NEW co. COMMISSIONER

On December 4th there will be a
joint meeting OF the County Commits
sioners, the County Auditor, and the
County Judge, as an appointing
board. TO select a successor TO the
late J. w. Heltibridle, Chairman OF
the County Commissioners, who rep
resented the Second Commissioners
District.
This district comprises the. town
ships Of Logan, Miller, Alpha, Flor
ence, and the city Of Miller. 1t Is
the most popusous district OF the five
within the county. In fact the city
alone &c: s.gc!en. population To
entitie 1t to one member of the board.
The County Commissioners come
more or less within the scope OF po-
litical selection. and Mr.. Heltibridle
was elected as a republican at a gen.
eraI election. The appointing board
is equally divided upon political lines,
but as the county officers usually
work together very tremendously 1t
Is not anticipated that there will be
any serious contest upon political
lines.
Perhaps the first consideration Will
be to select a good reliable man. who
IL interested in tho county's welfare,
OF force and activity. Perhaps a
second consideration would be to Sc
lect a Miller man If available. because
of the convenience OF having n
member always at the. county seat,
and because the city's population
entities 1t to one member Of the
board.
SO far al learned no one has made
any effort to secure the appointment,
but it is presumed there will be
citizens willing to serve when the APP
pointing board meets.

K AUTOMOBILES

The Huron Huronite calls atten-
ton to the necessity Of regulating the
parking OF automobiles on city streets
They are growing in such numbers
as to interfere with traffic on Main
streets. The Huronite suggests that
instead of parking IN the center OF
Main that hereafter all cars be direct
ed 10 park on side streets. So far
Miller has got along nicely parking
on both sides OF Main street, which
accommodates twice the number OF
cars as the center or the street.
However. II numbers OF cars increase
as rapidly as they have. some other
regulation may be necessary.

The new town Of Lennon, on the
Milwaukee coast line In northwestern
South Dakota, has had its fire expert
ence. Nearly the whole business dis
trict was wiped out, and 1t Is believed
that the fire was started by some one
with criminal intent. The people OF
South Dakota are patient and law
abiding, but IL any men could be
caught engaged in such d~astardly
work as burning up property and
food supplies, their chance for a
quick trip to hades would be excel
lent.

Of her school house tumbled IN.
There are few terrors OF the pio-
neer's life on the plains equal to a
prairie fire. and this fire recalls some
that swept over Hand county in the
early days, when there was little
cultivation and few fire guards.
While such extensive fires might not
again be possible here, yet many
people shudder whenever a strong
wind blows over the prairies. And
their fears are not entirely ground
less, because a great deal OF damage
can be done yet, in localities where
proper freguards are not kept up.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

The Press has received a stock of
handsome Christmas cards, to be
printed as the customer desires. This
is becoming a popular method of re-
Numbering friends during the holt
days. and is preferred by many to the
ancient method of exchanging pres
ents. II is also In line with the pre-
vailing idea of economy and onserv
alton.

obstructionist residents OF the Uni
ted States will be some form of de-
portation. This has been resorted
to in other countries at war time,
and is in every way effective. Actual
deportation out Of the country will
prove an excellent punishment for
the crime and at the same time will
be an excellent club to hold over the
near-disloyal.

WHO CAN WIN THE WAR9

A big banking firm OF New York
claims to have made an exhaustive
investigation and comparison of the
worlds warning nations, and deducts
these interesting figures therefrom:
or the total area engaged In war
94.1 per cent belong to the Allies,
and SO per cent to the Central pow
ers. The aggregate population of
the Allies reaches AIS, $50. 600, or 1873
per cent of the total Of warning
people. while the Teutonic combina-
ton has a population Of 147, 000. 900,
or 1877 per cent of the whole. With
out Asia and Africa, the Allies have
available for military service o.
700, 900 men, or 7S.5 of the total posi-
BILE, while Germany and her associ-
ates can command rs, $50, 900, or 21.5
per cent. The actual number now
enrolled by the Allies is 21.4o0.0O0, or
less than one fourth OF their total
possible, while the central powers
have enrolled 11.000. 900. or not far
from one-half their possible. The
combined yearly income of the Allies
Is sc bSsa.cns and the combined in
come of the central powers is IL bill
lions.
In cost the war has been more ex-
pensiye to the central powers than
to the Allies SO far. The Teutons
have ssrca.. zee billions. and the Allies
~ billions. The Allies have reported
killed. wounded, or missing 5000, 900,
and the central powers 5000, O00.
Germany went into the war fully
prepared, and certainly by this time
has passed her maximum strength
and capabilities. The Allies were
unprepared. and have had to slowly
build up their war strength. At pres
ent the United States Is not ready to
take q hand. There r likewise un-
developed possibilities in Japan
China and South America II the
Allies stick together they will win
the war.
