MILLER VS. ONIDA In
LAST HOME GAME

The local high school football team
will play the fast Onida team on the
local field on Friday, November 10th.
This will be the last gamt on the home
field this year and an unusual crowd
is wanted. The boys have not had as
good a season as last year, but all the
more reason why they need thY sup
port of the sport fans of Miller.
The team met its third defeat
against FIT. Pierre last Friday at that
place. TfE score was 6 to 0. The
touchdown came in the second quarter
when by a criss-cross and forward
pass FIT. Pierre took the ball to Mil
ler's ~three-yard line. On the second
play thy circled Miller's right end
for a touchdown. During the first
quarter Miller had the ball on FIT.
Pierre's ten yard line and again in
the third quarter had the ball on the
FIT. Pierre five-yard linz. The Miller
line play ed an excellent defensive
game, holding FIT. Pierre to only orr
first down during the second half
and throwing them for a loss as many
times as they gained.
TT. Pierre had two good ends which
alone were able to do a great amount
of damage to the Miller ofiEnse. Their
secondary defense played a good game
in breaking up forward passes.

new AUDITORIUM
OPENING DELAYED
Corn Show and Dedication WIN Be
Held One Week Later Than
Date Announced

Delay incident to shortage of work
men and part of the heating material
has made necessary the postpOnement
OF the opening date Of the Miller Corn
Show, Auditorium Dedication, and
Frolic, from December 9Th and 7th to
December 18th and 14th. The post
ponement caused no inconvenience
though IL brings the date quite close
to til, Christmas Holidays, a feat
ure the committee ~endeavored to
avoid.
Farmers intending to enter exhi-
bits in the Corn Show, should be Sc
lecting tlt,ir corn now and laying it
away where mice can not get to it.
Many good show ears have already
been ruined by mice.
For those who have never selected
corn for Exhibition, perhaps a few sug-
gestions as to what to look for, may
be timely.
The ears should be heavy, solid, well
matured, well proportional and dry.
The kernels should be deep, wedge
shaped and should cover the ear
from butt to tip i'm straight ows Tho
tip should be well ROUNDED. The ears
should all be of uniform size and
shape with the same number Of rows
On each ear. The ears should be as
near the same length as possible.
Avoid the largest and longest ears,
these generally make the poorest ex-
hibit. Discard immature, starchy.
very rough, discolored, diseased ears,
and ears OF odd shape and size. Avoid
ears with shallow, wide kernels.
Throw out yellow ears tina are mixed
with white kernels, and white ears
that are mixed with yellow kernels.
Also throw put yellow ears with white
cob and white ears with red cob.
For this district the State Corn
Show regulations SPECIFY that ears
should not exceed Eight inches. Most
Of our best corr is over eight inches
in length, and this rule will not be
rigidly adhered to, In the Miller Show.
In bringing or sending the exhibit,
II is advisable to wrap the ears in
newspaper to prevent kernels being
broken or separated from the cob.

out of which will be born a complete,
mutual confidence. May every son
learn to regard his father with the
deepest respect and to look upon him
as a fine comrade, as a constant and
unfailing fr,end.
May the fathers of the state remem-
Der that it is not enough that they
provide food and clothes and shelter.
Sons are r~ightful1y entitled not only
to these things, but they have the
right to personal time and attention,
daily council and advice, out OF which
will develop a fine, splendid comrade-
ship. In short, every son in this state
is entitled to the very llest which a
father can give.
trust that each father, at least
once during the coming week, will
attend one Of TIE Father and Son
meetings and that the men who have
nc o n will take an especial interest
In the boys who are fatheriess. We
have a splendid type of boyhood in
South Dakota. Our boys are worth
doing for and worth living for.

SECOND GAS WAR ON. GOVERNOR.
WILL SELL GAS FOR Is CENTS

Mitchell, Nov. 13.-Acting on orders
of Governor w. H.. McMaster the state
filling depot here today started selling
gasoline at Is cents per gallon or two
cents under the prices of Standard and
Independent filling stations.
The station did not seem to be rush
ed with busirless, reports said.
Sioux Falls, S. d., Nov. 13.-The
second gasoline war" in South Da-
kota is to start in Mitchell tomorrow.
In protest against the increase of
two cents a gallon by the Standard
Oil Company, and the independents on
Saturday, Governor w. II. McMaster
announced here today hat the state
will sell at Is cents, which he declares
a fair figure.
Governor McMaster made this an,
n~ouncenSnt in his address, at the col
isetkn this afternoon. He told the de-
tails and reasons of his actions I'm an
interview.
The increase in price for South Da-
kota was made to equali1e that which
the Standard Oil company is able to
obtain in other states, Governor Nc
Master said. But South Dakota Is
able to determine for herself what is
and what is not just, no matter what
otter states may submit to he de-
clared.
His action was caused by the offer
last Saturday Of 400, 900 gallons of
gasoline in mid-continent refneries,
at six and three-fourths cents, he SAID.
This offer also held for any portion
thereof.
The approximate freight to Sioux
Falls he placed at 2.94 cents, and al
lowed for a two-cent tax, the whole
sale price would be 11.94 cents. A pro-
fit of four cents Is sufficient for the
handling, he declared.
1T as indicated at the conference
in Pierre, August Is that a profit OF
this amount would be sufficient" the
governor declared. THE market has
not changed since that time. The re-
cent increase In unjust"
