Talking Creamery Again

The recent visit of a creamery
man resulted in the selection of a
committee by the Commercial Club
to investigate the matter, and list
the number of cows available in the
vicinity of Miller.
The committee selected J. w.
Heltibridle to make the canvass
among local farmers and dairy peo-
pie. and if enough cows are listed it
is understood that one or more
creamery men are ready to start a
creamery here. They make the
claim that a local creamery would
increase the price Of cream to local
dairy people. Dairy interests have
grown quite rapidly in this locality
in the past few years. The ship.
ment Of cream to outside creameries
has become quite an important in.
dustry, and has finally attracted the
attention of men engaged in con.
Quoting creameries.

arm used in modern conflicts. Ac-
cording TO Mr. Gathmann. his broth

to the United States government,
but did not succeed. Since that
time the brother became affiliated

For State Senator

Hlghmore Bulletin:-Glen M
Waters Of Miller. the republican
nominee for State Senator, is a
young man of whom the republl-
cans of this senatorial district are,
and have a right to be especially
proud. Mr. Waters was born and
raised in Miller, is a son of one of
the old timers-a man who made a
material success IN a financial way,
and builded for himself a reputation
for business integrity. Glenn is an
attorney. and a Young man of sterl-
ing character and good habits. He
has inherited the trait of ~investiga-
ting propositions for himself and
not takiag the statement of others
entirely for granted. This particu-
lar trait of character, will make him
a valuable legislator, and we per-
dict for Mr. Waters a future politi-
cal career, of which not only the
people of Hand and HYDE counties,
but all the people of South Dakota,

ROADS SHOULD
BE DRAGGED
Use of Drag on Graded Roads
Removes RutS

In this age of increacing automo.
bile traffic the demand for better
roads is steadily increasing and
while every year sees new roads laid
out and graded. little is done toward
maintaining and keeping up the
road after the grade has been made
The Mitchell Mail has the following
article on the subject which will APP
ply to all road building:
This season has amply demon
strated one fact in regard to road
building. 1t is a waste of money to
build roads unless a drag is used af-
ter each rain, as the roads become
rutty unless smoothed over, and so
full of bumps that it's about as easv
to drive over plowed ground as to
try to negotiate one Of these scenic
highways a day or two after a rain.
Unless the township or county let
ting contracts for road building in
tend having the new roads dragged
regularly for at least a wear or two
its a waste of money and an neon
yenience to the travelling public to
compel them to use such roads.
"The moral OF the point of all this
that the natural prairie roads bet
ter be left alone Except the neces,
sary grades at bad spots) unless pro.
vision is made for continuous and
regular care of them after they are
made. Better an appropriation of
81 900 and $500 for maintenance of
a certain stretch of road. than an ap-
preparation of $1,000 and depend on
the Almighty to take care Of it.

GERMANS RECEIVE
REINFORCEMENT
And are Able to Withstand Fur
ious Attacks of Allies

London, Oct. General Won
Kluck has been reinforced with
troops from the German center and
continues to make a determined
stand against the attempt of the
allies to outflank him.
General French, who yesterday re-
ported that all the German attacks
in this reagion had been repulsed
and that the allies had assumed the
offensive. announced today that the
battle on the north of the Disc,
which had been commenced on Sep
TENDER 25, continues with great
violence, with no decisive results
and that at some points the French
had yielded ground.
The Germans said in thei: report
last night that the battle was pro
ceeding successfully for them. Both
in London and Paris there is the
greatest confidence although sur
prise has been displayed at the sue
S of the Germans in preventing
the thanking movement.
Along the rest of the line the
French communication says that
there has been no change.
The defeat of the German army
which has invaded Russia from East
Prussia appears from the Russian
accounts to have been more decisive
than previously announced, Accord
ing to the Russian ambassador at
Rome the Germans were completely
routed with a loss of 10000 and
forced to abanuon everything. The
Russians are now moving forward
with the object of invading East
Prussia again.
While it is feared that some of the
outer chain Of Notifications Of the
Antwerp ring have been smothered
by the Germans, it is believed that
the Belgian capital will hold out I'M
til the siege can be raised by the
allies. London war experts believe
the widely cIrcling movement IN
northern France will soon permit
the relief of both Brussels and An
twerp.

ReiuvenatiOn of Aunt Mary

This great comedy written by
Anne Warner. and made famous by
May Robson, is considered by all to
be the sweetest and most inspiring
plays of our time. 1t is essentially
a play of character, the costuming
and stage pictures affording glimps-
es of the home of Aunt Mary, and
her old fashioned servants, ruled by
Aunt Mary.
This comedy has received enthusi-
astic support from clergymen.
teachers, club women and others out
side the ranks of the regular theatre
patrons. which accounts in a meas
ure for its remarkable success. This
excellent comedy will be seen at the
Miller Opera House on FRIDAY, Oct
9th, 1914. and the theatre goers of
Miller should not miss the oppor-
tunity Of seeing this great play.

The Battle of the Ants

The new type of warfare seems
to have developed in the Battle of
the AIsne. 1t might be called "un-
foreground fighting" 1t has trans
formed the antique strategy Of sap
pers and miners and turned field
operations into sieges
Over and over again. since the be,
ginning of the great three weeks
battle, we ha e had reports that an
army or a corps has taken W a GER
tain position and dug itself in"
The Germans inaugurated this
mode of defensive fighting when
they first fell back to the heights Of
the Alsne. Soon they had establish
ed the most elaborate system Of
trenches ever see on a battlefield.
Instead of the usual simple bitches
in which infantrymen stand facing
the enemy and resting their rifles on
the heaped ridges of earth, they
made a vast network of trenches.
Some we're left open for observation
and fighting purposes. Others were
rooted for protection against shells.
Others led from line to line under
ground 50 that soldiers might adj
vance or withdraw without exposing
themselves. Along with these there
were larger spaces followed in the
chalky clay for eating and sleeping
quarters, ana for food and ammuni-
ton supplies.
1t was, in fact. a great military
anthill. From a few hundred feet
away there was nothing visible ex-
cept an occasional pile of fresh dirt.
Beneath vas a city of soldiers, ready
at any moment to pour forth an
army ready for a charge. Such
works are almost immune from the
most devastating cannonade. The
defenders a only be driven out by
hand-to- hand fighting.
The allies took the hint from the
enemy, and likewise dug the m
selves in" though not so deliberately
The fighting for the last two weeks
has consisted for the most Fart of
prolonged and ineffective Smelling of
these underground defenses. with
occasional gains made by bayonet at
tact under cover of darkness.
1t is possible that the tactical les
son contributed to the art of var
fare by this greatest of all battles
will be just this the German system
of burrowipg into the ground for
defense against modern artillery

SUFFRAGE COLUMN
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE

We hear and read much in these
days of the tired business man.,
and if we venture to mention the
tired business woman, people
would probably picture at nee the
woman who works IN the Office or
factory. However. we believe it is
the woman in the home who is in
the highest sence the business wom-
an, and it is DIS necessary for her to
understand and help formulate the
laws of trade as it is for her sister
who works downtown.
There is oftentimes more of a
distinction made between house
wives and business women than the
difference in their lines of work
would warrant In discussing the
subject with women in the home it
is often brought out that there is a
longing to be among the worlds
workers, to be up and doing IN the
activities of business, to have a
share in helping to solve the prob
lens of the wage earners and, as it
is sometimes put, ito be doing
things
1t is sometimes a surprise when it
is pointed out that every one of
these desires NAV be met in the
home by the housewife. She is Ger
tainly one of the worlds best work
ers, for the home is the greatest in
stitution and the center Of modern
civilization. and it is there that she
reIgns as queen and in most homes
as the business manager.
Someone has well said that a
housekeeper's work is never done,
so she must always be up end dong
in its activities. and she is helping
one of the best and most effective
ways in solving the problems of
wage earners by educating and
training her children in the way that
will enable them to do the best work
when the time arrives for them to
leave school and venture forth to
meet the business world.
Can a woman be engaged in a
greater activity than to see that her
children r we'll housed. well cloth
ed. trained and educated? During
all the talk which Is heard regard
ing the high cost of living" one can
scarcely imagine more difficult finan.
ciai problems to work out than the
housewife has. and she is as truly d
business woman as the n who
works for success In any office or
store. The housing. clothing and
educating of the family is one Of the
biggest financial problems which
has to be worked out at present in
the majority of homes. and much Of
the work done in the business world
is for this end. but the handling OF
the MONEY and the proper distribu
ton OF 1t rests with the bushes:
manageable housewife.
