po,nTERs on PorAroEs

The potato is an important
North Dakota crop. 1t is being
developed rapidly in the state and
a market is being gradually estab-
'lished here for. it. Dealers find
that there are some points in the
culture of potatoes that are often
overlooked but that bear directly
upon it's market price and sale.
Potatoes are grown to eat.
Most growers seem never to have
thought of this fact. They have
raised potatoes to sell and have
considered only the market price
and the yield they could get. They
have not realized that the more
delicious the cooked potato tasted
and smelled and the less waste
there was in preparing it for the
table, the more potatoes would be
used and the higher would be the
price.
A potato should be white, mealy
and dry when cooked. The ~ 'or
should be delicious, the odor so
appetizing, when such potatoes
are served, everyone should want
a second helping and like to have
potatoes often.
More than half the potatoes that
are grown in the centeral west arc
soggy when cooked, the odor and
flavor are Indifferent and often
there are yellowish OF brownish
streaks through them. Few peo-
pie want a second helping and
there are too many meals when
potatoes are not served because
nobody cares much for them.
The potato grower, more than
any other grower of farm food
products, has overlooked the pref
erences and tastes of his custom
ers. The consumption Of pota-
toes can be largely stimulated by
raising those that are delicious

a PLEASANT EVENT

On Monday, Dec. 4, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Dahl
quist, a very happy event was,
celebrated. 1t was the tenth wed
ding anniversary of this young
couple. At eleven o'clock the,
guests arrived, and at twelve they
seated themselves at the table
where an elaborate six course
dinner was served which lasted
two hours. The table was very
tastefully arranged, and the beau
tiful centerpiece was pyramid
of fruit and the very center Of
which was American Beauty
roses.
In front of tle bride anG
groom We're placed the wedding
cakes decorated with ten lighted
candles which were set in pink
rosebud holders.
The invited guests were: Mrs
Dahlquist, father, II. M. Putnana
and three sons, Fred and wife,
Alonzo and Hiram Putnam, and
daughter, Mrs. Bertha Dahlquist.
Mr.. and Mrs. p. A. Putnam and
son, Charles, and daughter, Mrs
Bessie Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Putnam, Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Dahl
quist, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Dahl
quist and Mrs. Moody.
After dinner several sociaE'
hours were spent, when all left
for their homes by auto, wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Dahlquist many re-
turns of the happy occasion,
which we predict will come true,
as they are both healthy young
people, and as happy as they
were on their first wedding day.

BlokFoRD WILL tiny
10 arr REhEARlNo

/ Attorneys for G. L. Bickford
former state treasurer, will move
for a rehearing in the case this
week. Last Friday the supreme
court in the majority opinion of
judges affirmed the decisions of
the district court which found
Bickford guilty Of embezzlement.
According to this decision Bick-
ford must serve an indeterminate
term in the 2enitentiary of from
1 to 3 years. A stay of sentence
for Is days was allowed the form
er official, however, in which to
apply for rehearing. The ap-
peal will mark the last battle Of
Bickford's fight to save himself
from prison. His attorneys de-
clare they will base their appli-
cation for the rehearing on the
conclusions stated in the dissent
ing opinions OF Judge Fisk, whose
views were agreed in by Justice
Spalding. Among the salient
points in this dissenting opinion
Of which the attorneys expect to
make much in their application
are the conclusions that the
jury, by its verdict, in legal effect
acquitted him of the crime as
charged in the information, and
attempted to find him guilty of
another and distinct offense."
Judge Fisk, in dissenting, calls
attention to the fact that the in
formation charged Bickford of be
ing guilty of embezzling $50, 1885,
II, for which sum the defendant
held certificates of deposit issued
by the Bowbells State bank. The
jury only found him guilty of
$54.65, which was an interest
check he had demanded from a
Flaxton bank, and the dissenting
opinion claims that amount was
not included in the information.

TEN YEARs IN PEN
FOR a girl OF 13

Prlnce Albert Sask., Dec. g.
Thirteen year old Kathleen Sim
mon vas sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary by Judge
Brown here Saturday for the mur
der of Julia Jennings, eight years
old, at Wakaw, Sask., on June 81.
Indignation is freely expressed
here in all circles. For many per
sonsfliad attended the trial of the
child, had heard her simple,
truthf;,l story of the crime-a
story told in anguish, wetting the
eyes Of Eynn as we'll as Of women
who wye among the auditors.
The girl did not premeditate
the crime, she said, as the details
were drawn from her by counsel.
A loss Of temper, that was all
when her anger was aroused by
her companion, who annoyed her
by striking her with the body Of a
dead prairie chicken. Kathleen
had slapped the younger child.
who fell to the ground, but arose
defiant, refusing to cease her
teasing.
Finally the older girl, exasper-
ated beyond control of herself,
seized a spade they were using in
their work of gathering medicin-
al plants, and struck her playmate
in the head, telling her. After
ward, crazed with rage, Kathleen
strreh the senseless form again
and again, until no sign of life
appeRfed. Waking, then, to a real
ization Of her deed, but only a
child's grasp of its horror, she
fed to her home.
Kathleen was found guilty of
murder a week ag.,. The judge
said he had reached his decisio',
after considering the child's case
for days.
In passing sentence, Judge
Brown spoke of the revolving ma
ture of the crime. He said he had
thought first of committing thu,
girl to the reformatory, but af-
ter careful consideration, he con-
cluded that il would be undesir-
abb end sjnadyisable to have hel
among other young girls. .Ht
therefore sentenced her to ter
years in the local penitentiary
and declared she would require
close watching and attention.

Lawrenceville School. by virtue of
her splendid record, has been ac-
knowledged to be the State scholastic
football champion. In defeating Ped
die Institute by score of 10 to z, the
Hickey School disposed of her fore
most rival, a distinction which she
bears alone.
Lawrenceville won all her scholastic
games. but, whereas last season her
team won its games by small scores,
this year the eleven had an offense
which ran up large scores. The team
did not rely upon any one forma-
ton. but had versatile and varied
attack. The only defeat of the sea-
son was the first game against the
Princeton freshmen. Lawrenceville
outplayed her opponents, but a fiuke
kick when Young, the kicking quar-
terback, was out of the game, gave
Princeton a chance to score The
other two touchdowns registered
against the School team were made
on intercepted forward passes. Pen
nington was defeated, 1876; Bar
ringer High, 200; Tome, $40; Peddie,
1871, and Mercersburg, 29-10.
OF these games, as the score indi-
Gates. that with Peddie was the
hardest. In the first half, though
managing to lead with the score of
81, Lawrenceville was outplayed
However, In the second half. Law
renceville came back with VEN
geance, and IL full time quarters had
been played would undoubtedly have
scored another touchdown. The first
half of the Mercersburg game closed
with a score of 1913 against Law
renceville. On the second half, how
ever. the Red and Blacks attack
simply swept Mercersburg off her
feet. Lawrenceville's team was light
1t was outweighed by both Peddie
and Mercersburg, but 1t made up in
speed and condition what it lacked ir
weight. Mr.. Prentiss, the former ath.
letic director at Newark Academy
| displayed marvellous ability In keep
ing the boys In the pink of condi-
ton.
Shenk, the light-haired halfbacl1,
was the star in offense. while Young s
generalship put him in a class by
himself among the scholastic quar-
ters of the Middle States. Kauff-
mann. at tackle, played the finest
game on the line seen on a Lawrence
vile gridiron In a number of years,
while Max Houghton, the former
Newark Academy star, at end; Funk,
at guard, and Holden, at centre, ex-
celled.

Sign Agreement.
PADDY HEHIR vANISHES

The bike riders who were not able
to secure engagements in Europe for
this winter are not prone to remain
idle. About twenty professionals who
were apparently forced to be shelved
until the opening of the Velodrome
next April, are busy today drawing
up an agreement between themselves
to ride in a number of limited hour
six-day races. If twenty riders,
enough to make up ten teams, sign
the agreement John M. Chapman has
agreed to manage the races.
At o'clock this afternoon the rid
ers will meet Chapman, and IL the
requisite number of riders have been
signed, he will leave at once for To-
ronto and Buffalo to secure dates and
complete arrangements for races in
those cities. Mr.. Chapman has tele-
graphed to Kansas City for dates
there.
The riders who will probably COM
pete in these races, If the. proposed
circuit materializes, are Reggie Nc

Trotting Solons Recommend
Giving Fines to Needy Drivers

CHICAGO. Dec 1s.--The rules COM
mittee of the National and American
Trotting associations agreed yester-
day to recommend to each associa-
ton for adoption rule providing
that all fines and penalties shall here
after be given to injured and needy
drivers instead of being turned into

Citations. This scheme was suggested
at a meeting of representatives of
the American Association held In Chi
cago last week.
The rules committee also concurred
in the following recommendations to
be submitted to their respective or
ganlzations:
That horse must win one race be-
fore being advanced into q higher
class.
That horse may take q record in
heat; in other words, horse with
2:25 record may make record for
2:10 in q one-mile heat and not be
taken out of the 2:25 class.

East Orange Quintet Suffers
Defeat by Dickinson Five

East Orange High School suffered
It's first basketball defeat of the
season yesterday afternoon, when
Dickinson High School, of Jersey
City, nosed the suburbanites out by
a score of % to 81 in game played
on the Jersey City court. The Red
and Blue forwards were unable to get
away from the Dickinson guards, and
as result they did not score field
goal throughout the contest. The
game was fast and rough, foul penal
izations being frequent.
Connolly, OF the Dickinson five,
was the principal figure in the East
Orangeites downfall. He Gagged the
leather four times in the final period,
all of the shots bordering on the sem
sationai, and Just before the close Of
the game he tailed the winning point
on a free throw. Fischer, Barnes and
Meeteer scored the East Orange field
goals, while Brentano accounted for
9 goals from foul.
