MONDAY IS
ELECTION DAY
Fate of Proposed Buildings Is
Awaited with Interest.
EVERYONE SHOULD VOTE
City Buildings and Others
are Badly Needed.
1t is Believed by Many That
the Proposition will be FavorabIy
Received.

On next Monday the voters of
the city will cast their ballots to
decide upon three important city
improvements. the construction of
a new city man, central ire ue-
partment and a new market house.
The election is an event that
practically every citizen has been
looking forward to with much in
terest and curiosity 1t is the opin.
ion of those who have followed
the question closely that the city
hail project will go through. Re-
garding the other improvements.
there seems to be but little talk.
At the election next Monday the
voters will have the privilege OF
voting for any one of the improve
ments and against the other two.
or in favor of them all. The defeat
OF one OF the projects does not
necessarily mean the defeat OF
them all.
1t is time for every citizen who
INTENDS 10 cast a ballot next Mon
day, to get into his thinking togs
and if not Informed on the ques-
ton. he should inquire and read
up in order that he may be in a
position to vote lntelligently and
the best interest OF Marion.
The question which the voter
must consider next Monday is not
do we need these improvements
Everybody will conceded that Mar
ion needs new city hall, fire de-
partment and even market house
but the real question Is can the
city afford 1t. It seems as though
many oi the citys most fair mind.
ed citizens think it can, but even
that opinion should have but little
influence upon the man who has
a. mind OF his own and knows
definitely how he wants to vote
Council has done its part and
now stands reitdy to carry out the
will of the people. so 1t is all NJ
to the voters, Monday.

this morning, after he had answer

the city has some kick coming over
something some time or other and
the mayor is the victim. It's either
chickens playing havoc with q
neighbor's garden, dogs carrying
bones upon somebody's yard or
children becoming oficious in their

thousand and fifty complaints have
entered the mayors office since the

army.
In conclusion, the writer hopes he
has not been misunderstood and that
no criticism is intended of our small
but efficient army. No one is better
acquainted with it's sterling fighting
qualities and of the glorious record it
has made, but its small size has made
possible high degree Of training not
compatible with All army the size

Anticipating Work.

When Beecher was asked how he
managed to accomplish 80 much with
SO little friction, hs replied, "By never
doing my work twice." Many people
do their tasks u dozen times 0yerin
anticipation. They waste az much
energy in thinking about their work
in advance, in dreading it, in wonder-
ing how it will turn out, as in actually
doing it.
For most of us, the actual days
work would not be so hard ii we came
to it>fresh in mind and body, instead
of weary aud discouraged fr"m dread
ing it, worrying about 1t, and antici-
pating the troubles which we are likely
to meet in It's accomplishment.
Anticipating our work, doing itover
aud over mentally beforehand, is fatal
to the greatest efficiency. 1t cuts off
large percentage Of our power.
Many business men, instead of re-
laxing completely when they retire at
night, begin to plan and perform their
next days work mentally, anticipating
in cOnnection with it, all sorts of diff
cutties and troubles which never come.
They 60 to sleep with troubled, anx-
fious mind, and VT airing, grinding, ex-
haustlng mental processes go on dur
ing sleep. The result is that instead
of feeling refreshed and vigorous in
the morning, they wake Up tired and
exhausted.
These men ruin their minds for real
creative work, and destroy their ability
to grasp opportunities and seize situa-
tions efficiently. By constantly antici-
pating their business, thinking about
it out of business hours, they lose that
mental freshness and buOyancy OF
mind which makes man resourceful,
inventive, aud original.
! Many people when they retire not
only pass in review even the minutest
detail of the work Of the next day, but
also go thru the experiences Of the
past day in retrospect.
Doing work over and over before
one really comes to it, has very dis
astrous effect upon the disposition. 1t
makes man fractions, irritable,
touchy. His nerves become unstrnng;
his mind loses its elasticity, it's fresh
ness and buoyancy. The constant
strain upon his brain wears him out,
and, before middle life he is sn old man

must serve for nine months or less un-

The name National Guard is taken by
the state militia which is also inspected

Every citizen of the United States who
has its future welfare at heart should

work he has accomplished in provid-

step forward has been taken in the

caused him severe pain, and it was
feared that his eyesight might be
effected, but the glass has all been
removed, and he will be all right in
