to become excited and do the wrong
thing when GOODNESS and wise action
are most needed.

Crop conditions are most favorable
in all sections tributary to Dickinson
in spite of occasional small losses
here and there from hail. The most
conservative estimate places the aver.
age wheat yield for all this country
at 20 bushels per acre. Many fields
will go very much above that figure
and of course, some below. Notwith-
standing the fact that the branch line
north, as well as the Milwaukee lire
south, has cut off large areas of form
er Dickinson territory, the lowest fig
ures place the total amount of wheat
to be marketed here this year at
nearly double the amount in any prev
ious year.

SMALLEST HIPP.
Tiny Blood7Sweating. Behometh with
Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus

Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus
Blood-sweating behomeths of Holy
Writ ice quite popular with
showmen. The tall, slender gentle
men in shiny boots, who cracked their
long whips behind the rosin-backs,
were once quite enthusiastic in their
praise of the animals, who according
to the Prophet Job, drank up a river
and tasted not.
But now that Little George is fairly
launched upon his first journey
through the United States the guar
anteed blood-sweaters are in the dis
card. For n Baby George-and
there is only one-is worth half a
gross of behemoths.
George will embark from his spec
ial car in the Carl Hagenbeck- WAL
lace combined shows train at an hour
when milkmen are ending their
rounds circus day. He will be trundl-
ed into a cage in preparation for the
days work.
George is the smallest hippopot-
anus in the world-as far as can be
learned. He is worth $4,000 with no
discount for cash.
George has been in the United
States only two weeks, but from his
joyful demeanor his trainers have
concluded that he thoroughly ap-

1t is not to work hardship or to
discriminate unreasonably that this
and other cities have an ordinance
prohibiting any person under sixteen
from driving an automobile. It is not
that the city believes that no one I'M
der that age is capable of handling a
car under ordinary circumstances. It
is rather to provide against the extra
ordinary occurrences, the sudden
emergency, that such laws are placed
on the statute books. The average
boy or girl under sixteen lacks the ex-
perience to handle a car in a
sudden crisis; his judgment is imma-
ture; his nerves not under control as
are an older person's-and he is likely

The Dickinson summer school has
very decidedly come to stay. While
this years attendance was not a sur
prise to Supt. Ward and Supt. Berg,
who knew we'll what to expect, the
state department could not believe
that so many would come in the first
year and the teaching force is not as
large as it should be for the number
enrolled. Knowing now what num-
bers the southwestern counties rolled
up the first year, Supt. Taylor will
undoubtedly have a large corps of
teachers ready next year for twice the
1915 enrolment.

Why have a law requiring that
noxious weeds be cut if it is to be
a dead letter? In many parts of the
city the fox-tail flaunts it's plumes
and many other weeds, which besides
being a blot upon the landscape and
conducive to hay fever, are spread
ing themselves like a green bay tree.
If not laid low very 500 there will
be a lot of seed to supply more weeds
for next year.

North Dakota is not a very old

that older eastern states are coming

A FRIENDLY ANSWER

London. Dec. 31-11:03 P. M.-The
British foreign office, in agreement with
the American government tonight is
sued the text of the protest Of the
United States concerning delays TO
American commerce due to search Of
vessels by the British fleet. 1t was
issued through the official press bur-
eau.
The public has regarded the note
as a diplomatic document of proba :
bly, greater Importance of any Incl
dental to the war.
The first comment on it in the news

that the note was less specific in stat
ing the American complaints than had
been expected. 1t had been generally
assumed that it contained details
of various cases on which complaints
were based.
Sir Edward Grey, the British secre-
tary and Ambassador Page had a
conference concerning it today. 1t is
understood that Great Britain will
make a reply to the note in a few
days, probably next week. 1t was said
that the matter atsissue was Of such
Importance that little could be dis
closed concerning it until the members
of the cabinet had received printed
copies of the full text of the note and
have had time to consider it care
fully. 1t is probable that a full cabi-
net meeting will be necessary to dis
cuss the note. A prominent official
said that the British government after
thorough consideration OF the noe

AMERICAN CLUB

New York, Dec. 3l.-Exactly three
posed sale of the New York American
League baseball club was whispered
around the corridors of the two uptown
hotels where the annual meetings of two
leagues We're in progress and today the
sale of the club was concluded and rati-
fed
The new owners are Col. Jacob Rup-
pert. Jr.. and Capt. Tillinghast L. Hus-
ton, both residents Of this city. Neither
would state the price PAID for the fran
ehise and players, nor would Frank Far
rell or any of the other club stockhold-
ers who were parties to the sale. Presi-
dent Ban B. Johnson of the American
League, who for the last month has been
busily engaged in the effort to dispose
of the stock to a desirable buyer, stated
late today that the deal had been closed
to the entire satisfaction of the former
club owners, the purchasers and the off,

Il am very much pleased with the price
l got for my holdings in the club. While
do not care to name the total amount
paid for the franchise and players. ev-
eryone knows the price / asked was $780,

l generally get what l want, even If
have to wait for it. 1 had my ups and
downs with the club for many years but
of pleasure from my connections with it.
| sincerely wish that Col. Rupert and
Capt. Huston will be successful and that
they will be rewarded with pennant
winning team in this city
Colonel Rupert, who is to be presi-
dent Of the club, turned all inquirers
over to Capt. Huston, who is to be Sec
retary-treasurer in the new manage
ment of the clubs affairs. The captain
said:
Il am not prepared to say how much
we paid for the Yankees, but Col. Rup-
pert is as well satisfied as l am myself
that We will be able to bring pennant
winning team of players together in this
city.
"Bill Donovan is to be our manager
and We have the greatest confidence in
his ability to get the best men who will
give the best that it is them in order to
win the American League championship.
THE deal just put through does not in
clude any players other than are now
the clubs property. We are going to
purchase players and among those We
have already signed are Pipp and High
of Detroit; Rehg. Boston; Miller. st.
Louis; and Joe Berger, Chicago.
I'm addition to these. several other
clubs in the league have promised to help
us out, and we will go into the market
for the best that money can buy.
Next year we will play throughout the
season on the Polo grounds, but we hope
that in 1916 we will have a new and COM
modious park of our own. Several sites
have been spoken of, but none of them
is included in the purchase we made to-
day"
President Johnson. who left this eve
ming for Chicago, said. II am very much
pleased with the result of our efforts in
securing Col. Rupert and Capt. Huston
as new owners of the local club. There
were many difficulties to be overcome in
arranging the details Of the sale, but ev-
erything has been arranged satisfactorily
