WESLEYAN AND
CHAMPIONSHIP
PROSPECTS APPEAR GOOD FOR
HIGH HONORS-BIG CROWD
WANTED FOR FINAL GAME
HERE.

Local football fans lately have be
come enthusiastic over the prospects
of Dakota Wesleyan with regard to
the collegiate championship OF the
state, The fact that Coach Douglas
men last Saturday held the Brook
ingS Aggies scoreless and this in
the face OF Il discouraging start this
season,-has sent Wesleyan stock
soaring.
The result of the game With the
Rapid City eleven next Friday Will
have an important bearing on the
race for the collegiate title. Thus far
Brookings and Mitchell are tied for
first honors. The state college also
will meet the School of Mines ON
Thanksgiving day and if the Miners
are defeated in both contests, the
rank of the winners will have to be
decided on the basis of comparative
scores.
However, neither the Farmers nor
the Methodists are making predic-
tions as to the outcome of their games
with the Miners. 1t is known that the
school of Mines is represented by one
of the strongest a~ggregations in its

Westerners in former struggles has
always been Flight" from the first
blast of the whistle to the finish.
The recent showing of the Wes-
leyans is remarkable. With only three
or four of last years team on the
lineup, Coach Douglas has now de-
veloped a formidable fighting ma
chine. The i~neXperience OF the new
men presented Il heavy handicap at
the start of the season and the first
four games fere defeats. The decisive
victory over Yankton ten days ago
and the great showing against Brook
ings last Saturday have, however,
entirely reversed matters. Captain
Chase and his squad are in the pink
of condition for the game Friday and
are determined to strengthen their
chances for the annexation of the
championship title among he state
colleges.

Mourninn colors.

when people who write for fashion
publication says a Vienna letter,
have nothing more 20 say about
queer-shaped hats, %grotesque skirts
and other equally important matters,
they tell us that black is going out and
white is to be the mourning color-if
white may be so termed. This fashion
news item may be looked for several
times a year, but black, sombre black,
still maintains its place. The band on
the sleeve has done much to save
money for those who still wish to wear
a badge of mourning, but the sleeve
band will never be white. The greater
display o. mourning is made with sta.
t%ionery, the size of the cards and the
depth of the black borders indicating
what? There will be real mourning
among the s%tationers when one may
announce the death of a beloved one
or tell of his good qualities on paper
which is pure white"

Paper Clothing.

The latest idea is clothing made OF

states that they are at The present

can be sewn and hold buttons. PA

are made in Germany" he said. Pa
per hats have been a fashion for
some time. Instead of wearing wash

children can have each day a new pa
per hat costing from two cents To
twelve cents, which takes one item of
the washing bill. Paper shirts are
being produced at 10 cents apiece.
while the cost of a paper h~andker

washing of a linen one. In the house.

CITY FACES
MILK FAMINE
THIS STAPLE ROOD SUPPLY *
GROWING SHORT IN TINS
NEIGHBORliOOD. LEAPS 10
TEN CENTS PER OF ART.

The people of Mitchell are awak-
ening TO the fact that the city is
threatened with a genuine milk
famine and many families today are
reyerting 10 the use of canned and
condensed milk and cream. In sup
port OF this fact local dealers are
said to be buying double quantities
OF the canned article. Michell only
has one dealer who makes AN effort
10 deliver milk on a large scale. This
is Geo. Conrad who purchased his
line from the Turner Creamery
company. Nh. Conrad evidently
tackled 1t bigger Job than he expect
ed and as a result he is having 4
hard time to supply his regular Gus
toners. He announced this morning
that he is not going out OF business
and that he will continue to deliver
milk as long as he car supply it.
The point of the question however
is, that the present few small dealers
i'm milk are not able to meet the de.
mands of a city this size. There are
many complaints and it is eViden'
that Thanksgiving markets will be
shy on the milk proposition unless
some enterprising farmer m t.

Kerosene Fails to
Make the Auto Go.

Garage owners and auto repair men
have reaped rich harvest in Camilla and
all over Mitchell county and a radius OF
a hundred miles around since the arrival
of certain car of liquid there a week OF
two ago, according to the agent Of an oil
company who came back to Atlanta to-
day after an inspection trip. And the
circumstances thereof furnish sideflght
on the efficiency of at least one of the
states official oil inspectors.
That tank car, branded gasoline, came
in to Camilla and the inspector looked al
it, tested 1t [ reckon, and passed it," said
the agent Then the local dealer ac-
cepted 1t. Then he commenced to sell il
out to retailers and automobile owners in
four counties
Two days after that every car in those
four counties was stranded in the road.
Most Of them were old models, any way.
and the owners just decided they were
ready for overhauling, and had them
dragged into the garages and taken to
pieces. They tell me there wasn't but one
car in Camilla running same as usual and
