HACHIE.
Game Promises To he One of Best
Seen on the Local Gri,,iron
Since the Teams arc Well
Matched.

The Fort Worth Central High
school will play the waxahach;e
highs here on Saturday Afternoon
This announcement made here and
at Fort Worth has occasioned quite
a lot of interest in high school foot
ball circles because Waxahachie
patrons are anxious to know II Fort
Worth can turn out tear that
will play clean gaue. The expert
ence with the North Side quit
tiers" failed TO demonstrate this
fact and subsequent interviews APP
pearing in the Fort Worth papers
demonstrated the unfairness of both
the coach and newspapers OF that
city. Persistent effort has been
made TO give the Waxahachie team
and patrons an unsayory Teputa-
ton, but coming from the source it
does, few, if any, people at large
will give it thought. The wild
cat aggregation from the North
Side is experiencing difficulty in
matching games with reputable
schools and patrons Of the great
college sport seldom search the
columns of Fort Worth papers for
news of the games, so let 'en rave
unnoticed The Waxahachie high
school promptly severed relations
with North Fort Worth when FLAIR
ing headlines over an interview
from Coach Meyers were given in
an effort TO prejudice high school
coaches against the WaxaEachie
team, and all efforts to renew these
relations have been refused by the
management of the school and the
football coach. Next years schedule
will not include game with North
Fort Worth
That the sting of defeat rankles
in the breast of the Star-Telegram
sport writer is evidenced in the fol-
lowing conclusion of d story about

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS
FLOODED BY MINNESOTA

White Rock, S.. D., Dec. 24.--Resident
OF this section are looking forward
with interest to meeting, to be held
at Paramount, N. d., in the near future,
at which 1t is expected final action will
be taken toward instituting $1,000
900 damage suit against the state OF
Minnesota. tfE
The damage suit will be instituted
by farmers OF northeastern South Da-
kota, southeastern North Dakota and
adjoining counties in Minnesota, near
here, who suffered severe loss to their
crops this year because of the flooding
of state bitches running into Lake
Traverse on the Minnesota side Of tho
line.
A recent meeting of a committee
was appointed to make a list OF all
claimants and the amounts of their
claims, and this committee Is expected
20 make a report at the meeting to be
held at Paramount 1t is understood
that the committee now has its work
about completed.
Those interested in the contemplated
$1,000, 900 damage suit declare that not
only has there been an enormous crop
damage sustained during the past year
from the flooding of these state bitches
but that thousands of acres of valu-
able farm land practically has been
confiscated.

GEDDES AGAIN SEEKS
COUNTY SEAT HONORS
CHARLES MIX COUNTY
Many Previous Efforts Made to
Dethrone Wheeler, Not on
Railroad Line.

Geddes. s. D.. Dec. 29.-Charles Mix
county is due for another big county
seat fight, as the citizens OF Geddes
have determined to make another
heroic struggle to land the coveted
honor. The decision to launch another
county seat fight was made at large
ly attended mass meeting here.
The county seat of Charles MIX
county Is located at Wheeler, which is
not a railroad town. For many years
the railroad towns in the county have
sought to wrest the plum from wheel
err, but the law requires any town TO
secure a majority vote in order to
move a county seat. With Geddes,
Lake Andes, Platte and Wagner all
lspirants in each election, no town
mas been able TO secure a majority and
the county seat has remained at
Wheeler.
II is possible, though hardly prob
able. that compromise of some kind
nay be effected in the coming election
which will keep some of the other ran
road towns out of the contest and give
Geddes a chance to win.

SOME TALK OF EXTRA
SESSION TO ARRANGE
AN EARLIER PRIMARY
Proposal Has Come to Governor
From Several sourcesIt Is
Under Consideration.

Pierre, s. D., Dec. 24.--There is .
strong probability that an extra ses-
sion of the state legislature may be
held next month for the purpose OF
fixing an earlier primary date, thus
doing away with the necessity OF Q
special primary to select delegates to
the republican national convention. IL
is clSimed that the extra session, II
held to making thio one adjustment.
would cost only e.0out one-third as
much as the special primary.
Governor Byrne may take the Ques-
ton up with the members of the legis-
lature soon after the holidays for the
purpose OF securing an expression from
them. He would not be disposed to
call the session unless the members
pledge themselves to adjust the pri-
mary date anc adjourn without at
tempting to transact other business.
On account OF the busy season on
the farm extending all through April
and well up to the first of June, It IL
probable the legislature will be OPP
posed TO moving the regular primary
date ahead more than one week.
changing from the first Tuesday In
June to the last Tuesday In May. The
primary date question was under dis,
cussion last spring, when the present
measure was adopted. At that time
Governor Byrne urged a date in May
and II this suggestion had been fol-
lowed the present complications would
have been avoided.
