Mothers Club Surprise Party.

An elaborate treat Was planned and
successfully carried out Thursday
by the members Of the Mothers Cluh
of the Fourth Ward. This came as
complete surprise to the faculty
of the school, but many OF the chill
drsn had an "inkling'' of what was
going forward School was dismiss
ed about 1890 and as the children
passed out the entrance each one was
made happy with an ice cream, cone
and big piece of cake. The teach
ers had been told to wait for the
teachers meeting at II O'Clock. They
waited impatiently and at 1890 were
called to the office by the principal,
Mr.. Coffman. Much to their surprise
they found instead OF the usual pro
sale library furniture, long table
spread with delicious dinner.
Mr.. Richards, superintendent of
the city schools, was seated at the
head of the table and Mrs. Ringer.
the president of the Mothers Club,
at the foot: while the principals
of the first and second wards and
the faculty of the fourth wacd were
arranged along the sides. The menu
was as follows:
Baked chicken with dressing.
Roast beef with brown gravy.
Green Peas.
Sweet pickles. Olives.
Salad with Waters
Ice cream Strawberries.
Marshmallow Cake. Chocolate Cake
Coffee.
After all had done full justice to
the bountiful repast, Mrs. Ringer
rose and gracefully called upon each
cne for a toast. The teachers at
tempted to express their gratitude
to the mothers for their kindness
and good will through the past year.
Mr.. Richards, as usual. responded
appropriately and paid beautiful
tribute to the Mothers Club. Mrs.
Washington and Mr.. Hodges also
complimented the mothers and eX-
pressed their appreciation and thanks.
After the speeches, witt many
kind words. hand-shakngs, and few
tears, the mothers and teachers part
ed, some only for the summer and
others for longer.

The Earning Capacity Of a Dollar

Banks may break and railroad
stocks depreciate in value; the
weather may affect crop conditions
and sway thereby the money market
to an unhealthy initiation or cause

thousands upon thousands of invest
ors of all degree, from the one op
Grating upon change with his mil
lions 10 he who plays few dollar
on the curb or through the ticker
il the bucket shops.
Dollars were made to supply ou
daily waits and to earn more dol
Iars. The earning capacity OF
dollar is only limited by the judg
ment used by its owner in investing
it. The man who uses good SOUND
horse sense in seeking a place fol
the investment of his nest egg
may after that sit in the shade and
watch his surplus grow and the orig
inal dollars multiply in healthy
ratio.
No investment is safe unless 1t is
guarded by a good ana non-shrink'
able security Real estate is the one
thing which always mas and always
will be an absolutely gilt edged Sc
curity.
Manufactures may burn and
strikes and other labor troubles put
railways out of commission and de-
moralize their securities in the IL
nancial world, but real estate always
remains the same. It's market price
