Government figures show that the

revenue the first year it removed
the war tax on 75-cent admission

Formerly, the government col

minor leagues alone in war tax. All

Digging up ball players is the big.

a major league scout to me recently.
Everybody is always offering
tips to you and they come from all

AS a rule the scouts follow more
closely tips that come from men who

The majority of our high school
coaches are worrying less about com.
ing games and more about the APP
preaching sectionals and regionals.
1t is only a month off now, and after
all it doesn't matter a bit how many
games a team loses between nov and
March 4. 1t isn't what team does
in the regular season games, but in
the sectional, regional and finals. 1t
won't be long now.
We attended the regular Wednes-
Jay night session Of the City Basket
ball League at the Hoosier Athletic
Club, and after watching the teams
play and rooters spur their re-
spective quintets on we have come to
the decision that an industrial league
such as the city loop is one of the
best sport ventures that can be put
into force. If not only provides a
form of recreation for the players,
but brings the employees of the firms
into closer contact. In plain terms
we think a whole lot of an industrial
league.
Rivalry between the different out
fits has reached a high point as the
league is nearing its close. The
squads are punched and it Is a
matter for speculation how the race
will wind up. Some of the best play
ers in Independent circles are on the
teams and in addition have as their
spectators number of high school
and college stars coming down every
week to watch the games.
We had a talk with President
Schnitzius of the league and we be-
lieve he deserves a lot of credit for
putting the venture over. We had

The constitution of the I. H. S.

Testimony of three of the defend
ants, Anita Davis, Iris Burns and

tended TO place on Mrs. Sarah Ker-
rick, one of the five persons on trial,
responsibility for firing the shot which
killed her husband. Her own story,
given in the closing session of the
trial last week, was that the pistol
was discharged during a scuffle, but
that she doesn't recall firing the shot.
Miss Davis testified that Kerrick
was shot by his wife when he ac-
cepted a drink of "moonshine" at the
hands Of Miss Burns. pushing aside
cup of coffee offered by Mrs. Ker-
rick. Miss Burns, however, produced
the alibi that she was keeping an
appointment at the apartment Of a
man at the early morning hour when
the shooting occurred. Isabel told
of taking the gun from Mrs. kerrick
following the shooting.
The fifth defendant, Joe Hunt, Ari-
zona cowboy, who is said to have
financed the party and whose pistol
was used in the shooting, declared
he was too intoxicated to know any
thing of the details of the later stages
of the all-night drinking bout.

there was no man in Washington

ever, said that in this simple life lay
the explanation. Dingley lived in

breakfast, q luncheon of bread and
milk, and frugal meal for dinner.
He did not know the taste Of terrapin

no more idea of the effect of cham

"He lived this abstemious life until
he became chairman Of the ways and
means committee and the responsible
leader of the House in revising the
tariff. Then he had to accept invita-
tions to banquets and public dinners
Of various kinds. He went and ate
what was placed before him, paying
no attention. He was absorbed in his
work. He ate merely as necessity
demanded and what was on his plate.
He could not tell what he had eaten.
He never knew, and, as Mr.. Hit says.
he may have been the victim of high
living-an unconscious victim who had
no more idea Of enjoying fine din
