the senior class of the high school
will be given at Hancock hall next
Wednesday evening. It will be fJv
the DeMarco-Aistrup entertainers

The Noyes Motor Car Co. dis
tributers in this county for Durant
and Star cars, which for year has
been located in the building at the
corner of Water and Pine streets.
VIII move to new and more modern

cup1ed as market by Moore &

AT the last meeting of the board
OF trade, committee was appointed
to act in behalf of the Hancock
county Farm Bureau to secure rooms
for the county agent in the federal
building. The committee, through
the custodian of the building, took
the matter up with the supervising
architect at Washington, who gave
permission for the use of the front
room on the customhouse floor.
Deputy Collector of Customs Doyle,
however objected to giving up the
room, and took the matter up with
his department, so that removal of
the county agents headquarters to
the federal building is held up until
the matter can be adjusted by the de-
partment The agricultural extern
sion work is very largely supported
by the federal government, and in
many counties, as in Washington
county in this State, quarters are
provided for the county agent in the
federal building, thus reducing ex-
penses, which was the object sought
in this county.
The executive committee of the
local Red Cross chapter hit respon-
sive chord among the fans when it
announced basketball game be-
tween the business and professional
men of the city. During the past
week there has been much specula-
ton as to the ability to get enough
players. The committee has now
perfected plans, and announces a
game to be played Thursday evening,
April 5, at Hancock hall Another
keen rivalry has come to light, and
representatives from the lean men
and the fiat men have urged the
committee to place another team on
the floor to play between the halves
and play off with the winners. The
| game is, novel affair inasmuch as
none of the players has been in the
! game in years, some never. An in
teresting game is assured, and the
cause is certainly worthy of the
patronage of all, The local Red
Cross work cannot be continued
without funds and undoubtedly there
