TOWN BASKETBALL TEAM.
To Begin Training at Once-AIi High
School Players.

Danielson is to have a town basket
ball team this winter that will be very
probably one of the fastest in the state
1t is to be made UP of Sidney P. Mar
land, William Marland, John Marland,
Wallace Paine, Paul N. Swaffield and
a Mr.. Potter. All of these men are
fast and experienced players, veterans
or scores of trying games. They are
to begin their training at once. The
schedule that is being arranged for
them will enable them to meet such
teams az Springfield A. A., Emmett
Guards of Worcester, Millbury and
other teams in Worcester, Taftville
and number of other Connecticut
teams. Every man of the local team
has been rated a high grade player and
some Of them are ranked with the best
players this part of the state ever pro-
duced. After they have been hardened
to the test OF hard and fast playing
and have developed their team work
they are certain to make a very form
liable aggregation and it will take a
real basketball team to beat them. They
expect to play throughout the entire
season, and, of course, will be seen
in action in some home games. Potter
was formerly a Taftville player and
Swaffield made a record as a star of
the Brown University team. The other
players are we'll known Throughout
Eastern Connecticut.

Rent-Payer Ranks Some Property
Owners.
The habit of some taxpayers, and of
some taxpayers who do not pay their
taxes, in making sarcastic comment
about voters who do not own the
clothes on. their back voting ON ap-
preparation matters in town and
borough meetings is becoming more
openly resented by many persons up
on whom the criticism is apt to re-
fleet, men who are honest, hardwork-
ing citizens possessed of as sound
judgment and common sense, as are
many who happen to be sufficiently
fortunate ae to own assessable prop
erty.
Some men who are only rent pay
ers have dared to arrive at that stage
of analysis and freethinking /. where
they have convinced themselves that
the rentpayer Is more often than not
the taxpayer in the humble home he
happens to occupy and it has come to
be something Of a proposition to prove
to them that he hasn't as much right
to vote on appropriations, m9rally as
well as legally as the man in whose
name the properly is assessed.
Men who own property mortgaged to
the limit allowed by law and whose
taxes are in arrears may vote and
welcome, according to the view of
some critics Of the poor" man. but
the fellow who doesn't happen to be
listed among the taxpayers. though he
be citizen wso spends his income at
home and uses his best judgment to
pass upon an appropriation matter
without hearing the squeal Of the self
appointed censors Of what other people
pies rights.

cHARITY Ball ToNIeHr.
Attractive Features Arranged-coneer
Folk Dances and. Gavotte.

Tonight the second annual Charity
ball to be given in this city will take
place in the handsome state armory
on Pleasant street, and the social sea-
son will be formally opened. Last
years ball was a great success, and
the plans for this years affair are even
more elaborate than was the case a
year ago. Under the direction OF Miss
Edith Paschal some seventy young
people have been trained in the exc
cution of folk dances, and will give an
exhibition of these just after the con-
cert programme, and before the dance
programme starts. During an inter-
mission in the first half of the order
Of dances an exhibition Of the gayotte
directoire will be given by Miss Flor
ence Howie and Miss Evelyn Thomp-
son, who have been coached by Pro-
fessor d. F. Clifford. The sale of box
es has met with success, and the adj
vance sale of tickets has been most
successful, so that the ball bids fair
to exceed that OF last year both in
numbers present and in interest.-Adv.
