sake don't make medicants cut OF them.
pleads the Britt Tribune in opposition
TO teachers pensions.
Not necessarily "mendicants" nor
unsuccessful as financiars-there's no
chance for speculation and the teacher
who begins child-trsining as a school
girl and is faithful in her work for
twenty, thirty and even forty years is
entitled not only to wages" the graf

Minnesota is one of the most pro-
gressive states in theu MON: last week
the governor signed the sill providing
for the payment of pensions of $3.50 a
year TO those who have taught twenty
years.
1t is a matter Of appreciation on the
part of parents, not "mendicancy."

Cosson-especially along the line Of

good little library Of these subjects and

ways to embarrass the 1915 crop of
newlyweds may as well turn over and
go to sleep. From present indications
his services will not be needed. There
is strong sentiment against him ana

papers are beginning to publish ar
ticles of interest to the June brides,
and all unite in advising against horse
play after the ceremony. 1t is ad-
mitted that the bride and groom ought
to expect little rice throwing-ought
to. in fact, enjoy it for the spirit It
manifests. But decoration of luggage
with white favors and ridiculous
placards, the tying of cowbells to the
rear axle of the cab or auto, rihing,
stealing or substitution of articles in
the luggage and all other fool stunts
of the professional wedding humorist
are relegated TO the limbo Of "old

THE KIND WANTED.


The world today wants dependable
men, men who remain on the job in
sunshine and storm, thru good and bad
times: the men who can and do make
their word good. Such men never lack
for employment or advancement when
the need comes. One manufacturer
recently said: I'VE can employ more
$3.50 TO SO per day men than we need;
but the men capable of holding down
jobs worth from $4,000 per year and
upward can not be secured" And yet
there are young men who complain
about the lack of opportunity. Success
ful men make their opportunities.

Electors Of Marietta School District
;';:s..s TAKE Asv-rt.e. Of Special
Law Senator W. n. Annoy Had En-
/ acted and Acquire vaeant Tract In
Center Of Village For School Uses.

The village Of Marietta and school
district No. Of Marietta township has
a new and ample school site. Taking
advantage Of the bill Introduced in the
senate by Senator w. H. Arney. and
passed early in the session, the school
district of Marietta Monday came into
possession Of whar was formerly the
public square ofSthe village.
The bill was passed for that special
purpose. The vote was 10 for and 4
against. According to the law q ma
jority affirmative vote automatically
transfers title Of the land from the
village to the school district.
May 30 New School Site.
The square, which consists of a tract
about the size of q city square. block.
will. become the site for either q new
school or the site for the old building
which stands not lar, distant from it.
Until 1t Is occupied sby a building the
ground win be used for, playground.
If at some time the eastern part Of
Marietta township should be kconsoli-
dated, the square would make q. splen-
did site for a consolidated school. Men
Of the district Interested ii the school
district acquiring the square, say that
the acquisition Of tho trace does not
mean that consolidation IL contem-
plated
The law which made it possible for
the school district to acquire this land
was in brief that when any town had
discontinued Its organization, and
when a petition calling for a special
election in the school district to ac-
quire public square is signed by one
third Of the resident electors, it then
becomes the. duty of the board to call
such special election. The law went
into effect in February.

by w. z. Innss-Pries Said to Be
$4,000.

f a e
An interesting and large transaction
in uptown business property that prob
ably fixes new front footage value for
property of it's class was negotiated
today when w. F. Innes. Of the Joseph
Jewelry Company, contracted for the
purchase of the building at % East
Main street of the Della L. b. Conover
estate. The price paid for the prop
erty was said to be $22, 900, which is at
the rate Of $1,100 q front foot
The property fronts twenty-feet on
Main street and is $50 feet deep. The
improvements consist Of an old two
story building, in a fairly good state
Of repair. having ground dimensions OF
20x180 feet. The Joseph Jewelry Com
pany, which Mr. lines owns, occupies
the front Of the first floor, the rear of
which is occupied by the John w.
Wells printing Office. The second floor
is occupied by offices.
The site is among the most valuable
in the business district, and purchase
was made 80 that the Joseph Jewelry
Company might remain in possession
without having to stand a stiff adj
vance in rent. The long time lease
held by the company, which was nego-
tiated at a rental that is much lower
than adjoining property, would. have
expired in two years, when the rent
would undoubtedly have been adj
vanced. ,Innes negotiated the purchase
