BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
HELP FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

In 1900 the death rate from tuber-
culosis in the United States was 219
to every 100000 people. In 1921 the
death rate was about 100 to every
100, 900 people. Had the death rate of
1900 prevailed in the United States In
1921, 100000 people more would have
died than actually did.
The reason for this splendid reduc-
ton in the death rate of tuberculosis
is due to the educational campaign
Of prevention which was started by
the National tuberculosis Association
in 1904.
The first step in health education in
South Dakota along these lines of
health or tuberculosis was taken in
1913, when the funds derived from the
first sale of Christmas Seals was used
to distribute literature among those
who were interested. Since that time
up to and including the present year.
the tuberculosis Work in South Dako-
Ia has doubled itself many times from
a financial standpoint and the results
are beginning to speak for themselves.
In 1910 the death rate in South Da-
kota was fifty-fve for every 100 900
population. In 1920 the death rate
was As to each 100, 900 population, and
for the first six months in 1922 the
death rate was 43. 1t is possible to
reduce this death rate to almost moth
ing, but 1t can only be done through
education along the lines of preven-
ton.

Judge Beede, who spoke tonight be-
fore the Chicago historical society,
sis that it was a defensive battle for
their wives and homes. 1t was no
ambush. They insist II was a fair
fight in the open, and the best side
won. They maintain that the white
general, his cavalrymen slain and
himself wounded in the side. took his
W life with his revolver. 1 believe
the account"
The Judge said that in connection

Several Recent Fires
Blamed On 'Fnebug'

Highmore, Nov. 2S.-A number of
recent fires on farms of Hyde county
has given rise to the fear that a dam
gerous firebug is operating in differ
ent parts of Hyde county. The most
recent fire which is believed to have
been deliberately set by the unknown
was on the farm of Russell Heating,
who lost his large barn and a large
haystack from a fire of mysterious
origin.
In the barn, in addition to grain and
other property. were eight good cows,
seven or eight calves and about 40
head of shoats, and all these weer
burned to death.
When Heating discovered the fire
late at night it vas burning in two
places, at the corner Of the barn and
in a haystack situated about 100 feet
from the barn. This alone indicates
that the fire was set by some unknown
person, as the ordinary fire would not
break out in two places at once.
Heating does not smoke and there
had been no one about the farm so
far as Heating knows who smoked,
so the fire could not have been started
by sparks from a pipe or a cigarette
stub. ...
This was the second recent fire in
that immediate locality and is thought
to indicate that some demented person
with a mania for setting fire, is run
ming at large. .
A farmer driving along the highway
the night of the fire saw a mysterious
man walking along the road and it is
believed he may be the firebug.
The frequent fires on farms have
greatly alarmed the farmers of that
part of Hyde county, and every effort
now is being made to ascertain the
identity of the person who is thought
TO be responsible for the fires, so he
may be taken into custody before fur
Their fires are set.

c. P. S. Wins ON
BREAKS;L.0CALS
FIGHT TO FINISH

In the game played ON Sweet
land field yesterday the heavy
College OF Puget Sound team re-
ceiged tse breaks and won from
the Willamette team 80. Yester-
days game was the last college
match in which White, Balm and
Cellar viii play. It's said that In
four years of Willamette football
Cellar has not been out OF the
game more than thirty minutes, a
real record.
The game started with the
Sound college forcing the play on
line plunges. With Willamette
holding occasionally for downs
and punting and the visitors
bringing the ball right back and
adding little before they lost on
downs, they were gradually get
ting closer to the goal line. A
few minutes before the end OF the
first quarter the first score came
on a safety when Patton, kicking
behind his own goal line, did not
get away in time and the ball was
blocked, Willamette man recoy-
ering behind the line.
Intercepts Pass.
In the second quarter William
ette Jared better and after a num-
ber of exchanges Of punts had
worked the ball to the Puget
Sound college ten-yard line. Line
plunges failed to bring the re-
Quired yardage in three downs anu
a forward pass was attempted.
Quick as flash an opposing play
er whipped in and took the pass
just as it was in the hands of a
local player, and aided by some
fine interference ran 95 yards to
o touchdown. Try for goal miss
ed.
The rest Of the game was a hard
fought affair with Willamette TAX
ing few chances and punting on
the first down many times. When
the ball was in the middle OF the
field they attempted forward
passed, many of which We're good
for short gains. Patton, kicking
for the Bearcats, got away some
good boots, one travelling go yards
with the average around 40. The
visiting punter was handicapped
by poor passing by the center. 1t
was said by some yesterday that
the ball changed hands more times
than in any game they had seen ON
the local girdiron.
Cellars Run Useless.
In the last quarter few min
utes before the end of the game
Cellar got around end and made
one of the most spectacular runs
through broken field that has
been made here. After he mad
crossed the line for what he
thought was touchdown he saw
the referee standing on the side
line away down the field calling
for the ball. He had ruled that
Cellar had stepped out of bonds in
trying to avoid being tackled. The
game ended with the ball in mid
field.
The field was heavy and many
fumbles were made with the side
making them usually recovering.
During most of the game a cold
rain fell. Only fair-sized crowd
,.,itnaesed the match.
