drill will be gone through during
the late afternoon and the coach is
expected to give the boys a long

pretty well ironed out and already
strong points in the armor of the
team have been strengthened this
week.
Lineup Not Announced
Just who will start against the
Edinburg gridders here Friday was
not announced, but no material
change in the lineup that faced
Harlingen is to be anticipated. Al

game will get in against the visitors
Friday, it is expected
The up-Valley aggregation is not
considered as strong as the Har-
lingen outfit and Ii il possible that
Rubarth will experiment a bit with
his lineup in order to obtain the
reactions Of some of his lesser lights
under fire.
Other Valley towns were making
the same last minute preparations as
Brownsville Thursday for Fridays
games. W~eslaco, which had an open
date last Friday and missed out on
the general opening day ceremonies,
will have those ceremonies belatedly.

showed unexpected strength in last
weeks game, and Weslaco will have
90 step along to cop her opener.
Harrington, victorious in last
weeks tussle with Brownsville, goes
over to Mission for q struggle. The
Saints figured in a tie contest with
Mercedes last week, and will be out

sidered lost, in the coming fray.

MONTANA SHOWS
TAPER CENT gain
IN Income TAXES
Increase Will Be About 100000
For This Year, Collector
Estimates

An increase of IA per cent in income
tax collections for 1927 to date is re-
ported by c. A. Rasmussen, collector
for the Montana district. Collections
to date for the Chicago district, an
nOunced recently, show a Is per cent
gain. MOntana's record at this time,
Mr.. Rasmussen believes, indicates an
increase of 100000 for the state this
year.
There have been q, ,632 returns filed
thus far and the collector saye there
was an unusually large number Of ap-
plications granted for extensions of
time. Of the returns filed, 9,126 were
taxable and 1886 untaxable, he said
The total for the year he thinks will
be about 5000 less than last year be-
cause many filed last year who did
not need to do so under the increased
schedule of exemptions but who die
not at that time understand the
change well enough to avoid filing
There were more than $4,000 returns
filed last year.
Collections between January 1 anC
March 10, amounted to $672, 1891 al
against $586,515.64 during the SAINT
period a year ago, an increase of $S5,
644,17.
