son, president Of the organization, who
= has been studying southern bird life,
deplores evidence he has found which
indicates that bird mortality in the
South has about wiped out valuable
species in many localities. In South
Carolina he found conditions in this
respect very distressing, while sur
vey in Texas revealed similar situa-
ton. But his Indictment covers the en-
tire South, and hence the campaign
in contemplation is to include all the
southern states. ,Mr:j Gilbert directed
the attention of farmers to the fact
that the fight against: the boil weeyil
is being greatly handicapped by the
slaughter Of birds In this connection
he said further: 49,. = 3. p:
:*"While they feed Oh insects and do
not specialize on b0u weevils, a single
songbird will destroy great quantities
Of weevils. The value Of these birds in
checking the multiplication of insects
is thoroughly understood all through
the North, where the laws protecting
birds are observed. In most sections Of
the North a farmer would prosecute
anyone killing songbirds on his lands.
But in many parts of the South the
farmers, his sons and the hired men
kill birds constantly, eating the robin
and some Of the other larger varieties
and shooting many Of the smaller va
rieties for sport" New Orleans

EIGHTEEN ARRESTS SUNDAY FOR
HUNTING WITHOUT LICENSES

Deputy State Game Warden A.
Saunders, Of Huron, and ]. v. Kelsey,
federal game warden for South Dako-
ia, were certainly on the job in Hand
County Sunday, when they made the
biggest haul. both for the number ar
rested and fines collected, aver made
by the game department, arresting
eighteen hunters. who had neglected
getting their licenses.
The majority of the arrests were
made for hunting without licenses.
A few, however, being for killing
more than bag limits. 1t is reported
that a few of those arrested were
inclined to fight the charges brought
against them, but upon being told that
their guns would be confiscated dur
ing the proceeding and that after be-
ing tried under the state law, they
would also be called before the Fed
eral Court at Sioux Falls, they all
pleaded guilty. The fines totaled
1857. so.
A humorous twist was given the
situation, when one Of the parties ar
rested, took the switch key from the
game warden's car, making 1t neces-
sary for him to phone to town for as
sistance. Nothing daunted, the war
den assessed the garage bill against
the culprit's fine.

CITY OF MILLER
Office Of the Mayor
Proclamation

y CONGREGATIONS have cost the world
untold fortunes in matters of material
and historic. The History of fires I'm
the United States begins with the
burning of Chicago on October 9th,
1871, in which nearly four square
miles of the city we're consumed by a
fire easily p%reventable. Statistics
show that the annual fire loss in the
United States has increased from
Seventy-eight million dollars in 1875
to Two hundred and sixty million dol
lars in 1921; a gradual but certain
increase i'm losses. The peculiar fea-
ture is that most all fires are prevent
able; and that "a of prevention
are readily available and easily ap-
piled. Nearly all fires are the result
of carslessness.
In order, therefore, to rouse u
people to a proper sense of the dan
gers of fire, /, w. j. Halloween, Mayor
Of Miller, do hereby proclaim and
designate
The Week Of Oct. 2 to 3 Inclusive
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
and most earnestly urge all citizens
to observe the week by cleaning up
their houses, yards and lots, reinov-
ing all rubbish and waste, and see
to It that all heating apparatus, Chin
neys and flues are safe for the winter
The removal of weeds from
vacant lots, streets and along high
Ways not only presents a more sight
ly appearance but will prevent drift
ing of snow during the winter months.
The proper officers should inspect
all theaters, schools, public halls, hos
pitfalls, to the end that greater safety
from fire will be secured.
l recommend that all schools have
an appropriate program on some day
during the week.
(Signed) W. ]. Halloween,
Mayor.

Mrs. Collins Injured
By Sickle On Mower

Mrs. Harrison Collins had a narrow
escape from serious injury last Fri
day. Mrs. Collins was assisting her
husband, and was driving a mower,
when the horses became frightened
and ran away. Mrs. Collins was
thrown from the mower, I'm front OF
the sickle, and 1t was only by great
presence of mind that she was not cut
to pieces.
Mrs. Collins in reporting the acct
dent said that as she fell. she began
to roll away from the approaching
knife, and managed to get her body
out of the way, but could not save
her arm, which was badly cut, one
finger being entirely cut on. Despite
her wounds. Mrs. Collins stopped the
team, and then walked to where her
husband was working. She was i'm
mediately brought to town and her
injuries dressed at the hospital.

EXECUTIVE
PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA
A PROCLAMATION

Annually throughout the United
States THE destruction of life and
property by fire has steadily increas-
ed until the total yearly loss of ma
terial wealth has now reached the
enormous sum of $4S5, 600 900. This
means that needed resources in the
country are being wiped out at the
rate of about s1.330,O0O daily. Still
more appalling is the fact that an
average Of forty-eight human lives
are each day destroyed by fire.
In our own state, curing the year
1921 t~hirty-five citizens of South Da-
kota were burned to death and pro-
perty Of the value of S1,750,000 was
destroyed. 1t is evident therefore,
that we ourselves are paying our full
share Of the fearful tax levied by
carelessness in handling fire hazards.
Eighty per cent of these fires were
preventable.
Feeling keenly the necessity for re-
ducing the excessive fire waste and in
the interest Of fire prevention, l have
therefore, as Governor of the State Of
South Dakota, designated the period

Ry REV. A. G.. MacLEAN

made very clear who the enticer Is.
The n purpose OF the enticer Is to
draw you away from the path of
righteousness. To u this end he
will resort to all manner or methods.
One Of the ~fe-orite DISCUSSES ia as an
angel uf light" In this way one may
be led to think that wen a wrong
eeerse will bring no disastrous re-
suits. he is still saying to Us today
as he said to Eve in the garden. "Ye
shall not surely die" When you go
fishing you have an intention to de-
ceive the fish with q bait . Satan Is a
finished angler. He is not concerned
about the kind of bait he uses, but
for the result. No method OF his has
been a greater success thar that OF
your associates. With no direct in
tention of wrecking a life, the wrong
kind of a companion has done that
very thing. BY repeatedly suggesting
such an idea as, "this Is no HARM"
many have come to believe that IL Is
true, and, acting upon 1t have gone
down to ruin.
A lion and a lamb may lie down to-
gether but association will very likely
finish by the lamb lying down inside
the lion. You may think that you can
pass through unscathed-they have
all thought that-but your margin OF
security is very narrow. Let rs not
forget that there is a wide difference
between going into a dangerous place
and being forced to go into that place
because of ones duty. Daniel did not
walk into the lions den, he was fore
ed into it. His three companions did
not cast themselves into the frey fur
mace, they were forced in by armed
men. And God saw that the lions did
not touch Daniel nor the fire the three
young Hebrews.
We have now before rs the spirit
of the father who gives this warning
and the spirit and purpose OF the en-
ticer. along with some of his methods
for securing his object. There Is one
other thing, to secure his end he must
have your consent. You are safe IL
you consent not" The issue lies
with you. No power OF earth can
( compel you to follow the solicitations
of the enticer. II is an act of your
will.
Many hands will be laid upon your
shoulder. and many voices will offer
you council, and some of these will
mean we'll. But no concern can be SC
deep and unseifsh, no hand so sure
to lead you in the right way. no voice
that can give the needed council, like
your heavenly father, who now speak,
to you through this text: my SON
II sinners entice thee. consent tho1
not"

-Four Prairie Fires
Destroy Grain and Hay

During the last few days a number
of prairie fires have destroyed a large
amount Of hay and stacked grain.
Last Friday a freight train started a
fire just west of the Albert Thomson
farm a mile west of Miller. Four
stacks of wheat were destroyed before
the fire was brought under control.
The same afternoon a prairie fire in
Spring Lake Twp. destroyed a large
amount of hay and posture land. Late
Saturday night fire was scattered from
a hay stack that burned in the prev
ious fire and prompt response to phone
calls sent from the Winsell farm no
doubt saved several farm buildings.
Two fires Tuesday destroyed large
quantity Of hay, n on the Indian
reservation in Buffalo, burned over an
area II miles long and six wide. The
other was west of Rec Heights, but
the extent of damage was not learned.
