The officers serve with out salary and include among- them some of the most reputable citizens of the State. To make the company strong on account of its brilliant fu ture it has secured leases on over MOO acres of land. It has obtained the highest expert authority on the geological formation of the land, employed the strongest expert work men to operate the driving apparatus and given such other evidence of good faith to warrant any man making an investment with them.

Do it NOW. StocK for Sate For Development Pa ose? The per value of the stock is $100 per share, but is now offered at one half ($30) and it is worth it The company has already sold a limited amount of stock, equipped the prop erty with the best working machinery in the world and it has plans for a great future. The money secured from the sale of stock will be to push the work. Every dolar will be used to prepare for the best interest of the company. As the drill goes down the stock will surely rise. The price it is now offered at will only be a short i time. A good rule is to let oppor tunity in when it knocks at the door. For an investment there is nothing more tangible, brighter or more surer dvidend paying than this stock, par ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait until it goes to par, but buy now. It is really a chance that comes seldom.

Cares Backachf Corrects Irregularities Do not risk having Bright's Diseaaa or Diabetes WHY TEACHERS RESIGN ARERDUEX Wash., World- Twenty teachers nearly half of the entire teaching staff of the city have resigned from the Aberdeen public schools. More than half of these resignations are due to matrimonial plans. In commenting on this matter, President Hart of the board of edu cation, said that resignation are com mon at this time of the year. He does not think that small salaries are the cause of retirement. ."The salaries of the teachers may not be up to the standard paid in larger cities" he said, "but they are about as high as Aber deen can afford to pay. They have been increased a little each year and there will be a slight increase this year. Another member of the board put it this way: "Teachers are finding married life a pleasanter existence than the hum drum of school cares." So far as known but two resigna tions are due to a demand for high er salaries. Several are due to a de sire to go to other places to teach and are not the result of fault finding with the system, pay or anything else in Aberdeen. The contract plan is not in force here.
