SCHOOL BOND VOTE

The school board after thoroughly
canvassing the school situation in
Dickinson have decided to ask the
people of the city to vote $4,000
bonds the coming month for the pur-
pose of erecting a new fire-proot
grade building east of the present
grade building. If the bonds are
voted the board will have time be-
fore the building season opens in the
spring to perfect plans and all neces-
sary details.
School officers and school patrons
all over the city deplore the crowded
condition of our schools this year
The number of pupils has increased
very rapidly and the present build
ings cannot be made to stretch to
furnish accommodations. The third
story room now occupied by the 18th
grade is a source of uneasiness to
parents Of pupils who are in that
grade. The present gymnasium ia
cilities r entirely inadequate. So
much for the school needs.
Ward buildings have often been
suggested and their merits discussed
as a mean of providing additional
room, but they are not popular with
those who have children to send to
school. The added efficiency of a
central school well-equipped and fire.
proof appeals to those who desire the
very best for their children. OF
course in time the sectional school
must come but the board believes
that a new central building the COM
ing year will best serve the people of
the district. 1t will be more economi-
cal for one thing since the present
heating system can be extended to
supply the new structure, the mains
running under the present grade
building. Then too, economy Of equip
ment in other ways will save the tax
payers considerable over the amount
necessary to equip far less efficiently,
buildings widely separated.
The board hopes that the voters
will respond to their request and vote
the $4,000 bonds needed to insure
school facilities for the children of
Dickinson, commensurate to the
growth of the city.

Second Time During Present Year
that Equal Suffrage Amendment
Has Failed.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The house OF
representatives last night, by vote
of 204 to ia refused to submit to
the states an amendment TO the fed
eral constitution to enfranchise wo-
] men. The vote, the second in the
! history of congress on the woman
! suffrage issue, came at the close of a
day Of long-prepared-for oratory, dur
ing which many speakers were listen
ed to with frequent evidences of ap-
proval or disapproval by packed gai-
leries The question was before the
house on the Mondell resolution to
submit q constitutional amendment
providing that the right of suffrage
should not be abridged because OF
sex"
A two-thirds affirmative vote was
necessary to pass the resolution; 1t
was defeated by majority of 80
Party lines were not strictly drawn in
the fight. though Democratic Leader
Underwood, voicing the attitude of
his party that suffrage is a state is
sue strongly opposed the resolution.
while Republican Leader Mann was
one of the chief speakers of the suf-
fragists
Enthusiasm mingled with detection
when Speaker Clark announced the
result and into the corridors from op-
posite galleries filed the hundreds of
suffragists with their purple and vel
low sashes and the red rose bedeck-
ed antisuffragists This was the sec
ond defeat for the suffrage cause in
the national Legislature within
year. March 10 last an equal suff-
rage constitutional amendment, pro-
posed by Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon, received vote of 35 to "a In

but failing of the necessary two
thirds

night were not dismayed. AS the,

Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait and
other champions of the cause. they
declared that the fight was by nc
means over and that the suffrage pro
paganda would be pressed forward
and onward until every woman IN
America should have the right to cast
a ballot. The result was whar we
expected said Mrs Arthur NJ. Dodge

means that the suffrage movement
fostered by hysterical women is on

DON'T NURSE WORRY.
Particularly il It's Your Own Fault the
World Looks Black.

When you feel down in the mouth
and long to 20 away and hide yourself
forever; when you imagine that no one
in the world is treating you right:
when you are satisfied that your EN-
ployer is tardy in recognizing your
genius: when YOU can't divorce your
self from the idea that you are doing
the work and the other fellow Is get
ting the credit: when the time you
spend at your work seems intermina-
BILE and the time away from it seems
woefully short; when all the sky seems
to possess leaden hue; when every
thing irritates you like salt on an open
wound; when the laugh of child
CRATES on your nerves; when the food
you eat disagrees with you
Straighten up and take an inventory
of yourself Maybe it is with You that
the fault lies. Perhaps the rest of the
world is but u mirror. Don't imagine
you are carrying the world on your
shoulders. The browbeaten man Is
too often creature of his own max
ing He insists ON carrying the Old
Man of the Sea on his back when the
world is willing to relieve him Of the
burden. 1t is surprising how many
worries we can Danish by making up
our mind resolutely that we will not
