MILLERS'S lOl RANCH
The Zeal via vest shsM IS Billed 10 appear
In Eaaice On October 10Th.

Announcement is made Of the ap.
p~earance in Eunice on October I0tE
of the l01 Ranch Real Wild West
Show, the big amusement adjunct Of
the famous l01 Ranch of Bliss, Okla.

RE Miller Bros. own and operate.
Their associate Is Edward Arlington,
long q wellknoWn and distinguished
figure ia the circus world.
The Millers are, undoubtedly, the
most famous cattlenen Of the great
Southwest. There are three Of them,
and they started with q homestead
allotment Of 100 acres when the
Cherokee strip was opened to settle
ment. joe Miller made the run and
planted his flag of ownership on the
banks Of the Salt Fork, a slender
tributary Of the Arka 1sas river. To-
day the Miller holdings include three
towns and parts Of three counties,
and some European principalities
would be lost in the vast lO1 Ranch
area. Cattle and horses roam the
fertile acres in thousands, and the
Millers buy and sell by the train load.
The small farmer may till his quarter
section in Oklahoma, but the 1O1
Ranch remains u~nencroached upon.
Here remain the wild buffalo, the
cowboy and the cowgirl in their pris-
tine glory, and here the Indian still
smokes, undisturbed, in tepee, hut or
possibly rough lodge Of skins.
The show Is ali ampIifled version Of
the one which broke all records ID.
patronage and popularity last year.
Joseph G. Miller, senior OF the three
brothers, is in personal charge. He
promises that patrons will witness a
tournament that departs absolutely
from the familiar, tedious routine Of
the so-called wild West exhibitions.
Its home and it's origin are the Okla
hona prairie. Every person and feat
ure is real, vital and characteristic.
The performers are not professionals,
but men, women and children on a

Southwest for skill Or daring III aYo-
cations Of the range. Bufaloes,

Another member has been added to the
downtown coteris of artists IN Miss Car
RE Hill, who opened a coy studio In the
Hood building a week ago. Miss Hfls
paintings are well known already, but a
visit to her studio is a revelation as TO
the improvements IN the character OF
her work the past several years. during
which period she has pursued her studies
under some of the country's best mas
tiers.
A visit to Miss Hills new studio the
other morning found her IN work apron
and with brushes preparing the first
rough sketch for a copy Of one of the
exquisite water colors with which her
walls are hung for an out-of-town Gus
toner. Miss Hill is one Of Alabama's
cleverest young landscape painters and
has given some attention to portraiturs.
hut her preference Is easily seen when
one examines the sketches and finished
paintings In oils and water colers which
