IL 10 O..

Miller retained her position in the
league standings by defeating High
more Sunday by a score of 8 to g..
Miller was retired in the first with
little difficulty but in Highmore's half
the balloon went up. A walk, two err
rors, a hit batsman, two fielders
choice and another error netted them
four runs. The side being retired by
a double play Nelson to Walsh.
Miller got their first In the second
on Koch's single, a walk to Brinker
and sacrifice by Spain and Salisbury.
The third and fourth were blank.
Both teams scored one In the fifth and
Miller added another in the sixth. In
the seventh Miller tied the score with
two runs, the bases being full when
the side was retired, but Highmore
took a one run lead in their half when

second by Walsh, Clark singled, Koch
singled, scoring brinker and Clark.

and Miller's half of the ninth produc-
ed no thrills. 1t looked dangerous in

MEETING
CLOSES SUNDAY
Ten Days Of Excellent Programs
Come to Successful Close

The camp meeting at st. Lawrence
came to a successful close last Sun
day night. BY all it was pronounced
the best meeting of recent years II not
the best ever. The director of music.
Prof. Reukert was always efficient and
helpfully popular The evangelist,
DIR. Leroy Mitchell was a favorite. He
was entertaining but %forceful; direct
and pungent: fearless but humble.
That he was invited to return next
year was a testimony TO his efficiency
and popularity. Never was the inan-
cial interests so easily cared for as this
year. On Sunday afternoon the bud
get was presented by the Rev. Gard
ner and in a few minutes was over
subscribed. The recreational features
of the ten days were unique and great
ly enjoyed by young and old. The
definite spiritual results can not be
tabulated now. But II is safe to say
that nan for the first time entered
into the Christian life and others re-
newed their covenant with God and
pledged themselves to greater activity
and service. Others, especially young
people, and many Of them, decidedly
offered themselves for some form OF
life service should they be led into IL,
while some settled the question that
they were TO go to foreign fields to
propagate there the glorious gospel
Of Christ. We predict that should
Mitchell return next year that a still
greater camp meeting will result from
his work with us this year.

DEATH CALLS PIONEER

Word was received by Hand county
relatives last week announcing the
death of Mrs. Ella Johnson Davenport.
at her home in Sioux City. She was a
pioneer settler of Holden township
where her parents located In 1882. She
resided In Miller for some years and
was an expert compositor on the
Press. She was In the neighborhood
of 81 years of age, and leaves two
married sons to our her loss. the
husband and father having preceded
her a year or more ago. No partic-
ulars were learned, but II was presum-
ed by relatives that burial would be
made at Sioux City.
Old timers recall the fact that n
Johnson family, father, mother, two
daughters Mary and Ellis. were among
the county's earliest settlers, having
located on government land In Holden
township by squatters rights before
Hand county land came on the market.
All four members of the family have
now passed to the great beyond.

LOOK BULLHEADS OVER
THOROUGHLY FOR WORMS

IL you are going to eat perch and
bullheads from South Dakota lakes
this summer cook them thoroughly
and look them over carefully. as worm
infested fish have been found in sew
eral places, according TO a bulletin
from State college.
IL is not uncommon to find the perch
and bullheads of the northern lakes
speckled with yellow spots during the
ksummer months. These spots are oval
in shape and are about an eighth OF
an inch long. They can usually be
seen just at the base of the tail fin
or under the skin along the back.
More careful examination, however,
will show that they can be found on
the gills, among the internal organs
and embedded in the flesh OF the fish
almost any place.
These yellow spots, according to
Professor f. c. O'Roke of the college
zoology department, are living worms
parasitic in the fish. III one break
open the cysts containing a worm,
the worm will crawl about over a wet
surface with a measuring worm move
ment.
When a heron, bittern, Or gull eats
one of these infected fish, the worms
attach themselves To the wall OF the
food tube OF the bird and grow to
maturity. They then lay thousands OF
eggs which upon Matching into mic
roscopic larvae, probably find their
way into the bodies of snails. They
then undergo further development and
multiplication, emerge from the snail
and enter the fish. All OF this time
they ale so small that they cannot be
seen with the naked eye. but once In
the fish, they soon grow to be OF
noticeable size.
Thorough cooking of the fish kills
the worms, although they probably
would not PARASITIC a human being
anyway. But II Is something Xix
wormy cherries; one doesn't like the
idea OF eating them. Writers some
times speak of wormy fish as being
unfit for food.
These parasites r technically
known as Trematcde worms and are
commonly called fukes.

THE PERIL OF HARVEST

The policy of some churches and
many individuals would lead one to
conclude that during harvest time one
need neither religious form or n
thusiasm. Hence the preacher may
have a long vacation and the churches
be closed and the people In general
| are at liberty to cast on religious res
traint and devote their Sundays and
time to labor and recreation of all
kinds. AS IL religion IL needed at all,
were needed only a part of the year,
never in dog days.
II would be delightful to write OF
| the blessings of harvest; of its joyful
anticipation, of the fragrance OF the
new mown hay, of the beauty Of the
billowy fields, of the song of the
reapers, of the hum Of the machines.
| etc, etc. But we need remember that
| all blessings are attended with peril;
that a blessing unapprCciated and
| misused, becomes a menace Hence
il seems to the writer 1t is best to use
| his allotted space in pointing out some
| harvest perils and for a Bible founda-
| ton he chooses the lamentable words
found in jeremiah 500, THE harvest
Is past, the summer Is ended, and we
| are not saved" What are the perils
| which may result so disastrously?
/. First is hard work, excessive toll.
| That is not so perilous as no work
| but Il has its perils. Spirit and body
| are closely related When the body
is overworked the spirit is sympathet-
| ic with II and Loses much OF its en-
| thusiasm and only under powerful
| stimulant will 1t respond to its full
duty and privilege. Such loss con-
| stitutes a grave peril. To the best
| religious life enthusiasm is a neces-
| sity. A sense of duty is also a neces-
| sity but when one can not enthusiast
ically approach duty, duty is likely to
| become cold, hard and repellent, con-
s%eauently denied and Stunned.
The discovery OF this loss may be
considered a spiritual relapse which
i'm turn may lead To abandonment oil
| spiritual pursuits. But all this time
the flesh may be crying for rest which
IL granted before too late may contrib
ute largely to the restoration OF the
needed spiritual enthusiasm.
@. Secondly, the heat OF harvest, the
humid atmosphere and hot sun may
make the cool places over inviting
and thus constitute another peril. III
Is at this season that the lakes and
watering places receive too much at
tenticn, especially on Sunday. II is
now that the cool shade Is so seduct-
i've. At times to lie In the shade Is
almost heaven to the over worked
1 body. To call one rom such restful
sabbath repose may seem almost
cruel. But brother, what about your
soul? Your obligations to God? You
responsibility to your church and to
your fellow man? These are res
possibilities ever present summer Q,
winter. Dare you neglect themr
8. The third peril is the preoccupiec

BY Rev. Paul Gardner.

ind. The cares OF harvest are
among the cares of the world that
Jesus said choke out the word" In
harvest fret and toll we are prone to
forget the God of harvest. In ancient
times the Jews had their feast of har-
vest at which they presented at the
Court of the Lord the first sheaves, a
concrete reminder and testimony of
the recognition of God with whom
man is but a ~co-laborer In producing
the grain.
a. The fourth peril is that OF loss.
Every mar should be diligent to gath
er in that which God and he has pro-
duced and IL he neglects this import
ant work none a pity him for the
loss sustained. But his should not be
an over anxiety, an anxiety that leads
to violations OF the laws OF God and
man by harvesting on Sunday under
the pretensc of necessity. The writer
| has known some. of the most success
full farmers in the state and since the
days of homesteading they har-
vested on Sunday. 1t is always more
profitable in the end to obey he God
of Harvest than to- disobey him.
s. The fifth peril is that we overlook
1.-The spiritual lesson that harvest
| should teach, namely that life time Is
| mans harvest time. What matters II
IL YOU succeed in reaping a bountiful
harvest and have full bins and are
| rich I'm material things IL you are not
| rich toward God? Remember he rich
| fool of whom Jesus spake. He had
| gathered great harvests and his en-
| larged barns were filed and he said
Soul. take thine case for thou hast
| good for many days" But God said to
| him, Thou fool, this night Shalt thy
soul be required of thee. Then
whose shall these things be-" so
| shall IL be with him who Is not rich
toward God"
Readers, you have a good harvest
but what about the God Of Harvest,
do you honor Him? Some of you Will
soon be saying. well, / have my grain
' safe" But what about your soul? IL
It safe? II this should be your last
harvest, your last summer, what then!
You work hard to save your grain,
but your soul, man. your soul! What
about your soul, your eternal harvest?
Will you. my brother, my sister. will
you have to take up the sad cry. THE
harvest is passed, the summer Is end
ed, and I am not saveds" o friend,
God OF Harvest loves you. Be rich
toward him. Lay up your treasure
lin heaven NOW.
A pastor OF the writer said he
preached one night on this text. After
the sermon he approached a young
man about his religicxs life. The
young man laughed at him. That very
night the preacher was called from
bed to visit the same young man
where horse had fallen with him. He
reached his side In time to only hear
him say THE harvest is passed. the
summer is ended. and I am not saw
ed" Be saved! BE saved NOWl

Just by way of contrast, please re-
member this: Fifty years ago, a
bang up good horse could be bought
for 800. II you were rolling in wealth
and wanted a stopper" you would
of course. have to double the price.
If you did not want TO bother to curry
and feed him, keep your buggy wash
ed and your harness oiled, the board
stable man would 90 all this for you
for $1,000 a month. With any kind OF
care a four year old horse would
answer your purpose for the next
fifteen years.
Taking your depreciation into ac-
count, your car expense is anywhere
from $4,000 a year as a minimum to
as many thousands a year, depending
of course on the number and price or
glands YOU originally purchase.
We do not want to go back to the
slow moving horse, but whenever you
hear your neighbor kicking about
taxes and the general high cost oil
living. Just tell him that In your
opinion, while II costs more to live
IN the United States it is worth a
tIamed sight more.

WASHINGTON, July 16-If the state

foreign governments to establish the
right to search rum sellers IL miles
