The 1921 Assessment.

County Assessor Watson and his
deputies have the assessors records al
most completed for 1921, says the Ad-
vocate. BY the time the Board of
EQUALIZATION and Review convenes on
tuesday, they will have all the books
IN readiness for inspection. Assess
nenfS for the year show an increase
IN real estate values, due almost en-
tlrely to improvements in farm build
ingS. The only notable improvement
to property in Charles Town during
the year since the last assessment is
the new buildings erected bv the Reed
Grain and Milling Company.
Personal property. on the contrary.
VIII SHOW decrease in value as com
pared with the value of such property
a year ago. This is attributable TO
several causes. Chief among these, is
the general slump in the value of live
stock and grain. Wheat and corn have
shcunE to less than half their former
value. Another cause Of the unfavor-
ahle showing in personally assessments
IS the large amounts Of money that have
found their way into non-taxable Sc
curities. Thousands of dollars las,
year were invested in Liberty and other
government bonds on which holders do
not have to paw State or county taxes.
Taxpayers have evidently taken
fright at the mounting tax rate. Non
taxable securities are their only escape
from road and other bond issues.

TN several cities attempts were mado
or Monday last to disgrace the 4th of
July by holding "wet" paradeS. in which
certain elements, mostly undesirabl,
foreigners, marched in protest against
our prohibition laws. The demon.
STATIONS were rank failures as an ex-
preston OF public opinion. Baltimore
was a fair sample. Although this CITY
mas been VIGOROUSLY "wet," and tho
Sun and other leading newspapers at.
TACK prohibition at every opportunity
with all their advertising they managed
to stage a sorry sort of parade. Even
the wet Sun could but find it ridicu.
lous. The parade of foreigners and
oooze-hosters was headed by Congress-
man John Philip Hill, mounted on a.,
Se-Wagon horse, and supported by Tony
DiInarco, a somewhat notorious Italian.
~ az course mat other patriotic foreigner,
Juage Jim klecka, was among the
performers and made speech. Two
women were in the parade-Mrs. Nor
inner W. West and Mrs. George d
lVerson. or the fifteen bands that
were advertised, there were three feeble
tooters, and not single float showed
up-though there were more or less
soaks. The 25,0OO marchers who had
been promised dwindied to a shabby
few hundred, and their quality was a
boost for prohibition instead of a
Knock. Even Baltimore was ashamed
OF the performance.

10 Rebuilt the Duakard Church

Congressman Fred. y. Zihlman, Of
the sixth Maryland district, has pre-
pared a bill which ne will try to pe,
through Congress appropriating sui
hcient funds to rebuild the Dunkard
Church, which was demolished bv
storm some weeks ago. This is one o.
the historic and important points on
Antletam Battlefield, and there is q
strong demand for its restoration. The
trustees of the Dunkard Church have
relinquished their claims to the prop
erty, which reverts TO the Mumma heirs.
and the latter can give clear title if tho
government wishes to purchase il. No
appropriation is available for this pur.
pose, so Congressman Zihlman will en-
deaVcT to have a special bill passed.

Schoolboy Football
Summary to Date

rounded Poly Prep's scoreless tie with
Erasmus Hall at Ebbcts Field. Poly,
a team which had bowled over all op-
Ponents, was outplayed by Erasmus
Hall, when the latter was conceded to
be, another hopeless victim for the
Poly machine.
Stuyvesant proved its claim to run
ner-up to the championship Clinton
team by easily defeating Morris High
School of the Bronx. George Giershev-
sky again proved that he is one of the
best backs in the city by his sterling
play.
Evander Childs, newly crowned cham
pions of the Bronx, came from behind
in their contest with Boys High and
tied the score in the third period after
the Brooklynites had scored early in
the game. Bill Schmults, star of the
Evander eleven, was credited with the
longest run of the season by school
noy when he dashed eighty yards for
a touchdown after intercepting a for
ward pass.

Thursday for Work
At Polo Grounds
Coaches Plan 3 Additional
Practices in Order to
Bring Team to Top Form

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 20.-Confi-
dent that the team has pulled out of
the slump so manifest last week, Naval
Academy coaches and players will start
Tomorrow with the most determined
effort to make use Of the final period
to bring the team to the zenith of its
playing ability by Saturday, when the
Army is met Oh the Polo Grounds in
New York. Even greater interest than
usual attaches to the game in view of
the fact that each institution has now
won eleven games.
The team has had complete rest for
three days, and the players had the
rare experience yesterday of visiting
Baltimore to see the Johns Hopkins
and st. Johns teams fight for the col
legiate championship of the state.
Trips are unusual for Navy teams, and
many Of the players had not seen q
game under such conditions for long
period: This was particularly so Of
Clyde King, the right tackle. He played
regularly, before coming to the Acad-
my @i" noo peeh oH tHe Team 1Our
seasons and had not seen q game from
the stands for seven years,
Only three more practices will take
place at Annapolis. The squad will
leave for New York early on Thanks
giving morning and will practice in
New York on that afternoon and on
Friday, using the Polo Grounds. The
regiment, in several special trains, will
leave Annapolis early Saturday morn
ing, and will start its return trip i'm
mediately after the game.

Cornell to Have Light
Drills for Penn Game


ITHACA, N. T., Nov. 2o.-At the
close. Of long Sunday afternoon foot
ball lecture and discussion it was am
nounced that the Cornell football team
and substitutes would leave here Tues
day night for Philadelphia for the
game with Penn on Thanksgiving Day,
but information as to the exact desti-
nation of the squad was not given out.
1t is presumed that they will go oGt
into suburb of Philadelphia for
rest.
A final drill Wednesday afternoon is
on the program. No more scrimmages
and nothing but light work will be at
tempted in the last two practices in
Ithaca, Coach Dobie said. Most of his
talk this afternoon was an effort to
impress upon the Ithacans his convic-
ticn that in Penn they would face the
hardest opponent Of the year.
