GUARANTEE DEPOSITS
A Bill Proposed to Guarantee all Bank
Deposits in the State of South
Dakota.

Pierre: While South Dakota bankers
as whole, are rather hostile to the idea
of a bank guaranty act the members oi
this profession realize that such legisla-
ton is strong possibility for the next
legislative session. For that reason a
committee was appointed at the last
meeting of the state association to make
an extensive study of the subject and
labor to secure a measure that will sat
isfy the bankers. During the last legis-
lative session there were 80 many bank
ers in the state senate that all guarantee
measures had hard shedding in that
body. The banker members at that time
were willing to support measure in
which the guarantee fund was establish
ed by general state taxation, but the
idea was given cold shoulder by the
non-banker legislators.
The special committee appointed by
the Bankers association met here Sat-
urday July 25, and prepared rough
draft of the bill which the bankers ex-
pect to support before the legislature,
but details of their bill was not given
out. This special committee is compos.
ed of B. A. Cummins, of Pierre, Il. E.
Cone of Huron, F. T. Kiddo of Sioux
Falls, ]. L. Pratt, of Clark, and John f.
Whitlock of Gettysburg.
A guarantee bill initiated by the dem
ocratic state central committee was filed
with the secretary of state after the
close of the legislative session. This
initiated measure will come before the
1915 legislative session and will 60 be-

ALSAcE REMAINS GERMAN.

While German newspapers have

concerning the attitude of the Asa

the Alsacians have become of sud

the European war have done.
The Alsacian serving in the Ger

the spilling of blood came a fraternal
feeling, best expressed, perhaps, in
the saying: Our troops fought at

BRITISH CHANGE NAME.

London, Sept. 26 by MaiD.-A Ger
man or German sounding name tends
to make its possessor so unpopular
both in a business and a social way in
London that there has been a rush of
British-born and naturalized German
citizens in ENGLAND to the courts for
new names. Some of the changes on
the court records are: Schloss to
Castle; Schwartz to Black; Klussman
to Maclaren; Rosenthal to Rodeny;
Howitz to Howard; Koenig to Kings
ley, Dunkelbuhler to Duncan; Schar-
lieb to Shirley; Weischenck to
Wynne; Kuss to Cuss; Brueggemey to
Bridges, and Stohwasser to Stowe.
But the most tactful shift was by
the man who traded Kaiser for King.

ROGUE PLAYS DOUBLE TRICK.

London, Oct. 2 (By Mail--A rogue
with a sense of humor has played a
double trick on a military officer and
on the landlord of a workingmens
hostel at Sheffield, which has made
both men the laughing stock of York
shire.
The officer in command at the Shelf
field barracks received one day re-
Gently an invitation by telephone to
billet 300 recruits at a new working
mems hostel owned by a prominent
citizen. The officer was, of course, &C
cepted. The manager of the hostel
was then called up by the same voice
and ordered to prepare quarters as
wellas supper for 300 recruits under
His Majesty's transport officer Ridley.
The men arrived and so did the mystic
rious Transport Officer Ridley" who
thereupon chose one recruit to shave
him, another to clean his boots while
a third was placed as sentry at the
door with orders to keep quiet in the
hall while the commander slept. Rid
ley next order was to post this no
tice:
This is military institution, and
the men are under the authority of

Transport Officer Ridley remained
several days in unquestioned COM
mand, when he became ill. AS ne
refused to have a doctor, the manager
of the hostel telephoned to the bar
racks. A real officer appeared, and to
enlighten him, Ridley produced a note
purporting to bear a captains sigma
ture. The officer left for further inves-
ti2ation, whereupon Ridley left the
hostel and disappeared.
