war cut from 61 cents to 40 cents on the hundred dollars The council had reduced the rate from 7) cents to 61 cents, reducing all salaries and all other appropriatints. Included in the budget for next year was an appropriation of $4,000 for expense in maintaining tlte ornamental street lights and I $2,000 tor ft re hydrant, rental. ; Even if these two items were eliminated the budget will Jack about 14,000 of balancing After j allowing for all credits, the budget totaled $28,644. The 40 cent rate will produce less than $20,000 It lis likely that the council will I strike out the appropriations for . ornamental street lighting and tire , hydrant rentaj as the first gesture . in attempting to balance income , with outgo. Berne Gets Cut The largest cut made in any I taxing unit in the county was in Herne. The proposed rate was re- ' duced from $2.38 to $1.50 on the hundred dollars. Huge cuts were , made in the Berne school and I town levies. The school tax was I cut from 65 to 55 cents on the ‘ hundred dollars and the town tax was cut in two—from 60 cents to 30 cents on the hundred dollars. I ’1 he 45 cent levy for special school

At the hotel the victorious alumni had just begun to fight. One of them stood on the mezzanine and orated to those in the lobby who were not making speeches of their own: ‘‘DON’T forget about the picnic tomorrow afternoon at the park; and DON’T forget to bring the peanut butter sandwiches. The governor will be there for you to shake hands with and I':n going to fix the races so YOU and YOU and YOU can win. DON’T forget to be there in time for the flag raising and the baby parade.’’ A friendly stranger bore down upon Ted. “Williams is my name, brother, shake. What state are you from, brother? Ohio? Good. We just need somebody from Ohio. Come over here where we can be private. Confidential stuff, see?" Ted followed him to the corner. The brother looked about to insure privacy, then spoke quietly into Ted’s ear:

"It’s this way, brother. We don't want another war, do we? That's settled. We don't want the North and South to fight any more Okay It’s this way: Jimmie’s from Missouri, Pete’s from Kentucky, Jack’s from Pennsylvania, I'm from Minnesota—and you’re from Ohio Al! right; Jimmie's gonna see the governor of Missouri, Pete's gonna see the governor of Kentucky. Jack’ll talk to the governor of Pennsylvania and I’ll buzz the governor of Minnesota—greaTpal of mine. Now all you got to do is see the governor of Ohio. Then we’ll drink to Lee and Grant and Sherman and Davis and Lincoln and everything’ll be all right—we ll have this thing arranged. I call it a good evening's work ” "You forgot one thing,” Ted told him. “You ought to get New York in on this." “By Jirniny—you're right.” “There's a fellow that's a personal friend of Ad Smith—that one there with the little round hat and the leather jacket—laughing.’’ “Thanks, brother—we got to get A) in on this.” Corner conversation: “Gonna vote—or are you old enough?” "Say—l voted for Cleveland.” “A few of us boys got together and put Washington in.” “I organized the Indians and put Columbus over." "I carried Rome for Cincinnati —and thats bigger than Columbus.” "You win.” "We’ll drink on that." They drank; then “Now I'll ask you one: Who was Cato?” “He played first base on the Pirates." “No—listen ” Ted listened in on the sad story of Cato; drunks were unbelievably silly but diverting—and his mind needed diversion Cato was an old Roman in the days when the Carthage gang was the big rival of the boys from the Tiber, The Neros knocked off the Africans so often that they dropped them from the schedule and went out looking for somebody who could fill the Amphitheatre But Cato kept scouting them and discovered that the Carthaginians had gone out and got themselves a team, including a big fullbark named Hannibal and a lot of linemen stiong as elephants Cato put out this dope to the athletic board at Rome but they gave him the berry; but Cato was persistent; and whenever he made a speech about Teapot Dome or the Broadway traffic he always wound up, saying that he also thought that Carthage should be destroyed. So they got tired of hearing him and to keep his trap shut scheduled | the Africanos again and knocked them off. Hannibal made all-Euro- ’ pean that day but. unfortunately, i

Library Board Cut ] The Decatur Library board levy was reduced from five cents to four cents on the hundred dollars. f The five cent levy, trustees of the j board stated, was not sufficient jjto operate the library without ‘i making salary reductions and cur J tailing purchases of new books. . I The five cent levy would have ‘ produced less than $2,5(10. The four cert levy will produce less L than $2,000. i t The Township Rates ! Rates in the townships, including the general township tax and > i levies for schools were fixed as J follows, the first figure being the ,i prop sed rate and the second figure the amount fixed by the tax board.

On the field football was an extremely serious * affair of life and death to two ’ groups of boys; when it was over, a lot of old grads cavorted irra--1 tionally, made silly spectacles of themselves, blandly unconscious as ’ children. j Perhaps that was it; childhood , was a state of irresponsibility, of quick forgetfulness; men intoxicated their minds to seek a temporary return to inhibitionless youth. Ted had never been drunk; he . thought it cheapening and that it was cowardly if sought as an est cape. > But all his values were being i rudely shaken Rosalie and Barb were widely different types Yet ■ his ideals about their sex annoyed I them extravagantly. The evidence was against him; he was willing to I readjust his ideas—but where to ■ start? Why wasn't a woman nearer heaven than a man? Pidge was lying in bed, clad in noisy pajamas, arms folded back of his head one knee bent upward and the other leg crossing it—a rapt expression on his face. “Boy—did you see that little monkey I had tonight?" “Yes—let’s have it. Pidge.” “Well—she's got me nuts." "What’s she doing to you?” “How do I know?” "Don't you try to figure it out?” “That's one of the few things I do know about women—don’t ever try to figure them —all you get’s a headache." The Downtown Coaches Association strongly advised against starting the second team against Army. “They haven't been licked either," John Sweeney, house detective of the Bolivar and one of the D. C. A., informed Barney, ‘They’ve licked Harvard. Yale, Columbia and Illinois and if you start your second team that Cagle will scoie in a hurry ” So Barney started his second team against Armv The Down- ■ town Coaches, including business I men, reporters, architects, hotel ' porters and others, included all I those who voluntarily told Barney how to run his team; they had been ■helpful lie always went contrary Itp their advice and the system worked well. But this proved to be the exception On the second play, Cagls. playing his second year for Biff Jones, started a sweep around his left end faked a pass which kept the secondary back udestepped the . ta>kle and end who rushed him, and sped through a sifted field toward the sideline. Ted. coming up fast, dove, attempting to ger hi» aims about Red's legs, grasp one , wrist with the other hand and lock him—the best way to tackle a twisting wbirler: if he twists you can twist with turn He was faintly conscious that Cagle was sidestepping—then the lights flashed in a blinding glare—and went out The thumping in his head gradually separated into distinct voices. “Must be badly hurt, Doc.” “Perhaps just shaken upr— he lit on his neck " “He’s stalling because he missed the tackle."

Cannot Increase In the opinion of Henry B.

The rates as fixed late Monday evening are therefore final and municipalities and school units will have to try to carry on next year with whatever money the re- ' duced rates will bring. If the taxing units have surpluses on hands ' at the beginning of the year they ' might be able to weather through, officials state.
