The hasty marriage Of Mrs.
Knuppe was explained by George
Yeaman, her attorney. Mrs. Knuppe
and her three small children had
been slated for deportation by a fed

tation was recommended on the
ground that the woman was desti-

Upon hearing OF the woman's
threatened deportation, Attorney
Yeaman hurried 10 Washington in an
effort to block her forced removal

Pierre, Jan. IA bill is shortly
10 be introduced into the South Da-
kota legislature for a system of state
for township option. the question n

TO a vote. When a sufficient number
of townships have voted approval the
Law goes into force. In such town

ing as much as twenty-five acres IN

cents per acre of cultivated land
The maximum indemnity is IS per
acre. Amy farmer not wishing 10

ing a notice TO that effect. Assess
ments may be lower than the 4 cents

Farmers mutual men are Directing
to the bill saying that they have built
up prosperous companies in many
counties that are giving the farmers
the cheapest possible hail protection.
and they do not see any necessity for
taking the business away from these
mutual concerns and turning II over
TO the state.
1t is claimed that complications
may also result in the case of rented
land as the owner will be responsible

on the land. although he may have
only a third interest in the crops.

SENATOR URDAHL
TELLS AN INTERESTING STORY
OF ONE OF HIS con-
S~TITUENTS.

Pierre, Jan. 11.-Personal interest
plays a large part in legislation and
as in the times that inspired the old
fable, ii makes a difference whose OK
Is being gored. This is illustrated
by a story told by Hans Urdahl, sen
ator from Lake county.
Just before / started to Pierre
for the legislative session two years
ago." said Senator Urdahl, "a farm
er constituent came to me to com
plain about the automobiles. The
farmer declared the cars went by his
place at a dangerous rate of speed.
They killed his chickens and young
pigs and it was necessary to watch
the children to see that in their play
they did not stray out into the pub
lie highway. The farmer besought
me to vote for a good stiff automo-
bile license, saying that was the only
way the owners of ears could be
made to make some return for the
damage they did. He was also of the
opinion that automobiles damaged
the roadways.
This year just before / left home,
a man stopped me in the street and
complained that the automobile Ii
cense together with the local taxes
On the cars made too great a burden
On owners of machines and he wish
ed / could do something to reduce
the license. 1t was my farmer friend
of two years before. Soon he was
proudly telling me the good points
of his machine which he had pur-
chased in the interval"
In this connection it is noted thai
since South Dakota became one c.
the largest users of automobiles in
proportion to population, there has
been a marked change of sentiment
in both urban and rural population
and the good roads cause is receiv-
ing a great incentive. There is some
talk of a license system based on the
Iowa plan where cars are graded ac-
cording to horsepower and the cost
of licenses runs from 50 to upwards
Of $50. The cars are not assessed
for taxation. The license money /:
all paid into the state and is distrib.
uted back to counties for use in road
work. If something like this is MOI
adopted in South Dakota there viii
be an effort at least to have the cos
of licenses graded according to horse
power so that the poor mans car will
not be taxed as much as the big ma
chine of the well-to-do.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 11--Appointed

STATE BASKET BALL


Vermillion, Jan. 11.-Basket bal
has become a sure enough major
sport in South Dakota this year with
the recent advent of State college in.
to the intercollegiate field. South
Dakota. State. Yankton, Wesleyan
Huron. Northern Normal, Redfeld
Sioux Falls college and Madison Nor
NAL will all be i'm the field and will
generally meet each other two times
These games of themselves will con
stitute a fine schedule. The cham
pionship will only be won af.eI
many hard battles. But compare.
lively little preliminary work has
been done TO date-the interclass
tournaments at South Dakota and
Huron is about all that is reported.
The Christmas vacation, too, has cut
a couple of weeks out of preparation.
so il is unlikely that serious games
will be attempted before the last
week in January. but from then on
to the middle of March they will
come thick and fast.
South Dakota, as the only repre-
sentative of the university class,
should hold its own comparatively
easily. as there is a fine gym, an
abundance of good material and an
unusually large schedule. Crane,
Gandolfo, Ferguson, Quimby. Vidal,
Mccormick and Potts are all strong
men. Ferguson says. however, that
he has had enough of athletics and
will not be out.
Just what State is capable of is
problematical. There are no men in
school of intercollegiate experience.
The last two teams attempted were
weak. Last years intercollegiate
contests were reported to have de-
veloped many classy players. Shee-
han and Kornder of Coach Ewing's
all class team are still in school.
There r many good athletes In
other branches of sport in school and
a fast bunch is to be expected.
Yankton may and may not have a
good team. Olson, Stevenson, Dan
ford, Fenenga and Capt. Hetland OF
former college class championship
punches are out, together with a
strong scrub. The difficulty in the
way of success is the fact that there
appears to be no coach at present,
and the temporary use of the gym
for a dining hall prevents practice on
the home floor. They will use ar old
store room down town for practice.
Wesleyan is another question. No
intercollegiate ball has been played
since 1910, and there are conse-
quently no veterans. There Is said
to be fine material, including Chase
and Hine of football fame. They are
hampered by the necessity Of using
the Mitchell high gym. some distance
from Dakota university, for practice
and play.
Huron supporters say that their
aggregation is to be yer stronger
than their college class championship
team of 1912. Roy 'rredway. who
has handled football the past two
seasons, will coach. Wick, School
