Land in that section is now worth

Musical Comedy for Miller

The management of the Miller
opera house has been fortunate in
arranging for the production of De
Meyer and DANES big musical revue
of 1915. In this city Monday, MAY

traction comes direct from the east
on their way to the coast and it is
considered one of the best produc.
t;cn or the road this season. Eddie
DeNoyer and Rosa DAME are two of
the most clever comedy performers
that have eyer made themselves dear
to the fun loving public. and are
we'll known in the east where they
have been featured In many of the
large musical comedy productions in
the larger cities. Both were featur,
ed in The Isle of Bong Bong
The Prince of Pilson," "Piff. Paff
Poof, and a great many others. The
company consists of twenty Metro

organization is the best known and
best equipped of anything Of it's
kind in the theatrical world. having
been presented in New York with
the original production of the mus

best costumed, the most skilful dane
ers in the city of New York. That
is what the New York Press had to
say for the m. And we all know
what the 1915 revue is. 1t was
written up in all the Chicago and
New York papers during their run
there. This is without a doubt the
largest theatrical production that has
ever stopped at Miller. The COM

this state, going direct to Tocoma

A CHILD NEEDS
YOUR ERNEST HELP
DO Something For The Little
Ones Today

Are you too busy too help the
children? Or do you intend to do
things" for them some tlme-when
too late? Here are some very liz
teresting and timely suggestions,
taken from the Faulkton Advocate:
Let your mind wander back a
few years bring up the pictures of
infancy to your %eye-apply them to
the lives of the little ones Of to-
day.
They need your consideration.
With the advent of warm DAYS an
irresistible longing for the open air
fills the heart Of the child.
1t is but one of the demands of
nature seeking its Logical outlet.
Life is sweet to them, and the sun
shine is one of the brightest spots of
life. Let them bask in it. Let
them breathe the pure air, for the
oxygen thus obtained strenthens
their lungs and adds ruggedness to
their young constitutions.
Buy them soft balls and encour-
age them to catch and pitch them.
Every throw, every catch. exercises
and strengthens, and develops the
growing and forming muscles.
Let them run, romp and play. En-
courage them in all wholesome
sports, lest a stunted growth in in
fancy retard their progress in later
life.
Every hour at play, every moment
in the sunshine and in the open air,
means better health, a stronger IN
t~ellect, and a more manly and
womanly physique.
But think of something besides
their physical being. Consider their
mental development, give heed to
their moral surroundings, enhance
the pleasures of their daily life with
a wholesome diet of good cheer.
Do not ignore them when you meet.
A pleasant word said or a kind deed
done to a little one has been known
to last throughout life itself, fur
nishing a green spot in memory
which never fades. Gradually inn
press upon their minds the fact that
they are to be the men and women
of the coming generation, that the
world will be as they make 1t, that
their progress of today Will Indicate
their status later in life. Teach
them the value of truth. and let
them understand that a lie is the
abomination of all honorable people.
Avoid harshness and neglect
Keep a smile on their lips and joy in
their eyes, for the facial expressions
OF infancy are often carried through
life. instlii into their little hearts
the gladstone knowledge that you
are not the stern parent. but rather
the loving companion, friend, con-
fidante and PLAYMATE.
Teach them the value of respect
for their elders, that IN after years
they may command the respect of
others.
Keep them in the sunshine and
the open air. for sun and air are the
greatest physicians of the universe.
Remember they are young, and
easily influenced, and that they have
feelings as easily hurt as your own.
Treat them as you Yearned to be
treated when you were a child. 1t
is a little thing for you to do, but
its influence upon posterity is be-

BUILDING
ON EAST SIDE
Some Rivalry in Lines to be
Graded

Washington Times-Mention was
made in these columns a couple of
weeks ago about the proposal Of the
two counties, Hard and Beadle and
the four townships going together
to put in a good road on the county
line for a distance of twelve miles
south from Washington. The senti-
ment on the Beadle county side Of
the line seems to be unanimous in
favor of the proposition and there
seems no doubt at all but the county
will appropriate its $25 per mile and
the townships their $50, or whatever
amount Is needed, but over on the
other side there is some little opposi-
ton, particularly on the west side of
Rose Hill twp. A petition was got
ten up late Saturday afternoon and
by Monday evening q residents of
southwest country had signed it,
only three who were approached re-
fusing to give it their sanction.
The petition was given to Commits
sioner RCwen who was to present it
to the Hand County Board at their
special session on that day. = =
Commissioner Rowen returned
Wednesday evening from the board
meeting in Miller with the very
gratifying news that the old petition
which had been sent up last fall ask
ing for county aid in grading the
north and south road a mile west of
the county line had been dug up and
passed upon by the board. 1t will
be remembered that the Township
boards of Rose Hill and Hubert met
with a committee from the Wessing-
ton Commercial Club early last fall
to discuss the possibility of putting
in this road. If the publisher of
this paper, who was present at that
session, remembers correctly, the
proposition finally agreed upon was
as follows: Rose Hill agreed to run
the road north from Sand Creek to
the Hubert l'ne at their own ex.
pense, asking no assistance what
ever. Hubert agreed to stand one
half of the expense of the six miles
through that township, providing
the other half could be arranged for
either from the county or from n
other source. and the Committee
from the Commercial Club promised
to use its influence to try to raise
the necessary amount.
VayIand Correspondence to Times
Several Of the good farmers from
the townships south of Us went to
Miller Tuesday and met with the
County Commissioners relative to
grading g road from this town to
the south line. They came back
with the assurance that the county
was ready to do their share at any
time. and will pay forty per cent of
the cost, if the townships will pay
balance, which in this case, would
amount to only 30 per cent for each
adjoining township, and this is a
very small amount when the benfit
is considered.

Tyranny of the Tailor.

Tailors are growing as tyrannical
as dressmakers. A West end tailor
told me quite seriously that he habit
ually declined to make a dress suit for
any customer who would not consent
to have his shirts specially cut so as
to insure the correct fit of the waist
coat. He added that he had refused
to sell lounge suits to several would-be
customers who were quite willing to
pay the high price demanded, simply
because in his opinion, their poor
physique or doubtful sartorial distinc'
ton would be a bad advertisement for
his clothes.
Every man who wears his new suits
must discard every tie he already pos
sesses, and purchase special ties OF the
same pattern as the suits, but two
shades-he emphasized this point
two shades darker. Well, well!-Lon'
don Express.

Don't Let the
Christmas
Shopping
Dollar Go Out
of Town
Established 1888

IT'S as plain as a pikestaff that the dollar
you take out of town seldom m
back. Ii you spend your dollar in town
it stays here. 1t circulates in the cOmmu-
nifty. 1t is a living thing. The dollar goes
to the butcher, the baker. 1t goes to the
printer. The local merchant with whom
you spend it pays it out in wages. 1t makes
for the individual well being. 1t makes for
the community well being.
Therefore circulate your Christmas dol
lars in town. Be a community builder. 1t
might be well to emphasize the fact that you
cannot do any better out of town than you
can right here with our local merchants.
With that fact confronting you, why
hesitate about spending your Christmas dol
lars with the home merchants? The local
merchants are progressive and a part of the
community in which you live and in which
you are vitality interested. They'll give you
value received for every dollar you spend.
Besides, they'll circulate that dollar of
yours in town. 1t will stay here. If you
take it out of town you are iniuring the
community. You are injuring your neigh
Dor. You are injuring yourself.
Circulate your dollar here.
Do your Christmas shopping in the home
stores.
