st. Johns 80; Independents 81

The Independents fell off the
Christmas tree Monday evening
when an out-classed and out-reach-
ed outfit from st. Johns pulled out
in the fourth quarter to win by a
marginal point. The final was 80 to
81.
Building up lead throughout the
three quarters that they strength
ened to seven points, the Independ-
ents were held without a single
point throughout the fourth quar-
ter. In the meantime the Johnnies,
coming from behind ended the
game sensationally out in front.
The final bucket was the effort of
guard, Sieben of the Johnnies, who
swished in sensational long shot.
For the Johnnies it was Sheehy
who scored most with II points to
his credit; and for the Independ-
ents it was center Rasmussen with
II. Completely dominated for three
quarters, the st. Johns boys were
outreached with the lankiness OF
Sank Centres men. For three quar-
tiers the Independents drove the
lead farther and farther ahead of
their opponents. Then in the fourth
quarter were unable to score a sin
gle point.

an unemployed worker received wa

creased to $325O.OO, which is $4,000
higher than last year. This raise
was granted on request of the IL
brary board. Compensation for Sa-

same as last year, $425.O0. The
fund which provides salaries for
city officials has been increased
$780, with the new total being $4,-
10000. Old age pensions, not in
cluded in last years budget, neces-
STATED an increase of $1,000. This
was done under the former old age

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home

What kind Of chimney is best for
a farm shop?
If a forge is to be used or the
shop heated, a brick or tile Chin
ney should be built. A double flue is
desirable where one chimney must
serve for the forge and the stove,
although single flue may do quite
well. The chimney should extend at
least 3 feet above the highest part
OF the roof. A screen over the chin
ney will reduce fire hazards from
sparks. Special Bulletin 100 1.-THE

grand total in the non-homesteat

showed.

rate will appear on the non-home

Under the state homestead act
ESQ mills should be deducted from
the above rate which will make the

of the ia mills which appeared in

homestead rate is determined on a
state levy of IA mills, and the
non-homestead rate on a basis OF
10 mills.
In the following table based on
the non-homestead rate of 1000
mills for the state, where the only

tionately between the agricultural
lands and city property. Proportion
ate ALLEGATIONS in this district can
only be made on state aid deficien-
cies, and that does not apply to the
regular levy made in the school dis
trict, which carries a higher rate
within the city. Hence, the deficien-
cy rate is the same in both the rur-
al and city district, and is distribut-
ed equally to both. The saving in
this matter is made on both city
and rural property within the dis
trict. The $7,SO7.17, which already
had been proportionately divided on
rural and city properties, will be
deducted from the SOS 10000 and
again reallocated proportionately.
The relevy, it is understood, Is
now being made and as soon as the
correct figures are available we
will publish them. Until that time
Sank Centre taxpayers can rest as
