small crowd witnessed by far the best
basket ball game ever played here
when the Branch Athletic Clubs first
team defeated the fast Bushey Bust
ness College team of Appleton by a
score of 46 to 25. The game was excit-
ing throughout the whole 40 minutes
of play. The score in the first half
was II to 2. When the second hat
started the visitors jumped in the lead
by throwing 3 baskets in succession.
After that the locals held them down
and by fast team work and sensational
basket shooting the locals forged
ahead. Deland OF Appleton refereed
good game, only two fouls being
called during the entire game.

State School Money

| Districts will soon receive their por-
| ton of the state school money. The
county treasurer has sent out state
ment of the amount to be apportioned
to each town clerk. The town clerk
apportions the money to the various
districts of the town. The per capita
apportionment for persons of school
age is $2.7S3. Ten cents for every child
is deducted and goes toward the teach
! ras' pension fund. Districts then will
receive $2.6S3, but of this amount ten
| cents is used for library purposes and
is withheld by the county treasurer.
So the amount of state school money
! each district will receive in cash is
S2.5S3. Last year the apportionment
was $2.423 and with the library money
deducted was $2.323. The total amount
| received for the county including the
cities was $42, O62.2l. The amount that
will be withheld for library purposes
is $972.7O.
This state school fund is secured in
two ways.
LIST BY 7-l0 mill tax.
End Interest derived from state
| school fund.
OF the per capita apportionment OF
$2.7S3 for each child Ofschool age, about
$2.504 is secured by the 40 mill tax,
and $.279 is derived from the interest
on the state school fund.

of Gloves from Chiefs
Overcoat Pocket.

While the regular session Of police
court was going on Tuesday morn
ing, some unknown person entered
the police station and stole pair of
gloves out Of Chief of Police Harry
l.. Brooks's overcoat. The monetary
value of the gloves is not what
.bothers the chief but the fact that

him from dear friend makes him
feel bad over the loss. All the mem
bers of the force are keeping a close
watch for the gloves today and as
all the people who were in the sta
ton are known, the guilty party
should better return the gloves to
save trouble.
