TEAM
PRIMED FOR c. U.

Emmitsburg. Nd, Nov 25-Mount ST.
Mary's football squad finished up to-day
the hardest week OF the season. With
the final game Thanksgiving Day with
the Catholic University, at Washington,
the local boys are just beginning to find
themselves and play real football. With
the added interest in this coming game
the second team has been REINFORCED
to such an extent that Coach Thompson
has been able to have daily scrimmages
all week.
New faces will appear in the lineup
Thursday in place Of some of the old
men who think they have their jobs
well in hand. The recent scrimmages
have brought out such newcomers as
McKenna, who has made remarkable
progress at tackle. Kells, Long, and
Larkin have shown that they can hold
their own with the first set OF backs, and
viii, no doubt, appear in the lineup.
The Mountaineers are anxious to win
this game, and every effort is being
made to do SO. Coach Thompson has
been changing the lineup every day, so
that 1t is rather hard to surmise who
he viii play. As this Is the letter game
for the Mountaineers. he has them all
guessing. Consequently, plenty Of hard
work, with results, il being derived.

The object in publishing the above
figures is to afford each property owner
reliable proof as to the very small
amount each one will have to pay to-
ward the cost of paving intersections.
1t means that the person owning a
home worth One Thousand Dollars will
be obliged to pay only eighty-four cents
each year, for period of ten years, and
after that time, the assessments will
slightly increase in order that the prn
cipal Indebtedness may be retired, but
within ten or twenty years, Moscow
pi operty should so greatly enhance in
value that the principal Indebtedness of
$4,000 will be retired without increasing
the present rate of taxation.
In view of the excellent pay roll which
will be created locally by this municipal
work and the vast amount of employ
mcnt which will be afforded Moscow
residents Git being generally stated by
paving companies that fully 20 per cent
of the total contract price is paid ont
locally for material, supplies and services
of laborers and teams) you are earnestly
entreated to support this measure igor
ously and use your best efforts to make
the bond election not only success,
but unanimous. Let there not be 4 dis
senting vote.
Every public spirited citizen should be
interested in the Improvement and de-
velopment of Moscow through the paw
ing of streets and it should be fully
realized that our city has already enierg
ed from the village class and is assam
ing the proportions and aspect of a real
city. Let each one assist in this develop
ment and progress by voting YES" on
