A COLLEGE BOY INVESTS $3.50
NOW LIVES IN LUXURY

Only Monday of this week an elderly lady
called at our office and told remarkable
story--and, we believe, true story-of how II
poor college boy took $3.50 of money that his
parents had sent him to pay for his board ani
tuition and instead OF doing it he invested the
money in California oil stocks Today the
lady said, the young man is receiving large
dividend check, he does not work and is en-
joying life. He isn't worrying about the rainy
day" or the NEST egg for old age. He saw
do the same or will you delay and postpone
until the day of opportunity is past or your

Why are you not receiving any portion OF
these millions of dollars? You know that this

WT will soon be time for another payday for
l California oil companies-a payday OF
about one million dollars monthly to the
fortunate owners of California oil stocks. DO
you know that these large pay-days are get
ting to be common occurrences now? Well, sir,
they are, and in the very near future they will
increase and then the stockholders will pocket
their profit money and smile just little bit
broader The smile is quite broad now, but it
will expand to still a larger proportion as the
oil companies pump more oil from Mother
Earth to quench the growing demand and fill
their overnowing treasures with golden dollars.
This money is given to the happy stockholder
for having assisted the company when it was
young and needed money for drilling wells and
otherwise developing the property that it might
form into such grand dividend-paying con-

Getting After Treasures.

The public examiner is getting
after the county treasurers who are
stretching the date, March 1, a lit
tie too far. This is the date after
which a penalty is added by law for
non payment of personal taxes.
Some treasurers in the goodness of
their heart forget to change the
March date for day OR so and even
a week Or ten days after that day has
passed. They do this in order to ac-
commodate some of the late ones.
This is all very well. But here comes
the public examiner and is compell-
ing the treasurer in three Southern
Minnesota counties to pay out of their
own pockets the penalties that should
have been collected on every receipt
written in the Office after March 1. It
is hardly fair to put the treasurer of
the county into the position where he
violates the law and lays himself Ii
able to considerable financial loss and
yet this is what every taxpayer does
who drops in late and asks the treas
urer to waive his penalty. The state
examiner is checking up the treasurers
of the state pretty close as the pena-
ties thus due go to the schools funds
and he estimates that thousands of
dollars are lost every year by reason
of the fact that treasurers are too
easy about insisting on the penalty
due for delays in payment of taxes.
The examiner is checking up letters
received with tax payments. In
many cases, such remittances are in
correct and have to be returned. The
examiner rules that in case the cor
rect amount is not received on or be-
fore March l the penalty shall be add
ed no matter if the check returned
for correction was first received prior
to March 1. In all cases the rule that
is to be followed is that ssthe actual
and correct cash or its equivalent
must be in the hands of the county
treasurer on Or before March 1 if the
tax penalty is to be avoided" 1t
therefore behooves the taxpayer to
get around on time.

STOMACH DISTRESS.
And all Misery from Indigestion
Vanishes Five Minutes Later.

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of in
digestion or stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome
sour stomach five minutes after
wards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart
burn, that is sign of indigestion.
Ask your pharmacist for a 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangule after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
facilitating headaches, dizziness, or
intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour
food left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it will
take hold of your food and digest it
just the same of if your stomach
wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure case of
dyspepsia or indigestion.

Austria will send within few days
