were intercepting many passes and
their passing and team work was
good. The score at the end of the
first quarter was 6 to 2 in favor
of the Tucson team.
Edmundo Loera playing guard
for the Apaches was specially
good. Whenever the bail came
his way, or whenever a Tucson
man came near him, Loera would
quickly grab the casaba and re-
turn it to his teammates; once in
a while Loera himself would make
his own trips and start drilling
down the floor in attempts to
shoot the basket.
Albert Donnadieu got away
from the Badgers and Gagged in a
fast and pretty basket i'm the Sec
ond quarter. Three minutes later
the clever Frenchman was fooling
and tricking the Badgers until he
had crept across their defense and
made another basket bringing the
score 7 to 8 in favor Of Tucson
as the half ended. The Nogales
team was given a big ovation by
the large crowd present at the end
Of the first half, the work Of the
Apaches pleasing the spectators.
Tucson entered the second half
with practically the same lineup
that they had started the contest
with. The Badgers forged fur
ther ahead by looping in another
basket. The two teams engaged
in free for all passing game
until late in the third quarter.
Then a long pass from Sprinkle to
Marsh, who was near the basket,
enabled to score and bring the
count to nine points to Tucson's
ten. The quarter ended.
The huge crowd which filled the
big gym roared when Lawrence
Marsh made the foul basket which
tied the score and made the game
more interesting for the rest of the
time. Chapo Maldonado, how
ever was responsible for a person
al foul, and Tucson again took
the lead by looping in the free
throw. The score remained 10 to
II until a minute before the game
ended, when the Apaches allowed
an ambitious Badger to loop an
other basket, bringing the final
count of 13 for Tucson and 10I
for Nogales.
Friday nights game with the
Tucson high school was one Of the
Tucson high school was one of
the best ever played here, and
clearly showed that the Apaches
ar recovering from their early
season slump, and rapidly shaping
into championship form. The
Apaches will undoubtedly make
things hot for the rest of the
teams on the schedule.

states are planning to do the same.
THE question is the same one that

Congressman Wallace II. White, Jr.
OF Lewiston. who spoke with the gov
ernor, took issue with the Democratic
convention that the Republicans in
Congress deserve no credit for the re-
duction of the national debt and the
lifting of the tax burden.
THE Democrats say that we are do

something we should be proud Of" the

power by the voters, it could do this.
That was the target aimed at and
the purpose would be to score a
bullseye.
In discussing this phase of the
States finances Gov. Brewster gave
full credit to the various department
heads and their associates for the
work done in reducing the cost of
running the State.
All the departments. he said, had
worked toward this end They had
followed suggestions made by Gen.
Herbert l.. Lord of Rockland, direc-
tor of the budget of the Federal Gov
eminent, in his speech before the
Legislature in 1872, by creating a re-
serve fund for each department. This
had been done by setting aside 10
percent of their appropriation to
meet unforeseen expenses. They had
then taken their appropriations and
4Vlded them into four parts to meet
the needs of each quarter of this
year. In this way practical budget
system had been made operative.
It's results, he said, were shown by
this million in cash which the treas
ury OF the State now contains.
The governor was careful to make
1t clear that this money was over
and above all reserve funds: that Is.
funds provided by law for a specific
purpose and raised in specific man.

Mrs. Emma G. PaNna

Mrs. Emma G. Payne, of Atlantic
City, \. j.. passed away Tuesday
August 10. at the home of Mrs. Fran
ces Sawyer. where she had been a
guest for the past two weeks. Mrs
Payne was stricken Monday night
with an acute attack of heart trouble.
She was born in New Portland,
February 6. 1862, the only daughter
of the late John and Zilpha Spear
Spooner. When quite young she
came to North Arson with her par
ents and attended Arson Academy.
She married the late Frederick G.
Payne. of Lewiston. in 1883. They
had one daughter. Mrs. Marion Payne
Louisfell. of Somerville. Mass.
Mrs. Payne had lived in Philadel-
phia and Boston for several years.
and was for sometime in South Da-
kota. About 20 years ago she went
to Atlantic City to care for twin boys
and has made her home there ever
since. Almost every summer she has
spent al lor part of the season in
North Arson accompanied by her
daughter.
She was a member Of the North
Arson Cniversalist church and Eas-
tern Star, and a member of Ruth
Heald Cragin Chapter, D. A. r.
Through her correspondence and
home paper Mrs. Payne had always
kept in touch with the activities of
this place, and contributed generous
ly to- the work of these societies and
the Sunshine Society, always main
tanning keen interest in whatever
was done for the welfare of the COM
munity. She had a faculty OF max
ing and holding friends, and leaves
many in this section of the State to
whom her passing is real loss.
Services were conducted from the
home of Mrs. Frances Sawyer last
Thursday by J. P. Murray, Rev. c.
w. Rogers Of the Federated church

ner for such purposes, such as high
way money, growing from sales OF
bonds. This had not always been so;
at least there had not always been
clear separation of these monies
when announcing the amount of
cash in the treasury.
In his discussion OF the finances
OF the State and the hope of pro-
nounced reduction In the State for
the next two years, Gov. Brewster
repeated what he had said in all his
recent talks that in his opinion the
best form of farm rslief which could
be given was tax reduction. This
met with approval wherever utter
ed. 1t was signal for applause in
each instance and after the meet
ings much comment was heard on
the correctness OF this.
The Governors manner of point
ing out results which had come from
the publicity program which Maine
entered upon last year, likewise
made an impression. He called at
tention to the fact that In the last
seven months of 1925 more than g.
600 pieces of Maine real estate were
sold to out of State people. This, he
said, meant q form of tax help.
Those buyers came into Maine and
paid taxes on that property, instead
Of Maine people having to pay it.
They made improvements on the pro-
perty and this added to its taxable
value, which in turn was benefit to
the Maine tax payer.
When a Maine man bought a piece
of real estate or made an improve
ment he took the money with which
IN Il 20 IL
one Of these out of state men bought
real estate in this State, the money
came from bank in another state,
into Maine, and, eventually into our
own banks. 1t was all Q help to
Maine.
Saying that he was proud Of the
results achieved by the Republicans
since they took over the control of
Federal Government in 1921, Con-
gresham Wallace II. White Of the
second district, in his talks, set forth
some of these accomplishments.
He called attention to the great re-
auctions of the national debt in that
period, followed with an equally large
cut in the tax assessment levied by
the National Government from year
to year under this administration. He
felt that when the congress which
recently adjourned Topped all FEEDER
al taxes from 100000 citizens Of this
country, in addition to reducing the
amount which other millions have
been paying it did well.
The Congressman referred to the
chaotic condition in which the Re-
publicans found the country when
they took over the control. The rail-
roads have been nearly wrecked I'M
der government control Of a Demo-
cratic administration. These were
gradually being brought back to a
healthy condition. This was shown
by the fact that the year 1925 was
the greatest year in the history of
the roads of this country in point of
business transacted.
Pres. Coolidge was praised by the
Congressman for his clear headed,
Yankee insight into matters. and for
his honest and impartial handling OF
all things which came to the admin
istration. His references to tine
President were always heartily ap-
plauded.
