Three  Game Victory  Over Haarer's
Elevates Oar Dealers; Aimbrus-
ter-Tanner Tie for Second.
Thursday night the TLarmee Batter team from 'Ann Arbor defeated
Tanner's three games. The first one
ended in a ties and the result of, the
second game fwas. to be' the result of
ootih, and TLarmee won.
Sunday afternoon Tanner's bowled
against the Recreation team of Detroit" and were again, defeated three
games, TMr, Tanner's brother is ' a
member of the Detroit team, but
there iwas no brotherly affection'
shown in the bowling-. *  .
There has been much controversy
over the calling of fouls since the
start of the second half of the schedule, due to the fact that only stepping over the line was called. Therefore, starting Monday, all fouls will
be called.
Last Wednesday night Armbruster's defeated •Haarer.s* two games, to
go into a temporary tie for first place
in the league. We are unable to give
you! the complete score, due to the
fact that the score sheet has been
mislaid.
Monday night THaarer's .again met
defeat, this time at. the hands of
Wiedman's7 The first game, was
close, the auto dealers, winning by
only nine pins, but they were never
in doubt as ta the last two. D. Noble
walked away with all the honors
with high single spore of 227 *and
high total of 523.
The scores follow.

j AROUND THE TOWN   {
BY 7NICODE7MUS*
Individualisni
What a town, Saline! How can.
you expect a winning team without
support?
How many times have you heard
that?   How often have I said it?
Well, friends, I takfe it back. .If
Saline can't win-with the support she
had Friday,' I'm afraid '•shd* never
wiU. •
It wasn't that U. High was better.
No, Saline was just punk. No co-operation, every man for himself, perfect individualism... For some..reason
Saline couldn't 'take ■'the' bail off
either backboard. The only showing
Saline made ' was Warren Gross'
"lucky'' long shot and "Marion's few
foul shots. Half, the time Saline
couldn't even hit the backboard. Is
it over-confidence, * individualism, or
Just hard luck? TIf the latter, the
boys deserve sympathy; if either of
the former I'd say some good hard
practice as a remedy.
You've got the support now, fellows," we're still iwith you. All we
ask for is your best. Of course you
don't admit last week's game was
your best? . We Tfenow^different—we
saw you play Lincoln.?
Ttf Saline had clicked Friday- as she
did sthe, .week' before, U. High's electric score board would have blushed
for 'shame. (Maybe it did last week
when-""Puffy" tried to make a basket
on the wrong side of the backboard.')
We learned a lesson .last week.
Let's profit by it. The boys lost a
game they should have won. They
need a razizirig, but -jthat doesn't
mean we should stop,* the 'sgrand support. Stick by them, while 'they're
losing as you. did t\vo weeks ago.
We'll come out on top.yet.
St. Paul's annual play was given
last week. Judging from, the attendance, the depression is over. I was
very glad to see such a marvelous
turn-out. A play represents weeks
of hard, diligent study. There is
plenty of hard work Connected with
it, too. For all this work, -the least
we can do is support the enterprise.

CARD OF THANKS
j We wish to express our apprecia-
', tion to friends, neighbors and rela-
■ tives for the many, acts of kindness
- shown us in our recent bereavement
and to Rev. Ede for his comforting
' words.

The 'senior play is to be presented
February 9th. I am telling you if
you miss that play, you'll miss the
most lot cf fun you ever had. It is
a comedy right, with laughs galore
throughout. Of course, it contains
the necessary amount of romance to
thrill you through and through.
There's the maid, who is so romantic she speaks in poetry. O'f course
she has "a pie-eating .lover, sthe cop.
Then there's the loving little wife
whose' middle name is jealousy; who
kisses her husband's guest to see iif
a tint of some other < powder is nc-
ticable. With-this we have an ardent
lover, gigilcs, old maids and movis
stars. *" Such a cast you, never sav/
before. By chance I've read ths play
and take it from me you'll never see
another like it.
Pack that school house like you've
never done before. Thsse folks will
be out in the "hard, ccld world" before long. This is your last chance
to- support them. Give them, something to look back upon, something
to remember through the years ox
their lives.
You won't be disappointed, I assure you. TCf you are, your money
will be refunded as you leave, (yes,
you bet) that is, if you:-* can find the
guy that sold you; the ticket, -
Now that, it's perfectly understood
you should support the senior; ;play,
I'll sign off. -For some uncanny reason I have a -particulate*interest, in
thii class and would like to see thsm
make good. ■ \
Another Candidate
For The Legislature
(Representative Vernon J. Browns of
Ingham county is recognized by his
colleagues in the lower house at Lan-
sing.(as;7an^authority on state taxa-
tionT-'" We 'are ^presenting herewith"
Mr. Brown's formula on this inucfi
discussed question, it may not be a
perfect answer to our perplexing tax
problems, but at least it will assist
us to start thinking* in the right direction: ""*
1;—.Property tax for support of
county, township and city government iwith not to exceed three, mills
added for support of the public
school 'system.
2.—Sales tax at a rate of not to
exceed two per cent with proper exemptions so as to apply the tax only
to articles sold for ultimate consumption, proceeds to be applied to
support of state government including institutions pf all kinds. Miscellaneous revenues from ^various sourc-
se for specific functions tp be added.
3.—Apply license and motor fuel
taxes to- automotive vehicles using
public highways and streets allocating all revenues from this'souree and
using no other for the construction,
improvement sand maintenance of all
public highways and city streets.
i.—Jlmpose graduated income taxes
for the taxation of incomes, either
personal pr corporate, from whatev- ,
er sources derived to provide revenues "for equalization of school costs
to the end that the school district
after levying a three-mill property
tax and receiving its share of the
primary schcol interest fund, need
levy added tax burdens upon its local-
property or deny its children the essentials of a common school education based upon standards laid down
for the entire state.
5.—TTtnasmuch as the use of liquor
may properly be charged with a distinct contribution to poverty and social disorder, all revenues from this
source should be devoted to some
form of social relief, the old age
pension, mothers' pensions, support
ox hospitals and prisons and similar
objectives.

LODI TAX NOTICE
Proud exhibitors Of potatoes, seeds*
grains, livestock, and turkeys will-
vie with competitors from other sections of Michigan for blue ribbons' a.t
the many shows to be held during
Farmers Week at Michigan State
college, Jan. 29 to Feb. 3.
The grain and potato shows have
tlie longest history, the best products
of Michigan's fields having been displayed at nearly every cne of these
snnval f^rmers' gatherings. , -Michigan exhibitors who obtained good
training at the college shows have,
since, become keen .competitors in"
the national and international shows.
Exli'i-'tor's obtain* greater values
than the actual trophies awarded at
the show. Standards demanded by
judges before giving prizes are a
means of teaching growers just what
qualities the grains, seeds, or potatoes, or livestock should have to
bring the best market prices. Michigan growers have learned these
standards and have profited,from the
sale of first class goods to other
states.
All tvnes of livestock will be
shown at the college, most of the
animals exhibited (will be selected
from those grown in production cont
•*ests. Pens of lambs, baby beeves,
horses, and swine will be on display.
The college stock will also be shown
but not for prizes. Some of the best
horses in America are in the college
barns.
The turkiey show attracts a lot of
in-ers-.-t. as many fanners or their
wives use the Thanksgiving bird to
increase their farm incomes. The
best types of birds will be exhibited.

Traffic rules- will be suspended on
the college campus Farmers Week,
Jan. 28* to Feb. 3, when the thousands
of visitors swill be accorded parTking
and driving privileges which will
make the regular inhabitants green
with envy, according to the officers
who Will direct the stream of cars.
The college owns plenty of ground
to park ajl ears but unfortunately the
open spaces are not immediately adjacent to the building where most of
the meetings are held. Visitors who
e.re renaming on the grounds
throughout the day are urged to
park their cars in the morning and
not attempt to move them to travel
to a nearby building. The best 'parking places are south, of the Red
Cedar nsar the stadium "or demonstration hall. ...
Ordinary Ca.r.tion in driving will
keep everyone in a frame of mind to
.enjoy the crowded programs. Honking horns to annoy the driver aheard
in line of traffic is apt to create a.
savage who can not be soothed by
subsequent music.
Thera are four entrances to the
.campus from the mam street in East
Lansing. Visitors from the south
can enter the college grounds from
the Fsrm Lane entrance a mile south
of ths- buildings or from Harrison
avenue near . the state "police bar-
rafeks.
The college traffic officers are" located in ths; power house and lost
articles or other troubles should be
reported to them in person or by telephone.
The road cops say that if you hold
out your hand when you are about
to stop or turn it will save your raising your hand in court actions for
damage resulting from collisions.

Scout Anniversary Week, celebrating the 24th birthday of the Boy
Scout movement in the United
States, will be observed from Thursday, February 8 to Wednesday, Februarv 14." inclusive. Present plans
point to the most extensive celebration ever held in the history of the
movement.
Several special features iwill mark
this years observance. Perhaps the
highest point of interest is attached
to the mystery connected with the
National Good Turn which will be requested of all scouts and scouters by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in
his broadcast at 12 o'clock Saturday
noon, February 10. No advance information as to the nature of the
"Good "Turn" will be available until
the moment the President ma,kes the
announcement. Boy scouts in every
Corner of the country are already
holding practice mobilizations in order to be- prepared to carry out the
TPTresident's, wishes with utmost efficiency.
Another feature of interest (will be
the formation of the "Old Scout Association," which is intended to give
former scouts and leaders, to the
number of over 5,000,000' an opportunity to associate themselves more
definitely with the scout program of
citizenship. Many troops will Taold
reunions during the week, with potluck suppers and banquets to welcome back the "old-timers" into the
fellowship of the greater scout program.
Each of the three districts of the
Washtenaw-Livingston Boy Scout
council will have an anniversary week
committee which will prepare detailed plans for the troops within the
particular area. Clubs, schools and
churches will hold Boy Scout programs during the week.
