Tried to XII! Morgan

Frank Holt, a crank, tried to kill
j. P. Morgan, the financier. at his
home near New York City. He got
into the Morgan home and fired two
bullets into Morgan. but they were
not fatal wounds. The doctors saw
Morgan will recover. The crank
was a professor at Cornell university
and conceived the idea that he was
appointed by the Lord to stop the
war. He said that he did not want
to kill Morgan. but wanted to make
him stop the shipping of var mater
ials from this country to the allies.
Holt was born in Wisconsin, of Ger,
man descent. He also tried to blow
up the Senate chamber at Washing
ton recently with a bomb. He is {
crazy crank.

Bryan a Candidate

Sioux Falls Argus That Colonel
Bryan is likely to be a candidate for
the democratic nomination for the
presidency against his former chief,
and that he will crowd upon the at
tention Of democratic voters the one
term plank Of the Baltimore plat
form is the gossip in Washington.
1t is rrported that before Colonel
BRYAN left Washington he talked
with many friends about the 1916
campaign and gave them the i'm
preston that he intended to be a
candidate"
The Argus Leader had the feeling,
at the time Mr. Bryan left the state
department. that the real motive was
his own ambition for the presidential
nomination rather than his dissatis-
faction with the note to Germany.
The former secretary of state was,
in other words, looking for an excuse
to break with Wilson, and the time
had arrived for him to leave the
cabinet il he was to be a candidate-
The note to Germany formed the
excuse; domestic politics was the
real reason.
1t is said that President Wilson
does not consider himself It AL bound
by the so-called one-term pledge.
The president will b acandidate for
the denomination. IL is growing
more likely each day that Colonel
BRYAN will also BEL candidate before
the conventjon. The peerless leader
can hardly hope to win deleratea
enough - secure the nomination.
He mixht secure enough to defeai
the ZE4lZdent. There are going n
beF99Ene lively tamcs ahead IN demo,

MILLER, SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 3. IoIs.
RIFLE DISCARDED
WAR PREDICTION
To Be Replaced By New Machine
Gun

A number of changes in meth.
DDS have grown out of the present
struggle. so that war is no longer
what it was a few years ago. The
latest innovation is the use of ma.
chine guns. with which one man can
stand off a whole company of infan-
try,
The following description of pres
ent methods comes in a correspond
ence from Rotterdam, June 29th:
Military experts here are of the
opinion that it is highly probable the
present war will see the end of the
rifle as the principal weapon of in.
fantry.
According to German agents in
Holland the German army is rapidly
substituting men armed with ma
chine guns in place of rifles. Men so
armed, and protected by concrete
works and wire entanglements, can
hold off a long line of the enemy.
The tendency, it is said, is to bring
up main forces of infantry only in
emerencies
At the beginning Of the war, Ger.
many was credited with having so, 00C
machine guns. Notwithstanding
some heavy losses of these weapons,
the factories have been working day
and night and it is now asserted that
the number being used on the var
ious fronts IS twice that total.
A German agent IN Rotterdam is
quoted thus by the correspondent:
Where is there any sound argu-
ment against the gradual substitu-
ton of the light machine gun for the
rifle? After all, a Maxim is merely
an improved automatic rifle with a
water jacket. A man who could fire
a kicking gun of the period of 1916
could ire and carry a Maxim with
less effort. Are we not told that in
the old days the concentrated fire on
one side of an English square emptied
less than a score of French saddles
at effective range? One modern
machine gun would have wiped out
the whole squadron.
I'm modern warfare and partlcul-
arly in trench warfare, the soldier
who can fire a hundred shots to his
opponents five. has 95 chances of
coming out unscathed. The German
soldier prefers the machine gun to
the rifle! 1t enables him to sit down
comfortably and squirt death at the
foe as water is squirted through a
hose, and it gives him that sense of
superiority and security which the
possession of a superior weapon al
ways brings to the fighting man."

Mr. John Ruff, of Ohio twp. has
had a double misfortune. in the loss
of his other leg. He was again
taken to the Pierre hospital where
the first leg was amputated. and the
doctors said it was necessary to take
off the other one to save his life.

tune with fortitude and courage.

OVER FORTY?
EXERCISE TO LIVE
Too Lazy to Exercise Ends Many
Lives

/ Minneapolis Journal-Degenera.
tive diseases belong to civilization.
They are those of the kidneys. the
liver, the tissues, such as savages
rarely die of. They are consequent
upon the manner of life incident to
a highly organized society. They
are artificial. so to speak. and are
attacking especially American men
over forty.
Medical science has virtually dis
posed of the plaques and pestilences
that were the great slayers of past
generations. 1t has fairly conquer
ed typhoid or is on the way to do so,
and it knows how to grapple with
tuberculosis. But more men over
forty today r dying of the degen-
erative diseases Of the tissues than
was the ase thirty years ago. Med
ical science can do little as against
such diseases. since they are not &C.
casioned by microbes that can be
killed.
But medical science gives advice
which if followed. will operate to
prevent OF to DELAY degeneration of
the tissues. The advice is summed
up IN one word: "Exercise!" Men
over forty are dying, many of them,
because they do not exercise. refuse
to exercise, are to lazy physically to
exercise. Men over forty by exer-
else can, many Of them. prolong
their lives. Theirs is the option:
Death or exercise.
Riding in motor cars isn't exercise
it is merely fresh air. Bowling
while drinking alcohol and smoking
tobacco isn't exercise that counts.
Neither is violent exercise required
and perhaps is not expedient. In
deed. the best exercise for a man
over forty is that provided by walk
ing. A man over forty who walks
five miles every day prolongs his life
hv years.
Upon the pleasures to be had by
walking the Journal has animadvert-
ed before. The pleasures cost little
and they are such as grow upon the
walker.
The JapaI.e csc have a saying. that
every man of forty who has not
learned to be his own physician is a
fool. ANY man does know by ex-
perience what agrees with him and
what does not. But not every man
has the resolution to eschew what is
not good for him and to pursue that
alone which is good for him.
There is scarcely 3 man who. if he
once gives walking a good trial, will
ever consent to go back to sitting,
lounging, standing around. City
streets are interesting, as there ar e
the people in them and the sights.
A good two mile walk from home to
business in the morning and back
two miles again to dinner will save
life.

STATES WEALTH
LEADS ALL OTHERS
Chicago Paper Sums Up So. Da-
kota's Wealth

c. c. Browsfield, writing for the
Chicago Sunday Herald:--"With
0 1000 farmers who own on the aver
age 800 acres and have property
amounting to more than SIG, 600
each, South Dakota is the wealthlest
OF the states, per capita. Other
industries are keeping pace with
agriculture and the state in the last
IL years has produced more per-
manent wealth for each iphabitant
than any other part of the world.
South Dakota's progress is due to
various causes. The state is favor
ably situated to the great markets
of the middle west.
1t contains 10000 square miles
and has little wasted territory. The
vast area of prairie land produces
fine crops of corn, wheat. alfalfa,
etc., while the hills and mountains
are flcn with Rold, silver, marble,
coal and timber.
AS a grazing country it is unsur-
passed, having an unlimited amount
of luxuriant native grasses and
being abundantly watered.
Diversity Insures Wealth
South Dakota never really began
to prosper until the people took up
the principle of crop diversity. Corn
and live stock have been brot to the
front until they exceed wheat al
though this is a famous hard wheat
belt.
The principal items of production
in that state for 1919 were.

DOUBLE HEADER
4th CELEBRATION
st. Lawrence On Saturday And
Orient on Monday

The national holiday was duly cele-
brated in this community~more
than duly. IN fact. because the CAL
endar located it on Sunday, which
gave a preference of Saturday or
Monday.
Miller had no celebration, and most
of her citizens went to st. Lawn ence
Saturday. where a large crowd gath
cred. They we're accompanied by
the city band and ball club.
The customary celebration was
enjoyed-speaking. singing, fire.
crackers and lemonade. Judge
Simmons of Huron made the address
in his usual graceful and eloquent
way.
Perhaps the stellar attraction was
the ball game between Huron and
Miller for a purse of SIS. won by
Miller.
On Monday a large number of
Millerites accompanied the band and
ball team to Orient to help north
Hand and south Faux express their
patriotism for Americas day of days.
Residents of that town said they had
the largest crowd ever gathered
together there at a like occasion.
There were close to one hundred
automobiles in the little CITY, repre-
senting a value of more than SIS, 900.
Governor Frank Byrne made the
address. talking to his old neighbors
as one of them, and mixed with the
proletarlot with the freedom and
democracy known only to rulers in
this land of the free and independent.
The sports were of the usual kind,
baseball, horse racing, foot racing,
etc, all greatly enjoyed by a happy
well dressed crowd determined upon
having a good time.
Several Millerites also went to
Highmore to enjoy the celebration
and chautauqua.
The country between Miller and
Orient never looked better in the
way of crops. pastures, sleek cattle.
spirited horses. and fat hogs. And
for several miles particularly just
south of Orient, beautiful homes
dot the landscape-big white houses,
bigger red barns. Each farm con
tanned from three to sevens quarters
of land three to nine youngsters
who will take it where the old folks
leave off. and make it blossom even
more than it does today
And the crowds of happy. we'll
clothed young BOYS and girls seer IN
great numbers both at st. Lawrence
and Orient NEAR a great deal to the
future of this locality. The devel-
opment of today has been made
practically in one generation. by the
hardy pioneers with very little re-
sources at the beginning of their
work. In the next generation their
children and their children's child
e can make a developed common
wealth of South Dakota second to
none of the prairie states. Such
things are not done in a month, or a
year. Nor was Rome built IN a day.
Here. on these broad prairies. is
the opportunity for every boy born
IN South Dakota-if he has nerve,
persistence and determination. If
he lacks these qualities which marked
the lives of his parents. he does not
deserve the love and help of one of
those handsome and sensible girls
who helped HIM celebrate the fourth,
and who knows no other home than
South Dakota.

ernoon. Both games were One-sided
the only difference being that one was
more so than the other. The juniors
completely Outclassed the first year
ties and gave them only q few shots
at the baskets. Their team play and
passing was of the highest order.
Sophomores offered more resistance
to the seniors than the freshies did to
the juniors and their game was the
best of the evening. Madelon Shidler
and Ruth Cole did the best work for
the upper class team, while Agatha
Clarke and Katherine Cole were the
stars of the soph squad. Elsa Weder

Zilky sustained a badly strained
side during practice Monday night
and unless il showed decided improve

Elkhart. ZilIy's absence will be sore
ly missed as he has developed into the
best man yet tried at the pivot job.
With Zilky out either Myers or Gar

other regular will be in his place
when the whistle blows and local fans
are confident of a win over the blue
