SOME DON'TS TO
XMAS SHOPPERS
A Few Bits of Advice Which No
One Will Observe

Don't wait until Dec. "a to buy
your husbands slippers and Mary
AIMS doll. The delay makes a
hardship out of what should be the
happiest time of the year.
Don't be lazy and let some n
else choose your gifts. You are
missing half of the fun of the holt
day season, and you won't have anoth-
err chance for twelve year.
Don't ask your poor husband for
all the money he has and then lay
your purse down in the first store
you enter. Buy some calling cards
at the Press office to carry in it.
Don't, if you r a mere man, be
afraid to go in the stores and select
your wife's present. The clerks
will only smile at you behind your
back, and a mar wouldn't mind a
little thing like that!
Don't get angry if the clerks can't
wait on you Immediately. They are
fully earning their salaries these
DAYS. and YOU must wait your turn.
Don't fail to bring the children in
and let them have part of the fun.
They will enjoy seeing the pretty
things as much as you do.
Don't lose your faith in Santa
Claus and the beauty of Christmas.
This is the gladdest time of all the
year and you have no time for a
crouch. Meet the world with a
smile.

BUILDING
FOR CITY
Petition Out For Special Election
To Issue Bonds
New Structure To Cost About
Thirty Thousand
Dollars

One of Miller's most necessary
public improvements at the present
time is a new school building, and
it is expected that one will be built in
the near future. ID II. Smith,
chairman of the school board, was
out with apetition Tuesday to Sc
cure enough signers for a special
election to issue bonds for the new
building, and if the present plans of
the school board m~aterialize, work
on the new building will be begun
in the spring.
The limit of the bonds that can be
issued is $22, 600, but it is the inten-
ton to issue warrants enough to
bring the amount up to $50, 900 or
$35, 900. The new building will be
erected on the site of the old one,
and will be a fine large structure
built on modern plans.
The other two buildings Will be
torn down, and the new one made
large enough to contain both the
grades and the high school. The
new structure will probably be of
brick.
The two old school buildings are
entirely inadequate at the present
time, They are over-crowded, and
can not be heated properly in severe
weather. School has been dismissed
several times this fall because the
rooms were too cold fer use. If the
board succeeds IN raising the neces.
sary funds for the new building,
school will be dismissed a little early
next spring and the Christmas vaca-
ton will be cut down TO one week
this year.

STRIKE HINDERS
FREIGHT TRAFFIC
Railroad Employees Strike Ties
Up Freight i'm Northwest

The Switchmen's Union of the Twin
Cities has tied things up generally
in the Northwest for the past week
or SO by striking for higher wages.
Minneapolis and st. Paul are the
seat of the labor troubles, but the
effects extend to the Pacific coast.
All the roads running into those
cities are affected, and the tie-up
has had more serious results than
were at first expected.
Very little freight has been NOV
ing out OF the Twin Cities for over a
week, and coming right at this time
of the year, the effect is far-reach-
ing. MANY towns and cities Of the
Northwest have their Christmas
goods enroute from the Eastern
markets now and they will suffer
from the delay. Another instance
is reported of d Montana stockman
who had a train load Of cattle, billed
for Chicago, held up in the Saint
Paul yards for over a week.
The Northwestern road CLAIMS to
be effected least of all by the strike,
although it has been moving very
little freight. Locally, the effect
has not been felt to any extent yet,
although Miller will suffer along
with the rest of the Northwest if
the strike holds out long enough to
interfere with the transportation of
coal. The local yards are well sup
piled at the present time however.
The effects will also be felt IN the
fruit market, as the roads will not
receive ANYTHING periShable. Miller
merchants also have their
holiday goods on hand, toa large
extent, so will not be effeted in that
line very materially.

MRS, ELIZABETH REEVES

Mrs Elizabeth Reeves, Of this city,
will have spent one hundred years
on earth Saturday, December Ii.
She makes her home with her daugh-
ter, Mrs Eunice Warke, in Miller,
and although very feeble, she is able
to be up and around the house,
Mrs Reeves was born at Gorom,
New York, Dec. II, 1909. She is of
Scotch descent, and her grandfather
Stephen Douglas, was at one time
George Washington's tailor. she was
married to Daniel Reeves, in 1926
and to them ten children were born.
One of the interesting facts of her
life IS the number of moves made.
AT the time o. their liftieth we'd
ding anniversary they found that
they had changed their residence
just fifty times. At this time they
were at Florence, Iowa, and the 53rd
move brought them to South Dako-
ia, me 54th TO Santa Rosa, Cal, IN
1887. Mr. Reeves died there and in
1890 Mrs Reeves returned to Miller
to reside with her daughter, where
she will celebrate her one hundredth
anniversary.

Freight Grew Injured

The local east-bound freight met
with a slight accident Saturday af-
ternoon about a mile out of Messing
ton. A flew burst in the locomotive
boiler and the escaping steam Injur-
ed both the engineer and fremen in
a very painful way. In seeking to
escape from the steam. the fireman
stood outside of the engine and fell

not miss, he had to walk to Wessing-

very much more serious

day night the bill was Are You
Crazy and the play was better than
the name would indicate. The
thread of the story bore d strong
resemblance to the popular musical
comedy The Three Twins" now
playing in the cities. The bill for
Saturday night was Down On the
Farm" The company carried u
good orchestra, which played for a
dance after the show Saturday.
The junior class of Huron college
gave a good amateur performance
here Monday evening, when they
presented the comedy Mr. Bob. -
The college yonng people would not
class up as professionals but they

with a good house.
