"Too" Most Misspelled
Word in Dicfionar,

The little monosyllable "too" is the
most misspelled word in the language.

piled a list Of the so words most often
found incorrect In the compositions
written during period Of seven years
by 2,414 candidates for college en-
trance.
This inquiry Suggested to the teach
ers Of London that similar list might
be compiled from the work Of British
pupils. As preliminary to this study
the so words that had stumped Ameri-
can students were tried out on British
pupils. Teachers in all parts Of Eng
Land. Scotland and Wales dictated this
list to 1884 pupils in the elementary
schools.
As a result Of the test. it was found
that British and American students
misspell different words. The word
''too," first on the American list,
was forty-third In order Of words
misspelled by British pupils. ITO
gether," another seemingly hard
word for American pupils, is not
. stumbling block to the British.
It was fourth on the American list and
forty-ninth on the British.

among the ten most frequently mis-
spelled by both American and British
pnIllls was COMMITTEE" Whether or

ev;scntly a puzzle to both groups.
No comparison can be made of the
spelling ability Of American and Brit
ish pupils, as the British elementary
school children were, Of course, much
younger than the American high school
graduates. This difference of age ac-
counts somewhat for the dissimilarity

THIRD PARTY
PLAN STARTED
POindexter Files For State
Auditor

Filing of petitions putting D.
c. PoindeXter on the ballot as
candidate for state auditor of the
Farmer-Labor Party brings to the
fore again schism in politics in
the state which may grow to an
unusual extent in the next two
years. Mr.. Poindexter. who was
indorsed by the Nonpartisan Lea
que, consented to allow his name
to be used as a candidate of the
Farmer-Labor forces in an effort
to establish it as party by poll
ing five percent Of the total vote
cast for Governor at the last cleo
tion. Under this plan, Farmer
Labor forces expected to gain
column on the ballot two years
hence.
Should the Farmer-Labor Party
gain place on the ballot, it is
expected that the fight to have
the League abandon the Republi-
can primary would be renewed. The
League declined to try the third
party plan in the last election.
Withdrawal of T. D. Casey of
Dickinson and George Leonhardy

for Attorney General and State
Auditor, respectively, removes op-
position from Democratic sources
to George F. Shafer and John
Steen, candidates on the fusion
ticket, in accordance with the plan
for Democratic Republican coal
ition on the state ticket.
George Olson and Lewis Haug-

mary, have filed as independent

by a score Of Il to o. The Linton
boys fought hard but were badly
outclassed from the start, the
"Demons" running up score OF 80
10 in the first half Of the game.
The contest furnished Coach Jimmy
Morrison an opportunity to put
lot of young hopefuls through the
PAGES and learn little bit about
their actions in a real game
1t was costly scrimmage for the
locals, however, Sidney Register
breaking a collar-bone in the play.
He will be out Of football for the
season, but is expected to play bas-
ketbail this winter.
With the Linton game out of the
way, Coach Morrison was looking
forward to the game with Valley
City at Valley City, Friday. The To-
cal team, composed chiefly of green
players, will run up against sea
soned bunch of regulars at Valley
City The Demons" displayed
lot of speed, hard tackling and fight
ing spirit in the game here yester-
day, however, and the bunch ia
planning to give Valley City Il hard
battle.
At the start of yesterdays game,
Coach Morrison sent in lineup as
follows: Center, Hillman; right
guard, Leroy; left guard, Anderson;
right tackle, Russell; left tackle,
Bender; right end, Register; left
end. Shepard; quarter, Haas; left
half Olson; right half, Rosson; full
back, Moses. Many changes were
made in the lineup, n big bunch be-
ing given a chance to show their
goods. The substitutions included,
Lofthouse for Olson, G. Landers for
Rosson, r. Landers for G. Landers,
Scroggins for Moses, Flaherty for
guard; Won Hagen at guard, Dan
Anderson, Fitch, Brown and Erick-
son at ends; Folsom and Sanders at
rot at tackle, Byrne at fullback, Nc
Gettigan at fullback.

ers on the field; ends, Soulter and
Irwin; tackles, Corner and Dockter,
guards Backhaus and Fergus; back
field, Chesrown, Bargens, Quasi and
Reidlinger, with Green, Thomas and

The local team will have a fairly
heavy line but a very light backfield,
and will have to depend on fast
offensive to win games.
Shepard has been named acting
captain in the place of Brown, who
is ineligible.
