1922 FACULTY ENTERTAIN
NEW TEACHERS AT BANQUET

Memers of the 1922 faculty of the
Miller Public schools entertained the
new teachers at a dinner party last
Saturday evening, at the Halloween
residence.
Attractive place cards, cleyerly
decorated, and fashioned into pretty
little baskets fer sailed nuts, greeted
the diners
Chefs Halloween, Conger, Jennings,
and Woodward produced an epicurean
banquet that delighted the most cri-
teal palate.
Even Coach B. o. Damberg, who is
famous for his northern Minnesota
appetite, pronounced himself as more
than filed, a real tribute to the cult
nary achievements of the evening.
While the guests were attempting
to muster appetite enough to tackle
the ice cream, Sup't. II. p. Cooper
called on the new members of the
faculty to perform for the veteran
instructors.
following the banquet, the party
enjoyed an hilarious hour of old fash
oned games. Miss Vera Gates proved
to be a wizard at fiddle de winks and
dominoes, suffering only one defeat
in the course Of the evening and re-
ceived a prettily decorated deck OF
cards as a souvenir.
Miss Helen Turnquist found that
Pcllyanna and caroms were too much
for her, and at the end OF the battle
was presented with a toy goat as a
delicate reference to her playing
ability.
After the prizes were presented, the
group gathered around the fireplace
and with Miss Wilson and Mr.. Dam
berg as accompanies, sang some OF
the old and new popular songs.
Finally, as Sunday morning was
growing near, the joyful crowd dis
persed to the gleeful tune of Good
| night ladies' lead by Mr.. Roche.

EIGHTY FIVE RURAL PUPILS
ATTENDING THE MILLER HIGH

The Miller High School enrolment
reached the one hundred seventy-five
mark this week. Eighty five Of these
pupils have come from the rural dis
tricts. This is an unusually large
proportion of rural pupils. The in
in rural attendance in high
school is much larger than the in
crease of town pupils. This is prob
ably due to the fact that before the
three years very few rural pupils
were able to- attend high school on
account of the tuition charges. This
increase in rural attendance during
the past two years has made il pos
sible for the high school tuition fee,
which the outlying districts pay, to
be lowered from one hundred fifty
seven dollars to one hundred twenty
two dollars The larger the enroll
ment IN high school the smaller will
be the tuition. The enrolment from
the country is much larger for the
girls than for the boys. It is hoped
that rural conditions will improve in
the next few years so that it will be
possible for the farmers to send the
boys to high school. 1t seems a shame
that conditions are such that the farm
boy does not have the same educa-
tional opportunities as the girl. The
high school has just as strong a plea
for the boy as for the girl.

FORTY-SECOND YEAR.
N. S. HIGHWAY
NOW COMPLETED
Mid-State Highway Is All Marked
From Wheeler to the North
Dakota Line

President Harlan j. Bushfeld, of
the Mid-State Highway, reported to-
day that the new trail was all mark
ed from the Missouri river at Wheel
err, to the North Dakota line The
highway starts at Wheeler where
the new bridge is TO be built across
straight north through Platte, Kim
ball, Gam Valley, Miller, Faulkton,
Ipswich and Eureka. AT Ventura, N.
d., it joins a state highway running
almost straight north to the Canadian
border. This new road will connect
Glacier National Highway and Red
Trail in North Dakota, and the yell
lowstone Trail, Black and Yellow
Highway and Custer Battlefield High
way in South Dakota. The association
expects to continue it on south to the
Lincoln Highway in Nebraska next
year.
The marking adopted for the new
highway is a white background with
the letters M S in black upon the
white with the letter M above the S.
The highway is all graded at the
present time, several portions Of it
being state aid projects. Next sea-
son will see several parts of it CRAWL
led.
This road, which was originated by
Miller men several months ago, will
be one of the great north and south
highways of the state. 1t affords the
travelling public easy and quick &C
cess to any part of the state by its
p connections with the three east and
west highways. The volume OF travel
over it this season has already justi-
fed the claims of its promoters. With
a complete system of markings and
signs now installed and the publica-
ton of the new road in next years
road maps, many thousands of dol
lars will be spent next season by
tourists in the towns along the route
CT the Mid-State. Miller is situated
at the junction of the Black and Vel
low and Mid-State Highways will re-
ceive an immense share of this in
creased traffic and every effort will
be made to afford travellers assis-
lance and information.

TO KEEP INSPECTORS
One County Man and Seven Assistants
TO Take Care of Tick Work.

Cuero. Tex. Aug. 4.-DeWitt coun-
ty will keep her force of tick inspect
ors up to the present strength OF
county men and seven sub-inspectors,
according to a decision reached by the
commissioners court Monday after a
!, delegation of stockmen had held con-
2farance with the court to protest the
cutting Of the force at this time.
The court. was being influenced by
financial conditions, as the general
fund is now low and a number of time
warrants against the 1924 funds have
already been issued.
The tax levy for 1923 has alread!
been made and is the same as the pre-
ceding year, and it was the thought OF
economy and the fact that the county
is nearly clean that influenced the
commissioners court TO undertake to
cut the tick forces.
Jesse Robards, district inspector for
the livestock commission, and prom
inent bankers and others addressed
the court pointing out the false econ
omy of jeopardizing a very costly and
efficient campaign by cutting forces
too much at this time.
Originally there were thirteen OF
the local inspectors and the cut to
seven besides the county man, was
argued to be as far as the court could
reasonably go at this present time.
The force will stay as it is until
December l.

FLOOD BOND OPPOSED
Hidalgo County May Vote Down s..
100000 Issue, August 13.

McAllen, Tex. Aug. AT a meet
ing of the Rio Grande Valley Water
Users Association, held at Weslaco, a
resolution was passed by a unanimous
vote to oppose the proposed issue of
bonds for the amount Of S2,600,000,
which will be voted upon in Hidalgo
county, August Is, for the purpose of
providing funds for flood control work,
as provided by the Hidalgo county tax
remission bill passed at the regular
session of the Legislature.
The resolution stated that no def
mite plan had been agreed upon by the
valley as a whole for flood control.
and that it would not be advisable to
vote the bond issue until a definite
program for flood control work had
been accepted by the entire valley.
Under the tax remission law, which
RENTS the taxes of Hidalgo county for
a period of 20 years, the voters have
until October !, 1924 to vote the bond
issue. There is no general opposition
10 the voting of bonds, but there is a
prevailing sentiment that they should
not be voted until the program has
been completed, and that the work
should be placed in charge of the state
or federal reclamation services.

Hectic Days In
Liz or N York
BY Jessie HENDERSON.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Aug. 4.-Ain't we got
fun in the city? Half the time we
don't know for certain whether we
still are married and the other half the
time we are lodging things like the
explosion in an ice factory on an up
town East Side .street. In between
whites, il food for thought is lacking,
we can take up the subway skirmish,
the bus battle, or the poison pen bat
-
That's one thing about a big town.
Life never drags. 1t doesn't have
time. It's too short even TO sag a bit
in the middle.
All OF which brings one back by easy
stages to the lady who calls herself
Mrs. Irene Castle fireman. According
10 her friends in Paris. the lady is di-
rorced. According to the lady, she is
not: no matter what the court records
say. It's all just another one of those
things TO which New Workers seem to
be subject in the summer time.
It's Really Awful.
The excitement over whether Irene |
is still Mrs. fireman, however. and |
even the excitement over the Ward !
case and its ever-recurring cablegrams, !
pales before the excitement of living |
in the same block with an ice factory.
The ice factory did the same thing a |
year or so ago.
But whenever the top blows off an |
ammonia tank it seems TO be fresh |
surprise. This time the neighbors,
forewarned by last years experience.
put vinegar soaked towels around their |
noses and dashed for the street. Those |
who didn't know what to do under a |
gas attack merely curled up Imply in |
their homes and waited for the fire |
men to drag their half conscious forms |
out the window.
Better Not to Receive.
Meanwhile two hospitals set UP first |
aid stations just outside the ammonia |
zone. Everyone in the city who wasn't |
inside the zone hurried to the rim of |
it. And altogether vivid time was
had by all for number of hours. Its |
the mostly awfully chubby feeling when |
you're one of several hundred half suf- |
located people rushing round looking |
for q lungfull of fresh air. And it's |
an experience never known by peo-
pie in the rural districts, where ma
tural ice grows freely.
Another thing there came the first |
case on record where a man was made !
poorer by the gift of 100000. 1t |
seems that Frank Auditors gave Miss |
Irene Hays a number of trinkets val
ued at around that sum. Miss Hays |
went abroad with them, got mad at
Mr.. Auditors and returned the jewels. !
Now jewels which change hands while |
abroad are, legally, newly purchased. |
And the duty on newly purchased jew
els, If you bring them into this conn
try. is 50 per cent. So you see how a
man can't be too careful about giving |
presents today.
