SYRACUSE TEAM READY.
Second EleUen Scores First Touch
dozen against Yale varsity.

Word comes from Syracuse that the football
eleven which will do battle with the Carlisle IN
dians in this city Saturday is in fine condition
This game will give New York footfull lovers a
chance one all too rare for thair liking nowadays.
to throng the Polo Grounds. The Syracuse alumni
had good deal 70 do with having the game played
here. for they have not had chance to see their
eleven in action since 1902. when the team from
the Salt City played Columbia in a fight that has
not been forgotten. Columbia was thought 70 be
hopelessly outclassed that year. but made great
fight and scored touchdown when the game was
nearly over. Tho issue hinged on the kicking OF
a goal and the ball hit the erossbar however, and
finally went over. making the score tie. at to6.
Syracuse has come up, good deal in the foot
ball world since then, and has made trouble for
all sorts Of teams. and the Indians always
strong. Last year Carlisle beat Syracuse by a.
score OF 10 to o. owing TO three field goals. Syra-
cuse has made the better showing this year. but
the game on Saturday is the first real test for
both elevens, and the result is not easy to guess
Syracuse is going TO bring down big delega-
tion. More than a thousand students it is said
have planned 70 make the trip to New York. and
II so, what with the bog crowd OF Syracuse alumni
that the city is furnish. there ought to be
a revival Of the Oldtime The last time tho
Indians played here was in 1907, when Princeton
won hard game by score Of 1s to o. the game
being played in a downpour OF rain.
New Haven. Oct. 1s-The scrub team beat tne
Yale varsity to-day when Freeman seized the ball
on tumble in the shadow OF his own goal posts
and raced the length OF the field for a touchdown
the only score made during a stiff scrimmage
This touchdown represents the first crossing OF
Yale's goal line this year and the climax Of
a hard practice game against exceptionally
strong scrub. reinforced by the presence Of Field
and Holt in its backfeld.
Captain Coy did all the kicking to-day and
showed splendid form. but took no other part in
the scrimmage. He was told by his doctor to-day
that he could get into the game against West Point
on Saturday. IL he wants TO do so. and NAV play
his first game this season against the Cadets.
Hyde replaced Cooney at centre on the varsity
to-day, as the passing OF this veteran this week
has failed to please the coaches. The other changes
made on Monday stood. however. 1t is by no
means settled however, that Cooney will not start
the game on Saturday and he is reasonably sure
TO get in for part Of the time. in any case.

COUNTRY BANKERS OF NORTH
DAKOTA

do country banks of North Dakota
drain the money into financial cen
ters?" This is one question which
the Roosevelt Commission on Coun-
try Life has sent to the University
Of North Dakota for answer. Messrs.
Bartlett and D. V. Eastman, two stu
dents Of the University, have made
extensive investigation in all parts
OF the state, to see what is the actual
relation of the bank to the farmers
of the community. Practically all
banks report the bulk of their de-
posts located in the community from
which drawn. More than this. State
banks, dealing in real estate mort.
cages, commonly sell these MORTGAGES
IN the east, thus bringing outside
Capital into the country community.
After the crop-moving season there is
surplus of. local money, and this,
Tor time, is placed Oil the money
market of the final centers.

COAL-NORTH DAKOTA's BLACK
DIAMONDS,

At last, it seems, something is 90.
ing to be done about it. Uncle Sam
has long been getting bulletins from
the School Of Mines, University OF
North Dakota, telling about the states
wealth in coal, clay, and gas, especial.
ly clay. And at least Uncle Sam sits
up and takes notice. Last week
Prof. e. ]. Babcock, head of the
School of Mines, received a communi.
cation from the United States Fuel
Testing Department, asking him at
once to arrange for the shipment of
ten carloads of ignite coal from vari-
Gus sections of the state. The ignite
is to be shipped direct to headquarters
for the purpose Of testing for briouet-
ting in the governments newly in
stalled plant. This plant has been
imported from Belgium, the home OF
hriquetting, and it comes as a very
pleasing recognition of NORTH Dakota
and OF Prof. Babcock. to have the
test made of our own Ignite among
the very first If the test proves
successful, as many believe it will be,
who can predict what great things 1t
means for this state!

SCIENCE GUESS-WORk AND YOUR
COAL BILL

No greater problem confronts the
North Dakota settler than the fuel
problem. Shall he burn wood, Zig
mite, soft coal, or hard COAL Tint
depends on two things-the cost OF
the fuel and the amount of heat 1t
will furnish. Most people make a
"guess' at the amount of heat pro-
duced by any particular fuel. Yet
careful scientific tests-about S hours
for each test-show exactly the
amount of heat produced by any
given fuel, says Prot E. J. Babcock
of the School Of Mines, University Of
North Dakota. He spent his Christ
mas vacation shut up in his chemical
laboratory making tests OF this kind
On Goals from every part Of the state.
Some interesting and remarkable va
riations were revealed, especially in
comparison with the best grades Of
eastern soft coal subjected to the
same tests. He will soon issue a bull
letin dealing with this phase of
the Ignite question. It is problem
of great economic Importance to the
state, and one in which guess-work
should no longer play an important
part.

The papers wer sent to us by the
Chamberlain Medicine Co. Of Des

informed that the Chamberlain Co
advertises in papers printed in 81
different languages, in all parts oil

papers is the Africaander, printed in
Cradock, South Africa. It's front page
consists entirely Of advertisements, in
fact most of the foreign PAPERS give
up their entire front pages to adver.
tisements. None Of the papers can
compare with those printed in Amer
ica. The ones resembling nearest
the American papers are the Manila
Times and the Hawaiian Star. Those
papers are printed in English, and re-
semble the better class Of American
dailies. The Times of Natal, publish
ed at Petermaritzburg takes the cake
1t is nine columns wide and three or
four feet long. 1t IS printed on pink
paper. This is one of the Oldest of
the South African papers and sells

from johannesburg. South Africa, gives
its entire front page to ads. and at
the top of the page appears this ad. in
prominent type "Who doesn't drinl,

Senator WaMin is of the opinion
that Ninot will secure the Normal
school all right. He says that he has
been unable to learn Of any opposi.
tion to the bill in the senate and from
what he can learn, the bill ought to
pass the house without much trouble,
The bill will come up on Feb. II. ON
a special order having been postpon-
ed shortly before the legislature ad.
journed for its vacation. Mr.. Wallin
believes that more good can be done
towards landing the Normal school by
distributing booklet showing the ad-
Vantages Of having the school located
in Minot, in brief form. The mem
bers of the legislature should be
shown that the Northwestern portion
OF the, state needs the school and that
Minot is the logical location for the
school. Minot is centrally located and
it is right fer this reason If for no
other that the school be located here.
Velva offered fifteen acre site for
the school. Minot could Offer such
site, but it would probably not be
necessary. The state has plenty OF
money for buying a site, and one can
be procured at very reasonable figure
close to this city.
