TAX MEN HERE
ARE READY TO
BEGIN DUTIES
County Clerk and Treasurer Await
Orders From Springtieid-In-
come Tax Drive Jan. 80.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, Jan. 27.-County Treas
urer C. A. Friese announced today
that the work of collecting the Mer-
Ger county taxes for the past year
is ready to start and will begin as
soon as orders are forthcoming
from Springfield stating that the
bond has been approved.
AS soon as the order is given
County Clerk F. A. Gibson will turn
the books over to the county treas
urer. j. l.. Carnahan, deputy IN
ternaI revenue collector of this dis
trict, announced today that the in
come tax drive will start jan. 80
and has arranged his schedule. 1t
is not expected that the work OF
collecting the county taxes VIII
start before the first of next month
is the opinion of Mr.. FTfese.
Mr.. Friese expects to have SUI
ficient Office help to insure proper
and prompt handling of the pay
ments as soon as they are given
orders to proceed. He stated that
the same system in force the last
two years will be followed this
year, which is the placing of dup
cate books in various banks in each
township in the county, SO that per
sons may call at the banks and pay
their assessments instead of max
ing a trip to the county seat. This
method introduced by Mr.. F>riese in
the spring of 1920 saves consider
able time and expense. Persons
may either ascertain the amount OF
taxes due at the bank and send the
money to the county treasurer, or
nav at the bank. In each instance
they will be sent proper receipts as
soon as the treasurer receives the
money.
I - Failure of the state tax rate 10
arrive at the county clerks Office
on time is the reason for tn late
opening of the books this year. Be
cause of the action of the state tax
commission there will be slight
increase in the tax rates this year
but it will hardly be noticeable eX-
cept on large amounts.
j. l.. Carnahan will start the col
lection of the income taxes Jan

u court house during the week start
ing with that date The following

Geneseo, Jan. 27.-The play or
the first Henry County basketball
tournament began at the Weimer
theatre in this city last night with
about 100 people in attendance. 1t
was Cambridge Night" as both OF
their teams were victorious in their
contests. The first game played be-
tween the Cambridge American LIE
gion team and the Geneseo high
school team was not part OF the
tournament proper. Alpha was or
irinaIly scheduled to play last
nights games but withdrew its en-
try with the result that Woodruff
drew a bye and will not play I'M
til Saturday afternoon when they
meet Cambridge. The two indie
pendent teams were later placed
upon the schedule to complete the
eight games schedule on which ba-
sis season tickets had been sold.
With a double victory to their cred
it the near army of fans from Cam
bridge who attended last nights
games went home delighted with
their achievement.
The hopes of the Geneseo follow
ers of their Independent team for a
close score were not realized, due
particularly to poor guarding at
the baskets. With a speed which is
aracteristic of their play and
which reflects their ability the
Cambridge aggregation went into
the lead after but a few minutes OF
play and were never oVertaken.
They held the Geneseo team to a
scoreIess first quarter, leading at
the end of that period. S to 0. They
maintained that speed and by close
guarding kept the Maple City play
ers to a single free throw in the
second quarter; the half : ending,
Cambridge Is, Geneseo 1.
Going into the third period Gen
eseo showed a flash of the form
of which they are capable had they
had the opportunity of consistent
and regular practice. In this quar-
ter they scored s points against
nine for the Legion team, holding
that team to practically tie for
the period which ended, Cambridge
81: Geneseo 9.
The final quarter counted three
field goals and a basket for Cam
bridge as compared with two field
goals and a free throw for Cen
eseo. bringing the final score,

The outstanding stars for this
game were Sanquist and Rosen-
stone, who obtained 80 points for
their team, of which 20 are credited
to Sanquist. He made seven field
goals and six free throws of seven
attempts. For Geneseo, Erdman,
Montgomery and Hippler were in
the lime-light but not with enough
power to "cop the bacon

The first game which is recorded
in the tournament was a victory for
Cambridge over Wethersfield by a
score of 80 to IS. Cambridge had
the better team on the floor but
Wethersfield. with its smaller but
very game players are worthy of no
little credit for the stubborn re-
sistance they maintained against 4
stronger team. Wethersfield was
unIucky in shooting baskets, many
attempts hitting the loop but few
of which fell into the hoop. With
the game safely tucked away Coach
Rohm of the Cambridge school
withdrew the first five players or
the floor and replaced them with
another quintet of tOssers who kept
up the good work but not as well
as the first string boys.

is a steadying influence to his men
and is undoubtedly one of the best
basketball players in this district.

Coach Rohm used in the second

their advantage in the second half.
BY their work last night they show

floor than that to which they are
accustomed at their school gym.
On several occasions they had the
