Bismarck Defeated

One of the fastest games of basket
ball played here this season was pulled
off at the armory last Friday nigh, when
the Bismarck high school Quint were
defeated by the local high school team
by a score of 48 to "a. 1t was a game
full of life and basketball knowledge
from start to finish and the members of
both teams played a clean. snappy
game. Bismarck played a good pass
ing game but were excelled by our boys
in handy basket shooting and swiftness
on the field. The local team were de-
feated at Bismarck on fouls a few weeks
ago. but the game--Friday vas practical
ly free from errors. Our team was COM
posed of the regular members. all of
whom played we'll.
Concerning the game the Bismarck
Tribune said:
THE basketball boys team of the
high school, who went to Dickinson for
Friday evening. returned yesterday
morning and say they had a very en-
joyable time, despite the fact that
they were beaten by the Dickinson
team in a score resulting in "a to 4S.
They were met at the train and escorted
to the St. Charles hotel. where a SPLEEN
did dinner was awaiting them and the
Bismarck team feel that the Dickinson
boys extended them splendid hospitality.

make VACCINATION
COMPULSORY IN the D.. S.
Richardton, January l8, 19.

Richardton, January l8, 1918.
Editor PRESS:
Some time ago you published an ar
ticle that vaccination against small
pox was compulsory in North Dakota
and that the law is not we'll enforced.
If tine present law were enforced it sure
would prove to be a great protection to
the people, if a small pox epidsmic
should spread I've our state. But it
would also turn out as a heavy burden
IN a great many people with large
families.
Why don't the citizens of Dickinson
and Stark county petition the members
of Congress to have a law passed to the
effect that vaccination against small
pox be compulsory all over the United
States, and give the government the
authority to enforce this law? Have
all the children at the age of two and
three years and under twelve years vac
cinated. Further, have the government
furnish vaccine, pay the doctor and
bear all necessary expenses of said vac
cination. Maybe some people would
be against such a law, but it has proved
to be a great protection in other coun-
tries for over fifty years. Why can't
We have a similar law in the United
States?
Respectfully.
Carl Hamann.

HOW COMM Issl0NERs
SETTLED THE QUESTION

Editor G. w. Clemens of the Medora
Herald, who vas q candidate for
treasurer of Billings county. had an
editorial last week written in his usual
witty style and which probably con-
tains more truth than fiction. However,
Mr.. Clemens don't seem much disap-
pointed over the fact that Billings
county did not make him one of her
officials:
I'VE have had a very enjoyable time
in Medora since election. The COM
missioners we're convened to fill the va
cancy in their board occasioned by the
disability of Mr.. Sioddard to act, and
to fill such other Offices as were vacant
as a result OF our county vivisection.
The treasur er's Office was still vacant,
and interest in the probable successor
was high there were some fourteen of
US who were willing to sacrifice our
time and talents to the cause and SER
vice of the dear people. and yield our
selves as an Offering on the altar of
public service so long as the monthly
pay check should be forth coming in
certainty and munificence. AS soon
as the commissioners were on the
station platform from the train we
began making love to them. We WOO
ed them with gentle art, and beguiled
them with tender solicitude of their
wives and babies well-being. We dis
cussed with them the husbandry of their
farms which we hate. and the care of
COW. which we dispise; our voices we
modulated to a honey sweetness, our
siren song caressing them to what we
fondly hoped vas IN insensibility of
their surroundings. we We'd with one
another with smiling face and gentle
repartee. On. we had a dandy time,
all right! And we are sure that the
commissioners appreciated our efforts.
and enjoyed the knowledge of the cause
of our affection. tacitly thanking US for
our efforts at showing them a good
time. They are most excellent men.
those commissioners, and would not for
the worlds wealth wound one, nor hurt
the tender sensibilites of the predatory
Office seeker as an appointment of one
of the fourteen would leave thirteen
leathern hearts bleeding and trampled
in the dust they proceeded with COM
mendable circumspection to give the
treasurership to n of their own num-
Der, Mr.. Tester: by this Solomonic
action d%issention and criticism was
averted, and harmony prevailed in he
petitioners camp. The effect was no

and their stock, farms, wives. and all
goods. chattels and ~hereditaments were
as those of other men, and needed no
further attention MOI erudite discussion.
The love season waned, and is now

COMPANY K WON GAME
FROM jamestown TEAM

Undoubtedly the best basketball game
of the season a played at the armory
on Wednesday evening when Company
X met and defeated the fast team of
jamestown by the close score of 20 to
10. There was q good attendance and
the crowd was an enthusiastic one, ex
citement running high from start to fin
ish.
The game started with a snap and
jamestown led off with two goals in
the first few minutes. The guard work
on both sides was so perfect that basket
shooting seemed impossible. however
Dickinson was able to pull away from
their opponents enough to make seven
goals in the first half against three and
a free throw for jamestown. Game.
their man at center, made the two first
goals from long distance shots and was
the star player for the visitors.
Fred Hall played a hard game all the
time and landed four of the first seven
goals by fast aggressive plays. Jack
Hall was no: in form, suffering from
! the effects of a bad cold and the first
half told on him but no changes were
made in either team for the last half.
At the end of the first half the score
was IA to 7 in favor of Dickinson.
For the first few minutes of the
second half neither side scored but
jamestown again landed two long shots,
making the score uncomfortably close.
Then Baird tossed one in from deep
center and Robinson made good on a
free throw. Hunt made a goal from the
field and jamestown brought their score
up to 16 by field goals and free throws.
Dickinson was failing to score on free
throws and as the score stood 16 to 10
the crowd was getting anxious. Dickin.
son took another free throw and James.
town another field goal when the final
whistle sounded, leaving the score 10 tc
20.
Company H of jamestown is one Of
the fastest teams in the state and ir
fact claims championship of the eastern
part, and Dickinson at their best woulc
have their hands full. The visitors ex.
hibited good skill in guarding and theil
team work was about perfect but they
depended on two of their men for the
basket making. Co. X was not in bes
trim Wednesday as they have not been
practicing enough lately and with one
man about sick the others had to worl
like tigers.

OUR BANK DEPOSITS IN
CREASE Fifteen MILLIONS

There is approximately fifteen and a
half million dollars more in individual
deposits in the banks of North Dakota
at the present time than there was a
year ago. This is the information con-
tanned in the statement of the bank
examiner just received. At the time
of the 1911 call sos. 352. 1853 wal the sum
in our banks. That amount has been
increased to $83, 899. OBS. 38. according
to the statement just issued.
In 1911 there were 147 national banks
and 572 state banks reported. while in
1912 there were 145 national banks and
900 state banks, the decrease in national
banks being brought about by CONSOLE
dation.
In the national banks the deposits are
divided as follows:
Subject to check. ST., 1853. III. So
Demand certificate. 49,. 1922, 178. 90
lime ........ Il. 135. 667. IS
The state banks reported the deposits
in the following manner:

Demand certificate. 49,. 956, 1851
Time. certificate ....... III, 1874, $50. 10
Savings deposits. ...... 1.471. 121.0 OF
The increase in the year in the bank
deposits is indicative of the fine bust
ness conditions prevailing in the state
during the past year. The individual
reports of the bank to the state depart
ment show that the advance in deposits
has been uniform in practically every
locality in the state.
