think that some of our newly made
ballot casters will be interested in the
same.
The South Dakota League of Wo-

each congressional district to con-
ference in their respective districts.
for the purpose Of organizing Con-
gressional District League of Women
Voters The conference for the first
congressional district will be held at
Mitchell on Sept. 7th. The conference
for the second district is called to meet
at Huron on Sept. 18th at 10 A. M in
the Parish House, the first building
east of the postoffice. This would
seem like an opportune time to call
conference since it is during the
State Fair at Huron and many women
will be planning to visit the fair. The
railroads are making a fare of one
and one half, with these reduced tic
kets good for several days. All wo-
men who are interested in the con-

Poppy Day Sept. Is

We mentioned last week that Mrs.

man of the committee of ladies fMil-
bank who are to make a drive for the
relief of the war-stricken orphans
of Europe. The committee will be an
nounced next week. Saturday. Sept.
18th, has been announced as the day
for the drive, when you will be called
upon to donate to this worthy cause
When America entered the war
she stretched forth her hands across
the sea to help the needy in the other
part of the world and the day was
won. But hands are still outstretch-
ed toward America. baby hands, be-
seeching and begging the crumbs from
the table of plenty, lest they starve.
For if America fails 20 answer this
mute appeal for assistance many
little children will fail in their strue-
gle for eXistance this next winter.
No cause can possibly appeal to a
charitably inclined person with more
effect than does this crying need Of
the inocent sufferers OF the great
wars desolation. We should give
freely and as largely as possible to
these destitute and helpless orphans.

A Bouquet

The Herald begins its

of w. w. Downie, last week. The
early youth Of the paper was spent in
Big Stone City, amid those delightful

the correct impetus along the line
which it has followed during it's lat
er history. The only serious error its
editor ever made was to move to Mil
bank at time when he could easily
supported his paper here by renting
a farm near the city limits, and put
ting his wife in charge Of it. The Her.
add Advance is something more than
a newspaper: it is an institution. We
are hoping that Editor Downie will
read over his old files and write
history of the county, some day. No
man is better qualified to do that, and
it ought to be done.-Big Stone Head

Thank you, Brother Aldrich. One
of the treasures of the accumulated
years has been the good fellowship of
the local fraternity Of the craft that
we have enjoyed. Even in the wild and
wooly days there was no bitterness

cessitv indu!ged in. As to the history
we know of a bird down in Big Stone
who could do it to our complete sat

Milbank had no difficulty in prah-
bing the heavy END of the score in a
baseball game which they played with
the aspiring Twin Brooks aggregation
last Sunday. The game was hastily ar
ranged after the Appleton team de-
clded not to play here. Score IL.
Pardon was on The mound FOR the
locals and caused II men to fan the
AIR IN The seven innings that he flung.
Calfee. the old standby catcher took
the box and in srite Of had get
away struck out two men. "Hippo.
Port, old time ball player in the Mil
bank uniform, was also out. holding
down the initial sack for the first
eight innings. He was in tie box for
the last inning.
Calfee and Markell landed out two
baGgers scoring men on bases both
times. A home run down the third base
line with the bases full by Jimmie
Herman was the sensation of the
game, but the umpire failed to see
where the ball struck and called it a
foul. Milbank CLEANED seven hits from
the Twin Brooks finger, while they
were credited with five safe bingles
off the M:lbank mounders.
Because Of the threatening wealth
er and the fact that the Appleton
game was called off, the crowd vas
small.

games with the locals was on the hill
and pitched good ball. allowing but
two hits and tanning out his share of
them.
Two hits by Markell which landed
near the -go-round placed in
lett field were good for only one base
according to the ground rules made
before the game. Had it not been for
this they would have been three-bag-
gers at least. Heavy hitting at op-
perfume times made it possible for
Milbank to score whenever a hitter
landed on base.
Inability to find the pitcher on the
part OF the Twin Brooks PLAYERS
showed up strong. and made the game
one-slded. Their fieldwork was snappy
and good. but insufficient to over
come the handicap of poor hitting.

banged out a home run. which was
followed by Calfee's and Markets g.
baggers. The Ortonville PLAYERS had
streak of hard luck, one runner be-

from the game and the catcher taken
out with bungedup hand. Dr.. Sulli-

SMILE HAS DISTINCT VALUE
Nc Person Ever Attained Place or
Popularity by the Exercise
Of a "Grouch."

In debate in the national house OF
representatives one member charged
the members on the other side with
being continual Crouch" Is It nat
ural for men, especially politicians, to
be grouches? Have they not yet learn
ed the value of smile?
This busy world, with its wonderful
revelations, its tremendous possibili-
ties has no use for the crouch" The
minister who never smiles misses the
sweetness of religion. The lawyer
who never smiles loses more cases
than he wins. The merchant who
never smiles loses trade. The general
who never smiles loses his grip on his
men. The politician who never smiles
usually stays ut home. The sales
man who never smiles loses his posi-
ton.
Somehow people don't like a
Crouch" a man who doesn't know
how or when to smile.
A smile is the biggest asset to any
man or woman. 1t means admirers.
good nature, health-and wealth. 1t
disarms foe and makes a friend. 1t
builds hope, banishes fear. 1t opens
the door to the joys of life and the
riches of existence. 1t is jewel be-
yond price.
