Water Is Life.

Maybe you've heard that something
else is life, but out in California and
Arizona they will tell you that you are
wrong--that water ia life.
There was a time when San Diego
didn't have enough water TO drink.
You couldn't water tree there. If
that condition had been permitted to
continue San Diego would not now be
building the most unique exposition
ever held. That is just what San Die
go is doing, and it is all due to water,
for San Diego now has plenty OF wa
ter. not only to drink, but TO irrigate
thousands OF acres of orchards, and
occasionally for bath, If people insist
on having one. But out In San Die
go they can and do battle in the ocean
fall the year around, so you can have
more water TO drink and irrigate your
gardens.

School Election.

The Common Council have ordered
an election TO be held Saturday, De.
cember 90, from to p. M, so that
the voters of this city can register
their. opinion ss to the best location
OF new school building, whether
upon the hill or upon the ball ground.
Inasmuch as the vote of the people
has no legal binding force upon the
School Board, there may be question
as TO whether it was desirable to hold
such election; but it is to be hoped
that all who have preference on the
subject will register it at the election
to be held. OF course there may be
some who believe that the ball ground
is the better place, and to such who
vote according TO their honest opin-
ion there can be no objection. There
are others whose interest will infiu-
encc them to vote in that way. But it
liz believed that large majority of the
people think the hill is the best loca-
ton in tho town for high school, and
that the ball ground is not III for the
purpose. Aside from this, there can
be no question that most people who
have considered the subject, believe,
that from the taxpayers point of view,
the abandonment of the hill property
and the purchase of property in town
is mn extremely bad business PROPOSE
ton. 1t has been settled that while
the State and county authorities have
expressed preference for downtown
site, they have not tried TO compel the
School Board to take such action, aud
they may not have been fully Inform
ed. But the greatest difficulty tho
taxpayers have had with the present
School Board has been that they are
unable to ascertain that there is any
complete plan for providing school ia
cilities, and no reasonable estimate of
what IL ia going to cost in the end
No one need be ashamed of fear of
an increasing tax rate, and everyone
ought to be anxious to secure the best
possible educational facilities at the
lowest possible cost, for this reason.
those who might be inclined to vote
for the downtown site ought to very
sure that they are going to get some
thing great deal better than they
have and at a cost that is not prohibi.
tive.

the Board of Education TO furnish
such school facilities and accommodate
tons, Including buildings) as are de-
manded by the laws of the State and
the lawful orders of the State school
authorities. The School Law Com
piled Statute, 1910, page 4T6S, section
| 1861 reads in part as follows; Such
| facilities and accommodations shall
include proper school buildings, togeth-
er with furniture and equipment,
| convenience Of access thereto, and
courses of study, Nc, &c, and then
empowers the state school authorities
to withhold from any municipality
which fails to provide such facilities,
Nc, its share of the state school funds.
The state school authorities have eN-
pressed themselves rs not regarding
the hill site as n proper site for school
building within the clause convent
cnce of access thereto" above quoted.
Third: AS practical question Lam
bertville is facing the grave possibility
that the state school authorities may
at any time cut off its appropriation
of state school moneys, las the law en-
powers them to do because of the fail
| ure of the Board TO provide lawful facil-
tiles and accommodations. The cut
ting of this money would not relieve
the City from the legal obligation rest
ing upon II TO provide for the educa-
ton of its youth; and the result would
therefore be that the City would be re-
| quired, ut its own expense and without
State aid, either to maintain u High
School here or send its children of high
school age and who desire to take II
high school course, to n High School
i'll some other municipality, with both
tuition fees and transportation eX-
penses public charge. These new
fixed charges collectively would far eX-
coed the annual interest and sinking
fund charges ON the money necessary
to provide new and satisfactory build
ings.
The Board has no desire to run
counter to public lopinion and TO fast
en- upon the City II debt which its
members, in common with other tau
payers, must assist in paying; but
after n careful consideration of the
matters stated above II has been forced
to the conclusion that the duty and
responsibility which the law imposes
upon il are such ms TO compel IL TO
ignore the result of the unauthorized
and unwarranted election which Com
mon Council has ordered. The Board
therefore makes this statement, and
trusts that the general public, being
thus informed of the law and the facts,
will lend its active and intelligent CO.
operation TO the solving of the problem
of how to furnish in the most econom-
zeal and satisfactory manner, school
facilities which the City is absolutely
required TO provide and from the pro-
viding of which no number reflections
can relieve us.

RALEIGH, n. C. CHILD
Made Strong and Well by Vinol.

When We tell you that vinol is the
best remedy in our whole stock for
making weak, puny, ailing children
strong, robust and rosy, we are only
telling you what has been proved by
hundreds of mothers.
Mrs. W. o. Strother. Raleigh. N. c.,
says: my little girl, Hazel. has been
taking Vinol to build her up after a
! we're spell of sickness. 1t has done
- much good by restoring her appe-
lite and building up her strength that
/ think Vinol is the finest tonic ever
prepared, and am telling everyone
about It"
What Vinol did for this little
girl it will do for very weak and
ailirg child, because sickly children
need the strengthening cod liver
elements and the tonic iron that
Vinol contains--that is why Vinol
builds them up quickly and gives
them fine, healthy color. 1t is
pleasant to take, and We guar
antee that the results will satisfy
you money back IL they do not,
