Shall Gardiner, Me-, Have A
New High School Building ?

present valuation one mill yields us
three thousand five hundred dollars.
The proposed requirements therefore
would call for the addition of six
seventies Of mill to our present rate
of taxation, or eighty-five cents on
each thousand dollars.
d. OF course to this constructive ex-
pense we must add a certain amount
for increased administrative expense
since the yearly maintenance of such
O plant would cost several hundred
dollars over our present equipment.
But unless we were to add several
new teachers which shall be charged
not to our High School Faculty, but
to the teaching force of the lower
grades, this additional expense would
not be great varying from quarter
to a half mill per thousand, making
a total cost from one dollar to one dol
lar and quarter per thousand.
e. Such an addition to our tax rate
would not seem, or actually be,
burden provided we had been properly
educated in the past to generous pub
lie spirit. Unfortunately the curse or
glory of any administration in the past
has been far too much the sole con-
sideration of whether the rate of tax
alton has been raised or lowered. We
must learn to bring forward and en-
phasiZe other more vital and worthy
considerations as motives for civic &C.
ton.
f. Moreover such n small addition
of eighty-tive cents per thousand dol
lars ceuld be no great burden to the
rank and file of our taxpayers who
are comparatively small property hold
ers. AS in justice should be the case,
it would throw the burden of the in
crease upon men of substantial and
increasing possessions. 1t is encour-
aging to note that our weather. peo-
pie as a whole who will have to bear
the greater addition are in sympathy
with the project and of this method
of meeting the requirements.
4. In these final remarks Of this
closing article of the series, | wish to
emphasize the needs and values to be
met and gained by such a step. The
numerical and physical needs are very
great and urgent, but the change in
tone and quality TO be wrought in our
future citizenship, under such civic
movement and its future blessings,
will be beyond computation.
a. An era of intellectual, moral. and
spiritual prosperity would be added to
| our present Industrial growth which
would be of greatest possible blessing
TO all our people. and would give to
our children and the coming genera
ton such a vision and preparation for
life as would greatly enrich their char
acters and nobly affect their growing
responsibilities in all true citizenship.
b. There are slumbering forces in the
individual hearts, and numerous or
CARNATIONS throughout our city, which
should be awakened and centralized
around such a noble task. When
awakened and called into action our
| people have more than once accom-
plished inspiring and lasting results to
! the good of our city. Let our men,
| women and youth rally around this
| present task and we shall gloriously
accomplish the end, and even find a
| now joy and power in the true mean
| ings of citizenship.

FederalLeagueM May
Force Baseball War
To Federal Court.

Chicago Jan. 21.-The decisive bat
tie of the baseball war of 1914 may be
fought in a federal court This was
intimated today by persons close to
the promoters of the Federal League,
who served notice that they would
fight any attempt of clubs in organized
ball to sign their players. The legal
ity of the reserve clause in the con-
tracts of National and American
Lea CUES will be the point about which
the battle will rage.
After delivering challenge to or
ganized ball, declaring the Federal
League would protect" its players
and their contracts, President Gill
more of the new organization disap-
peared today.
The announcement of the signing of
William Killifer and A9 Brennan by
the Philadelphia Nationals was made
so soon after Gilmore had warned the
Quaker City Club that the Federals
would fight if Killifer and Brennan
were signed with it, that it looked to
the Gilmore coherts like the formal
picking up Of the gauntlet.
at it comes to bidding for players,
we will be as strong as anybody said
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago Federals.
In addition to other players who Wis
tied Federal League headquarters,
Zwilling, purchased from ST. Joseph
by the Boston Nationals, talked with
the members of the new league today.

BROWNS HOTEL DINNER BELL
Search Being Made for Old Ringer
That Called People to Their
Meals.

A Washingtonian of long residence
has written to a local newspaper for
information as to the big dinner bell
of the Indian Queen, or Browns hotel.
He thinks that this old bell that called
people to their meals in that old hotel
for many years may be in the posses
sion of somebody in Washington. He
says that in 1895 a little hotel was
built in the square on the north side
of Pennsylvania avenue near Sixth
street. and that some time after the
removal of the seat of government to
Washington hotel called the Metro
politan" was built there. The name
of that hotel was changed in 1920 to
the Indian Queen Tavern" kept by
a man named Brown, and the place
was variously known as the Indian
Queen" and as Browns hotel" There
was a huge swinging sign in front of
the hotel and the feature of that sign
was the painted picture of an Indian
girl or Indian queen, which was said
to represent Poeahontas
In front of the hotel was a post and
bell, like those which may be seen
now in front of many country or small
town hotels in Maryland and Virginia.
That bell was rung at mealtime and
the story is that it was such large
bell and that its tone was so loud that
1t could be heard all over the then in
habited part of Washington.
