Christmas Greetings

The PRESS wishes its reauers a
very Merry Christmas, not because
it is the stereotyped thing to do. but
because we believe that this is the
one time of the year when happiness
and good wishes should hold full
sway in the hearts of men. 1t is the
one day that is universally observed
throughout all Christendom. and its
message of good cheer never fails
to find a response in all humanity,
from the tiniest child. on up the
scale. We would say with Henry
Van Dyke:
1t is a good thing to observe
Christmas Day. The mere making
of times and seasons when men
agree to stop work and make merry
together. is a wise and wholesome
custom. 1t helps one to feel the
supremacy of the common life over
the individual life. 1t reminds a
man to SCI. bis own little watch, now
and then, by the great clock of
humanity, which runs on sun time.

ROBBED HIMSELF,
FOUND GUILTY
Cantonwine, the Armour Mer-
chant, Guilty of Robbing
His Own Safe

j. c. Cantonwine, of Armour, was
found guilty of several different
charges by the federal court at
Sioux Falls last week. This case
has gained statewide publicity since
it was started because of the pc
culiarity of the crime, and the
prominence of the man. 1t is also
of some local interest as Canton
wines wife is related to the Hub
bard family, former residents of
this county. and he, himself, at one
time owned land here. George
Hubbard was one of the prominent
witnesses in the trial.
Cantonwine was a prominent
merchant at Armour, until a year
or so ago, whe the trouble began.
He claimed to have had his safe
robbed of about $500, and after
ward filed bankruptcy proceedings.
His wife has figured prominently in
the case, as il was to her that his
property and money were fraudu-
transferred, according to the
jurv's verdict. The federal court
found him guilty Of swearing false
ly in his bankruptcy proceedings,
robbing his own safe and then laying
the blame on a clerk, and transfer
ing his property to his wife.

INTENSE COLD
GRIPS COUNTRY
Storms And Cold Universal From
Texas to Canada

South Dakota is not the coolest
place in the world this winter,
neither has it the most snow. The
whole country has been in the grip
of a cold wav for several weeks
past which extends from the Gulf of
Mexico through the southwest states
up into Canada. Dispatches from
Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
all the middle states report intense
cold, and much snow, with the ther-
mometer lowering around zero, and
in many places much below.
Many billiards. have tied up rail
road traffic all over the country in a
way that Is very unusual at this
time of the year. Another and a
worse feature of the zero weather
is the unprecedented number of
train wrecks caused by the spread
ing of the rails. There have been
something like twenty-five wrecks
in different parts of the country in
the last two or three weeks, with a
big loss of life and many injuries.
South Dakota has come in for her
share of the wintry weather, but
has not Jared any worse than the
rest of the country. The season, so
far, however, is the worst since the
memorable winter of 1896. The cold
and now seem to have come to STAY,
but this section has not heen bother
ed with any billiards to tie up the
train service. The worst feature of
the winter around here is the condi-
ton of the roads leading into Miller.
Farmers from every direction find
it ar arduous task to get into town,
because of the deep snow packed in
the roads.
Following are a few Of the reports
from outside points:
Dallas, Texas. Dec. 18-With the
thermometer lowering around zero
throughout Texas, the southwest to-
night is in the grasp of a blizzard.
Snowfall is reported from almost
every direction. The blizzard e,-
tended north through Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee.
Chicago, Dec. 18-The cold wave
extends throughout the Mississippi
valley. Chicago was near zero,
while New Richmond, Wis, reported
10 below; Sioux City, 5 below; Lin
coin 6 below; Norfolk, Neb., 10
below. On the west slope of the
mountains INTO New Mexico
the cold is unprecedented in bitter
ness for this time of the year.

Christmas

Let us hasten to adore our Lord,
Who on this day was born;
The sweetest tiny infant,
On this bright winter morn.
See in a lowly stable,
The most loved of human forms,
A helpless little Baby,
During winters chilling storms.
Yet what a time for rejoicing,
For see what has been done
To save poor sinful creatures
God sent His only Son.
He knew just what we needed
To humble our sinful pride:
So He came on earth to teach us,
And for us on the cross He died.
Oh how we should love and serve,
And to our Savior pray,
That we may follow in his footsteps
In every way each day.
We must remember the poor and
helpless,
While we have houses and land.
Divide with the poor and homeless,
That we hear OF On every hand.
Else how could we ever take COM
fort,
AS we make up our soft downy led;
And think of this. The son of man
Hath not wherein to lay His Head"
But We must be glad and happy,
To celebrate with mirth.
Ask Asss.e-ggaassd ard direct rs !.
And follow Him from birth.
