MILLER Wins
FROM BLUNT
Miller Takes Second Game With Blunt
BY Score OF 8 TO

The "Millerites" increased their per-
centage In the league standing Sunday
at the expense of the Blunt ball team
In one of the best games played so
far on the local diamond.
Both pitchers were working in ex-
cellent form. and held the opposing
teams to flve scattered hits throughout
the game. Clark, Miller's box artist,
and his support, played perfect base
ball during the first eight innings.
but In the 9th with the score 3 to O,
the boys moral cracked slightly and
two errors, a sacrifice and a pass bail
allowed the visitors their only runs
of the game. With the exception OF
the 9th. End base was a stranger to
the Blunt players.
Miller's first scores came In the
third inning, although they got a man
as far as third in the first inning. In
the third with two out Campbell sing
led, and was followed by Benedict"
Schroeder, who knowing he was ap-
pearing in a Miller uniform for the
last time as a single man, decided 1t
was time to put his name and address
on the ball. The catcher holiered hit
IL" and he did, twenty feet over the
left field wall, for the first home run
on the local field. Their last and
winning score came in the eighth
when Campbell walked and CAME
home or Schroeder's double. 4
The only regrettable feature OF the
game was the injury of Potts who
started his first game in a Miller uni
form. His shoulder was so badly in
jured when a Blunt base runner ran
into him at second. that he will be
out of the game for at least two weeks.

Hail Storm Comes Just
As Hail Law Takes Effect

Pierre, s. D., June 20.-The farmers
OF the Midland vicinity and further
southeast into Stanley county. who
had their crops insured under the
state hail insurance plan, only had
their insurance In force about an hour
when the big hail storm came along
June Is.
The state law provides that In GER
tain counties in the southern half OF
the state shall be in force on June
Is at noon, while in the northern
counties the law does not go into effect
quite SO early as the crops are later
there.
The hailstorm In Haakon and Stan
ley counties came at / O'Clock just
one hour after the insurance came
into effect.
The storm battered everything into
the ground In the section in which
the hail fell. In Midland the hail was
so large that ruberoid roofing was
almost torn to shreds by It.

Chautauqua Junior
Festival Opens Wed.

At four o'clock mex Wednesday af-
ternoon the Chautauqua's Junior tent
will go up. At seven o'clock the chill
dren's play festival will begin. 1t is
free to all the boys and girls of this
community.
The Junior Director. will open the
festival with a demonstration in must
cal appreciation, enabling the children
to make their start in acquiring the
art of listening to music. Then will
come singing with the Victrola, fol-
lowed by rhythmic exercises with col
ored paper balls. Folk dances come
next. There will also be boys relay
races and a hunt for free Junior sea-
son tickets.
The full ourse in musical appreci-
alton, for which Junior Chautauqua
season tickets are required, is based
on a new method, one of whose lead
ing principles prescribes the avoid
ance of difficult and mysterious terms.
The new method assumes that in
speaking of music, just as in speaking
of other things, the director may use
simple language readily understood.
BY way of showing how attractive
learning to enjoy music really is, we
give the titles of eight lessons:
/. What's on the insides of music?
2. Music is a language; what does
it say to you?
3. Making friends with tunes.
4. How do you do, Mr.. Instrument?
5. Songs and Singers.
6. Instrumental Music.
z. Music of the far-away Countries.
8. Beautiful America"
But while the enjoyment of music
is thus brought within the grasp of
boys and girls. ii is the same enjoy
ment Of music that adults require.
They, as we'll as the children, will
value the lessons and 1t is hoped that
many adults will prepare to enter the
eliminating memory contest, whose
object will be to see who can success
fully give the names ard composers
OF twelve musical masterpieces played
on the afternoon of the contest. That
evening blue ribbon prizes will be
awarded to those who have correctly
named the selections and their COM
posers.
Next Wednesdays Junior play festi-
val will not only serve as IN introduce
ton to the course in musical appre-
citation but will at the same time give
the boys and girls a chance to take
formal possession Of their tent.
Throughout the Chautauqua session 1t
is to be theirs. The boys will put it
up. The boys will keep 1t in order.
The Junior tent is made of khaki
similar to the big Chautauqua tent
and has a fence surrounding 1t. These
Junior tents used this year by the
White & Myers hCautauqua System
in their Junior work, are the first
Junior tents ever used in Chautauqua.
They should add greatly to the pleas
ure of the youngsters.

Harold Men Injured On
Turn West OF Town

An accident which might have re-
suited fatally occurred on the Black
& Yellow trail just west of town We'd
nesday morning about $50, when an
automobile occupied by Guss Huffman
and George Haas left the turn on the
south side of the railroad track. The
car turned over throwing Haas clear
and pining Huffman under the wreck.
Huffman with the assistance of Haas
partly worked himself clear of the
car, before Haas walked to the Albert
Thompson residence a few hundred
feet away for assistance. DIR. Whee-
lock was notified and the injured men
were taken to the hospital where it
was found that Mr.. Huffman's collar
bone was broken, and both men more
or less bruised up otherwise. They
returned to their home on the noon
train Wednesday.
Too much speed on the urn is given
as the cause of the accident. They
were returning to their homes in Har-
rold with several other people, after
a fishing trip in the eastern part OF
the state, and when they reached
Holabird they stopped and noticed a
suit caes was missing and, after trans
ferring three children who were rid
ing with them. to another car, return
ed to find 1t. Before reaching the turn
the railroad crossing Mr.. Haas called
Huffman's attention to 1t, but probably
not realizing the speed he was driving
which was stated to be about 40 miles
an hour, he failed to slacken speed.
The car, an Oldsmobile eight, was
not badly damaged outside of one
front wheel. windshield, top and the
steering wheel loosened.

SER ON
By REV. d. J. QUILLAN

without God, without an intelligent
directing. cause: which undertakes to
evolve life from death, spirit from
matter, an immortal soul from the
animal principle of life; which des-
cribes the family as the natural de-
velopment of the relations existing be-
tween animals; which sees i'm a faith
er's care and a mothers love only
highly animal instincts.
After years of endeavor to discover
the origin Of human life and of the
family, men of science, who have no
religious preoccupations or prejudices
have confessed the bankruptcy of
science to give any rational or ade-
quate natural cause to account for
these phenomena.
We who are guided by the light OF
a Superior Intelligence. know whence
comes the human family. 1t Is a crea-
ton of eternal love and it's exemplar
must be sought in God Himself. Be-
fore the ages began, there existed one
God and a divine family. This God
had no cause, having the reason of His
existence within Himself, but He
would not be perfect IL He were
sterile. This Infinite Being thought,
and the result was the Word. This
Word, which proceeded from God, is
the Splendor of His Substance, the
Figure of His Substance. The Father
saw it and called it Son, and rejoiced
that He had engendered 1t. The Faith
er loves the Beauty. which He
brought forth; the Son loves the
Principle whence he emanated. This
mutual love is the link, which binds
them together. This mutual love OF
the Father and the Son is the Holy
Ghost. They form one divinity, an
absolute unity. a perfect society, and
furnish the exemplar of the human
family.

THE STANDING
THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY
CONTINUED from week of June /,

Continued from week of June H.
There was'a time when all gloried
in being able to trace their origin from
God by direct, immediate, creation,
but things have changed now, and
some pride themselves in being the
final result of a long series of evolu-
tions, the highest development of the
brute creation, a perfect, though ra-
tional animal, preferring to claim re-
lationship with the ape than with God.
Nothing has contributed so much to
the destruction of the true idea of
mans dignity, and the sacred charac-
ter of the family, as the application of
the materialistic principles of evolu-
ton to- the solution of the origin and
meaning of life.
Materialistic evolution attempts to
explain all things without the inter-
vention OF God. Life in its lowest
forms sprang from inanimate matter,
which by adapting themselves to ex-
ternal environments ended in produc-
Ing the lower forms OF animal !'fe.
Nor did the evolution stop here. for
from the pure animal energies, by
some secret process, the rational, man.
This creature, man, craving compan-
ionship. filled with love for his own
kind, associated himself with woman.
and thus the family was formed.' Thus
mai and woman are the last link In
n development Of the brute creation;
the family is the result of an animal
craving the union Of two animals,
with the addition of reason alone to
guide and regulate their lower appe-
tites and instincts.
Whatever may be the value of evo-
luton. 1t needs no arguments to show
how u~nfounded In fact and reason is
a theory. which attempts to explain
the origin Of the world, and all things
