On this occasion the imperial
government, however, cannot es-

important facts having a direct

attention of the American govern

STRANGE FACTS.

1t is fact that the taxpayers of
Phillips county pay more to the
state for the protection of stock
than they do for the protection of
it's citizens from tuberculosis. For
the year just closed the State Stock,
Bounty and Detective Fund drew
from Phillips county the sum of ST.
487.S1. The Live Stock and Sanitry
Board received $991.87, and the
State Bounty Fund from the sale of
saloon licenses $162.69. Phillips
county contributes to the State In
sane Asylum and the tuberculosis
institutions the sum of $173.03.
The institution for tuberculosis pa
tients is over crowded and is unable
to take care of one-tenth the pa
tients of the state who have not the
finances to fight the dread disease.
There seems to be something
wrong with the laws and the law
makers of the state when a higher
value is placed on stock than on
human life, and it is something the
people of the state should insist on
having made right at the next ses-
sion of the body of law makers.

UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH.

The Christmas program will be
given Friday evening at 1880. The
program will not be so elaborate as
would have been had we been able
to use the new church as was ex-
pected. 1t will be good and inter-
esting, however, and all who come
will be we'll entertained. A Christ
mas tree has been provided to sup
for all the children.
On Friday evening of next week,
there will be a Watch Night SER
vice in the basement of the new
church, which will last until after
midnight. A good program will be
given the Sunday school will pro-
vide refreshments and lunch at a
small cost, and every one who comes
can have a good helpful time say
ing farewell to the old year, and
welcoming the new. Something
will be on the program for every
hour from eight o'clock until after
twelve, or from 1915 to 1915. All
the people Of Malta, and everywhere
else are invited to come.
Rev. j. L. Higinbotham, our new
missionary, has just closed good
meeting at Coburg and organized a
church with eleven members. He
plans to begin a meeting at Harlem
next month.
The opening of the new church
here will probably take place on the
third Sunday in January 1t will
not be dedicated until March OF
April when Bishop Fout will be
here. 1t will be christened Calvary
United Brethren Church. It will
be roomy, modern and comfortable
and we hope to make it the peoples
church, make it homelike, so thai
all the people will feel doubly vel
come and at home. The people OF
Malta have helped nobly to make il
possible, and we feel under renewed
obligations to work harder and be
mare considerate to the cause of oul
Lord whose birth we commemorate
this week.
Next Sunday we hope to see every
member of the Sunday school ant
church in the morning and evening
services. The Bible school has beer
remarkably good in recent weeks
both in attendance and interest.
We extend sincere wishes, ant
hearty good will to all for a Merr,
Christmas and Happy New Year.

I the rich owned automobiles; now
they are becoming the farmers car

use o. gasoline for agricultural pur-
poses, the farmer would feel that he
was being singled out and made to
bear new burdens for the benefit of
munitiOn factories to get ready for
imaginary wars. a. sy,l.-.es ,-s,q4.,.. ..-. .-ss
If an additional income tax is re-
sorted to, the democrats will, I think
insist that the burden be placed on
on large incomes and inheritances,
rathre than on the incomes of those
who will have to do the fighting if
there is any to be done.
The Presidents pan of taxation
is quite sure to arouse opposition
among the republicans, whose sup
port is solicited, as we'll as among
the democrats. The republicans are
not likely to favor the new income
taxes, and they will probably de-
mand a condition to their support
an increase in the tariff to which
the democrats will not consent.
While the Presidents plan to
largely increase the appropriations
for the army and navy ought to fail
i because there is no necessity for
such increase, it's defeat will be
made more certain by the dissen-
si0ns sure to arise over the different
kinds Of taxation.

THE SACO BASKET BALL GAME,

Last Friday evening the high
school boys made a second invasion
of Saco. Clad in new uniforms, UNI
soiled by the smoke and gore of bat
tie the Malta fusiliers stormed the
intrenchments of the Saco light in
'fantry, and when the smoke had
cleared away the score was SO to 13
in favor of the invading army. Bur-
ner Survant shot baskets with an
accuracy that would put a German
bomb thrower to shame. George
Robinson, playing at guard, re-
peatedly intercepted the ball and
started it back toward the Malta
goal. Norman Stubblefield new
recruit under fire for the first time,
out jumped and outplayed his OPP
ponert at center. The other boys
played strong game. There was
never doubt as to the outcome of
the fray The first basket was
scored after a single pass. Others
came just as easy. Saco scored only
three goals from field. The remain
ing Z points were made by free
throws due to fouls called upon the
Malta team. Malta scored but four
of their points by field goals. More
fouls We're called on Malta than on
Saco, although the Malta boys
played just as clearly as the saco
boys. This was the first game for
the Saco boys. They played we'll.
but were outweighed by several
pounds. Should another match be
arranged between the two schools
there is little doubt but that the
down river boys will put forth
stronger opposition.
The goals were scored as fol-
loves:
Malta-Survant II, Stubblefeld
4, Brown 2, and Richardson /. Free
throws, Survant 4.
Saco-Schultz 3. Free throws,
Erickson Z.
Positions of teams:
Partridge. ri. Broadbrooks
Survant If. Schultz
stubblefield c. Erickson
Richardson re-. Crutchfield
Robinson lg. Lee
Brown took the place of Part
ridge in the second half. Taylor re-
placed Lee in the second half.
The Malta boys are out to win.
from defeat. This might be assured
such is not the intention.
Tonight Thursday EVENING" the
boys are at Hinsdale, pitted against
mems team. Next Thursday, Dec.
80, they will go to Glasgow to play
their first game. against an accredit-
ed high school. After the holidays
it is possible that a trip will be
arranged during which Chinook and
Havre will be met on their homo
floors. Probably this will close tho
season.
The boys are united in the regret
that they can arrange no games at
home so that the basket ball fans Of
Malta may enjoy something of the
game.
The boys have some stiff games
ahead. which require the loyal sup
port of the school and the town. A
kindly word of encouragement is
worth great deal. Are you willing
