years the extreme dcvclopment Of
towns and counties in eastern and
southern South Dakota has reached
Hand county
This year has seer more building
and improving. both i'm tho country
and in Miller. than in any year since
the county was settled. Every day
truck and wagon loads Of lumber and
buildings materials are taken to the
country where many new farms are
being improved and a greater number
of old farms show new houses, big
barns. ~granaries, hog houses, chicken
houses, etc, showing that the farming
communities of Hand county are get
ting on a firm financial footing.
A partial survey OF the improve
ments in Miller show that there are
at the present time thirty-rour resi-
dences nearing completion or under
construction. besides two large brick
garages, a new brick store building
and a number Of additions and better
ments.
1t is also a fact that every spare

use to accommodate teachers, students
and new people who are now making
Miller their home.
The 1910 census gave Miller a popu-
lation Of 1902. Since that time many
new residences have been erected and
new people moved to Town. A census
today would find Miller with a popu-

The Tenderfoot Is a human story,
presented In q natural manner by an
excellent cast II is full Of bright
dialogue, rich humor and is one OF the
best comedy dramas I'VE written.
Ben Warner. the ranch foreman, is an
excellent type OF westcrnef; true,
faithful, and always a man OF princi-
pie. Alice Clemens, is a iovabie west
ern girl, whose loyalty and charm win
approval from the start. Joe Clemens
the father. is a rugged, honest man Of
the west. and believes all lei honest
until he finds them otherwise. Bud
Bowers, a laugh provoking cow-pun-
cher, is kept busy making love and
thrills for Clarissa Clark, q girl from
New York, who has a vivid magma
ton. Jimmy Springer, also from the
metropolis, who learned the ways Of
the west from Diamond Dicks" his
tory Of the wild and woody" finds
to his surprise that there are yet
many things to learn. Robert STAN
ley. the mysterious ~"Tenderfoot,"
proves his worth in more ways than
one. Tom Barlow, a man Of deter
mination. and Philip Bradford, the
scheming promoter, completes Q cast
Of characters that furnish material
for a really clever story. A strong
feature OF this play is the abundance
Of bristling. clean cut and breezy
comedy that eliminates all possibility
Of there being a dull moment. This
is a brand new play by Addison Aul-
ger. who also wrote. I'm Arizona"

Increase Ct Birds
Noted By Observer

The frequently observed increase of
birds in Miller caused one citizen who
has plenty of trees and shrubbery on
his lot and always keeps open water
to attract them. One day recently. his
count tailed sixteen varieties of the
fcathcred songsters. Among them was
noted one species of the red bird, some
thing heretofore unusual in this local.
ity. The growth Of trees in Miller
has attracted many birds to nest here
each year. They soon learn to be very
tame. thanks to the Federal law pro
tccting migratory birds, and the gooo
sense Of citizens who keep water for
them about the city lots.
