COLONEL DECLINES
PROG. NOMINATION
His Action Considered the End Of
Progressive Party

Auditorium, Chicago, June TO-
Colonel Roosevelt was nominated to-
day by the progressive national con-
vention after four days Of uproar
and tumult in which the delegates
never wavered in allegiance or cast
a passing glance upon another man.
Three minutes before the con-
vention adjoured until another time,
CHAIRMAN Raymond Robins read to
them q brief message from Oyster
Bay. in which Mr. Roosevelt declined
to accept the nomination at this
time. Few of the thousands in the
vast auditorium. some Of whom had
seen the colonel named in an even
wilder burst of enthusiasm four
years ago, realized when Robbins
raped his gaveI at 4:58 and declar-

the discussions of a platform with
which it must go into the field, if at

mocracy and republicanism.
None of the feeling that some of
the latter betrayed when they had

$4,000 FARM SALE
in WESTERN HAND


A few DAYS after Noah finished the
AK a young man and his bride set
tied in Campbell twp. on the western
edge of Hand county. This Young
man had what clothes he had on, a
pleasant smile and his nerve. With
the good wife to encourage him and
help to raise their family. they went
through it all, the ups and downs of
those early days-mostly downs
and never to be forgotten bv those
hardy settlers who blazed the trail
for later generations.
He took up government land, and
kept 1T. The fact that for several
years he couldn't give it away may
have been a contributory cause or
reason for keeping it. But the fact
remains that he did keep it, until
last week. Then he sold his half
section farm for S31.25 per acre to

Mr.. Runkle also bought the fine
bunch of horses raised on the place,
numbering Is head, the hogs. chick
ems. machinery, etc, at a good price,
all together making a small fortune
for this worthy pioneer. A good
bunch of cattle was sold off the place
to BUYERS just prior to this sale.
The horses alone sold from this farm
in the past FIVE years totaied S $500.
This successful farmer is John
Sutfin, well known to all of the older
settlers of western Hand and eastern
Hyde county. The only cloud upon
this splendid elimination of years of
toll is the sad fact that the faithful
helpmate of Mr.. Sutfn passed away
a couple of years ago. The children
were all grown and struck out for
themselves. Mr.. Sutfn. left alone.

it is with mingled feelings of pleas

chapter is written. The final success
of our old friend is we'll earned, end

ficent example of patient, cheerful,
courageous effort IN spite of handi-

old reader keep his farm until he
realized a good price, it is satisfied

Hughes and Fairbanks

The PRESS is naturally pleased over
the selection of Justice Hughes as
the republican choice for president.
1t laws claim to having been one of
the originals" because it humbly
suggested more than a year ago that
he was the party's most available
man for the 1916 campaign. His
running mate is Fairbanks. former
vice president with Roosevelt. The
one from New York, and the other
from Indiana. MAKE ideal locations.
Upon these two men and the very
progressive platform adopted all re.
publicans should be able to unite

leaders. 1t was more to these men
to re-unite their party than it was to
secure the nomination. Their action
is the gratifying result hoped for by
nearly all elements of the G. O. P.
The two great parties will again
face each other with the best they
have as candidates, and present their
issues for the voters to approve or
reject.

history making life. the republican

Miller 7, Pierre 6

The local ball team won the second
game from Pierre Sunday at the
state capital. by a margin of one
score, but it took eleven innings to
decide the contest. The first game
between these two clubs at Miller
was a 81 battle. and the second a
7.6 contest into two extra innings
While Miller won both games, it is
evident that the teams are closely
matched.
The next game of the locals is ad-
vertised for today at Hitchcock. On
Saturday they will again meet the
fast Faulkton club at the old settlers
picnic, Burdette. for a purse of SIS.

Depot Facilities
Unequal to Demand

The C. & N. w. depot at Miller is
unequal to the demands made upon
it by the increasing business. The
Company has recently gwen the
public ar accommodation in electric
lights, ana it is hoped they will soon
grant the general wish for better
depot accommodations, which are
actually needed.
When Tuesdays noon passenger
train from the east arrived. the
passengers getting on and off the
train could barely squeeze through
the piles of freight scattered all
over the platform. There were
boxes of freight. well piping, wind
mills. wagons. barn towers. sacks Of
wool. and a general assortment of
out going and incoming freight on
the old platform. now too small for
the long trains. The local employees
were not to blame. either. for this
condition, because the freight room
was full. and two drays were load.
ing and hauling freight.
The old depot and platform should
be wholly devoted to freight. for
which it is very we'll adapted. A
new and modern passenger depot
should be built on the west
side of Main street close to the
railroad park"
Miller is one of the best c. & N.

and Rainfall.
First Half of June

The first half of June gives a re-
cord of close to two inches OF ram
fall nicely distributed. This is also
very near the record for the CORES
ponding period of 1915.
The third week in June shows an
excellent crop stand. Small grain
is growing very nicely. alfalfa is a
fine stand, and q great deal of corn
is up. Some Of the latest corn
planting was not finished. however
until last week. That would appear
very late to an Iowa or Illinois
corn planter. but sometimes June
planting is the best here.

SOCRATES OR THE IA
Bile OF THE LOAFER

Once upon a time there was
"good-for-nothing," who refused to
follow his fathers trade of stone
cutter and became a loafer. He was
fat and ugly, with short bull-neck,
round, ball head, thick lips, pro-
truding eyes and snub nose. He
spent his time talking, with whom
soever would listen to him. He re-
spected no one, rich or poor. He
loved a joke, went barefooted and
allowed his clothes to become soil
ed. He spent most of his time
drinking at the public drinking
place. Finally he married, but in
stead of reform ng his ways, he
continued to loaf along the streets,
talking, and refused to earn money
to support himself and his wife.
Frequently the woman could be
seen leading him through the
streets by the ear, berating him
soundly with her tongue, and fire.
quently with a broomstick. That
man was Socrates---the wisest man
the world hsa ever seen. He had
the greatest brain of any man who
has ever lived. He was the father
OF philosophers--the greatest of
thinkers.
