York. Notre Dame versus the Army at West Point. Georgetown versus Georgia Tech at Atlanta. Harvard is regarded by many critics as the most powerful eleven of the east and one that compares favorably with the teams of old. when the Crimson was "the’’ power of the gridiron. Princeton, on the other hand, started season with perhaps the poorest prospects of any major team of the east. The Tigers have conte fast, however, and while there are few that look for anything but a Harvard victory, the experts all expect a grand fight from the Tigers. Penn will meet the second big test i of the season against Pittsburgh. Th“ |

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1922 ’

i Philadelphians look upon Pitt. Cornell ! and Penn State as their most deadly I rivals and this first of their three big : battles | H sure to bring out everything Johnny Huisman lias taught them. ! Pittsburgh hasn’t been living to old Pitt standards this season, but they ve been pointing for this game and Penn ' tloes not consider them anything of I an easy thing. Cornell in Dartmouth gets «|ie first big teat of the year. Gil Dobl > must have a great team at Ithaca, even if the "Illg Red" has hail rather easy going. Any team that can come close to a "point a minute" must be n good organization against any opposition. Dartmouth always fights ami that’s one of the main things in football. When Notre Dame lost virtually a whole team last fall, eastern critics made light of the plight with the theSry—"Knuto Rockne will make another good team." And he has. The Hoosiers may not have the spectacular team of 1919, 1920 and 1921, but they have another good team and they are bound to give the army a great | fight. West Point is represented by one of the most powerful teams of the cast find the cadets have reached the point where they regard a victory .over Notre Dame as important, almost, and as much to be desired us a defeat of the navy. Notre Dame, with their well known flashy open offense, always draws a big crowd to the West Point plains and it may be bigger this year. Some idea about the final standing of the big teams in the south may be acquired in the games between Georgia Tech and Georgetown and between Center and Washington and Lee. California, out of the championship of the Pacific coast, is expected to have an easy time with Washington. McGill coming down from Montreal to meet Syracuse; St. Xavier's journeying from Cincinnati to play the navy at Annapolis; anil Wabash against Washington and Jefferson provide three very interesting intersectional games. e_ . Syracuse—Syracuse and the University of Nebraska have agreed to meet on the gridiron again next fall. The game probably will bo played in Lin coin on Thanksgiving day. —• o I hiladelphia — William F. Baker, owner of the Philadelphia Nationals, admitted he was after Hugo I’ezdek. former Pirate manager and director of athletics at Penn State college, to I handle his team net year They are |to talk it over “in'the near future."

I FOUND ABOVE HER CftOWNtNG GLORY ’ New York, Nov. 9. Instead of the ■! leaf bandeaux which were so popuI lar last Henson for evening wear, the fashionable misses and* matrons arc I I wearing wide velvet bandeniix studded 1 in bends of limber., Jade and coral shades. Some of them are peaked In front, 1 like coronets, with loops of beads fall 1 ing at the sides in ear-ring fashion. Others are merely brilliantly colored ‘ brocaded ribbons wound about the 'ihead in turban style. This latter type ■,ls particularly chic on the girl whose dark hobbed locks cur! forward on her i he< ks. 1 For occasions where formality is not i , , essential such as at restaurants and (heatres, the evening turban of tinsel v cloth is almost indespensible this year. The dance hat which is worn with t the elaborate' gown this season usuf ally follows the trim of tile gown and. t as many of the lovliest gowns are studded in rhinestones, the diamond , hat is becoming the latest rage. The t! stones are not used too glaringly, , however. They are studded here and . there through the drapery of black satin turbans, used in front-cluster of- - feet combined with other colored stones on metallic cloth, or used as !, brim <»ut line on narrow brimmed hats ! es bright solored velvet. Mlle Sorel, the French actress or hived in New York recently with a hat . jeweled with real diamonds that is . said to be valued at 1100,009. So far. . none of us have turned green with i(envy, however. , PALACES PASSING WITH KINGS t Berlin —Royal art and furnishings I cf the last king of Wuerttenberg have • been sold under the hammer. The furniture, sculpture and art i treasurers belonging to the royal pal- • ace at Stuttgart brought 15,705,500 ■ marks. Foreign buyers, outbid local dealers and private buyers, bidding far above the estimated figures for most of the treasured art pieces put up. The auction took place in the main reception room of the Rosenstein castle whore for years only royalty -and a few accepted guests wore admitted. The painting “Abraham's Entrance into the Promised Igtnd" by Dietrich went at 150.000 marks; Correggio’s "Susanne in the Bath," for 550.000; Ehrhandt’s "Laban and His Daughter" hind "Jacob and Rebecca at the Well" I wont for 400.000 each.

I The People’s Voice ■ Jefferson Township Schools We have been requested to print the following article which appeared in the Adams County Witness, November 3rd; On account of the many false statements being circulated in rogartl to the t ost of maintaining our new . ’ school. I inn submitting herewith the following facts for your consideration. With considerable time and expense Jlho facts given here have been gleaned from lhi- reports and statements of |levies made by the trustees and school boards of the six southern ! townships of Adams county, and I ! through personal interviews with thelotlicers in charge. There are five combined high and i 'elementary schools in these townships and towns therein. Jefferson , township pays to its principal a salI ary of $1,600. This Is S3OO less than is paid the man at the head of any -of the other four. It is less by SBOO i than the one receiving the highest pay. The per capita cost of grade pupils |as taken from the reports of the trimI tees and school boards in charge are Jas follows; J Monroe township $49.82 ; French township 43.83 Illite Creek township 51.71 Berne 49.92 Hartford township 43.21 Wabash township 42.25 i Jefferson township 31.88 Geneva 55.72 The per capita cost given above does not include transportation of pupils in any case, it cost Jefferson i township sll.lO per pupil (or less than: ■ 7 cents per day) to transport its pupils to and from school during the last term of 8 months. If this bo add- ■ ed to the p#r capita cost of $31.88 givi en above it makes a total cost per pupil of $42.98 which you will notice is i less than any other grade cost given above save one. It cost the taxpayers of Jefferson township loss by $8.73 on every grade pupil than it cost Blue Creek township during the last term and our pupils were hauled to and from school and theirs were not. The tax levy statements of Blue Creek and Jefferson townships for next year show that Jefferson is levying taxes to pay teachers and transfers while Blue Creek is levying $5,786 for the same purpose. With a full sot of high school teachers our levy will be si»76 less than theirs. This is I

; ~“ THE OLDEST BANK IN ADAMS COUNTY. ——— — — . — Collective Power Ever examine a cable? • It is made up of hundreds of small wires. You can break one, but united they support a .threat bridge. ii ! Likewise, small sums of money deposited regularly in a Savings Account become a source of financial strength. Are you saving to profit by the collective )>ower of your dollars? Old Adams County Bank

accounted for from the fact that we pay no transfers and last year collected from other townships for transfers 1 to our townships the sum of $1,384.96, which is used to help pay our teach-1 ers. The levy in our township for I fuel for next year is S4OO. In Blue 1 Creek township the levy is $2,000. According to the published levy of each township for next year the total tax to be raised in Blue Creek will be $17,232.00, and in Jefferson $18,789.84. Os that amount Blue Creek will pay I $5,211.60 on its debt and interest while Jefferson will pay $7,325 on its debt and interest. If the excess amount which Jefferson will be paying ' on its debt (which is $2113.40) be subtracted from the total levy it shows Jefferson township to be using less money for all purposes than its neighboring townshiii on the north uses. The total tax to be collected in Jefferson township for next year amounts to $44,252,71. Os that amount

$25,814.08 was levied by county and state officials and the township officials had nothing whatever to <’o with that part of the tax which ns you can see is the bulk of the taxes. Your I taxes will be somewhat lower next year than they were this year. There will be $5,156.18 less taxes raised in Jefferson next year than there was raised this year. Os this reduction the township trustee and adi visory board are to be credited with I $4,963.26 of it and the county and i state officials with but $192.92 of it. Os the taxes raised in our township i next year $16,230.79 will be paid on [ road bonds and interest on same and | repair of roads. I repair of roads. —J. A.
