COMPANY n
MUSTERED OUT

The following article taken from
yesterdays Grand Forks Herald indi-
Gates that the local company Of MALTA
will soon be mustered out, much to the
disappointment of our citizens. Some
of our citizens have done much work
in hopes to bring the company up to
the required standard, but it seems
that there is some thing lacking some
where:
The Devils Lake company of the
North Dakota National Guard, Com
pany M, was last night ordered mus
tered out
Adjutant General Tharaldson, who
is in Grand Forks, issued the order to
the Devils Lake company officials by
telephone, and the formal department.
al order will be published within two
or three days
! By this order one of the Oldest
companies in the state will be dropped
from the states regiment.
The Devils Lake company officials
were notified over year ago that they
must bring the company up to high
er standard if they wished to continue
it as part of the states military or
ganization.
/ That they have failed to do this is
the theory upon which the guard off.
cials are now acting.

 Season of Great Interest.
 The outdoor track season, save for the junior cross country championship, has ended for the year 1915. It has been a year of great interest and achievement both as regards school, college and club sports, with the big climax coming in the Panama-Pacit1c championships held at San Francisco during the summer.
 It has been a year marked by con- sistent, meet-after- meet performances by the star men of the game, and because of these stars continually op- posing the strongest opposition with success the selection of the names for the honor positions is not as difficult as has been the case in the past.

 A study of the performances of the year leads to the selection of the fol- lowing men for the various events which go toward making up cham pionship programme:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PROFESSIONAL.
The Foreign Situation Was Again a
 Cause of Depression.

New York. Dec. 9.-Except for the forenoon, when the average prices of leading stocks were slightly higher, today's market was under constant fairly active in the first hour, but tapered off during the mid-session. There was some revival of activity in the final hour, altogether, however, at the expense of quoted values.
 Trading was limited largely to the
 board room, public interest being mo- ticeably lacking, presumably as a re- suit of the several adverse factors which temporarily obscured the finan- cial horizon. The foreign situation was again a cause of depression, this find ing reflection in a renewal of European selling on a moderately large scale. The hollow character of the days op- erations may be judged from the fact
 that among the most active stocks were a number of obscure mining is sues.
 Further decline in Anglo-French : per cent. notes to 95 for future deliv- cry was another unsetting influence The minimum price of this securities reported a drop of a full point under yesterdays low record and 1 1-4 under the price at which these notes were taken by a nationwide banking syn dicate. Sales of the notes for imme
 diate delivery were made at 97 1-2. Precipitate declines in motor and
 war shares were concurrent with ad-
 vices from Washington which quoted
 a prominent national legislator as fa- voring a tax on the plants of manu- lecturers of munitions. Losses in this
 group ran from 16 to 15 points, with
 only partial recovery later. Coppers made no further response to the nu-
 merous increased dividends declared
 yesterday, to which several more were
 added today, and issues like Mercantile Marine preferred and United Fruit
 were again heavy.

completed arrangements with Mitchell, who will begin work in the cage with the baseball players in February and will have charge of the team through the Yale and Princeton series next spring. The contract provides for only one years work, but Harvard also has an option on MitcheIrs services for another year at least.
 The Boston club already has re- leased Mitchell, who will assemble the candidates in about eight weeks. He will work under the direction of the Harvard baseball committee, of which pr. B. H. Nichols, 'S6, is chairman, the other members being Charming Frothingham, 'O2. and Barrett Wendell, Jr., '02.
 When Percy Haughton succeeded Frank Sexton as baseball coach at Harvard last year, it was expected
 by many that he would continue to coach the nine as well as the football team, but there never was any inten- | tion that this should be the case.

c. W. Somers, present owner by Ben F. Hopkins, local capitalist.
 Hopkins, who is promoting the Cleveland subway and is chairman of the committee appointed by Mayor Baker to look after the affairs of the Cleveland Amateur Baseball associa- tion, declared tonight that the pre- liminary steps toward control of the Cleveland team have been taken. However, before control passes to him, a number of important details must be settled. Hopkins insists upon several radical changes in the terms of the sale as proposed by the bankers com mittee.
 President Byron Bancroft Johnson of the American league, George Steele, representing the bankers committee, and Mir. Somers held several confer ences today and tonight, and it is in l timated that the deal for the sale of the club either to Hopkins or to some one else will be closed before Johnson l leaves for Chicago tomorrow.

WANT TAD JONES FOR COACH.
Yale Undergraduates Favor Old Guar
 terback Football Mentor.

The undergraduate sentiment at Yale is growing stronger every day in favor of the selection of Tad Jones as football coach at New Haven next fall. Jones' popularity is due to the fact that some Of the members of the football squad played under Jones at Exeter academy and at Pawling school. If the new captain, Cupid" Black, has his say in the matter, it is believed that Jones will be the choice, as he played under the for mer Yale quarterback at both Pawling. and Exeter
 Jones has had remarkable success at Exeter and in each of the last three seasons that academy's old time rival, Andover, has been oYerwhelm- lngly defeated. Jones is rated as one Of Yale's best quarterbacks, but his coaching experience at New Haven has been brief.
 Before the football coach is ap pointed at New Haven, however, there may be a change in the athletic pol icy Of that institution which would re- duce the power of the football cap- tain and also the influence of the undergraduate body.
 There is a growing feeling among Yale graduates that the policy of mak- ing the captain king does not work out to the best interests of the differ ent teams. With the appointment of new graduate committee, Vance Me Cormlck, Brink Thorne and John Kill patrick, the suggested policy of re- str1cting the power of the football cap- tain may be adopted. In that event It is not likely that Jones would be l chosen head coach.
 There is strong sentiment among the graduates in favor of an older man than Jones. Much interest centres on Al Sharpe, not only because he has been successful with the Cornell eleven, but because Sharpe, in his day, was wonderful athlete at Yale
