The Akron Herald of December 19
tells the truth regarding the matter.
and shows how numberless persons
have been induced through fal e
statements to spend their last d.l,ar
for job at the Goodyear rGbber
factory which was entirely different
from the one they were promised, and
that the excellent board and fine
sleeping quarters proved to be fJod
unfit for human consumption and a

THE SYSTEM

When a man has built a barn
Tax him!
When a man has cleared a farm
Tax him!
When he lays another roof,
When he grows another hoof,
Hustle round and get the proof,
Then tax him!
Has a man some idle earth
Don't tax him!
Though its climbing up in worth,
Don't tax him!
Let him reap what others sow,
They are rather chumps you know!
If they were not they would go
And tax him! Exchange.

Decides Against Health Officer

Judge Kyle on Monday morning de-
cided against the plaintiff in an ac-
ton brought by the health officer to
compel the city council to transfer
funds to pay an Indebtedness of
S1700 incurred by the board of health.
The judge cited sections of the law
in proof of his decision that it was
discretionary with the council whether
or not money should be transferred
from the general to the health fund,
that no law existed to compel such
action, and that action in mandamus
did not lie in this case because the
statutes did not make it mandatory.
Notice of appeal was given.

Investors who take advantage of
this stock-buying opportunity are not
confronted with the possibility Of put
ting their money into an uncertain
concern located at some remote point
where personal investigation may not
easily be made, and investors who take
this stock may be certain that the
property in which they are investing
is reality and not wildcat scheme
concocted in the minds Of unscrupu-

Second Offer to Customers.
This is the second time that the peo-
pie Of this territory have been privil-
eyed to invest in this company's prop
erty and the officials Of the company
believe that the customers of the con-
Germ are the logical people to enjoy
the financial benefits of their own
lighting company.
With absolute confidence in the fu-
ture expansion Of this section served
by this company with electricity for
light and power, the officials have the
same confidence with regard to the fu-
ture Of the company and feel that they
can, without the least hesitation, rec
ommend the proposition to the people.
It is certain that with the future
growth and progress Of this part Of
our state, there will come greater ex-
pansion and success for the company.
In order to do its part in assisting in
this growth and progress by extending
its lines and facilities Of service, II is
necessary for the company to make
expenditures. From time to time new
money must be obtained for these pur-
poses. The company would much pre-

OF Mutual Advantage.
Mr.. A. j. Duncan, president Of the
company, in explaining the working Of
this plan, said: ave believe such
partnership with a large number Of
people will be to our mutual advan-
tage. The man, woman or child who
becomes shareholder will gain by re-
ceiving dividends from well estab-
lished business with steady and
growing demand for its service. The
company will gain from them a more
cordial interest in its affairs and a
better understanding Of what well
