HUTCHINSON TO PLAY
PEARSON FOR TITLE
Meet in Final Round for Squash Rae
quet Laurels

Stanley w. Pearson, of Germantown,
the present titlchoder and ID. L..
Hutchinson, Sd, Racquet Club, qualified
for the final round of the squash racquets
championship of Pennsylvania at the
Racquet club yesterday by defeating
respectively, w. II. 7. HUM, Racquet
Club and Morton l.. Newhall, German
town. Pearson defeated Huhn by three
games to none, 15-6, l5-2, 17-li and
Hutchinson defeated Newhall by three
games to one, l5-7. 15-5, 2-15. 1S-15
The match between Pearson and HUM
was played first, and contrary to expec-
tations Huhn proved no match for the
champion. Without detracting in the
least from Pearson's victory it can be
said that Huhn was completely off form
in the first two games, and wnen he did
strike something like his true form in
the third game his effort came too late.

GOSSIP OF THE CIRCUIT

Western Electric, by defeating National
Biscuit, last night, forged ahead in the
race for the Industrial League pennant
AS result of its 3S to % victory. the
Electrics are in possession of first place,
as +. G. Budd, with whom the Electrics
were tied, did not play.
The other game terminated in 2S to 13
triumph for American Pulley over Hale
IL I[iburn. causing the tie for seventh
place to remain unbrOken. Hale & Kill
burn and National Biscuit are still on n
par with two wins and ten losses.
1t is interesting to note that in defeat
ing the Nahiscos each player on the
Western Electrics contributed three goals
from the field. For the vanquished five
King and McComas also registered trio
of double-deCkers.
King started the game in a sensational
manner by scoring 7 points for Nabisco
before his opponents had made a single
tally. When the Electrlcs began scoring,
however, they had the game all their own
way.

increase is accounted for by the fact
that the North Dakota farmers big
crops last year placed them in posi-.
ton to pay up in full unexpired con.

biggest increase, naturally, was in

MARMAR1H WOULD Be
SLOPE COUNTY SEAT
Seeks to Wrest Honors from Ami
don-Name of Aspirant Cant
Go On Ballot

| Marmarth, situate on the Milwau-
kee line, near the border OF Slope
and Bowman counties, hopes to wrest
the Slope county seat from Amidon.
an inland town without railway facil'
tiles, at the coming election. Mar.
1narth has gone into the game with q
great flourish Of newspaper ink, and
it is saying numerous unpleasant
things about Amidon and the great
corporations which it alleges have a
dark, mysterious interest in Amidon's
future.
Incidentally Marmarth's aspirations
have ELECTED from Attorney General
Henry J. Linde an interesting opin.
ion. Marmarth petitioned the attor-
ney general for permission to have
the name Of Marmarth appear upon
the ballot at the county seat elec-
ton this fall. Mr.. Linde says:
This election in your county would
be governed by the provisions of Sec.
320S Of the 1913 compiled laws, and
in my opinion no petition is required,
and the name of the candidate for
county seat should not be printed on
the ballot. The ballot should be so
made up that the voter can write the
name Of the town which is his pref.
erence for county seat. Under this
statute it becomes the duty of the
proper officers Of the county to sub.
NIT to the voters at the election this
fall the question of the location Of
the county seat. This is what our
supreme court has deemed reloca.
ton election, as distinguished from
removal election. In theory, the coun-
ty seat has not in fact been located
until after vote has been had on
the proposition. It is my opinion,
further, that in order to designate
county seat, only plurality vote Of
the electors of the county is requir.
ed"
Only Tentatively Located.
The capital of the recently created
Slope county has only tentatively
been located at Amidon, which had
hoped to have this selection ratified
by the people at the fall election. Am
idon also hopes to get a railway, the
coming of which depends much on it's
retention OF the county seat.

CONFERENCE
IS SUCCESS TO DATE
Methodists Gathered In Annual
Session Make Splendid Prog

jamestown, N. D., Oct. 11.-Speak.
ing before the North Dakota Confer
ence of Methodists at the University
Board Of Sunday Schools, Mathew J.
Trenery of Chicago, tonight declared
people are hungry for the gospel Of
Christ and if the Methodist church is
to be thoroughly equipped to carry on
a worldwide program of Sunday
school extension, it must come from
America.
DR.. Trenery asserted the great aim
of the Board of Sunday Schools is to
raise the standard in small Sunday
schools and added that "all Metho-
dist Sunday schools are either tre-
mendous assets to the church or q
menace to the life of the child"
DO you realize what it means to
your children" was the question he
asked the congregation which filled
the church.
Prominent Methodist leaders pro.
fessed tonight that the matter Of
bringing camp meetings, going under
the name of the Methodist under con.
troll Of conferences, is a serious prop
osition and in all probability will be
aired at the conference.
The matter was touched by Bishop
Cooke after District Superintendent
Moore of Bismarck had given his an.
nual report, in which he declared
camp meetings are operating in Bis
marck district and while the meetings
are called Methodist they are abso'
! lutely independent Of the church and
