WEALTH OF SOUTH DAKOTA

South Dakota's hoard of veal
tn in the form of bank deposits
and securities increased more
than $175, ,OOO, 900 during the war
period between the spring of 1917
and the spring of 1919. Data was
gathered by the 9th District War
Savings Organization and shows
that the Sunshine States accumu
lation of new resources was not
only far greater than anything
previously known in South Dako-
ia, but was larger proportionate-
ly than the gain in any other Of
the Ninth District states.
Outstanding smong the items
that go to make up the $175, 600.

Abundant crops at high prices.
soaring markets for livestock and
dairy products and in general the
wartime demand for foodstuffs
and products of the soll were
chief factors in pouring into
South Dakota during the period
of war. Many millions more

creased land values, total of
farm mortgages paid off and the
sums invested in other than gov
ernment securities were to be set
down.
J. F. McEwcn, first deputy ex-
aminer for South Dakota, inform
ing the district organization on
the status of state banks, wrote
as follows: "At the time of the
call report for the close of busi-

The entire squad is in good condition
now, with the exception of few in

end of the week will be primed for the
annual tilt with their rivals, unless some
unforeseen accident should occur In the
daily scrimmages.
Bob Rowe has been on the injured list
for over two weeks, and up to several
days ago was in a local hospital The
big end sustained his injury in the Ma

entertained for his recovery in time to

Enthusiasm reigns supreme.
Immediately following the Southern

proved that Birmingham Southern was
there with the spirit.
The first mass meeting of the week,
and the most enthusiastic yet held, was
held yesterday.
The rivalry between the two institu-
tons, although friendly in every respect,
is exceedingly keen, and the two elevens
Saturday will stage great fight be
fore they allow their goal line to be
crossed.
Betting so far has been mostly even
money, although odds both ways have
been heard Of The betting will probasly
remain even for the contest
The dope favors neither eleven very
much. Alabama defeated Howard by a
dS-t1o score, while the Crimson tri-
umphed over the Panthers by a 27-to-0
count This would, of course, give the
odds in the dope to Birmingham South
ern, but in reality the dope would not
give the Panther eleven such an advan-
tage.
Alabama played OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
on October 4, only a short time after the
former team had started practicing, while
the Painters were in fairly good condi-
tion for the contest. Alabama's great
eleven was then only in the making, and
two weeks later the university put a
far better team on the field. Howard
had played two strong teams just be-
fore encounterlng the CRIMSON, ana was
possibly not as well primed for the con-
test For this reason Alabama should
have defeated the Bulldogs more than
the Panthers, provided the two elevens
are on an even basis. The dope then
would not favor either aggregation, and
it rings true with the opinion of the wise
critics that the two rivals were never
more evenly matched. 1t will be great
