Basket Ball

The girls OF the Lennon High
School journeyed to Hettingsr on
last Friday TO meet the girls OF the
Hettinger High School in their
first game OF the season with each

what bad, so not many Lennon
ties who had planned on making
the trip felt like braying the ele-
ments, when the time came.
The game was close one and
resulted in a victory for the Lem
mon girls by a score OF 8 to s. all
the points being made by Margar-
ct Nesbitt, who threw 3 baskets
out OF Q attempts, all OF the Lem
mon score resulting from Hettinger
fouls. The girls were we'll treat
ed while in Hettinger and are

The South Dakota
Press Association

The following is clipped from
the Aberdeen News and explains
why the South Dakota Press AS
sociation is so popular with the
newspaper men OF the state, and
ought to include in its member
ship, every publisher within the
state.
An interesting and as well Il
pleasing thing about the South
Dakota Press Association, chara-
cterlstic, the News believes, of
very few states. because very few
states are situated as is South
Dakota. with no large cities
though, of course, Aberdeen is a
future big clty-is the fact that
the members of the association
are all on pretty much the same
footing. Ihere Is no coterie OF
big afternoon newspaper publishers
another coterie of big morning
newspaper publishers, then the
little dailies, and then the weekly
newspaper publishers, In South
Dakota press circles, everyone is
just as good, or little bette-, thar
everybody else. In the Aberdeen
meetings everybody has talked
shop on an equal footing, because
the problems that confront the
daily newspaper publisher in
towns no larger than Sioux Falls,
and Aberdeen, are now. confront
the newspaper publishers of every
town big enough to have paper
in the state.

Farmers Cooperative
Creamery for Chance

In speaking about a Farmer
Cooperative creamery for Chance,
The Record of Chance, ad-
vances the following reasons why
it should prove a success and
should be located at Chance:
Speaking of the proper location
for a creamery the nearest markets
for cream are as follows: Seim, 28
miles northeast, Strool, 80 miles
west, Faith, SO miles southeast,
Isabel, 80 miles east. A creamery
could not be located at any other
good place without being closer to
an established market for cream
which means less territory and less
chance for success, here are more
reasons why this is the better place
for a creamery, the creamery can be
built close to the ice pond and the
ice can be slid up shute from the
creek right in the ice house, which
@ill mean cheap ice, an abundance
OF clean, pure, cold water excep-
tonally good for creamery use, can
be had at a depth of 10 or II feet,
coal can be bought at a mine about
three miles from here at a very
reasonable price, the short haul
means cheap tuel, in fact it would
be impossible to select a more de-
Srable location for the Farmer
Cooperative Creamery.

Mr.. Crary found that the weight
of one of his cows exceeded the
weight of her milk by just ten
pounds for the month. The COW
weighed just o7o pounds and her
milk weighed goo pounds. Her
milk will test four and one.half
per cent. Thus making a record
of forty-three and one tenth pounds
of butter in one month. The COW
was fed on prairie hay and four
pounds shorts a day. This COW is

IIETTINGER

The first game OF the Lennon
High School boys team and the
Hettinger High School boys was
played last Saturday evening at
the Armory and Hettinger won
with the score standing 23 to n.
The game was very fast and
rather free from fouls, thongh il
was the impre ssion OF some that
Smith of Hettinger was unusually
rough and fouled more than was
necessary. We are inclined to
think that those who criticl zed
Smith are mistaken IN this. from
the fact that he IS a much taller
and more active player than the
balance of either team, and being
exceptionally fast it must follow
that the smaller and slower players
are at times apparently receiving
some rough handling. This would
not be noticed it the opposing team
were his equal in size and speed.
For example, Phil Callahan is
the equal if not the superior OF
Smith in everything that pertains
to the game, except in size and in
all the mixups Saturday evening
Phil came out with flying colors,
all because he possesses the speed
and the knowledge to use it.
Harold kimball presided over
the game Saturday evening and
his work taken as a whole, was
very good. At one point in the
game some over-enthusiastIc Lem
mon fans made a roar and even
swarmed around kmball on the
floor. expostulating with him over
decision he had rendered, No
matter whether he was right or
wrong, it was entirely out OF order
for the fans to make demonstra-
ton of this kind and for the good
OF the game in the future, we trust
that our boys, at least, will accept
with good grace, the decision of
umpire, tho it may go against us.

Hot Contest Over
County Seat
Stanley County Apt to Lose
Sight of State Campaign Be-
cause of Home Scrap

Pierre, Feb. o.-The contest in
the supreme court, in which Fair
fax, the present county seat of
Gregory county, seeks to avoid a
fight with any other town in the
county tot county seat honors, was
before the supreme court Saturday.
Burke and Herrick ask that an
elimination vote be taken at the
March primary, under the provi-
sions of chapter II2 laws of 1911,
which seeks to stop long drawn out
county seat contests by elimination
of candidates which are only put
in the field in such contests to pre-
vent any one town getting a ma jor-
ity vote, by multiplicity OF candi-
dates, and are asking for an order
compelling the county commission
ers and county auditor to place
their names upon the March ballot.
The Fairfax contention is that
chapter II2, laws of 1911, is in
violation of the provisions of sec.
ton of article 9 of the constitu.
tion which prohibits contests for
removal of county seats once per-
manently located, oftener than
once in four years. That Fairfax
in 1898 received a majority vote
for county seat in a contest with
Dallas, ard that any contest mus,
be based on that fact. In 1908,
Just prior to the first contest, the
supreme court held that as the ma.
jority vote received by Fairfax was
at a special instead of general ell.
fection, there was never a perma.
nent location under the provisions
of the constitution, and that the
permanent vote is yet to be taken.
The Fairfax contestants ask that
the court reverse itself on this rul.
ing, which they do not believe tc
be a correct one. In this case, il
the vote in 1898 is held to have
been for a permanent location, il
would require a two thirds vote fol
removal instead of mere majority.

Third-Miners must be residents of

ACCUSED STRIKER GETS FREEDOM
Acquitted by Jury at Boulder of Having
Been Implicated in Murder.

After only IS minutes deliberation.
Constant J. Darras. who was accused
of having murdered Noah Bceghley at
Superior during the strike troubles
last January, was acquitted by jury
in the district court at Boulder. The
case was in many respects one of the
most sensational ever tried in Boulder
country.
1t was the first trial TO take place
involving strike issues since the fa-
nous battle at the Hocla mine last
winter Because OF the influence which
its outcome was expected to have on
the cases vet to he tried it was bit
tcrly contested. and was marked
throughout by frequent clashes between
the attorneys.
A result of the trial will be the dis

the union demands or submit the mat
ter to arbitration.
"Strikebrcakcrs have been leaving the
mines constantly since the strike com.
menccd," declared Hayes, "and it may
not become necessary for the organiza-
ton TO specify any particular day for
general exodus. At no time have the
mines been without representatives of
the United Mine Workers, and at no
time have these representatives been
inactive"
The employment agencies of the state
have been notified by the state labor
department that any violation of the
rule, recently promulgated by the war
department, that "mincrs must seek
work" at the coal mines in the strike
district, will be prosecuted.
The rule prohibits the sending of
men by the agencies to the mines.
Violation Of the rule will be regarded
by the department as false representa-
tion under the state law.
