REGARDING RE- FOOTBALL The Freeport High School football team had an interesting variation in their practice when on Wednesday a f ternoon they went to St. Paul's field at Garden City to practice against the team of that school. Because of the H e rbert John- much superior strength of the St. Paul squad a game was not arranged for, but in order to gain experience and practice for the Freeport players and those of St. Paul as well, this a rrange should be brought about only after careful study by competent men, or confusion will result.

At the meeting of the Board of Vil lage Trustees the question of record ing committee actions was talked of. President Cox exprest the belief that make the County into a city, and many all committee work should be report- ; people feel that it has not yet arrived at a point in its development where its best interests would be served by city government. W hat could be done at once would be an amendment to the tax law, provid ing that the Town Board of Assessors should he the assessors for village, school, town, county and state. This would obviate the complaints and trouble arising now from village a sses sors fixing one rate, and town assessors another. Another amendment should be a pro vision th a t ail school, town and county ed to the Board and made a m atter of record on the minutes. That's a proposition I have urged several times, but it isn’t done, just the same. For instance, I’ll chal lenge anybody to show on the Village records reports of the street commit tee of the streets on which Peekskill gravel has been laid for the last OUR SHERIFF’S MODESTY.

I think that the new law should provide that a taxpayer could pay his taxes in q u a rt erly payments, which would provide the different departments and villages with an almost continuous income throughout the year. This would necessitate the villages and the school districts, as well as the county and town, making up their bud gets at the same time of the year, so that the rate could be fixed by the tax officers and their respective districts.

The wiry little chap on the mettlesome black horse, looked very much like our old friend, Steve Hunt, of 67, who was boss marshal of the parade. Fol lowing him came the city police of Freeport and then a large brass band in resplendent uniforms, playing lust ily the National airs, and to my sur prise it was a real Junior Order band from Wayne Council, in Brooklyn. Then came our State Officers in open carriages, led by the State Councilor. Following them came company after company of dark blue uniformed men, armed with rifles and complete march ing equipment. The flying banners de noted that each company represented a Council in the State and the number of men passing by were 1,000—a full regim ent of Juniors. W hat a glorious sight! So perfectly had these men been drilled in their company rooms that they marched like regulars, in regimental form. The town of Freeport was wildly e x cited over the demonstration and most of the houses and stores were beauti fully decorated. The regim e n t lined up in front of the Hall, where the State Council was about to open its session and the State Councilor was just passing in review, when I woke up suddenly and found th a t I had only been dreaming—somethimes dreams come true, and sometimes they are an inspiration—wouldn’t it be a big idea to make this dream come true for our next Convention Day.— (The Dream e r .) —“ The American,” the Jr. O. U. A. M. Official Organ, issue of October 20, 1913. It would almost seem as though our friend “ Dream er” was a victim of Welsh Rarebits, but as he says that sometimes dreams come true—some- ’vLvu. in W U n d «nd Scotch , . ro r tne vmage times they are an inspiration, what a M u ^ d £ 0t ^ i big thing it would be if we, of Free port Council, should get together and musical program and a atereopticon lecture on, “ Our Most Democratic In stitution—The Telephone.” Showing by picture and explanation the interior working of the Telephone System, its birth, development and future; show ing central offices, plapt and manage things the user knows little, if anything about.

A number of the girls of the high school have taken an interest in the association as to make several ban ners and pennants bearing the name of the club. A movement is on foot to combine this organization with the Ku Klux in order to form one association with the members of both, thus helping to put L “ er team s in the field, because of the greater number who would go out [ for the teams.
