Basket : : all Teams
Divided Honors
Girls Won at independence
and Boys Lost Games by
a Small Magin.

The Chanute high school girls
basket ball team sustained its record
by defeating the Montgomery
county high school team at lndepen'
dence Friday night with a score OF
IS to I. The return game between
boys of two schools resulted in a
defeat for the Chanute team by
narrow margin of two points, the
final score being I9 to II in favor
of Montgomery county. Both
teams received good treatment In
the camp of the enemy. They were
accompanied by Miss Grace Smith
and Prof. A. ]. Bassett of the high
school faculty. Professor Bassett
was referee for both games.
The Chanute girls were not at
their best physically and were OUT
played in the first half when the
score was 6 to 7 against them.
They came back strong in the sec
ond half however with the remark
able showing of & points without
allowing their antagonists a single
point. The regular team played
the game, Misses Mae and Ruth
Filson, forwards, Inez Barnes, cen
fer guard, Alice Davis, center, Cora
Shinn and Elsie Gaugh. guards,
Miss Nellie R6mberger went on the
trip as substitute.
The boys played the game diff.
ferently in that though losing in the
end they finished the first half with
the score IS to 10 in favor of Cha
mute. In fact the locals kept the
lead until the last when the Mont
gomery county team took decided
squirt and won with 10 to II score.
Though a good game it was rough
and Chanute won 7 points on Tree
throws, averaging but one field goa
for each member of the team. The
Chanute boys failed many times tc
hit the basket when the chance
seemed good. Their playing on
the whole indicated superiority
over their opponents and the loss o.
the game On foreign court by only
two points is not bad showing.

NOT READY TO RENEW LEASE

The council voted Monday evening
to reconsider its action OF the week
before to renew with f. Ss&ilson its
five wear lease to the room occupied
by him on the first floor OF the city
hall The action was taken upon
motion of Nation who stated that
upon finding that the present lease
expires October instead OF April ist
he believed that 1T would be presump'
tion for the present council so soon to
90 out of Cffice to bind'its successors.
Bideau and Johnson favored ALLOW.
ing the previous action to stand,
Johnson arguing that the six months
was none too long In advance for Will
son to have his place Of business as
sured to him, and that there was lit
tie probability that the Commission
ers would care to occupy the room in
question. Freeman admitted the ar
guments but voted with Nation,
Hedeeu and Filson to reconsider the
leasing. Mayor Beach agreed with
the idea that it would be little pre-
sumptuous for an outgoing council &c
bind the city with a five year lease.

Income Figures Of
City for February
Monthly Receipts from Water
Department Still Continue
at Low Mark.

A total of S14,III.56 was the
city's income for the month OF
February according to the books OF
city cashier Roberts. OF this
amount $I3,72S.I7 was credited to
the municipal ownership fund and
SaS3. 90 to the general fund. The
total receipts were about $500 less
than for January when a total of
$15,6SS.a3 was received but was in
excess Of that for February 1911
which was SI3, ,36t.98
The February receipts from the
public utilities were divided as
follows: Gas SI2, ,222.7A water
S466.3S, electric light $92o.o5 and
cemetery S1r9. The items making
up the amount credited to the
general fund were license SS25.2o,
rent $45, crushed rock $780,
brick and dirt S75.25, and Sz.64
paid by the Zinc Co. to refund the
cost of printing an ordinance of
which it was the beneficiary.
The receipts from the water de-
partment were slightly above those
for January but they still show the
effects of the freezing up of meters,
and tho loss of income from property
owners whose meters have not been
read. Quite number of residences
are yet without meters and the var
ious causes tending to keep down
the city's income from the sale OF
water should bring in considerable
fund when this department of the
public utilities does eventually fur
nish its normal share of the city's
resources.

The MEXICAN WAR

1t is hard matter to keep track
of some of those big Mexican
generals. One day they seem to be
with Madero and the next leading
a band of bandits against his troops.
A regiment of rough riders would
soon clean up the forces on both
sides.
If the Mexican government does
not soon show strength enough to
put down these rowing bands of
marauders, Uncle Sam will be
compelled to send troops into the
old dominion to protect the lives
and properly of American citizens
and other foreigners.
The old world expects this
country, if 1t adheres to the Monroe
doctrine to preserve order and pro-
tect its citizens from the effects of
lawlessness.
If Mexico can't pull herself to
gether soon and establish order,
the best thing for the United States
to do is to establish a protectorate
government over her the same as
was down in Cuba. Mexico is q
land of wonderful natural wealth
and capable of becoming a mighty
nation by the civillzing power o.
education.
Now the masses are kept in ignor
ance and poverty and are only tools
for the leaders. So long as these
rowing bands of armed men arr
allowed to wander over the country
defying both natural and human
laws and living off of the toll of th'
laboring classes, there can be n
prosperity or progress towards
higher and better civilization. LIE
us have peace in Mexico if we hav
to fight for it.
