Advice to Those Who Would Buy and
Sell on Maruin.

SOi on MdT9in.
"a broker once told me that there
was one rule which he would give if
he dared to his customers to guide
them in selecting stocks for trading
purposes. Take a piece of chewing
gum; reduce it to an adhesive condi-
ton, mold it into a form convenient
for throwing: throw it at the board.
Buy or sell the stock indicated by the
spot on the board to which it adheres.

TRUSTEES AGAINST LICENSE
Blu siness Transacted at Meeting
Monday Night.

ne board OF village trustees was
IN regular session Monday evening,
all the members being present. In
the course of the meeting the pro
bability of the board being asked
to grant saloon licenses in Rath-
dru N was discussed informally, a
maj ority of the board expressing
thern nselves very emphatically that
they would oppose granting any
licenses. One member declared
he would quit the board if the
other members voted for a saloon
license. Another said he believed
it sh puld be understood that so
long as the present board is in
power no saloon licenses shall be
gran ted in Rathdrum. The present
board was elected last April to
serve until April, 1913, so that so
far as present indications are con-
cerned, the town bids fair to re-
main dry, with prospects of a dry
board being elected again in 1913.
No applications for license have
yet been presented to the board.
Th e chairman of the board was
autho orized to draft an ordinance
provi ding for village license for
pool and billiard tables and bowl
ing al leys. Ten dollars year was
mentioned as the probable amount
of license for each billiard and pool
table.
