Bargain Day

Saturday was a yeritable bargain
day among the Miller stores, and a
considerable crowd of people took
advantage of the opportunity to lay
in goods and supplies. The mer-
chants followed the custom now so
general IN city stores of gathering
together a lot Of slow moving goods,
and cutting the prices so low on
them that they became real bar.

would have a lot of odds and ends
in his stock of mems shirts which
had been on his shelves for some
time. They were shirts that Or
dinarily retail at 81 to $3.50. All
these shirts need to make them as
good as new was relaundring. They
were punched in lots and marked at
% to 35 cts.
Another merchant for instance,
would display a large accumulation
of shoes. They were left overs in
sizes or STYLES, and could not be sold
alongside Of latest styles. These 81

pair.
These bargains were readily sold,
and merchants made room for new
goods. The purchasers are satisfied
that they did well. and it is presum.

with the result. 1t must be one OF

Miller Bow Is Popular

Dell Mccoy, a graduate of M. H.
S. was elected President of the stu
dents association of South Dakota
State College at Brookings in the
election held last week. This dis
tinction is considered among college
people the greatest honor the stu
dent body can bestow upon one of
its members and Dell's popularity is
shown in the fact that his opponent
in the close race, is captain of the
track team and holder of record
Javelin throw in the Dakotas and
Minnesota.
The Industrial Collegeian, the col
lege paper says:
Mccoy, of Miller. will be the
first Junior president the associa-
ton has had for a number of years.
Not withstanding the fact hat next
year will be his first on the board of
control he is undoubtedly just the
man to be president of the Student
Association"

ROYAL GWENT
WELSH SINGERS
Pleased q Fair Sized Audience at
the Opera House Tuesday Night

The Royal event Chorus of Welsh
singers appeared in concert at the
Miller opera house Tuesday evening
and although the audience was not
large, those who heard them were
loud in their praise of these talented
musicians, as was shown by the en-
thusiastic applause with which each
number was received. This Welsh
choir is composed of twelve male
voices and with their director and
accompanies, in addition to these,
they gave a song recital, the quality
of which is seldom heard in a town
the size of Miller. Their program
was well chosen, consisting of sever
al light numbers, plantation mel.
odies. martial music and selections
from the classics in oratorio and
opera. The fine quality Of the in
dividual voices was shown in their
solo and duet numbers. and the
chorus reached its climax in their
splendid rendition of the SeXtette
from Lucia and the Hallelujah
chorus from the Messiah.
1t is to be regretted that more of
Miller's music lovers who like some
thing really good, did not hear
them.

Eiremen's Call

Every property owner in Miller
should answer the firemen's call for
help by buying a ticket to their
dance Monday. This volunteer fire
department needs help and encour-
agement once in awhile from the
citizens. And to keep them or
ganized, ready and willing to work
whenever property ls in danger,
at the rate of 81 from each one of
US is a mighty good investment for
a very small outlay. No difference
about using the ticket; buy it any,
how, and do what you please with
it-but bu, it.

OBITUARY

here, we hear at once that they are
withdrawing the bulk of their troops
from the west front. and | absolute
ly believe that the majority of the
plain soldiers over here think that
they are fighting the greater part of
the German army. If the Germans
had here half what they are credit
ed with, they would long since have
had Warsaw, and by this time have
been well on their way toward Pet
rograd. if they wanted that dismal
citv. AS for the number and the
size of the guns accredited to the
Germans, there is no limit to the
imagination which describes them.
If a s,hrapnel bursts near one of
the Red Cross assistants, he immed-
lately concludes that it is at least a
10-inch projectile; and if he sees a
lot Of them burst, the story cIrcu-
lates here next dav that the German
guns are more than half Of the lar
gest type.
Even the younger Russian officers
delight in magnifying the artillery
of the enemy. One told me the
other day that q certain shell hole
that we were examining was made
by a 42-cen imeter shell. when it
certainly was nothing more import
ant than the projectile from a At.
1t may be imagined, then. how
difficult it becomes for the GORE.
spondent to piece together the
thousand fragments of new and
get anything like a true estimate of
the situation taken as a whole. If
one stays in Warsaw. one runs the
risk of being absolutely led astrav;
and when one manages to get out to
the fiont itself, all perspective is
entirely lost.
