Is. the big thermometer at the side
of Dr Frill’s office will bo shattered
by the heat from the Are of enthos-
ia*m of Scio people. The god Mar
ctirv is the emblem of speed, and
the bonds will sell fast. Mercury is
also a chemical, used to show the
temperature, and that is why the
thermometer was built.
The brat invesment you can make
will tie that bond or number of
bonds that you buy there will be
n<> gambling with them, they do not
sell at 78 one day and make a sen­
sational raise in price to 140 the
next Thev are sold at par. and will
tw redeemed at par. When you take
th<* high school's bond you are not
taking "a scrap of papsr.” but theii
promise to repay, you do not donate

Why. we say, the gym will bo the
be-«t investment you can make, is
that it will lx a drawing card to
bring new families to Scio, new
children to the school. Every new
family that comas to Scio «pends
money in Scio. They make Scio a
bigyer town, and most of them
make Scio a better Iowa. The mer­
chants get the beneflt of their trads.
the city gets more taxes, and as
Scio grows the farma near Seie In­
crease in value bemuse they are

The gym is one of the "aoet MC-
ga-ary of school rooms, for It is one
that provides healthful recreation
during the winter months, when out
door play is impossible. How much
better it is to know that the boys
are at the gvm boxing or slaving
some healthy indoor game than to
have them running the street*,
drunk on nume-made whisky at
some out of the way daaee or in
any other mischief.
The gym IS an investment in the
future generation. We real I as. aa
time goes on. that each generation
must have better training than the
generation before it. Abe Lincoln
