live STOCK MARKET
ATTRACTS BUYERS
Thousands of Dollars Coming into
County Through Sale Of
Live Stock

One of the big institutions of Miller
is the local live stock market which
has grown to proportions equalled by
few towns in the state. Hardly a day
passes but what many cattle, horses
and hogs are delivered to the shipping
yards, where they are sold to outside
or local buyers.
The process of cutting out, weigh
ing, loading, ETC., require the work Of
a number of men and their activity
and experiences is an interesting sight
to the uninitiated. To the men engag-
ed in this business 1t is a fascinating
game. They "size up" each animal,
talk of the breeding and quality, and
guess upon the weight, value, etc.
Those thousands of people who are
eagerly watching every play Of the
big world series ball games in New
York and Chicago have nothing on the
live stock devotees. To them their
game is just as thrilling. in addition
to being their regular business.
This local market has become as
we'll known in other states as in South
Dakota, and buyers from Illinois.
Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Ne
braska come here for their supply of
live stock.
The amount of money required in
this local market runs into many
thousands of dollars. On several sale
days the total days business has
passed beyond the $4,000 mark both
at Miller and st. Lawrence, which to
outside buyers, at least, are consider
ed to be practically the same market.

The aMighty Ford" Again

Everybody's-A gentleman who
was visiting his lawyer for the pur--
pose of making his will, insisted that
a final request be attached to the
document. The request was, that his
Ford car be buried with him after
he died. His lawyer tried to make
him see how absurd this vas but
failed. SO he asked the gentleman's
wife to use her influence with him.
She did the best she could, but also
had to admit failure.
"well, john. she said finally. tell
me. why you want your Ford a bur-
iedwith you"
because l have never gotten into a
hole yet but what my Ford could pull
me out" was the reply.
