Before crowd that filled every
inch5of space in tho new Junior
high gym Of Burttown, the fast
Warrington high school basketball,
tossers defeated the strong Farm
ington high by the score Of 1914
in one Of the fastest and best play
ed games seen In the Warrington
district for some time. The floor
Was somewhat slippery caused from
sweating. and 1t was hard for the
players to keep on their feet, but
under the handicap both teams put
up an exhibition OF basketball that
will BIO hard to beat. Every minute
OF the game was spent in hard
fighting by both flves and only by
some excellent shooting were the
Manningon boys abb 10 gain the
decision over the lads from Farm
ington. The work OF both teams
at passing was easy the big fea-
ture Of tho contest, both fives were
passing the ball well, showing
that they were well coached in this
department of the game. Many
long shots were pulled by both
teams, Pennington using this route
throughout the contest. unable to
bust through the strong five man
defensive OF Coach Blakes' i've,
while the Warrington boys were
able to break through the five
man defensive OF the losers and
get shots from close angles.
In The first half Warrington out.
played the visitors in every depart
ment and had run up score Of
1877 when the half ended, in this,
half the floor played hob with both
teams. many players slipping on
the wet floor and getting hard falls.
In the second half Pennington
came back strong and held the
Warrington lads to a 81, in this
half the Harrington had many
shots to hit in the basket roll
around and fall out.
The playing OF the McCarnes.
byothsrs was the big lights in the
Warrington lineup; while Gallien
and Conway carried the bulk Of
;ihe work for the losers.
The feature of the contest was
the cheering Of the two school
student bodies, Warrington under
the Leadership Of Mss Snodgrass
kept the gym in, continuous uproar
throughout the contest with the
school yells csl s.F:s, some Of
which was composed .,snecIally for
this contest. The Pennington
student body was also out in large
numbers and gave many good yells
and songs that pleased the fans
and. put 'tpep' tu the air.

ket d sum equivalent to more than
S28 for every minute that has elapsed
since the beginning of the Christian
era. 1t is money that we might well
have kept within the national family
to be used for the development of ma
tional family prosperity and welfare.
Paid to others, it has been tribute
that we have permitted to be levied
upon ourselves because of cur negli-
gence and shortsightedness The full
realization of this did not come to
our people until the harsh alarm of
war smote upon our ears, and the
spectacle of a world in arms opened
cur eyes to the fact that we could not
live in splendid isolation and still
enjoy the benefits of trade with the
world.
In addition to this awakening, added
to this new knowledge that has come
to US. President Harding's great ambi-
ton will be furthered by the fact that
as a previous President once said
''it is a condition and not theory
that confronts u.s." Hastily and with
characteristic and feverish energy, at
a great and excessive cost owing to
the dire nature of the emergency, we
brought a great. feet of merchant
ships into existence. The total cost of
that fleet was IN the neighborhood of
three and one-half billion of dollars.
Today portion of that feet is in op-
eration-at loss-either by the Unit
ed States Shipping Board or under PR
vate ownership or operation. The
rest is lying idle, earning nothing,
growing older and deteriorating, while
we continue to pay this vast tribute
to foreign ships for performing the
service our own ships were built to
alton of that part of our beet that is
in use, and for up-keep of that large
part that is idle, is about sixteen mil
lion dollars a month, or one hundred
and ninety-two millions of dollars an
nually.
By no legislative legerdemain can
we ever recover the war cost of this
fleet, but it's total loss is not a nee
essity nor is it's continued idleness
inevitable. Under the pending legis-
lation that embodies President Hard
ing's idea Of the realization of his
great ambition, salvage of about &c

per cent--or seven hundred millions
of dollars-will be made possible
through the sale of these ships to pri-
vate owners at prices that will place
them upon parity as to first cost
with their foreign competitors. By so
doing, and by taking these ships from
idleness and placing item in useful
and profitable service, the monthly
loss of sixteen million dollars will be
wiped out. In place of which it is
proposed to grant direct aids to these
ships engaged in defending our COM
imerce on the trade routes of the world
that may amount to as much as thirty
four million dollars year in subven-
tons. The total cost per year for all
aids is estimated at from thirty to
| fifty million dollars, and cannot ex-
coed the latter amount. This in place
of present annual loss of one hun
dred and ninety-two million and a
frozen credit of seven hundred mil
lion. The indirect aids will have their
reflex directly upon every farm and
industry in the United States

SPRING It

If you have new idea, spring it.
This country has become great be-
cause its citizens have had the brains
to produce ideas and the courage to
work them out to fruition.
But don't expect to revolutionize the
world with one blast. The world is
older than we are 1t will be here af-
ter we are gone, and other brains will
be producing ideas that are hundred
times better than ours.
Every big thing has little begin
ming. Because the idea is good it
grows and thriyes and expands until
it becomes great and Of lasting bene-
fit to many people
It may be SO with your idea, but it
will not be so long as you keep it bot
tied up.
