Mr. Brooke took me home in his
roadster. 1t was a lovely night. and
when he asked me if 1 would like a
15-minute spin along the lake. Just
couldn' t say no. We had delightful

when he left me, after opening the door,
he remarked:

Clifford all about the nice people I had

burned, was indignant, yet l eouldn I
help being also little pleased, SO they
thought me pretty, even if | didn I
know how to wear my clothes. Then
and there 1 made mental note that
to wear my clothes well should be an

MONEYS and CREDITS
Up TO PROPERTY OWNER TO
LIST CASH FOR TANES.

Pierre, Nov. l5.-The supreme
court has ruled that a property own
er must give his list of moneys and
credits to the assessor for taxation
whether or not the assessor specific
ally asks for them. The contention
that the assessors failure to demand
such a listing made the man not liza
BILE to the penalty imposed by the
statute providing for listing OF all
property for taxation is overruled.
The court says in part:
THE statute nowhere requires the
assessor to make a specific demand as
to each OF the thirty separate classes
of personal property required to be
listed. The statute requires the tax
payer himself to list each and every
item OF taxable personal property de-
scribed in the statute. II follows that
the failure of the assessor TO specific
ally demand that the defendant list
his credits constitutes no defense
whatever
The case is that Of South Dakota
VS.. Ferman Weaver. of Hyde county,
wherein Weaver failed to list the
amount OF his credits-and he con
tended that the assessor asked him to
list his money-but did not mention
credits. Evidence showed that he
held a certificate of deposit for ST.
1875. due in ten months. and this
should have been listed. The trial
court held that he be fined $50 for
this failure. and, the supreme court
ruling sustains IT..

FOOTBALL DOPE
GOOD SHOWING BY STATE COL
I4EGE-MADISON NORMAL
STANDS IN.

Vermillion, Nov. 15.-By defeating
the North Dakota university. IA TO Z,
Saturday, Brookings State college
presents a forceful claim for state in
tercollegiate honors. The claim is
based on the comparative scores of
the North Dakota-South Dakota
game, i'm which the upstate won,
and the struggle Saturday. in which
State college was victor.
While this is a rather unsatisfac-
tory method of uncovering the most
likely contender, IL is nevertheless
the only manner i'm which a probable
state championship eleven can be
doped out. inasmuch as the two lead
ing elevens do not meet on the grid
iron this fall.
Excluding the university and the
State college and surveying the rank
ing of the other college teams in the
state, Sioux Falls college is to be
given first consideration as a leader.
To date the Queen City" school has
defeated such teams as Yankton col
lege and Dakota Wesleyan, i'm add
ton 10 tieing the Huron college elev-
en- on the %latter's field. Huron in
turn has defeated the Aberdeen Nor
NAL and the Rapid City Miners, so, in
a complete survey. odds would favor
the Sioux Falls school.
Normal school honors in the state
still seem TO rest between the Aber-
deem. Madison and Spearfish schools.
Fortunately all of these elevens get a
chance TO play each other and il is
moi likely hat a clouded title will
result. Columbus college of Cham
berlain. for the first time in years,
is entitled TO consideration in sum
ming up the state race. Their game
with Dakota Wesleyan should be a
close struggle.
