The JUNIOR TEAM

ketball Tournament at the
High School.
REEVES PROVES A STAR
Excellent Basket Shooting Wins for
His Squad-All Sections Tied
for First.

All dope concerning the outcome
Of the second annual boys basketball
tournament was completely upset
Yesterday afternoon when the fresh
men trimmed the juniors in one of
the hottest fought battles seen on the
high school floor for some time.
While II was known that the first
year men had a fast FIVE, it was gen.
orally thought that the juniors, who
defeated the seniors last Friday,
would have little trouble in dispos-
ing Of the freshmen, who were bested
by the sophomores on the opening
day OF the tourney. The seniors
downed the sophomores in a dashing
game and consequently all four
teams have one win and loss to
their credit. The winners of the
contests this afternoon will be tied
for first place which will necessitate
the playing Of a game Wednesday
afternoon for the championship OF
the school.
REEVES Is THE STAR.
The freshmen defeated the juniors
by the close score Of 90 to 16, and
the glory of victory belongs TO
Reeves, the star of the freshmen
team, whose brilliant basket shoot
ing coupled with the excellent team
work of the FIVE caused the down
fan of the upper classmen. Over
coming a lead Of two points early in
the second period, which the juniors
had az the close of the first half, the
freshmen continued 70 throw basket
after basket. getting a lead which
they maintained until the final
whistle was blown. The juniors were
somewhat handicapped by the alb
sence of Eock from the lineup and
they entered the battle with chang
cd front. Captain Mcneil took cen

AT THE GRAND.

The impossibility of being happy
with an income of 100000 and ex-
penditure of $4,000 and the trou
BILE which results from a consistent
effort to do so is the lesson taught
by THE Spendthrift," the Porter
Emerson Browne play, which, under
the direction of Frederick Thompson
comes to the Grand Thursday night.
Its third act is one of the features
of THE Spendthrift," which has
served to make Porter Emerson
Browne play one of the most widely
discussed dramas of recent years.
The denouement is precipitated by
the discovery on the part of her hus-
band that his wife has accepted-as
loan-a large sum of money from
a man whose reputation for philan-
thropy does not balance his notori-
ETY. as a rogue. To satisfy himself
of the truth of her explanation Of
the financial transaction, the hus-
band forces his wife to summon the
money-lender to her room at mid
night, having her call him at his
club by phone and confronts the two
of them. The situation is unconven-
tional in the extreme and the eli
max is made doubly impressive by
sudden, rather startling twist CIV
en- it by the playwright.

REMITTANCES
f. W. Editorial Writer.
HEART TO HEART.

Having purchased The Herald, a
weekly republican newspaper, pub
lished at Marshall, ILL.,, the county
seat of Clark county, the editorial
writer of The Review has resigned his
position as postmaster OF DenisOn, to
take effect September LIST, or as soon
thereafter as his successor may be ap-
pointed and qualified. This change
will also necessitate the severance OF
his connection with The Review.
There remain, therefore, but a few
weeks, at most, during which we can
talk to the big Review family whom
we shall never cease to love. We pro-
pose, in the little time remaining, to
have series of heart-to-heart talks
with the old friends who have been
loyal to us and to the Review through
two generations. We may have some
criticisms to offer, but they will be
friendly criticisms, for the heart at
such b time is too full of love and the
regret of parting, for bitterness to
have place, but we are going to talk
Ito our readers as, perhaps, we have
never done before, because we are
conscious that the time is short, that
there is much to say and that never
again, shall we occupy, with the folks
of Crawford county, that intimate and
friendly relationship which an editor
should bear to his readers.

How different is Europe from Amer
lea! In America, to gamble is to be
criminal. In Europe, to interfere

is against the law. For instance two
enterprising Americans who had in

at various watering places have been
expelled from France. Over here
that would be referred to as a police

ILLINOIS HAS LANL CREDIT BANK

JOLIET. ILL.,, recently organized
the first financial institution intended
to meet the generally recognized fact
that the American farmer pays a
higher rate of interest for his working
capital, security considered, than al
most any other borrower in the world.
Abroad in most agricultural commune
ties there are strong and long organic
ed credit associations which lend the
farmers money at much lower rates
than the American farmers pay.
The associations issue mortgage
| bonds against the mortgages and Sc
cure capital for the business by sell
ing the bonds to investors. These as
, sociations originated in the days when
organized assistance for the farmer
ding money was almost unknown.
They have grown up in great numbers
and are very popular both with the
farmers who are able to get needed
money at a low rate and with the
investors who are able to get fair
return on their money and good secur-
ity for the capital invested. The for
eign agriculturist has the privilege OF
repaying his loan in small amounts,
gets lower rates, and is saved renewal
commissions, etc. The Credit Foncier
de France is the largest institution OF
the sort
The first American organization @.
the kind was incorporated in Joliet in
July. The new company has capita
of $25O,O00
