COMMERCIAL CLUB
BANQUET FRIDAY
Business Men to Entertain State
Highway Commission

The Miller Commercial Club is pre-
pairing for a dinner at the club rooms
for tomorrow. Friday evening, at $50
to- entertain the State Highway Com
missioners who meet here that day
to discuss state roads, with delegates
from neighboring counties north and
south.
The road meeting to be held at the
Court House at 2 o'clock pm. will be
an important n in which every cit
izen of Miller should be interested,
as well as all citizens of the county,
particularly north and south. In fact
the project Is so large and important
that il u state wide interest, in
a road from Ipswich, through Faulk
Hand, Buffalo, Brule, Charles Mix
counties, to the Missouri river, where
one of the new state bridges will be
built, crossing into Gregory county,
, with possibilities of an Interstate road
through Nebraska. This road would
connect up the three great highways
already established, known as the
Yellowstone trail at Ipswich, the
Black and Yellow trail at Miller, the
Custer Battlefield trail at Kimball.
This road would be of vast benefit
to every county it touches, and the
citizens of this community should put
forth every effort to secure Il.
The commissioners will probably
consider the change proposed on the
Black and Yellow trail between Way
land and Washington.

SENIORS PLAY
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Clever Cast Rendered Comedy To
To Packed House

Seniors of the Miller High School
signalized the approach of Commence
ment by the performance of their an
nual play, last Friday night.
The play "A Pair Of Skies, n three
act comedy. was directed by Princi-
pal Elizabeth Halloween. and the cast
is deserving of much praise for the
renderation of the comedy. Indeed Il
would be difficult to say anyone of the
cast was best, as all took their parts
in a manner that left nothing to be
desired, and some very clever acting
ability was brought to light.
Percy Runger and Lowell Greene
as the two partners in the Eureka Di-
gestive Pill company, who %squabbled
at the least provocation. were ex-
cellent. Madelyn Lowell as Mrs.
George Nettleton, wife of the senior
member of the firm took her part with
much case and naturalness, and Cen
evieve Dunn as the clever fiance of
the junior member was delightful.
Eta Englemann took the part OF Cod
dies, a cockney servant i'm the Nettle-
ton household and in her rendition of
the part was a scream. Dan Churchill
as the firms lawyer was all business,
even in his love making.
Roger Simons played his part as the
meek book-maker for the firm very
well, Is did Sylvia Sieman as the
stenographer. Alma Spain was a
typical michevious office boy, and Har-
old Goudie as the dapper young sales
man and Lyonel Hines as a prospec-
tive customer for the Eureka Diges-
tive Pills played their parts excellent
ly.
Miss Marion Corcoran rendered two
delightful songs between acts / and
2. and Miss Blanche Chirchill gave
two delightful selections between acts
III and III. Music was furnished by
the High School Orchestra.
Altogether, the play was a delight
from start to finish and was attended
by a packed house.

ing of a ship N spontaneously, a
tribute to the man who through adj
vertising made the Proctor and Gam
BILE soap product known the world

cause the first step in selling a pro-
duct is to attract attention. Having
been attracted by the martial music
of the mounted band, the jazz music

SECOND GAME
Eleven Errors and Eight Hits Give
HighmOre Z Runs, While Miller
Counts But Once

Highmore copied the comedy of
errors" here Sunday by a corr of 2
to 1. The whole Miller team seemed
TO have an off day and errors we're
chalked up against every man except
F. Brinker, Damberg and Salisbury,
who substituted for Mccarthy in the
sixth.
Highmore started their scoring
early, in the second Mccarthy mis-
judged Halgrimes liner, with the re-
suit that it went for a home run. A
single and two errors accounted for
two in the same inning. Two
singles, a sacrifice and an error
counted another run in the fifth. In
the seventh two singles and an error
filed the bases, all scoring on the
next play, while Miller was throwing
the ball around the diamond.
On the offensive Miller did not seem
to have the necessary punch to bring
in scores, although in the nine in
nings forty-four men faced the High
more pitcher, seventeen of them dy-
ing on bases. In the second, LIST and
End were occupied with none down.
in the third the bases were filled with
one down. The bases were filled a
gain in the 4th. Two men were on
in fifth and also in the sixth when
we managed to get one across the
plate. The bases were filled again In
both the Sth and 9Th, but hits were
not in order when they meant runs.
The pitching hcnors were slightly
in favor of Brinker, the local twirler,
who allowed s hits, walked n man,
and struck out six, while Hill Of High
more allowed IL hits, walked four
men. hit one batsman, and struck out
seven.
