGHT OF
EVERY AMERICAN CHILD.

Some Wholesome Advice from Our
County Superintendent. 1.-The Law
Cited. ---Parents Should Attend
Schools.
To patrons of the public schools;
find that there are a great many
children of school age in the county
who are not attending school at
least regularly. This is not carel ess,
but criminal. An education is the
birthright Of every child in America;
and furthermore, the county is de-
prived of its share of the state appro-
pristion for school purposes. Below
is given the law on compulsory edu-
cation, from which you can readily
see that I am justified in my remarks.
Section 28O.-Every parent, guar
dian, or other person, who resides in
any school district or city, and who
has control of any child or children
of or between the ages of 8 and is
years, shall send such child or child
rem to public, parochial or private
school in each year during the entire
time the public schools of such dis
trict or city are in session,
Provided, however, that such child
or children may be excused from such
attendance for the whole or any part
Of such period by the school board of
the district in which such parent or
guardian or person having control re-
sides, upon it being shown to the
satisfaction of such board
THAT such parent or guardian
is not able by reason of poverty to
clothe such child properly; or ~
that such child's bodily or mental
condition is such as to prevent his
attendance at school or application to
study for the period required; or 81
that such child is taught at home
such branches as are taught in the
public schools subject to examine
tons as other pupils of such district;
or az that such child has already &C.
CURED the ordinary branches requir-
ed by law; or (5) that such child is
actually engaged in some useful oc-
employment or service per-
mitted by law.
Any parent or guardian refusing to-
comply with the above is liable to al
fine not to exceed $50 or imprison-
ment not to exceed thirty days.
Furthermore I ask the cooperation
# the parents and patrons of the
since the best work can be
done only by the united efforts of
parent, teacher and pupil.-There-
fore parents visit your schools.

"A part of the program4eql :

we're the Rotations Of Miss Nell
Ames Horn. In the 'Picaninny's
Lullaby she achieved exceptional
success. Her clear, we'll trained
voice, her ease OF manner and grace

house. She was recalled again and
again and graciously, responded with
numbers not less pleasing than the
Lullaby"

Liberal PROPOSAL
TO THE VOTERS OF THE VILLAGE
OF NORRIS.
s. Stewart Makes Proposition to
Furnish Power for the Pumping

s. Stewart Makes Proposition to
Furnish Power for the Pumping
Station.
Editor Tribune:
AS the matter of village improve
ment is IN all directions, both in saw
ing of money and permanent i'm
provements, the all absorbing matter
of interest at the present time, it
might be we'll to pause before enter
ing into any new obligations which
would at least carry us to the very
limit of our legal point of indebted
ness,-if such would not perhaps
carry us beyond that limit-and
more especially when the new obi
cation would be for improvement,
not new, but which we already have.
/ refer to the purchase by the village
of the present electric lighting and
power plano.
1t is we'll known that there is not
village in this part of the state that
stands in greater need of a sewerage
system than does Morris. And when
we enter into an agreement whereby
we have put ourselves as far in debt
as we can possibly be, it precludes
all thought Of anything farther being
done regarding sewerage.
The one great point in favor of vii
lage ownership of an electric plant is
that it would reduce operating OK.
penses of the village. To enable the
village to make this saving without
investing in an electric plant, will
make this proposition: [ will, for
five years, enter into an agreement
with the village to furnish them
power sufficient to operate their
pumping plant at the water works
the village to take the electric
current at my power plant for $3.50 a
year, said power not to exceed Is
horse power or not to be used to ex-
coed ten hours day 10 every "a; or
if used in excess of that time to be
paid for at the rate of SC % M watts.
Should the village prefer to make
a contract for sufficient electric cur
rent to run their own lights and
pump. I will make fat price to
said village of 44c q NJ watts meter
rate for said current at my power
plant. Hoping that these proposals
will be fully and favorable consider
ed by the voters Of the village of
Morris. I am respectfully,
S. STEWART.

Blood
Draperies.

Feed pale girls on SCOTS
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
.-,ch in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
o why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
