sells at a reasonable price. One
man. who beat his way" out there
thirty years ago, now has a fine big
farm of a thousand acres, some of
the finest blooded stock in the state,
money in the bank, an automobile
and every comfort and advantage
that money can buy for his family.
There is a strong. firm bond of
fellowship and friendship existing
between men, who, for thirty years
thru bad times and good, have stood
side by side in the development of
their county and IN the building of
their community. They are a fine
lot of folks, big. hearted. and with a
glad hand and a good word for
everybody.
The Chautauqua is held under the
auspices of the Commercial Club
and this organization of progressive
Miller business men has one of the
best appointed club rooms to be
found anywhere. In many ways
their rooms resemble the Elk's
Rooms at Litchfeld.
Of course there are barren spots

bought at fair prices. and he will

Child labor is virtually banished

countries is done by adults and not
by the soft hands of tiny children.

Strike or No Strike

Tomorrow representatives of the

before President Wilson in an effort
to arrange their differences and avoid

every railroad in the middle west

july Weather

The review on July weather just
issued by the Huron weather office
confirms the impression that most
of us had that the month just past
was about the hottie st July on record.
The government report records only
two others since the establishment
of the bureau in 1881, wherein the
average temperature remainded so
high throughout the month
Sunday, July 26th, the mercury
reached l02 degrees above, which
was the hottest day. There were %
clear DAYS on which the u shone
without a cloud and 3 partly cloudy
days. Precipitation at Huron
amounted to SO inches from the
rain on the 5th. In this immediate
locality this amount was about doubl-
ed as a result of the rain on the 18th.

GREAT EUROPEAN WAR
NOW In PROGRESS
France, Russia and England Linked T,
gether
And Opposed by Germany, Austria and
Italy

A great European war, talked
about and expected for years, now
appears to be a realization. The
European powder magazine has f.
nally exploded.
Reports from the seat OF trouble
claim that Austro-H Hungary declared
war against little Servia. and that
their troops are already fighting;
that Germany has invaded France,
that Russia is mobilizing; that Eng
land is preparing to join France and
Russia; that Italy and Turkey will
probably JOIN Germany and Austria.
All Of these countries have great
standing armies, with immense re-
serve forces, and military experts
predict the most terrible war known
in the history of civilized nations.
They have gone on preparing for
war for so long that 1T had to come.
Their war training and influence is
much like the individual who always
carries a gun in his hip pocket.
Sooner or later that gun will get
him into trouble, because he is pre-
pared" and won't let any one step
on his toes. Each Of these nations
thinks it is better prepared than It's
neighbor.
The supposed beginning was the
killing of the heir to the Austro-
Hungarian throne by Servian stu
dents. Austria made severe de-
mands upon Servia for investigation
punishment and damages. oervia
refused to comply. Servia is a
Slavic nation, and Austria is Ger
man. Russia informed Austria that
the territorial integrity Of Servia
must be maintained. after the set
tlement of the Austria Servian dis
pute. and Russia began a partial
mobilization of her army. Then
Germany stepped in with a demand
for Russia to stop mobilizing and
another "a hour demand for France
to state whether or not she would
remain neutral.
After this it appears that all these
countries. including Great Britain,
considered it time to get ready to
take advantage of any opportunity
presented. Each step taken b, each
country alarmed the others, hence
all we're quickly moving across the
line of peace into actual war.
America Of course will be neutral
in this great conflict. and furnish all
of her surplus food and war mater
ial to the warring nations-at a good
big price.
Thousands of American tourists
we're caught in the various countries
where banks refused to cash their
money orders. letters of credit, etc..
and many steamships cancelled their
dates of sailing. Efforts are icing
made by American consuls and am
bassadors in the various countries
to take care of their countrymen,
and to help get them started home
ward.
The first encounter on sea was be-
tween minor fleets of Germany and
Russia. The Germans captured one
ship, and the others ran away.
A considerable number of German
troops invaded France. and were
repulsed with heavy loss.
