New Lands for Assessment.

the state. the new acreage which will
the first time this year will be S36, 900
acres, with an increase OF 1,022, sos
acres for 1913 over 1912. The prob
abilities are that the new acreage
which will be added from final proofs
will be on the decline from this time
on, as none OF the Indian reservations
which yet remain to be Opened to
settlement" will have any great
amount Of land for the settlers after
the Indians and the state take their
allowances out Of the reserves. BY

Free Tax Distribution.
Pierre.-The total fire tai which
will be distributed among the different
fire companies of the state, through
the fund of PA per cent of the fire
insurance premiums received by the
foreign fire companies doing business
in this state, will this year amount
to $27,59S, which will go to the COM

Aberdeen, 1874: Lead, 1926; Pierre,
1896; Rapid CITY, 500; Watertown,

These payments are based on the

Kaiser's Troops Now Within
Fifty Miles Of Calais.

London, NOV. 13.-RuSSlan success
es In the East, which for a time were
predominant features of the war news,
again divide attention with the sto-
ries of rekindled activities on the part
of the Germans in West Flanders,
where the forces of Emperor William
have disproved the contention of the
allies that the attempts to force their
way to Dunkirk or Calais had finally
failed.
With Dixmude In their possession
the invaders are less than fifty miles
from Calais and much nearer Dunkirk
and the fight they have been waging
in the face of tremendous losses seems
to bear out what also has been said
that they will not abandon this strug
gle TO reach the coast unless they are
utterly crushed.
The English and French theory is
that the holding of Dixmude is only
temporary and that it's history will be
much the same as that of other towns
which have been taken and retaken in
the fighting on the River User.
Germans Near Coast Line.
In certain places north of Dixmude
the Germans are on the left bank of

coast towns, and their attacks, in

bee renewed almost on the coast line.
Here they drove the allies from Lom-

The Greatest Gift.

Christmas stands for one thing-our
Fathers wondrous love to US, his
erring and unworthy children, in send
ing his only begotten Son into this
world to die for our sins and to rise
from sin and selfishness.
Jesus Christ himself is the great
Christmas gift. The only true way to
keep Christmas is by first Of all ac-
cepting for ourselves this wondrous
gift of our Heavenly Father and then
to show our appreciation of this won
drous gift by giving ourselves and all
that we have for others.
1t is true instinct that leads us to
give to others Christmas presents, but
too often in following out this instinct
we give these Christmas gifts to the
wrong persons. We give to those who
already have too much and forget those
who have not enough.
God gave his great gift to the needy,
to those who had nothing to return for
his gift. Let US follow him. Let us
find the needy and give to them out
of our abundance. Every one who is
in comfortable circumstances should
find some family that is really in need,
some family where there will be little
Christmas brightness unless others
come to their help and give to this
family real Christmas, including
good Christmas dinner and some appro-
pirate gift to every member of the
family down to the youngest child.
