COLLECT TAXES
County Treasurer G. A. Friese Out.
lines Plan Which Is Expected
To Simplify Collecting.

County Treasurer Charles Friese
has a plan for the collection Of
taxes which it is expected will
greatly increase the efficiency of
the Office and be an aid to taxpay-
ers. The system in brief. calls for
the placing of tax memorandum
books in banks in each township,
where the payer deposits his mon
ey with the bank. receiving receipt
by mail after having sent to the
collectors ofice statement of
taxes.
As explained by Mr.. Friese, the
memorandum books are similar to
tax collectors books, inasmuch as
the name. description OF property
and amount of taxes is contained
The book is written up the same as
the original tax book, and the
names of the payers appear on the
same line. number and page as in
the book at the ONCE in the. court
house. Self-addressed stamped
envelopes will be sent out for the
ASO "a tuC t0Ap0yCl, &IOu6 WIN Tue
memorandum book and blank state
ments for the person to fill out
A bank in each township, ex-
cepting Mercer, will be furnished
these books and statements. the
taxpayer will visit the bank, de-
post or draw a check for the
amount Of the taxes, fill out the
statement and mail lit, together
with his check to the county ONCE.
When received the treasurer will
enter the statement in the tax book
at his ONCE and mail a receipt to
the payer. This system, as worked
out by Mr. Friese will enable. every
taxpayer to have his money in
without undue delay, or fnconyen-
fence to himself due to travelling
several miles to pay the taxes at
the court house. Residents OF
Mercer township will pay their
taxes at the treasurer's ONCE in
the court house.
Help SUFFICIENT to take care of
the enormous rush will be secured.
Due to delay in the statement from
Springfield the taxbooks will not
be open until the latter part of
January.

LOSSES CAUSE
SHARP FALL IN.
RAILS STOCKS

New York, Dec. 29.-The stock
market became very irregular with
in the first half hour, many gains
being cancelled on the heaviness Of
rails and shippings. Selling Of
rails was probably prompted by the
publication of numerous statements
Of November earnings, some of
which disclosed large losses in net
and operating income. Oils and to-
baccos also gave way to pressure
and steels and equipments reacted
l to ~ points. General Motors
forfeited its early advance, but 9TH
er shares Of that class were steady.
Further unsettlement was created
before noon by the tighter money
tendencies, call loans opening at
IL per cent.
The opening Of today's stock mar
ket was postponed for half an hour
because Of q breakdown in the To-
cal subway system. First prices
were higher in the main. last
weeks active movement in Indus
trials being resumed. Steels. leath-
ers. coppers and low grade rails
were the strongest features. with
American Wooden. which led last
Saturdays spirited advance Of spe-
cial issues. Rails were irregular
and shippings eased with several
active equipments.

I'KieCkhefer Defends Title
in Chicago Monday Night

Chicago, Jan. 4.-For the sew
enth consecutive time Augie Kieck-
hefer, champion three-cushion
billiard player, will defend his title
here Monday night, when he meets
Pierre Maupome in a l50-point
three-night match.
I 1t was only last month that the
champion suffered defeat at the
hands of MaupSnre, who halls from
Cleveland, in an exhibition game
here. But that is one of "Augie's"
specialties-to let the other. fellow
do the work when there is little or
nothing at stake, and to knuckle
down to work and bring home the
bacon regular like when he's in a
championship match. =
There is purse OF $500 at stake,
as we'll as the title, and friends of
Augie say he is already counting
the money. He last defeated Bob
Cannefax of St. Louis the second
time Bob tried to take the cham
pionship away from him. Bob him
self and Maupome have both held
the honor, but seem unable to pry
it loose from Kieckhefer.
\ As a usual thing, the champion
plays a happy-go-lucky game for
the first block, and his opponent has
often won this from him. Then by
the second night he settles down
to make the balls get acquainted
and friendly and begins tearing off
run after run to the confusion and
defeat of his antagonist, whoever
that may be.

Human Polar Bear" Takes
His Plunge in ley Waters

Quantico, Va. Jan. 4.-Valentinc
]. Lisz, former lightweight boxer of
Charleroi, Pa, and now a United
States marine, assigned to the bar
racks here, has won himself the title
of "the human polar BEAR" because
[ he insists on taking a plunge into
lthe icy waters of the Potomac river
aeVery morning.
I Lisz says that back home he used
\ to SO out and roll in the snow in his
l'bathing suit or chop hole in the
ice covering the Susquehanna river
and take swim. The lack of snow
in this part of the country is keep
ing Lisz worried. He is used to
disporting himself in the nude when
the thermometer registers 5 below
zero.
Lisz used to fight at the Charleroi
rink under the name of Bill" Lewis,
because his father, objected to him
fighting. In a half round he de-
feated Bart Mfginis, of his own
home town, and cleaned up on some
of the best boxers in and near
Pittsburgh.
