Adjourned Term OF Court

Judge Hughes will hold an ad-
~journed term of circuit court in
Miller tomorrow, Friday, to hear
the park case. This is a case be-
tween the city and +. J. Miller over
a block Of ground between Third
and Fifth streets, and Elite and
Charming SITS. very close to the
school house.
This plot of ground was a small
lake when the town was located,
and for several years was enjoyed
by the school children for boating in
summer and skating in winter.
But some years ago it was drained
BY the city sewer running through
il, and it is now as dry as a bone.
About twenty three or four years
ago. a movement was started to
make this a lake park. with a drive.
way and trees about the lake. and
some five hundred dollars were ex-
pended in work. but the enterprise
was never completed. This pro-
perty was decided to the city by w.
H. and L. J. Miller, the owners.
The question now involved is the
conditions included in and affecting
the transfer.

Did You Know

That everybody hates a knocker?
That July has been dishing out an
excellent brand of summer weather?
That it is against the law to use a
hose without a sprinkler?
That water is more to be valued
than great riches while you are
nursing that lawn?
That those benches in the court
house park are p%opular-at night?
That the churches are holding
their own this summer?
That some brand of religion APP
peals to everyone?
That maybe the other fellows
kind is just rs good for him as yours
is for you?
That Miller will soon have an
other brick building hnished?.
That there was no boom to burst
in Miller or Hand county,?
Thay there are other good years
coming?

and tell YOU things were going to

and tell you things were going to
the devil?
You say it is a newspapers bust
ness to boost, but why is it, any
more than it is your business to do
so? Your newspaper isn't paid for
its everlasting pulling for its town
and state. any more than you are.
1t has its business ups and downs,
is prosperous IN fat years and hard
up in lean years, but it keeps right
on boosting all the time.
One cannot fail to be impressed
with this fact by a review of the
weekly papers Of South Dakota.
They are not misleading the public
in any way whatsoever, but their
pages are filled with optimistic re.
ports and messages. They are Civ
ing their readers the actual facts,
but are giving them in the light of
optimism rather than peSsimism
And who would not rather look at
life, with its ups and downs, through
rose.colored glasses instead of gray?

The Poverty of No Ideals.

There are people who speak irreverently
Of al ideals. Just as many self-educated men
are forever saying spiteful things about the
college education they missed. or the social
elevation they would. in their hearts, like to
have. Give me handful OF certainty to a
whole CARLOAD OF possibilities they sneer.
and q certainty is what they are likely to get.
with no overplus. They have not put any
thing out to interest in such desire. and
nothing In the bank is perfectly sure to earn
nothing. They might have desired some
thing definite and equally certain, and had
q little faith In its larger possibilities. had
they 30 willed. and lost nothing.
II you and I are really eager for life We
