Christmas Package For Grandma

She stepped up to the postoffice
window and handed the postmaster
a red card which contained the line:
Call for Package" She was not a
tall, lissome, graceful heroine, with
skirt as high as the high cost Of liv-
ing and waist as low as last weeks
thermometer. She was a bit stopped,
her hand trembled a little as she
eagerly awaited the postmaster's
search among a scramble of Christ
mas packages, but it wa interesting to
see the gray eyes nee so blue, light
up as the postmaster came forward
with her package. And it would have
~percolated under the hide Of anything
but a human rhineoserous to see the
mist come over those dear old eyes
as she opened the package and pulled
out a dainty handkerchief. 1t was
not much larger than a postage stamp

LIQUOR LEGISLATION
Is TO Be DRASTIC
Ahti-Saieon League Outlines Featur-
es Of Bill to Go Before the
State Legislature

Mitchell, Dec. pa meeting was
held at the Anti-Saloon League rooms
last Monday for the purpose of con
sidering the provisions to be included
in the draft for the proposed prohi-
bition law to be submitted to the leg
~islature when it meets at Pierre next
month. The meeting was attended by
a number of prominent lawyers of
Mitchell and other cities of the state
and also a number of the members
elect of the legislature. There was
also present III. Fl. Sawyer, attorney
for the Iowa Anti-Saloon League, of
Des Moines, Ia, and Wayne b.
Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon League of America, from
Washington, ID. C..
A full law was not drafted but a
number of general principles we're
decided upon. 1t is probable that the
law which will receive the backing of
the state temperance forces will re-
quire druggists to secure a permit be-
fore they can sell Intoxicating liquors
for any purpose and that only pure
alcohol will be permitted to be sold
for medical, mechanical and scientific
purposes and wine for sacramento.
Physicians prescriptions will be re-
Quired for the sale of alcohol for
medical purposes and a sworn affida-
Wit for the sale of alcohol for mechan-
ical and scientific and wine for sacra-
mental purposes. Druggists viii be
required to file reports with a county
officer showing a complete record of
all their liquor sales each month.
All liquor advertising through the
newspapers, magazines or bill boards
will be prohibited.
The amount of liquor that one NAV
receive or possess in any given month
will be limited to a very small quaint
ty, probably one quart.
Injunction and abatement proceed
ings will be provided for against any
person selling liquor unlawfully
against the owner of the building and
against the building itself.
. 1t is proposed to provide for a
heavy fine with the alternative of a
Jail sentence for first conviction and
a ~penitentiary s%entance for the second
and each subsequent offence.

XMAS FESTIVITIES
ATTRACT AS USUAL
Young And Old Enjoy Yuletide Enter
tainments

The Christmas programs given by
the local churches this year attracted
large crowds of grownups as well as
children, and were among the best
ever given here on a similar occasion.
On Saturday evening the Methodist
exercises were conducted at the
Opera House which was filled to the
seating capicity by friends and rela-
tives of the little folks taking part.
A number of choir selections and
class choruses were features of the
program preceding the childrens
Cantata. This little Christmas play,
"The Spinners Dream" with it's home
like stage settings, the fairies in their
brightand airy costumes, the shep-
herds and the wise men presented a
beautiful spectacle, all of which was
evidence of the immense amount Of
labor expended by those in charge of
the entertainment. The decorations
were elaborate, including two very
large trees al either side of the stage.
The same evening the Christian
Sunday school held exercises at their
church which consisted of a miscell-
aneous program, a tree, and treat for
the children.
The Presbyterian program was Civ
en- Sunday evening at the church be-
fore a crowded house. The exercises
consisted of music and readings and
closed with a cantata by the children.
The church was beautifully decorated
with a tree in addition and a treat
for the young people.
Regular Christmas services were
conducted at st. Annes Catholic
church On Christmas morn by Rev.
Father Duffy.

1t is rather a remarkable coincid-
ence that the first boy settler of Hand
county should win first prize for pro-
ducing the best dent corn in Central
South Dakota thirty-fve years after
he set foot upon this broad prairie,
then known upon the maps as the
Great American Desert. But this
distinction actually came to j. ID.
Miller this week in a report from the
First National Corn Show of the
Northwest, held at st. Paul.
The best dent corn grown in ten
counties of Central South Dakota was
produced by Mr.. Miller, on his farm
just south of this town, according to
the First National Corn Show. Com
petitors at this annual show of the
northwest are divided into districts to
give about equal climatic conditions.
District No. 4 of South Dakota com-
prises the counties Of Campbell,
Edmonds, Mcpherson, Walworth, Pot
ter, Sully, Faux, Hughes, Hyde. and
Hand. His exhibit of dent corn won
first prize, and a handsome silver
cup.
1t is eminently proper that this
honor should come to Hand county
and to Doug" Miller, on corn gather
ed from his farm in Mile twp in
September, 1916. He is the last ard
only resident member Of the band of
26 men who arrived at this particular
point in the great terriSocy Of Dakota
thirty-five years before. September,
1881, to establish the town which
bears his name, and begin the devel-
opment of Hand county and central
South Dakota. Doug" himself was
a boy then. The colony of original
settlers including his father Henry
Miller, and his brothers William H.
and Eudel j. The father and william
passed away several years ago, and
Eudel resides in San Diego, Cal.
There may be others of this first col
ony still living, but their residence is
unknown. They established this
town, secured a station on the newly
built c. & N. w. railroad as near the
geographical center of Hand county
as possible, and began the prelimin-
airy work for settlement and develop
ment. 1t is an interesting coincid-
ence that this last remaining resident
of that original colony should be the
winner OF a corn growing prize thirty
five years later-the realization of a
boyhood dream after more than a
third of a century.
