I'm OratOrical Contest

The sixth district Deciamatory and
Oratorical contest was held In this
city last Friday evening, This was
the first time for several years that
Miller had the honor of holding the
contest
The evenings program opened with
a selection. "Exuberance," by the High
School orchestra. And right here, 1t
would not be aniiss to speak a word
of praise for the orchestra, which
would be a credit to any high school.
The o~ratorical contest came first.
Miss Ethel Bentz Of this city, opening
with Toussaint L'Overture, and pre-
sented that hero so convincingly that
she held the audience in the closest
attention. Miss Bentz was at perfect
ease on the platform, and her gestures
were SO natural that they served to
emphasize her speech at exactly the
right places. Miss Bentz was awarded
second place in the contest, and IN
view of the fact that this was her
first year at any attempt at anything
of this nature, she Is to be c%ongratula-
ted on her record.
Following Miss Bentz, came ED.
ridge O'Neal of Pierre, who delivered
his GRAFTON "verdun," with a splendid
spirit, and he was awarded third
place.
Joseph Hughes, of TT. Pierre. win
ner Of first place, delivered an grafton
Admiral Farragut," that held the at
ton of his audience from start to fin
ish. He also had a good platform
presence, and a splendid voice for de-
livery.
Preston Swab, OF st. Lawrence, de-
livered the last grafton, THE Meaning
OF The Flag" which he gave In a man
ner that appealed to the audience.
During the intermission, the High
School Boys Glee Club rendered two
very pleasing selections: "Roll Away
and Stars Of The Summer Night"
The Declamatory contest was open
ed by Miss G%eneVieve Dunn, with 1.-THE
Littlest Rebel" which was given In a
way that insured her first place from
the beginning. Miss Dunn has a well
modulated voice, and her reading
seemed especially suited to her. She
had her audience laughing one mo-
ment, and on the verge OF tears the
next.
Miss Nadine Remington, of High
more. was awarded second place, with
her defamation when the Moon
Rose" Miss Hemmingson was also at
perfect ease before her audiences, and
her expression was excellent.
"The Sign of the Cross" by Miss
Louise Woodruff of st. Lawrence, was
also very well rendered. Miss Wood
ruff has a pleasing voice, and was
awarded third place.
Other contestants were Miss Inez
Harris of Pierre, who gave How The
LaRue Stakes Were Lost" and Miss
Katherine Carlisle of Fl. Pierre, who
gave 1.-THE Littlest Rebel"
The evenings program closed with
an orchestra selection Love Birds"
Miss Dunn and Mr.. Hughes will rep
resent this district at the state con-
test to be held at Aberdeen April 10th.

U. 5. Land Offices In State
To Be Merged Into One

10 Pierre, March 27.-The United Stat
e. land Offices at Lennon, Timber
Lake and Gregory will be consolidat-
ed with the Pierre land Office here
at the end of the fiscal year ending
June 80, next, making this city the
only agricultural land Office in this
state after that time, according to in
Formation received at the Pierre land
Office.
This action on the part of the gov
eminent is taken as a r~etrenchment
measure. 1t will leave only two other
land offices in the state, those at Belle
Fourche and Rapid City, both of which
are handling only the mineral lands
of the state. 1t is probable that these
two offices will also be combined and
all the mine lands handled from one
Office at either Rapid City or Belle
FoUrcie.

Presbyterian Church
Rev. Thomas j. Simons, Minis

Rev. Thomas j. Simons, Minister.
Well, the meetings are over, but we
hope the harvest is not ended. It was
begun. Several ~professed Christ and
were received into the church by the
Session Sunday last. An opportunity
will be given next Sunday for others
to do the same. It is sincerely to be
hoped there will be others. Next Sun
day will be ar e~vangelistic day. The
theme of the morning sermon will be
Simultaneous Dying and Living
The Adult choir will lead us in good
music.
In the evening the Junior choir will
sing. Reconciliation wilEbe the theme
of the evening sermon.
The Schools of the church will meet
as usual on both sides of the morning
preaching service. Again last Sunday
the attendance was fine in both. Now
is the time of year to make it so every
Sunday.
Another word about our Revival and
Evangelistic meetings. They were
.both-right from the start. 1t is
worthy of note that although there
were four marked interferences in the
two weeks they had little effect upon
the attendance on the meetings. Most
always the house was full. The
preaching was clear and strong every
time in its appeal for conservation and
the christian life. The m were
markedly evangelistic and often uni
que in expression and effective in IL
lustration. Rev. II. C. Johnson was
fortunate in having come so recently
from the region OF that great evangel-
istic center Winona Lake. Indiana.
Annual Congregational Meeting
The annual meeting of the church
will be held next Thursday evening at
the church. Written reports Of all the
organizations Of the church will be
presented, and officers elected for the
coming year. The church year is from
April LIST to March 31st.

PUZZLE ANSWERS
ARE COMING IN
Solvers Praise Contest As Educational
Feature In Which You Win
III You Lose

Answers to cur "P-word" picture
puzzle are coming in at a lively rate
and the prospects are that il is going
to be an interesting and exciting game
at the end.
They are all working at IL, II seems
the boys and the girls both old and
young, the butcher, the baker. the
~candlestick maker, the "school-marm"
and the parson. But who is going to
win the prize? That is what IL will
be interesting to see. So don't be a
"piker" (even IL 1t does begin with
'p.J Get into the game.
There Is no game OF chance about
this picture puzzle. 1t is a test OF
good eye and quick wits. And the
beauty about 1t is that the fellow with
a lot of book learning doesn't stand
much more show than the fellow with
only a practical education In the
school of hard knocks. The former
may know what "probocis" means but
don't know, what a potato planter
looks like. So there you are.
At any rate, when they get thru
with the puzzle they will both have
knowledge of things "p." From an
educational standpoint they will ee
ahead. From a financial standpoint
they are not losers even II they should
win no prize. They ought all have the
Miller Press anyway. Incidentally.
the Miller Press ought to get quite a
number of new subscribers this way
also a very desirable result of the
game.
There are some of the answers al
ready received of which we cannot
help but feel that II is too bad that
their authors have not qualified for
the bigger prizes.

BY E T. J. SIMONS

nations that have shut out Christianity
use the same crude instruments OF
labor and sit In h same Intellectual
darkness as they sat in centuries ago.
One without Christ Is using inefficient
tools.
One Of the burdens of life 10 its
mysteries. Not only OF time but of
eternity. Not to know the future caus-
future much OF our burden is taken
away. Especially as to the matter or
our own salvation. The n who Is
sure OF his salvation has the greatest
OF all burdens removed. Christ Is the
one who desires to take your burden
of uncertainty and relieve yod OF la
boring to ecure your W eternity.
The requirements are very simple.
The only need is to come to Jesus
Christ has rest to give &c each n who
comes to him.
The rulers OF the Jews had placed
upon them burdens hard to bear, the
formalities of religion. They were
laden with many washings and prohi-
billions. Christ came to take away all
external necessities.
There has never been anyone so be-
labored and burdened as Christ. Yet
he invites all to put their burdens on
him and let him do their work.
This is true everywhere. The n
who bears his own burden helps to
bear the burdens of others. The busy
man Is the one who can find time to
do for others. Only he is hardened to
1t. The unjust steward said Il cannot
dig" He could not because he hadn't
born his own burdens before. Now he
couldn't. To say nothing about dig
ging for others.
At this very time Christ's own bur-
ldens were great. He had taught and
done mighty works in the cities or
lGalilee, but had been rejected. The
idisappointments of life are among It's
I~greatest burdens.
Christ, the disappointed, offers TO
and is able to bear the burdens OF
others. The great men Of the earth
lare the ones who have the greatest
disappointments for they ave hoped
the most. They bear others burdens
best, for they have borne their own.
And they understand the ~disappoint-
ments of others best. AS Is said or
{, Christ, "He was tempted in all points
like as we are" He is able to help IL
time of need.
Christ bears burdens by preaching
glad tidings. He lightened the heart
of John Baptist by sending him the
messages of verses &c.
The heart burdens are the heaviest
Anyone who can bear them has no Teal
, of the rest. No one can alone, Christ
can and does alone.

REST IN CHRIST

ASSN
This Is q .sorEaday world. This IL
the working mans age. The working
woman's too. Those who scorn the
worker have pretty well died out. such
as the grauders of Spain, the nobility
of France, and the lords oil England.
The newly rich OF America are too
near their poverty c O do il success
fully.
David Harum said of the Million
aires riding in their splendid equip
pages on the boulevard Of a great city,
who had made their money out OF the
Erie canals. that II some n should
call out Low Bridge" everyone OF
them would duck his head.
This is all due to Christ. Before
and in his day the person who was
compelled TO work had little sympathy.
The lot of the Israelitish slave In
Egypt was hard. There were few to
sympathize with him and none to help
until God thru Moses delivered him.
At the time of Christ the Romans
who we're the ruling class were super
%cillious and gave no or little sympathy
to the slave.
1t remained for Christ to come and
offer his.
Altho, when. in the summer time,
one is compelled to work long hours
and in the heat, the longing for rest
comes over one, yet there Is present
after a brief respite a renewed desire
for labor. There are few who think
the world owes them a living.
1t is that short respite that does the
work. Christ offers the sufficient re-
spite. He gives vigor for renewed ef'
fort.
This is the age of heavy work
Mighty railroad engines are built
weighing half a hundred tons. Pom
derous bridges are made 10 spar great
rivers. Buildings towering to the
skies are erected. Battleships Iikt
