10 pass municipal taxes in these lsIanos.
1t has been demonstrated now, when the
Organic Act states that if the Colonial

Act will take place in that matters That
shows plain that the Congress of the
United States was not interested in that
matter. Be sides this point the Organic
Act has many faults. But let's come to
the point.
The Governor of the Virgin Islands

Well, it is hard to tell whether
the Refragnasticators or the Cor
netists won yesterday because both
teams were without captain. 1t
seems that Otto Kirchheiner had
sick spell come over Che and
been told by our genial Postmas-
ter that he was in for beatingl
and therefore could not play; even
could not get to the golf course.
On the other hand Sammy Harris

cause his partner and the oppesi-
ton had not yet arrived. PROCEED
ed to play all by himself. His
score card shows that he had somei
good shots, but some that looked
like a pro. His reason for being
in a hurry, so it is said, is be-
cause the last time he was late
getting home, five cats had gone
to the neighbors to get supper.
That cannot be allowed to happen
to any self-respectings Harris fe-
line. But let us get on with our
story:
Mr.. Winsome Willie Watkins
got Charlie Ketchum for a part
ner instead of Otto Kirchheiner
and they proceeded to beat two
of the talkingest guys in town, Ii
Plummer and Cookie Mesa. Ii
said that Mr.. Mesa talks more
that Old Bye Sands but the Duke
says that is not possible. Maybe
il is on account of living next
door to each other. Melvie Rus
sell had better look out. Anyway,
the match was very even except
Ii always failed to get those puts
down. But wait until after the
lessons next week.
Mr.. Bob SpOttswood and Mr..
Lewis Pierce had to extend them
selves to 10 holes to beat the
Woods brothers. 1t seems that
Thicket and Clump were some five
up when they had but five points
to play. They lost all those and
one more of the next hole and
so therefore must pay for some
dinners they can't eat.
