MEN LIKE GODS The connection between the famous "monkey trial" at , Dayton, Tenn., and the present monkcyshines against King George and books that are said to glorify England to the ex pense of our colonist forefathers, is not so remote. Maybe, alter all, both stand for the same thing. There is a spark in us that rebels at Darwinism. Coldly to call our ancient Aunt Emmas really simians, and to refer to the men of the Revolution as a bunch of rebellious farmers who were en tirely wrong, awakens resentment. Men, in the last an alysis, like to think they come unflinching science has to say at Dayton and Chicago are profound. The affair at Dayton was more than a comedy. Rather it might be called an ex pression of man's own high interest in his pride of origin To be traced back to the chattering cocoanut throwers doesn't jibe with whatever ideas of nobility we have acquired of ourselves. So is the affair at Chicago more than a mere . twisting of the tail of his majesty's fine lion. It is a revolt ' against research which claims that those brave hearts of '. the Boston tea party were only vandals and that "our fath ers" were a pack of illiterate, money-grubbing, aleguzzling mal-patriols. A descendant of monkeys? With ancestors such as latter-day historians would saddle upon us? We don't believe a word .of it I . , , ; - A college education is essential if the boy wishes to be come a doctor, lawyer'or engineer, but in all cases he must have not only the wish but Ahe will to study, according to Father Fox, president of Marquette University. In a re cent address Father Fox estimated that of the 600,000 young men now in college, it would have been better in nearly 100, 000 cases if they had never gone; Colleges exist to train the mind by exercising it in study, he said, but much of the present-day rush to colleges merely is a result of young men's and young women's preference for the society of oilier young men and young women to. that, of their elders. "We guaran tee satisfaction," Father Fox said, ''or we return the boy. In every case we mean' it is the boy who must provide the satisfaction." There 'is: a thought for parents' whose. sons arc in college or about to go, ( Is the bpy ready to provide satisfaction? o A recent report of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in dicated that 117,000,000 persons in the country had a total income of nearly $90,000,000,000 in 192(i. These figures mean something. The report shows an increase of about $27,000,000,000 in income since . 1921 more than 43 per cent. A total of $(i2,000,000,000 income was recorded in 1921. This increased $3,000,000,000 in 1922, went up 57,000,000,000 more in 1923, and so on to 192G when ex actly $89,082,000,000 was earned. The figures show that to day the national wealth of the United States must be slightly above $500,000,000,000. That's half a trillion. Count it be fore you predict any "hard limes" in this country. o- Suppose you had walked downtown one day in 1911 willi IJG8 in your pocket, dropped in at your broker's office and bought a share of General Motors slock. Today your $GS would be represented by 42 shares worth nearly $0000. : If you had done that, to your income this year would be added $300 or thereabouts, your share of the $553 the stock would earn. Confidence in the fuluro of American industry is n S'me thing to have coupled with practical wisdom. o Mincemeat is so popular with Uncle Sam's sailors that the navy has asked bids for 75,000 pounds of it. And here wo had been thinking the sailors made their own mincc .mcat of the marines. o A statistician figures that Adam would be 5931 years old now. And he'd probably say that an apple a day did it.

GEORGIA AND P TTSBURGH A CLOSE RAGE ' Football Championship of Nation Is Not Yet i Known. I NARROWING DOWN Two Teams Have Substan tial Claim to Honors, Say Critics Yale Disputes Pitt's Prowess. By ALAN J. HOULD (Associated 1'russ Sporta KUitor) ; (AMticuted I'rcM Lvuwtl Wire) NEW YOKK, Nov. 2S. The cli mux of colk'go football's spectacu lar season, now awaiting only the final returns from a few sectors of the south and fur wost, leaves the national championship situation still undecided but with the race narrowed down, in the opinion of most unbiased observers, to a con test between the bulldogs of Geor gia and the Panthers of Pitts burgh, Tlieso two have their rivals and challengers for sectional as well as national honors but few critics question that, for tho present at least, they have a substantial claim as any outfit to tho maiu laurel wreaths. i . Tlfo titlo hopes of caeh now are centered about forthcoming ' en gagements that j will determine theln final rating." Georgia, with nine successive victories to Us credit and Yule, among its victims, plays Georgia Tech In tho classic of thu south at Atlanta this Satur day. Pittsburgh, trl.umiihunt in eight games and tied .only by Washington auu Jeliers'ou, jour neys to the Far West for the Tour nament of Itoscs .game on January i with Lelund , Stanford, one of the1 contenders for tho , Pacific Coast Conference crown. Tho outcome of these battles may not end the dispute but they at least will help to cleur tlio title atmosphere. f There are at lea3t a half dozen other, teams whose records cannot be overlooked when the final nU lug Is posted, even though UiuU' achievements may not nuile match those of Geoiglu and Pittsburgh. Yale men dispute Pittsburgh's claim to the eastern peak hut Yale's defeat by Georgia eliminat ed .1 from the national picture. Washington and Jefferson would havu remained at Pill's side but for another tie with West Virginia on tho same day that the Panthers were crushing Penn Stato. Illinois, champions of the West ern Conference, experienced only a tie with Iowa State. Likewise the powerful Texas Aggies, title holders iu the southwestern con ference, eiime throu :h the season w-ilh a slalo marred only by a scoreless deadlock with Texas Christian University. Tennessee was lied once by Vanderhllt after keeping pace most, of the season with Georgia. Minnesota's jugger naut was also unoeaien but was lied twice, by Indiana and Notre Dame. Notre Dame's warriors set out menacingly along the national championship highway hut after bumping Into Minnesota, Koeknes ramblers wore blown out of the the picture by the Army's big guns. Not even such notable tri umphs as those over Navy, Geor gia Tech am, Southern California could put Notre Dame back iu po sition to dispute the national title. Ilesldes Its rivalry for title hon ors, the II127 season left n trail of upsets, marked by the overthrow of champions In nearly every con ference and section, as well as new high marks In attendance and receipts. Kigurcs gathered from all parts or the country indicate that the aggregate attendance was between I 2: million and .'In million with the gate somewhere Iu the neighbor-! hood of $:",ii,iiiii).iino. Considering the comparative shortness of the gridiron season, this Is a mark that no oilier sport, amateur or professional, can match.

Once good radicals would have shuddered. Now they niunnuer, "Poor little buby trust, we hope you survive." ' One hundred republican leaders are invited to organize a "wet" republican campaign for 1928. That probably won t amount to more than the old prohibition party amounted to before prohibition. .Many republicans, and democrats, loo, are wet, but they won t Bay much about it at election time. many of these items intelligently uiui make recommendations to this body. This year a number of un looked for occurrences have cur tailed our erforts. There are two items which we have given careful study, and we hope this body will give us their vigorous support: The method by which tho vari ous road districts In the county are conducted is meeting with great, disappointment. While some uf these overseers are competent men, many are not. Much incompe tency and partiality is , frequent ly found. Practically none of them have suiiiciem machinery to do their work economically and effi ciently, it is safe to state that a large majority of the road dis tricts are paying far more than necessary for tho results obtained. We believe this county should have from six to ten large road outfits with mooorn machinery aud Competent men, which may be secured. Such outfits could attend to the work for six to ten of the various road districts. Ave Mm i think it would be advisable to con solidate these various road dis tricts into one, but permit each district to receive their propor tion of road funds as now, and, if they chooso, vote special tax. Tho various construction crews with ' their modern equipments would be far more efficient than tho present plan. Wo believe 40 per cent would be saved the ma jority of the road districts. In other words almost double the amount of work secured for the dame money. . ; We aru aware that some rdftd; oversecra and numerous parties ip' every road district will oppose this method, because they are looking forward to the' labor they will probably secure. In altogether too many instances word has come in from the various road districts that an extra roal tax has been voted simply because the parties who hope to secure work were per sonally interested in so voting. It is very evident that a great many taxpayers are ' arriving at the point where they will oppose any lurther special taxes until a more efficient system is worked out. ' We hope this body will not pass this over lightly. The road ques tion should hn of vital importance to us all. 11 we could save from 2ft to 60 per cent, better roads and less taxes would result. Orchard Fund Needed The second item is pertaining to the late Horticultural Law. Under the present law orchards may be condemned, destroyed, and the ex pense charged up to the property. No foreclosure, or any complicated trouble need be involved. The ex pense Is simply charged up as a tax. Tho Horticultural Inspector has police powers aud. ample au, thorliy. He does not require, how-! over, a working fund to pay for labor. Sometimes this money! comes back readily, but frequently! the work is on property on the do-! linquent tax list and returns slow ly. Such a fund Is known as a re volving fund. There is such a fund In this county, but It Is entirely in adequate. Such a fund costs the county not h big unless you count the Interest which it does not draw. The horticultural interests of Douglas ('ounty have assumed targe proportions, and will doubt less expand. We all know that old and neglected orchards, many owned by non-residents, aro found In nearly every district, and are a menace. Furthermore, they are an eyesore, and causing much unfav orable comment by our visitors, am! prospective purchasers. This item tdiould be of especial ilitvrest to the various booster clubs in the county. We believe that their work Is largely offset by this lark of cleaning up. If many of these disgraceful old orchards were destroyed, tho land would be utilized to better advant age. We have ah inspector to at tend to this work aud all wu tcsk Is a hi ode st amount as a loan only to clean up these sources of infec tion, and the repulsive appearance. Wo are aware tho Court has mnny vcxin questions to grapple with, nevertheless our fruit grow ers are entitled to protection, and our district to r better appearance. We believe this body should ai poiut a committee, who will take this matter up with the Court and insist the law be enforced, ard the fruit growers protected. C. E. MOVER. M. H. C.KKKN. Considerable dlscm-sion resulted regarding the cominitte's report, it was shown that the tpt of roads now being nminiained can not be cared for by the old system or hnnd work nud teams.

And then he shook his little head, "i have my doubts, but even so, I hope that you are right. If falling in that little stream's- to blame I'm glad. It's like a dream.'' And then a Buddy answered, "es, we're good when we are white. "That water washed the black from us and now not one of us will fuss, no matter what may hap pen. We will all be very gay. That's something we can prove to you. Just tell us what you'd like to do, and we will gladly join you whether it is work or play." This- puzzled Clowny for a Bpell. and then the Buddies heard him yell, "Let's take your wagon from the stream before it breaks in two. 'Twill come in bandy, now and then. You all may waut to ride again" The Buddies cheered, uud said this was the proper thing to do. Down to the stream they gaily went, and 'bout a half an iwur was spent before they got the wagon out, and safely on tue .shore. They had to work with all' uieir might. Some rocks had held the wheels real tight. Poor Clowny tugged away so hard it made his muscles sore. They all sat down to rest a while. One Buddy then begun to smile. "I'll tell you what we'll do," he said. "It's Clowny's turn to ride. We'll pull him in the wag on far, to whore the other Tlnies are." Then Clowny jumped up to hl feet..- "That will bo fine," he cried.- 1 v ' .' So, in the wagon Clowny Jump ed. He was so thrilled, his. wee heart thumped.- ,"1'1I soon see all tho other . Tinymites," Baid he, "Hurray!" The Buddies quickly grabbed a hold, and o'er the bill but the county could maintain sev; eral outfits aud keep them busy all year. While many-people would fail to get the money thoy are now receiving for road work, yet it was the general opinion Unit better roads wwild result; ind that- '-tbo work could be dune more cheaply and efficiently ; thau under the present system. ' ;'- 1 It was decided, regarding ' tho horticultural , fundi : to ask the county court to increase the re volving fund from 51,500 to $2,500 and to appoint a committee to keep In touch -with the work being done. The committee' named con sisted of Mi B. Green, R. H. C. Wood and Clay Smith. ' 1 The committee's report ; was adopted in its entirety. ;- The legislative' c6mmitteo: sub mitted a. verbal report- and reconir mended; 'among other ; things- that real property be, assessed every five years instead ot every year. It was felt that such procedure would save considerable expense on the part of field assessors. Tho assessor would, under this plan, follow tho same schedule for a five-year period, -making a correc tion each five years. Tho committee also recommend ed 'that the leugue sponsor a bill before the next legislature, pro viding that in state and county elect Ions that only freeholders-can vote on matters .relhtlve to taxes. Both of these recommendations were unanimously adopted. Assessor Calkins and Deputy Sheriff Roberts, head of the tax department, were invited to speak! before tho league relative to the proposal to consolidate the cleri cal forces of the two offices. It was shown that such a consolida tion Is impossible, due to the fact that both offices have their work so arranged that the clerks art1 kept busy the full year, and that their rush periods come at the same time. ClerkS to Get Pay Mr. Roberts explained that In his department the budget calls for an Increaso of 5-t00 for salar ies with a reduction of a like OUT OUR WAY DID X HEAP? x MOO CALLiMC ME.. MA ?

This ho said would1 give greater efficiency, reducing the number of errors, at no extra expense. . . . , The change was favored by tho league. There 'was little "discussion con-' cernlng road matters. Ben Nichols of Days Creek, speaking briefly concerning; the Tiller-Trail cut-off road, stating that the districts in terested are not askb'P, for any outside help but are only asking that the" money-raised ,withlinlujx districts for road purposes bo ex pended on this road.- . i - ' A resolution commending the' county court for devoting all ot the O. and C. grant land funds to the retirement of bonded indebted ness and the construction of a courthouse, was adopted. The county co'urt was invited to meet .with the league in a discus sion of tho courthouse matter. . Th court stated that it has sot aside 200,000 for the construc tion of a building, and expects to erect a structure within that esti mates Thnre is available an addi tional sum of $75,000 which can be used for furniture and equipment, so, Hint the completed building, with all Its furnishings, it is be lieved, can bo built for not to ex ceed $275,000. The league went on I record as approving the court's ! action in this matter. The sentl-j ment of the taxpayers was that If I a building can be erected and com-j pletely furnished for not to exceed j $300,000 that the work should pro ceed at once.
