DAKOTA WESLEYANS HANDIIY
OUTPLAYED BY MADISON
GRIDiRON MEN.

In a game in which the visitors
were outplayed in every department,
the State Normal football team this
afternoon at Athletic park defeated
the Dakota Wesleyan eleven by the
decisive score of So to 0. The Madi-
son boys scored the first touchdown
shortly after the opening of the con
test. and were never in real danger.
Cold, accompanied by a stiff breeze
kept down the attendance. In order
that students could attend the game,
high school classes were dismissed al
2:45 O'Clock and Normal school stu
dents at $50 o'clock.

BIG STAMP ORDER
MADISON POSTOFFICE PREPARES
FOR HEAVY DEMANDS OF
CHRISTMAS SHIPPERS.

With Christmas eve just a month
distant, it is estimated that in the
neighborhood of 10000 postage
stamps will be used TO send Yuletide
packages, Christmas greetings and
letters at the Madison ~postoffice
within the next thirty days. OF this
large number of stamps, from $4,000
to $1,000 will be of denominations
higher than the most commonly used
1-cent and 2-cent stamps, it is pre-
dicted.
The pre-holiday order of postage
from the Madison ~postoffice this year
totals las, 900 stamps of various de-
nominations. The number does not
include the postage on hand. 1t Is
he largest order of its kind ever
sent from the Madison postoffice.
Assistant Postmaster G.. A. Berg
streser said today that an increase is
noticed each year in the shipment
and receipt of parcels at the Madison
postoffice. Increased population,
growing familiarity with the parcels
post service and general prosperity,
will, ii is believed, play a share this
zeal i'm bringing about a still greater
shipment.
The Christmas rush at the postof-
flee Ices not have its inception until
about ten days before Christmas, and
ii increases in volume until a day OF
so before the holiday. A few par.
GELS, consigned to people in the ole
countries, are mailed much earlier.

Health SEALS" HERE
MORE RED CROSS SUCKERS
MUST BE SOLD TO GET
NURSE THIS YEAR.

Red Cross seals, from the sale of
which it is intended to pay the ex-
penses of a Red Cross public nurse
in Lake county. may now be had at
the banks, dry goods stores, drug
stores and institutions in which holi
day presents are sold. The seals,
which came from the headquarters of
the South Dakota State Red Cross
society at Armour, were distributed
by Mrs, II. III. Holdridge, Lake county
agent for the association.
Owing to the high cost of COM
modities. ii is going to cost more to
bring a Red Cross nurse next year
than ii did in 1916. A year ago a
nurse was supplied for one month in
counties selling 10000 stamps at l
cen each. This year $4,000 seals
must be sold TO obtain the services of
a nurse for a month. Increased rev.
enue is required owing to the ad-
vance that has taken place in the last
year in the cost of paper, the arrang-
ing and sending out of literature and
in defraying other incidental expense.
Both Lake county and the city of
Madison broke records in the sale of
seals a year ago. The county was the
first one to sell a sufficient number
OF the stickers, o its initial venture
into Red Cross work, to assure the
services here of a nurse for two
months. Madison won a banner for
selling more seals than any other
city in the state in its class.
1t is probable that. school pupils
will be asked TO assist in the selling
campaign during Health week" the
third week in December.
Miss M. A. Winters was the nurse
assigned to Lake county, and she
came here after the first of the year
Miss Winters suggested that arrange
ments be made to have her successor
come in the fall of the year, when
weather conditions are propitious for
taking up public health work i'm the
rural schools. Extremely severe
weather proved a handicap in making
the rounds of the country schools
during Miss Winters assignment
here.

CHURCH HISTORY
BEGINNING AND GROWTH or
THE HOWARD CATHOLIC
CHURCH.

The Howard Democrat, in Il very
excellent report of the Father Stecher
jubilee in that city Wednesday even
ing. says:
The editor of this paper came to
Miner county from Madison in the
spring of 1882 and in the winter of
1SS0-S1 a young priest by the name
of Father Flynn, came to Madison to
minister to the handful of church
people who were then residents of
this new town. In the spring OF
1882 Howard took on a rapid growth
and as there were quite a few Cath
Ollie families in town and holding
down claims Father Flynn came up
from Madison a number Of times and
held services here. 1t was he who
read the first mass in Howard for the
Catholic people. Shortly thereafter
it was found that a missionary priest
by the name OF Father Ahern was
holding down a claim out near No
lan's in Miner township, and he held
the first real Catholic services in the
schoolhouse in Howard in the latter
part of 1882. When Father Ahern
was called away, Father Murphy, of
Woonsocket came here occasionally
and had charge of the parish until
1888. Then Father Collins, also Of
Woonsocket, was i'm charge until
1889, and was succeeded by Father
Claude, who remained In charge UNI
til Father Miller came here in 1890,
being the first resident priest. He
remained here only about a year,
when in the latter part of December.
1891, Father Stecher came and took
charge and has been here eve since.

Earlier estimates of the value Of
Lancaster county's new tobacco crop,
which is ready for cutting, are much
below the figures presented at the
meeting of the Lancaster County
Tobacco Growers Association q few
weeks ago. The reports then given
make 1t certain that there are TO-
600 acres in tobacco in Lancaster
county that will have big crop.
The government estimates $685.
900 pounds as the Pennsylvania
tobacco CROP and Lancaster county
will furnish about 80 per cent. The
shortage of old tobacco. fact well
known to growers rs to dealers,
coupled with the effects OF buyers to
induce growers to sell their crops ON
the field at prices ranging from IL
to 16 cents n pound for wrappers
and to 4 cents for fillers. has con-
WINGED growers that they will get ex-,
ceptioually high prices this year.
1t is estimated now that the crop
win put 100000 into the pockets
of farmers. Local packers and out
side buyers are securing every corner
of Lancaster county after Old tobac-
CO. and here and there an almost
forgotten small packing rewards me
search. The 1915 packing now COM
mands IS cents q pound, and the
price is advancing. The rumor that
agents Of foreign governments will
again buy the 1900 goods has tended
to stop the downward movement in
prices of these goods. The cigar
trade is good among the larger
which carry their own
packings of leaf.

The Gasoline, Puzzle.

After rising like rocket to a
figure nearly treble chat of year
ago, the price of gasoline is now
coming down, slowly, it Is true. but
under conditions of equal mystery
with those which marked its rise.
But why does gasoline suddenly
become cheaper after as suddenly be-
coming dear? That is the prize
puzzle of a system of price-fxing. Of
which the oil industry has furnished
many examples. The present re-
duction is attributed to increased
production and a slackening of the
demand for the fuel for the military
needs of Europe. But certainly the
domestic demand, both for Industrial
and pleasure uses. has enormously
increased. The decline in the price
of crude oil has been slight. and 1t is
not assumed that the long establish
ed and efficiently managed producing
companies have only at this late day
effected economics which make its
production cheaper. Why, then,
does gasoline cost less now than a
month or a week ago?
Gasoline is more than ever a public
necessity. The recent extreme fuc-
tuations in it's price nave inspired
Congressional inquiries. The Fed
eral Trade Commission has just
finished an investigation OF methods
of production and conditions OF cost
Yet the mystery remains at most,
half solved. A good way to clear
it up might be to subject the entire
oil industry to Federal supervision.

The wise Candidate.

The seeker for public Office who
possesses the wisdom necessary to
qualify him for the opsition is alive
to the fact that the voter of today
has to be shown, that deeds count
for more than empty words and
cheap cigars. A few years ago the
candidate circulated around passing
out rag weed in the guise of cigars
and declaiming upon the glories OF
the republic in general and the voter
in particular. He promised every
thing and delivered little or nothing.
Today he goes to the editor of the
local paper, contracts for a liberal
amount of legitimate display ad-
vertising space, ana talks to the
voters in an honest and manly way.
In the old days he reached only a
few of the voters, whereas by the
present method he tanks through the
medium of his advertisement to
every voter in the community. What
he says is on record in cold type,
and carries conviction. 1t is the
method that produces tangible re-
suits, that gets the votes, that ap-
peals to the intelligence Of an honest
people. Keep your eye on the ad-
vertising columns of the press. and
see what your candidates have to
say.--Ex.

The largest new element in our

The female vote is double the

States which have female suffrage
there are four million women OF

what Doctor Taft received four years
ago and he would have beaten Wood
