Only A Dollar

One Of the chief differences between
people who make a goodly showing of
their lives and those who allow them
to slip as waste through their fingers
is that the first have cultivated their
sense Of values.
While not misery they know the
value of dollar and study ways and
means for accumulating odd dollars
into lump sum. Why not follow
their example and let our bank
account plan help YOU to accumulate
more? A dollar will get you started.

Sprigs of Acncias.
What those people in the forest SER

has been demonstrated on the Califor-
mia seacoast, clear down to the ocean
beach, directly exposed to heavy gales
and dense fogs. In Golden Gate Park,
San Francisco, the acacia has been u.s.
ed in making a magnificent forest of a
waste of drifting sand.
The principal use Of the tree has
been in tan bark and all of the leading
tan bark acacias come from Australia
The acacia timber is beautifully
grained from contact with the ground.
The larger trees grow more than 100
feet high, with a trunk clear of
branches for so or 60 feet and dia-

COURT REPRovEs BOTH.
Parties to Creel Divorce Suit Lee
tured From Bench.

While announcing his intention to grant
a limited divorce to Mabel v. Creel from
John A. Creel, an insurance agent, Jus
tice Stafford took occasion to blame both
parties for the separation which took
place within fifteen months Of their mar
riage. Neither had shown the forbear-
ance necessary for welded HE, the
court remarked.
The wife on the witness stand, the court
stated. had exaggerated her husbands ac-
tons and the latter had attempted to
deny things that were substantiated by
other witnesses. The wife was given
plainly to understand that she would
have to work for living and that the
amount of alimony to be awarded would
be small.
The court declined to sign a. decree to-
day, but said he will grant the divorce
later. when he has determined on the
amount of alimony. Attorney E. L. Gies
represented the wife. Attorneys Nc
Lanahan. Burton & Culbertson appeared
for the husband.

the possibility Of action being required by
protecting lives and property when the
police are unable to hold their own.
Attempts have been made to dissuade

amounted to the claim that officers and
men Of the army could pick and choose
between lawful and reasonable orders.

not in another"
Continuing that there had not been a
single case Of lack Of discipline in this
respect in the British army. Col. Seely
says:
''At the same time as views and state
made my position clear. informed the
general officers that would hold each OF
them individually responsible to see that
there was no conduct in their commands
subversive to discipline. told them they
could let it be clearly understood that
any such conduct would be dealt with un-
der the kings regulations.
Would Advise Removal.
"If any army officer sh ould tender his
resignation told the generals that they
should ask for his reasons, and If he in
dicated that he desired to choose which
order he would obey. would submit to
the king that the officer should be re-
moved from the army"
This document was followed by letter
dated March IA from. the war office TO
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget. commander-in-
chief in Ireland, in which Sir Arthur was
informed:
''In consequence Of reports received by
the government that attempts may be
made in various parts Of Ireland by evil
disposed persons to obtain possession Of
arms and ammunition and other govern
ment stores, 1t Is considered advisable
that you should at once take special pre-
cautions for safeguarding the depots and
other places where arms and stores are
kept as you may think advisable.
