When the stomach fails to di-
gest and distribute that which
clogged with a mass OF waste
and refuse that ferments and
generates poisons that are grad
ually forced into the blood, caus-
ing distress and often serious Ill
ness.
Most people naturally object
to the drastic cathartic and pur-
gative agents that shock the
system. A mild, gentle laxative,
positive in its effect and that
will quickly relieve constipation,
is DIR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin,
sold by druggists at fifty cents
and one dollar a bottle. II does
not grippe or cramp, but acts

Our program which was mostly
given by the older ones of the
neighborhood was very good, but
we hope the younger members
will begin to take more interest
as the warm days come on. Our
next meeting will be January 80.
We hope to have a full house,
good weather and a good pro-
gram.
Shirley Milbourn is one of our
estimable young men, who al
ways responds with something in
the musical program. Why not
some of our other poung men
take notice and do likewise? We
certainly would appreciate itand
it helps to keep things going.
We are sorry to learn that Mrs.
G. M. Douglas who teaches the
Garland school is quite sick. We
hope she will be up soon.

president, Jake Rice, being de-
tained at home (or some where
else) on account of bad weather
(or some other excuse) How
ever, we never elect a new presi-

show up, jake. No use hiding
out.

Another snow fell at this place
Friday morning.


Friday morning.
More snow, more rest; more
wood we burn: more grub we
eat; more grass for the cattle;
more firijoles to hoe; more weeds
to cut. But such is life. In this
sunshine state a few bad, blustry
days makes us sigh for our good
old Kentucky home where we
imagine the winters We're beauti-
full because we remember q few
nice days in December. But then
when we recall the days and
days that the rain fell in torrents,
the days and days we were tied
indoors on account of sleet and
snow, the days that the mud was
hub deep and a little trip Of but
three or four miles where we
could go to spend Saturday night
with our kin and eat hig'red ap
Piles but for the terrible mud
and then when the June rains
began to come and our crops
would look so good and here the
creeks would overflow and cover
up the corn with water and mud,
etc, etc, etc-ah then!
Corte Douglas is quite a hunter
these SHOWS days. He brought
in twelve rabbits one day last
week.
Coyotes are getting numerous
around these parts of late Wal
ter Merrifield saw five in one
pack one day last week. We saw
two trotting across the field in
line for some ones hen house and
the school children saw one on
the same afternoon near here.
Better look out, eggs are most as
high as coyote hides.

States Direct Taxes

During the year ended July 81,
1915, taxpayers of Minnesota turn
ed in 81 ,964,S14.O2 to the state
treasury, according to figures made
public by Walter J. Smith, state
treasurer.
This amount was collected under
the AIS mills tax levied by the
1913 Legislature. It was the tax
payers direct contribution to the
22,481 .933.11 in receipts taken
in by the state treasurer during
the year.
Of this great total in receipts
$12, $40, ,7S1.13 was for the revenue
fund. The taxpayers gave as
their share s., ,285. .740.O1. From
these figures. it is plain that
direct taxation does not come any
where near providing the state
with sufficient funds to carry on
its work.
The remainder of the revenue
funds is derived from variety of
sources. Mr.. Smith points out
that taxes paid by the railroads,
insurance and telephone companies
and the tax on inheritances are
more than all the money derived
from direct taxation of the people
at large.
As fast as this money came in,
it was paid out again on auditor S
warrants. Almost one-half, or
Sc, 29S, 925. 36 of the S12, $40, ,871.13
disbursed went to support the
twenty-nine institutions conducted
by the state.
Much of the money handled by
the treasurer's Office is simply
transferred from one fund to the
other. As an instance, the prison
twine and machinery plants turned
in 81, 2,055, ,352.37 to the state

General Manager at the Chandler

Capt. Frank Kent was elected as
vice president and general manager
of the Chandler mine at the last
meeting of the company held at
Virginia. Mr.. Kent is one of the
heaviest stockholders in the COM
pany and many are pleased over
his election to the new position.
1t was through his efforts that the
Chandler was developed as pro-
ducer after the Oliver company had
abandoned the lease. E. D. Nc
Neil was made president; R. w.
Spencer secretary and treasurer;
H. R. Spencer and H. S. King
directors.

BOND ELECTION
Citizens to Vote ON the Bond Issue
Next Tuesday

Next Tuesday the matter of
issuing $4,000 in refunding bonds
will be before the voters for their
ratification or rejection.
There are many valid reasons
why this issue of bonds should be
ratified. In the first place, the
city needs the money to pay up
outstanding obligations and to
finish the work in new improv-
ments contemplated.
The demand on the city for new
sewers, streets and lighting facil-
tiles is growing daily by reason of
the upbuilding of the residence
portion of the city and it must be
said that the new additions are en-
titled to the modern Improvements.
While it may appear that the
amount is large as a matter of
debt, it is the candid opinion of the
Miner that the issue was not made
heavy enough. 1t should have
been $40, 900 or $50, 900 at least.
The debt cuts little ice when spread
over a period of years compared to
what the cost would be to the in
dividual taxpayer of the city pro-
viding the levy next year was made
to care for the outstanding orders
which are drawing six per cent
and substitute bonds drawing S per
cent with the privilege of retiring
them whenever the cash for pay
ment is available.
The voter should, before casting
his ballot next Tuesday, look into
the subject thoroughly and judge
for himself. This matter concerns
everyone in the city and should
not be lightly gone over.
