COYOTES WILL
PLAY BASKETBALL

The Coyotes will play basket
ball. This the decision that has
hung in the air for the last ten
days, was reached by the Athlet
ic Board of Control at its Decem-
Der meeting.
No basketball schedule has been
planned but the fate of the game
which hung in the balance was
up for discussion. It is probable
that three basketball trips VIII
be taken, a northern trip that
may include Yankton, Dakota
Wesleyan. Aberdeen Normal. HUI
ron and Sioux Falls College; a
southern trip which may include
games with Nebraska. Creighton
and Nebraska Wesleyan, and q
central trip To Iowa This is
a tentative schedule and no
games will be played until after
the holidays. Basketball prac-
tice is well under way.

A committee consisting Of
Chairman Tom Tollefson of
Brown county and Chairman G.
A. Elsom of the Marshall county
board, was appointed to select
an engineer to make the prelim-

NEW BANK LAW
PROVING EFFICIENT

Pierre, Dec. 26.--State Bank
Examiner Wingfield feels that
the bank guaranty act is showing
what it will do for state banks.
The showing Of increase in de-
pesits in the state banas in the
past year since the new act has
been in effect has taken a strong
upward trend. The normal in
crease in such banks ha5 been
been from S3,OO0,OOO to S5,OOO,-
600 per year. .
The past year it has been close
to S2O,OO0,0OO. OF course it is
possible that a portion Of this is
accounted for by the increased
receipts for their products by the
farmers of the state, but he es-
timated this at not more than a
million and a half, and that the
balance of the increase comes
from the guaranty act. He plac-
ed the increase in deposits in the
national banks Of the state at a
little over $4,000. 900 for the past
year, which with the heavy in
crease in state bank deposit,
show over $23, ,OOO, 900 increase in
deposits in the state for the past
year.

'''' 8 RE CONVICTED

The State Food and Drug de-
partment which is located at the
University of South Dakota, has
met received notice Of the con-
y;,,ion of two grocers and a
buteher at Watertown and an
ether butcher at lroquois. for vi
olatiOn of pure food and drug
laws. Inspector Harry Lobald
detected the violations. The gro
GERS a, Watertown had been sell
iop cane vinegar as cider vinegar
and at the price of real cider vim
egar. The butcher at Watertown
was caught with ice on his oyst-
ers. The water from the melting
ice violates the law which pro-
vides that no water shall be add
ed to oysters for sale. All three
of these men plead guilty and
maid their fines. The indict-
ment against the Iroquois butch
er was for slaughtering q diseas-
ed animal. The case was brought
to court and tried under an old
statute, the validity of which
was unknown. The successful
prosecution of this case revived
the value of the statute and will
make future prosecutions easier
and probably secure convictions
against violations which would
otherwise remain unpunished.
The case had been pending since
last summer. Ii was first tried
in the justice court. The defend
ant was fined SIS and charges.
He appealed and was fined 500
in the circuit court. He had
knowingly slaughtered a COW
much emaciated from the effects
Of the advanced stage of lumpy
zsjaw.

WANT NEW LAW TO
FACILITATE RETURNS

Pierre, Dec. 26.-As usual, fol-
lowing an election, the press of
the state is demanding law
which will assure more rapid e.
lection returns, SO that the public
may know what the outcome has
been without the long wait. The
law is already in existence. and
the only trouble is that it is not
complied with and the penalties
enforced. Chapter 258, laws of
1911, provide for unofficial re-
turns by local election officials
Immediately after the count is
made, and that county auditors
shall tabulate and forward unof.
ficial returns to the secretary Of
state at once. Section five Of the
law provides in substance that
where the local officials fail to
make the unofficial precinct re-
turns to the auditor such offici-
ais are barred from receiving any
compensation for their services
as election officials, and that
where a county auditor fails TO
make such returns within two
days after the precinct unofficial
returns are made to him, the sec
retary Of state shall send a mess
enger after such returns at an
expense of $4 day and all trav-
cling and incidental expenses,
and the same must be paid by
the county and the amount de-
Quoted from the next monthly
salary Of the county auditor.
The only trouble with the law
is that no effort has been made
to enforce it. 1t must be said
that most Of the county auditors
Of the state comply, but there
are always a few who pay no at
tention TO this law and this drags
the count on unofficial figures.

all through the month of Janu-

STRYCHNINE PROVES
FATAL TO INFANT

The enire community was sad
dened on Friday. when it was
learned that little Herman, the
two year old son of Louis Lam
bert had died from an overdose
Of strychnine tablets. which he
had eaten. presumably mistaking
them for candy. The little boy
lived for two hours after taking
the fatal dose and was in intense
agony until relieved by death.
1t appears that little Herman
and his sister, who was two years
older. had discovered the box of
tablets on top of dresser about
1890 in the morning and. child
like. sampled the contents. The
little girl did not like their bitter
taste and therefore did not eat
many of the tablets. but the boy
had swallowed a considerable
quantity. Their mother who was
in an adjoining room did not dis
cover the net of the children un-
til after the poison had begun to
have its effect and it was then
too late to save the boys life. Drs.
Strang and Phelps were immedl-
ately summoned and they did ev-
erything in their power to save
the boy. but to no avail, his death
coming a 1890. DR.. Strang stat
ed that the little boy had taken a
third of a grain Of poison into his
system.
The little girl is rapidly recov-
ering and is safely out of danger
from the effects of the POISON.
Funeral services. for little Her
man were held at the Presbyter-
ian Church on Sunday Rev. Hy-
ink officiating, and the little
body laid to rest in the Lennon
cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to the be-
reaved parents in their great
loss.

TANK HEATER IS
REAL ECONOMY

1t is cheaper to heat water for
dairy cows with a good tank
heater than to compel them TO
change ice water to body heat by
consuming extra grain, accord
ing to Prof. c. Larsen of South
Dakota State college. He as
serts that when a COW is requir-
ed to change about eighty pounds
of water daily from freezing
temperature to that of the body,
or 102 degrees Fahrenheit, much
of the feed she has eaten for
milk production is necessarily di-
yerted to keeping up bodily
heat.
Grain is too expensive to use
as fuel for heating water" de-
clares Professor Larsen, "and the
body of the COW is altogether
too useful for other purposes
than that of being used as a
stove. Furthermore when a COW
is compelled to drink ice cold
water she is usually obliged to
stand in frosty air. thus she is
not only heating the water she
drinks but she is also trying =
