The parcel post weight limit, in the
case of these foodstuffs and such other
surplus supplies as the war depart
ment may later distribute, is increased

be computed. For example, the post
age on l25 pounds, at the third zone
rate OF cents for the first pound and
cents for each additional pound up
to 1875 pounds will be $2.54. Should an
individual order total more than 12i
pounds Gncluding weight Of contain
ers), sufficient postage will be collect
ed to cover each unit Of l25 pounds OF
fractional part OF l25 pounds.
If the zone surplus property officer
should not have in stock all items list
ed in the requisition. he will ship what
he can and Immediately notify the
postmaster as to shortages, returning
the proper amount with which to re-
imhurse consumers.
Upon arrival Of the material at the

STAFFORD STRUCK BY AUTO.
Severely Hurt, But No Bones Are
Broken-Driver Did His Best to
Prevent Accident.

John A. Stafford of l68 Western ave-
nue. is confined to his home as the
result of an accident Wednesday when
he was struck by an automobile, but so
far as DR.. w. II. Lane, the physician
who was called to attend him at the
time of the accident, could find no bones
were broken and it was said yester-
day that it was believed he suffered no
more than a bad shaking up.
Mr.. Stafford returned to his home
from his work with II. f. Prefontaine,
who was driving his Ford automobile,
followed closely by another car. When
Mr.. Prefontane stopped his machine
for Mr.. Stafford to alight the latter
heard an automobile horn and supposed
it was from the car directly behind
them, as he had noticed no car APP
preaching from the opposite direction.
He started to cross the street in front
of his home and was struck by Ford
truck coming east and driven by Gil
bert II. Kent, who works for X. G.
Averill
Mr.. Kent had sounded his horn and
had no reason to expect anyone to cross
the road SO closely in front of his ma
chine. He turned quickly to the right
driving the car across the car tracks
and sidewalk in an effort to avoid hit
ting Mr.. Stafford, but the latter was
whirled into the air. The men on the
scene took him into the house and DR.
Lane was summoned.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.

This community was brought to
mourning last. Sunday when the news
was sent out that Mrs Jonathan Wright
had passed away at the Wright home
northwest of Custer. Mrs. Wright has
suffered failing health for some years
and the end came quietly. The Wrght's
are old pioneers. Coming to the Black
Hills in 1879 they have lived near Gus
ter ever since.
Mrs. Wright, who was Nancy William
Johnson, was born in CoviBgton, X. |. !,
in 1852. She became the wife of Mr..
Wright in 1877 and for 40 years. they
have lived and raised their family in
this community. Two children, Walter
and Maud, were born to them and were
present at the funeral which was held
from the Congregational church on Tues
day, November llth, 1919. The sermon
was by Rev. w. S Harper. Two very
beautiful solos were given by Mr.. But.
ton, an old friend of the family-"L Lead
Kindly Light" and "When | Shall See
Him Face to Face" The Choir sang
Nearer my Sod to Thee"
Many beautiful floral tributes bore
evidence of the high esteem in which
this loving wife and mother is held by
those who koew her. The interment
was in the Custer cemetery.

HALLOWEEN PARTY.

The delightful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles L. Perrin was the scene of much
wonder and merriment on October 3lst,
when Master Edwin as a member of the
Freshmen class and as host for the even
ing helped so royalty to entertain the
faculty and his classmates.
The guests arrived in ghostly attire
and were greeted at the door by the
historic witch who prufered her cold
and sIimy hand, but the clasps were
ones of haste, accompanied with shrieks.
Thus the shrouded procession moved on
through various spooky rooms to the
dolorous tones of funeral march.
Thence upstairs, under the leadership
OF Master Edwin, who with candle be-
guiled them into deeper gloom and
greater mysteries, until fnally they
were brought face to face with dang
ling skeleton which ratified and swayed
as the members of the class listened to
their prophecy given in ghostly terms
and tones.
So with the thousand little quirks and
quirms that are bound TO accompany
such scene the party returned to the
bright rooms below, aud on unmasking
were given caps made of their class
coors which they wore the remainder
OF the evening. Then they were made
more happy just at this time at the ap.
pearance OF the glstenlng white pop
corn balls and beautiful red apples.
Now came the many games that we all
so much like-games that are in keep
ing only on Halloween. And Delight
of Delights, more dalnties, some of Mrs.
Perrin's delicious ice cream and cake
Then with music closing the Halloween
festivities, the guests departed each con-
gratulating the other for the opportunity
of being present

TUBERCULOSIS ON pHEINoREAsE.

TUBERCUboSIs ON THE INCREASE.
Tuberculosis has increased its already
tremendous death toll in the United
States during the past year, according to
DR.. A. E. Kepford, the state lecturer on
tuberculosis in Iowa. He gives as the
cause for the increase, which if his as
sertion is correct will bring the number
Of deaths during 1919 above the l50, 900
mark, the high cost Of living and its re.
sultant hardships and the epidemics
which have swept the country. Infiu-
enza, and pneumonia, he declares, have
had their influence in. prediSposing
cases
Beginning on the first day of Decem-
Der, the National Tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its one thousand affiliated or
ganizations will place more than ESQ.,
100000 Red Cross Christmas seals on
sale. The intensive sale will extend
through the tenth day of the month.
This fund will be spent during 1920 iu a
nationwide campaign to educate the
public in the best methods Of preven-
ton.
Behind the educational campaign is
the grim realization that the United
States is more seriously menaced by
tuberculosis than was believed probable.
"A recent survey revealed one million
active cases of the disease in the coun-
try. In the opinion of the National
Tuberculosis Associations experts, only
the awakening of widespread public in
terest and its resultant application of
preventive methods can check the con-
stantly growing death rate from the

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILES AN HOUR OVER
CITY STREETS.
De PALMER AT DENVER SHOW
Champion Adds Unique Record for
Maximum Speed - Claims GraV-
eIed Boulevard Liveliest Track
He Has Ridden.

Denver, Colo.-One hundred and
twenty miles an hour down a city
street bordered by thousands of peo-
pie was Ralph De Palma's contribu-
ton in his aviation motored twin six
to the programme of the Denver auto
show.
The intrepid Italian and his Packard
took the cross walks of Logan Boule-
ward at 50 miles an hour and attained
their peaks of 120 in the short stretch
es between. Thus, to his achievements
on speedway, straightaway and road
courses, the champion added unique
record for maximum speed in city
street, and Denver made one for sus-
pending police regulations.
De Palma said, after the run, that
the graveled boulevard was the live
liest track he had ridden, and that if it
were smoothened and extended he was
sure he could touch 100 miles an hour,
beating his own Daytona official rec
ord by 10 miles.
"The people crowding the curb made
everything look like black funnel" J"
he said.
