out of bed as the deep thunders rolled
. and sped down the highway, the
!. story is told? So quickly he few
round his neighbor's high fence,
; that four yards OF nightshirt went
thiher and thence around the tall gate
post that stood in the way, where tat
ters are found of it, this very day. So
ghostly, KluxKlannish, this vision
moved on, that his neighbor, no mat
ter, maybe Harlie or John, cried out.
Take my money, my canvas, my wife,
but spare me, bold spector my short
horn, my life!" Howe'er, twas the
canvas this hob-goblin hobbed and
soon up the roadway to his haystack

The Schlechty home with its entire
contents was destroyed by fire Sunday
morning at 1880 o'clock. Mrs. Schlech-
ty, who was alone in the building at
the time, gives the story of the fire as
follows: The two boys, Ralph and
Gene, got up about 7 o'clock, started
the fire in the heater, then called up
to me to stay in bed as they wanted
to go out to look at their traps which
they had set. | remember hearing a
roaring, cracking noise, got up and
hurried down stairs, only to find the
sitting room filled with flames and
smoke. Fire was everywhere and l
rushed right out and rang the bell for
help but the ames had gained such
headway that nothing could be saved"
Such a disaster--a home which has
taken years to build up and equip,
all gone in an hours time, is enough
to crush even the strongest of US.
Mrs. Schlechty whose health is far
from normal, suffered a nervous break
down and shock and has been under
| the doctors care at the Joe Weltmer
home since the fire, but she, with her
two boys will 60 to the home of her

BY payment Of two months premiums
on war risk insurance which has lspsed
over Is months, former service men and
women who can pass the required phys.
ical examination for wounds received
in or illness aggravated by the war, may
reinstate their insurance any time be-
fore January !, 1922, according to the
governments latest announcement. II
the examination can not be passed the
insurance may be resumed by payment
of premiums for all months which are
unpaid plus the stated interest at five
per cent, compounded annually. Those
IN the latter class who wish TO benefit
from the insurance will therefore have
to start back payments Immediately in
order to finish them by the end of the
year. The government is especially
equipped to handle these cases of re-
sumed insurance with the greatest
speed possible, so that none may be
lost through lack of time War insur-
ance which is now in force may be con
yerted without physical examination
into any Of the following forms prior to
March 4, 1926: 20 payment life, 20 year
endowment, 30 year endowment, or en-
dowment at the age of 80, As is ad-
vantageous to former service men and
women to make the conversion, the gov.
ernment advises that it be done as soon
as the persons circumstances permit.

AUTO OWNERS WILL BEAR
GOOD ROADS BURDEN

Pierre, S, d., Nov 29.-The automo,
bile owner within little more than q
year, is going to bear the entire burden
of state highway Improvement in South
Dakota. The general taxpayer is going
to be relieved of this expense as the re-
suit Of two laws passed by the last ses
sion of the legislatuTe-Onep putting tax
of one cent per gallon on all gasoline
used in motor vehicles on the highway
and which goes into effect January lst,
next, and the other increasing the mo,
tor vehicle license fee and which goes
into effect January ! 1928
1t was estimated by Representative +.
g Kneeland, of Custer county, father
of the bill, that the gasoline tax would
yield the state S250,OOO in revenue an
nually based on the 1920 consumption
OF the fuel. In round numbers the new
automobile license law will yield 81, OOO,.
900 annually, making a total of &, 250,-
900 with which the state can meet fed.

ways without raising cent by general
taxation.

persons who use the roads should be the
ones to pay for their building and up.

and the taxpayer in general are going to
be relieved of this cost, the only thing
relative to highways they will be called
on to meet being the interest and sink.

600 Of which were provided by the leg
islature that created the highway com
mission and of which $4,000 900 worth
have been sold up to the present time.
This is ye.y small amount compared to
what the automobile owner will have to
pay, as the levy necessary to take care
of the bonds already sold is .35 of one
mill, These are ten-year bonds, which
it is expected to pay off within that
time.
Two Of the main objects of the gaso-
line tax we're: First, to make the man
who used his car the most, pay the
most; and, second, to make the automo-
bile tourist pay something for the roads
he uses.
Largely, the same theory was back oil

being based on the weight of the car

The address on every letter, card, or

TENTS FOR TOURISTS
The State Park Board Decides to
Establish a Tent Colony al
Sylvan Lake

Decision to augment the present &C.
commodations at Sylvan Lake by a
colony of tent cottages was reached at a
meeting of the Custer state park board
under whose auspices the Sylvan Lake
hotel property is operated Work will
be commenced this winter the board an
nounced on this colony, which will be
located in the rayine above the hotel,
and near enough to it to allow easy
access to the hotel dining room forthose
who care to take advantage of it.
Wooden frames will be constructed,
twelve by fourteen feet in size, over
which will be spread heavy canvass
tents. The interior of these canvass
cottages will have a slightly elevated
floor and will be SO arranged that they
may be divided into two or more sec
tions. Frames for cottages sufficient to
quarter twenty-five or thirty people will
be erected this winter and ifthese prove
popular with the tourist, others will be
built next summer The last season
drew to the Black Hills and to Custer
state park the largest assemblage of
tourists in history. Nearly all of them
came by automobile, some with their
own camping equipment, while others
depended upon established hostelries
Sylvan Lake hotel, which can accom-
modate 100 guests, was over-crowded
most of the season and hundreds were
turned away. 1t is to care for this over
flow next year and for those who want
less expensive accommodations that the
tents will be erected. In addition to the
colony, the board will construct, during
the winter months, garage with a
capacity of fifteen cars. Here gasoline
and supplies will probably be sold.
Heretofore the town Of Custer, seven
miles down the mountain from Sylvan
Lake, his been the nearest source of
supplies for stranded motorists The
board at its meeting reviewed the work
accomplished in the park during the
last year and made plans for the coming
season.
