This is the second time this store has been burgeralized within the past two weeks It seems to us that it high time for our merchants to get their heads togather and hire a eight watohmun as the above goes to show that we have a thief in onr midst and he ought to be brought to jus tico The school board met on Tuesday night to decide on a system or books to ue used in our city school. This is a good idea for as it has been since pchool open ed, no progress could be made, as there was hardly two scholars who had the ft 1 3 same series ot books Anotner goou featuro of our school will be that the par ents will not be put to any extra expense by a chaufie as it is the intention of the board to furbish all books cccessary. Johnathan Tinkler is making arrange ments to retire from the old firm of Tinkler Co. and to devote his time entirely to his banking business. We are sorry to loose Mr, Tinkler from our list of merchants as he was the first to veuture in that lino, but we are not going to loose him entirely so we can submit.

We wish Mr. Tinkler buocess and hope to see the day when the Gypsum Valley Bank will have the word "National" over its doors. Why isn't there a move made toward organizing a Building and Loan Assooia-tion. As an explanation of its usefulness we copy the following from the McPherson Freeman: "Those who stand in no need of the easy terms upon which money can bi borrowed through the association should take shares as an investment, and while having a safe and remunerative invest ment of funds, will at the same time assist those who are iiot so flush, to secure loans on small and payments, thus enablcing them to help build up the city. On the other hand day laborers and small dealers and others of limited financial ability, who are paying but all they can rake and scrape for rent, will find it to theia advantage, in all respects, to take Rhaes in the association.

Then by pay- ingf in weekly dues what they now pay in rei, in five years they will have a house of their own. Paying rent is throwing awav money, in comparison with this arrangement. len dollars per montn. that has to be paid for a very poor and ordinary house, would enable the one paying it to carry five shares, of two hun dred dollars each, making a total of one thousand dollars. This share bolder could then borrow out ef the association the one thousand dollars, build a muoh better house than the one he is paying rent for, and pay back to the aasooiation, at the rate of two dollars and fifty cent per week, or ten dollars-per month, until the home is clear and the owdar would find himself the fortunate possessor of property worth not ealy the original one theaeand dollars, bat- perhaps ten times that a the value of property here has more' than doubled io the Mart two months.
