THINKS BOARD OF REVENUE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED IN PLAN TO ISSUE WARRANTS FOR ADE- QUATE BUILDING FOR FUTURE


 a'As one of the first advocates of a new county building, and having been on the bench in one of the courts of the county with full comprehension of the crowded conditions, I want to protest against the unwarranted waste of s50,o00 on an inade- ouate wing for the present building, said Judge A. c. Howze yesterday.
 T consider it not only waste of money, fruitless expenditure of time, but an impolitic step which would make it almost impossible to get a new county building at a later date.

BASKETBALL AT
 THE HIGH SCHOOL

Two of the big games of the High school basketball season will be pulled off this afternoon when the Freshmen tackle the Seniors and the Sophomores play the Juniors. The game between the SopEomores and the Juniors will probably be the most closely contested. The Freshmen have been showing up to such good advantage that it is expected they will wallop the Seniors good and proper.
 So far in the class league the Juniors have a clear percentage with the Fresh mon close second. Captain Searight Of the Juniors and Jennings of the Freshmen are the two leaders of the moremost teams in the race. It is claimed that the class chamrionship lies between the Freshmen and the Juniors. The games win be played at the High school gym nasium.
 ', ednesday the girls teams will play, the Freshmen. being pitted against the Training Class and the Juniors against the Sophomores. The leading teams of the girls are the Juniors and the Sopho- mores. and one of the two will probably carry.--oY the colors at the end of the season. The interest in, the contest is nteIse and a large attendance is ex- pected. The girls especially have been making good showing and have fully demonstrated that they can play basket ball as well as the boys.
