Don't fail to hear Miss Anna Marie

tav Rabe and C. G.. Paullin.
The GRAPHIC does many people

tions to do. II you would return the
compliment you would 'phone us any
bit Of news going-arrivals or depart
ures from town, guests and so m.
Callie and Florence Griswold and
Gertrude Ochsner, high school pupils,
were neither tardy or absent for the
entire school year just closed. That's
a pretty good record, and we are bet
ting that those three girls will get
along in this world.

subscription account to the GRAPHIC

This office has a phone and a good
one. Any news about your house or
place OF business ring us up. We will
be much obliged for it. Lots of people
could help make the GRAPHIC better
in a local sense If they would remem-
Der this. That's the way the big city

Chamberlain is making preparations
for aFourth Of July celebration. 1t
is expected that excursion trains can
be secured from Sioux Falls and Sioux
City and it is hoped that the big pom
toon boat can be in readiness for
launching that day. A ball game,
Indian wal dance and other sports will
be arranged to help entertain the
crowd.
The league umplres stand behind
the catcher. That's tile proper place
for the umpire Of a base ball game. 1t
is only when the bases are full that
there is any excuse for an umpire TAX
ing a position back of the pitcher.
Whatever advantage the center of the
diamond holds in judging of base
running is more than Offset by the
disadvantages on balls and strikes and
line fowls. The center of the diamond
is safe, however, and that is why
country umpires take it.
Chamberlain Democrat: Kimball
proposes to have Il tirst-class water
system, and is accordingly inviting
bids for a compressed air system.

TO say nothing of its value in case of
fire, we believe that cheap water and
plenty of it injects greater value in
to a town than any other single in
%tluence. 1t is the trees, the grass, the
shrubs and the flowers that makes
the home, and these cannot be had
without water. No expense should De
allowed to stand in the way Of secur
ing it.
