Basket ball fans about town are very much worked up over the high school team. It went to Princeton Friday and defeated that splendid team in the gymnasium there. Our boys have no place to play ball, or for that matter, anything else, except in the blessed out doors. The weather is not always agreeable. — The Princeton game was the first pur team had been in for three months and bad gone all that time without practice. Several people about town have been urging the advisibility of securing a gymnasium. One man told Prof. Johnson he would give $100 on a gymnasium and another told him be would give $20. It Is to be hoped some plan will be devised whereby the boys can have a playhouse. The team will play Owensviile at Owens-viile Friday evening of this waek. Supt. Cockrum of the Princeton high school has consented to allow our fellows to practice at the Princeton gymnasium while waiting for a train there. That old bird, tbe stork, apparently sensing what man in all his wisdom can not forecast, prepares for wars by bringing into the homes of the nations that are about to go to war an unusu. ally large consignment of boy babies. He not only anticipates war’s ravages, but, sensing the end of hostilities, again comes flying over the chimney tops with more boy babies—after wars. That, in substance, is the statement made by Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health commissioner when he finished compiling his report on vital statistics for November. Scientists have discovered. Dr. Hurty said, that more boy babies than girl babiss are bora just before » war and just at its close, apparently to keep the supply of males depleted by war up to a standard so tbe race will not die out That discovery of science is borne out in the birth reports for November last year, the latest available. Tbe total number of births for the month wss 4.200. Of that number 2,140 were boys and 2,069 ware girls, the boy babies having a margin of seventy-ons over tbe girls.

This Is a pabÍn»rioñ that has been growing smaller year by year. Only delinquencies on real estate are published. Persons who do not pay personal tax and have no real estate in their name do not get advertised. The law should be that every man who does not pay his tax, whether a real etate owner or not.should be advertised. Many men who do not pay taxes under these conditions, would pay. Many of the real estate delinquencies o4||real estate are caused by the taxpayer not giving tbe county treasurer a list of his real etsate when he goes to pay taxes. Tbe treasurer does not know what real etsate tbe taxpayer owns and if some of it ie omiteff be doesn ot know it. The taxpayer should examine his tax receipts and see that all his land is listed. Many people think that if they ask the treasurer to collect all the tax they owe and soirtething is missed it lets them out. Nothing is farther from tbe fact. The treasurer is not presumed to know what property tbe taxpayer owns. Look the delinquent list over, you may be listed. . ^ Willard Mason died in Camp McClellan Saturday of influenza.
