POLITICAL ADVERTISING

There is one thing we say for
Dick Richards as q candidate-he is
honest enough to be willing to pay for
what he gets. When he sends an en-
velope Of political matter to a South
Dakota editor and really cares whether
any Of 1t gets into the paper he In
closes q check large enough to insure
It's insertion. This gets 1t by all right
and leaves q warm spot for Mr.. Rich

that the game commission intends 10

ducks this spring. Their plan is to
plant wild rice seed, secured from Osh-
kosh, Wis, on ten lakes in the eastern
part of the state, so that ducks may
breed there during the spring and have
sufficient food. AS there will be no
spring shooting, this will allow the
breeding grounds to get a good start,
with the result that the supply of game
in the state will be so plentiful that
In the fall the hunters will not nave

A battle of wits that is viewed with
intense interest as waged by a sleuth

production given to the American
stage in many years, and easily the

creating a veritable sensation when
presented in New York and Chicago
last season, where the interest
aroused kept the box Office busy and
the theatres crowded during its record

Hutton of the State College, who has
just returned from the National Corn
Show at Dallas, Texas. "If this great
agricultural exposition should be held
in Minneapolis or st. Paul, its educa-
tional value to the farmers Of South

to the very doors of our farmers an
opportunity to see all of the different

Hutton states that 1t is to the interest
of every South Dakota farmer to Have

FAMOUS ENGLISH
POLITICIAN WILL
RETIRE. II

London. Dec. 1S.-tCorrespondenc of
The Associated Press). -Thomas Burt,
M. p. who rose from pit boy to privy
councillor and is now known as the
father of the House of Commons. -
has decided to leave politics because
of his Advanced age and infirmities.
He is 70 years old.
The son of a miner, Burt attended
school until 10 years old, when he got
a job in the Hazelwell colliery, Dur
ham, at wage of 10 pence, or 20
cents day. He had passion for
study and spent his spare time over
sucl, books and papers as he was able
to obtain.

home at Newcastle, eight miles dis
tant. He then became an official of the
Northumberland Miners Union.
In 1874 Burt was elected TO Parlia-
ment as a member of the Liberal par
ty and has remained a Liberal ever
since, refusing to leave for the La
Dor party. His practical common sense,

man SHOULD
Be TRAINED TO
PLAY FOOTBALL

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Keep the physically
unfit and the unframed player out of
football and the game win be free from
danger, was the opinion set forth in the
report of the committee on fatalities In
football submitted to the convention of
the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation here today.
DIR. George W. Ehler OF the University
of Wisconsin, chairman of the commit
tee, in the report said that the associa-
ton should go on record to point out
the dangers of the game that, exist for
those who are physically unfit, either be-
cause of age or weakness, and the un-
trained athlete. He urged that all candi-
dates for teams submit to a rigid med
ical and physical examination and the
strict supervision of players both in
practice and the playing of regular
games.
The Investigation by the committee the
report says, showed that the cause for
an outcry against the game as & brutal
and degrading sport cannot be maintain
ed and the sensationalism that has been
attached to 1t should cease to exist"
OF the 13 players reported to have died
during 1914 from the results of partici-
patton in football games or practice, DR..
Ehler said that only three were college
men and that only one was member of
a regular varsity team. All other deaths
reported. he said, were of boys under 20
years of age, who played on High school,
athletic club and irregular teams.

from various angles ana the general
opinion seemed to be that a new and
significant development had been pro-
jected into the international situation.
The market opened with it's accus-
toned irregularity. leading stocks
evincing heayiness, with few gains
among unimportant issues. From that
level a rally ensued, the recovery in
few instances restoring stocks 10

day the list fell back again and for
the balance Of the session no import

parison with recent sessions and such
trend as was shown came mainly from
the operations OF the short interest
