cause was In Jesus. 1t mattered not
that the officers sent by them to arrest
him came back saying, Never man
spake as this man." How different
now, If, ~repenting Of their attitude,
they had received him Sas their Mes
siah!
But, he knows that his tears are
availing. The things which would
avail for their salvation as a nation
are hid from their eyes," They have
eyes to see but see not, and ears to
hear but they hear not" This Is the
time of their visitation, and they knew
1t not. And, In spite Of the fact that
these things have come to pass, they
do not know it yet. HE came unto
his own and his own received him
not" Even as John said of that true
light: 1.-THE light shined into the
darkness and the darkness compre-
hended II not"
And now, as these visions of future
woe and disaster pass before his eyes
like a moving panorama, little wonder
that his heart is stirred with compass
sion. What a moving appeal was that
on another occasion when he cried.
20 Jerusalem, Jerusalem which killest
prophets, and stonest them that Sce
sent unto thee; how often would I
have gathered thy children together,
as a hen doth gather her brood under
her wings, and we would not" And II
is significant now to note, as DIR. Al
fred Edersheim points out, that the
, weeping of Jesus here is mot with
still weeping as at the grave Of Lazar-
us, but with loud and deep lamenta-
ton"
o, what sorrow and disaster come to
the children Of men today because
they know not the time OF their visi-
l~tation! How has this same Jesus
come seeking an entrance into thy
heart and thou hast not known 1t, or
knowing, thou hast turned him away.
Room for Jesus, king OF glory,
Hasten now his word obey;
Swing thy hearts door widely open
Bid him enter while you may"
And yet, in the face OF all these
things Jesus persists In his efforts to
save Jerusalem and the Jews. All
Through the succeeding week we find
him, not living at ease in Bethany To
await the end. but every day In con-
tact with the rulers giving then every
opportunity to repent.
o, the persistency Of Jesus! He
will not withdraw until from the
shadow OF the cross he prays: Faith
er forgive them for they know not
what they do. 1t was their loss that
they did not know. And Is was not
that they could not, but that they
would not.

6-TEAM BALL CLUB
IS ORGANIZED
Organization To Be Knewn As Black
And Yellow Trail League. Each
Team to Play 20 Games

Last Sunday evening. delegates from
Harold, Highmore, Rec Heights, st.
Lawrence and Miller met at the Miller
Commercial Club rooms for the pur-
pose OF organizing, as far as possible,
an ametuer baseball league.
The delegates were all enthusiastic
On organizing a league. with a little
difference OF opinion OF the number OF
towns to be included.
Among the business transacted at
the meeting was the adoption OF by
laws and rules to govern the organiz-
alton, and also the selection OF a name.
The name selected was "rrhe Black and
Yellow Trail Base Ball League"
Blunt was selected as the sixth mem
Der Of the league and IL a favorable
reply is received from the fans of that
city the league will be a going concern
in a short time.
The teams are to consist Of home
town" players, although a player liv-
ing In the country can play in the
town he lives closest to, providing he
is within 20 niles OF the town.
The players are to receive no re-
enumeration for their playing from any
source, with the exception OF an
amount sufficient to cover wages lost
while absent from work.
Each town will play 20 games during
the season. four with each town, two
at home and two away from homs.
The games will be played according to
a prearranged schedule. Anr last but
least, a suitable penant or cup Is
nravidad for thu taam that GONNA, a.st
on top OF the list.
This is the first effort to organize
the baseball teams along this line al
though other sections of the state have
county leagues and tri-
leagues for severaf years. An
organization of this kind will bring
out more enthusiasm among the fans
and produce better ball players than
old hap-hazard way of amusing
the public with base ball.

THE A OF JESUS
Luke 1874, AZ.

One Of the most important events
In the life of Jesus was the triumph
ant entry into Jerusalem. II was the
offer of himself to the Jewish people
as their Messiah and king.
The throng of people, with Jesus in
the midst. shouting "hosanna, blessed
is he that cometh in the name Of the
Lord" at last reaches the first full
view of the holy city. "He beheld the
city and wept over It," Over that
multitude came a silence strangely In
contrast with the shouting and demon
stration OF a few moments before. II
is broken by the lament of Jesus as he
utters the sorrowfully prophetic words
as found in Luke 1912 to A.
AS his disciples look out over the
city in all its glory they can see no
cause for the masters weeping. This
Is the time to rejoice. In a few days,
they think, he will be seated on Lbe
throne of David. But Jesus hears and
sees beyond, and his prophetic ear and
eye catch other sounds al the scenes
Of coming days and years unfold be-
fore him like a moving panorama.
Now he hears the shouts of another
multitude saying Let him be cruci1ed
I. we have no king but Caesar"
He sees, instead of the throne OF David
the cross on Calvary, and his crown
a crown of thorns.
The scene moves forward forty
years. He sees the Roman legions
surrounding the Inflated city and
moving closer each day. Like a dis
solving picture upon the screen, the
city changes to a heap Of ruins laid
even with tine ground, ana amid the
leveled stones the thousands OF her
children slain. And then again the
scene Is changed. Silence and desola-
ton reign over all. The songs OF
praise, the smoking sacrifices are
heard and seer no more. II Is this
vision that causes Jesus to weep over
the city he loved and longed to save
from So terrible a fate.
His anguish Of heart Is intensified
by the thought that their doom might
have been averted. That which ne
offered, accepted by them, would have
! solved their every problem and n
ed In the reigns OF peace and prosper
ity. They looked upon him as q trou'
bier of Israel because his conception
of. and program for. the Messianit
Kingdom were in antagonism will

elamatOry. First Place Won
BY SissetOn

At the divisional contest held at
Huron last Friday evening to decide
the winner to represent this division
at the state oratorical and d~eclamatory
contest, Miss Genevieve Dunn, with
her defamation 'The Littiest Rebel"
was awarded second place. First
place was won by Miss Agnes Axness

is the fact that the winning declama-
ton was also 'The Littlest Rebel"
and the competition between Miss
Dunn and Miss Axness was very close.
First place in the oratorical contest
was awarded to Charles Howard OF
Aberdeen, his Grafton being "Tho
Price of Peace" Joseph Hughes of
Fl. Pierre, who was awarded first in
the district contest held in Miller,
with Admiral Farragut" as his ora
ton, won second place.
In the event that either of the win
ners in the respective contests is un-
able to appear at the state contest,
the winner Of second place will be
alternate. The state contest will
be held at Aberdeen.

ANNOUNCED NEXT WEEK

The Miller Press "P"-Word Puzzle
was officially closed Monday, April 10,
and the replies received from the con-
testants are now in the hands OF the
three judges, who were selected to
judge the contest and decide the win

plies received, it will take the judges
several days to completely go over the
lists, and compare them with the
master list. Consequently, the names
OF the winners will not be announced
In this weeks issue. The judges de-
cision will, however, be announced in
next weeks paper, together with the
master list.
The contest has been a success from
every standpoint, and the only regret
is that all cannot be prize winners.

TAX STUDY BRINGS OUT ESSENTIAL FACTS

equipment and for such purposes for
which Extension funds are not avail
able. How Agricultural Extension
funds shall be spent is fixed by State
Law under a cooperative agreement
with the States Relations Service at
Washington. S2559.8O was a%ppropri-
ated for Road Commissioner and
$2150.44 for County Nurse.
An interesting sidelight developed
when it was shown that $66.56 out Of
every $4,000 taxes was spent by the
local township boards and city and
town councils. When the Chairman
put the question as to how many at
tended the last annual township or
school meeting, but a very few could
answer affirmatively. Rather a sur
prise to everybody. Yet here was by
far the largest item of expense and to
which apparently the least attention
was given.
The meeting proved altogether a
very profitable one. Facts brought
ont would indicate:
FThat the average taxpayer is not
entirely familiar with township and
County expenses.
That most criticism comes from lack
of information.
That criticism is Ineffective unless
constructive suggestions for improve
ment r offered.
That citizens should take more in
terest in their local township business
affairs.
The 1922 tax levy for the county
totalled $550,184.S2. OF this amount
the County Commissioners are respon-
sible for levying $112,504.71 or 20.44
per cent. The township. city and town
councils are responsible for levying
s437, 680.11 or 68.57 per cent and the
State Tax Commission s60,516.28 or
1899 per cent.
The following tables show who pays
the 1922 taxes and where they go, and
the amount paid by the average per-
son:

Twenty-Five Hand County citizens
responded to the invitation to Town
ship Chairmen and others interested
to meet with the County Commission
ers at the Court House Wednesday,
April 5th. to study taxes and the pos
sibility of tax reduction. Rain and
bad roads prevented many from at
tending. Roy Linn, President of the
Board of Commissioners, was elected
Chairman and presided over the meet
ing.
All present were provided with q
copy of the recapitulation of tax list
for Taxes Due and Payable January
ist, 1922.
Various tax items were taken up
separately and discussion called for.
The meeting was harmonious through
out, though differences of opinion
were quite evident and forcibly ex-
pressed at times.
All public officers came In for dis
cussion, Road Commissioner, County
Nurse. Court House officials and Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent.
As is frequently the case, those who
had criticized the most did not put in
an appearance. Particularly was this
true of those who recently endeavor-
ed to do away with the County Agent
office, tine County Narse and the Road
Commissioner. and who are now cir
culating a petition to have a like sum
of money appropriated for their own
use as is appropriated for County Ag-
ricultural Extension worr.
Figures show that the three offices
combined cost the County only $780,
"a or 1.3 per cent of the total tax levy
of $~550,1S4.82. $250O.O0 was a%ppropri-
ated for Agricultural Extension or
County Agent work, which amounts
to 45c out of every 500. 90 taxes paid
by the average person. This is sup
plemented by State and Government
funds and some help from the Farm
Bureau members. The Farm Bureau
