Editorial Comment
The Angel Of Discord
(The National Tribune)

The old Mahometans in the days Of
conquering the, earth met frequent
rebuffs and were often in peril of de-
struction by the overpowering might
of their enemies. At the opportune
time, however, the Angel of Discord,
operated among their enemies and
saved the MoslemS from eXtermina-
ton. This was notably after the
great Christian victory of Lepanto in
1%71, when discord broke out among
the Christian victors and saved the
Ottoman Empire.
Thus the Turks, in their eXtrem-
ity, have always looked to the Angel
Of Discord and prayed to her to save
them.

TO ERECT MONUMENT
in CENTER OF STATE

In the near future travellers
coming n over the Black
and Yellow Trail will find a monu-
ment erected in the center of the trail
at a point about six miles north of this
city, which will be approximately %
feet high, aid will have embedded in
the concrete base a bronze tablet
showing that as the center of South
Dakota, and the approximate center
CT North America.
The highway will be constructed
and graded about this monument, and
to be certain that no reckless driver
breaks ii by smashing into il, the base
will be nine feet square and four feet
high, and OF this will be another block
almost as large to be topped with the
monument about Is feet high.
This is the result of the efforts of
Doane Robinson, of the state histori-
cal society, to properly mark the cen
ter of the state and will be as much
of a landmark on the Black and yell
low trail as is the Lone Tree near
Colman, in Moody county, which
stands in the center of the intersec-
ton of two of the principal highways
of the eastern part of the state and
is known to every driver in that part
OF tts state.

MILLER Wins GAME
FROM Rec HEIGHTS
Nelson's Two Bagger and k0ch's
Homer Scores Five Men
In Ninth

Miller made it 500 per cent in the
league standing last Sunday by cap
turing the game from the Rec Heights
team by a score of 4 to 3, Miller
drove in two more by Koch's homer in
the ninth, for good measure, although
they do not count in the score column.
Tht game was a tight affair all the
way through until the ninth inning
when Miller let down the bars and
allowed Rec Heights to- o three
uns on two hits, n a three Dagger
by Lake and two errors.
Miller didn't fare much better dur
ing the first six innings, but in the
seventh one man crossed the plate on
hits by A. Brinker and Schroeder.
Miller could not score in the eight
and Rec Heights took the lead in the
ninth by their three scores. 1t looked
like Miller had lost the game when
with two down in the ninth and
Schroeder on first the game was call
ed fer a short time by a small show
err. After the shower Clark started
to save his own game by lining a
single past short, f. Brinker got a
hold of a high fly which Shirk could
not held On to, filling the bases. Nell
son batting for Walsh brought in the
tying runs, when he scored Schroeder
and Clark on a two-bagger past
third. Koch put the game on ice
when he drove a hot one over secon
and past the center fielder. He ran
the hit out to get credit for a home
run.
The league leaders, Onida, will be
here next Sunday and with Onida's
reputation for winning games 1t
promises to be a real base ball game.
