Air Postal Rates

New postal rates for air mail continue the
odd system of charging more for single
two-ounce letter than for two one ounce let
. tiers. The new rate swill be cents for the
first ounce or fraction thereof. and 3 cents
for each addition ounce or fraction, The
present rates are five and 10 cents. Most
persons using the air mail will divide any
letters that 40 over the first ounce into
two or more sections. sending them for 10
cents instead of II cents. The postoffies
department will merely have TO handle two
letters instead of one in each case, eoneelling

ficient money is raised. Mr.. Mueller
plans to have workmen on the ground
in early September and the building
ready for occupancy 80 days later.

sometime Tuesday night or Wednes-
day morning by an unknown party

glycerine was again used by the safe
crackers to blow the door from the
safe.
The door was completely knocked
apart from the rest of the safe and
only the shell remained attached after
the explosive had been set off.
Admittance to the office Of the
elevator was gained by forcing the
door open with what officials believe
was tire iron.
The highly explosive material was
poured into the safe through the
cracks in the iron door where it was
warped by a previous fire and is be-
lieved to have been ignited by fuse.
None of the other furniture or fix
lures in the office were damaged.
Henry Goblirsch, owner of the
elevator, stated that five dollar bill
was left in the safe with some small
change and he estimated the loss at

MONTGOMERY BOY
CRITICALLY HURT
IN CAR ACCIDENT
Ralph, 18-Year Old Son of Mr..
and Mrs. Vern Montgomery,
Injured Thursday
RECOVERY is PROBABLE
Two Other Youths Suffer Minor
Injuries in Crash on
Morgan Road

Ralph Montgomery is unconscious
and severely hurt at the Redwood
Falls hospital as the result of an &C.
cident Thursday evening in which his
car was struck by one driven by Wal
lace Lauterbach one mile south of
Redwood Falls in front of the Louis
Cheney farm.
The 18-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vern Montgomery of near Red
wood Falls was in critical condition
for several days, but doctors now
hope that he has passed the crisis and
will improve.
Ralph was thrown from his car and
suffered a probable basal skull tract
ure, loss of ten teeth, a bad scalp
wound, cut on his chin that required
several stitches inside and outside and
a left elbow liberation.
The accident happened about $3.50
p. m. where the driveway to the Louis
Cheney farm meets the Clements and
Morgan road, about mile south of
the city. The Montgomery car turn
ed onto the main road just before the
crash.
Wallace stated that he saw a car
coming out of the driveway without
lights and he thought the car was 60
ing to turn right, so he swung over on
the left hand side of the road to go
by. The other car continued across
the road toward the farm buildings
on the other side and Wallace again
turned back to the right side, strik-
ing the rear end of the Montgomery
car.
Wallace cut his lower lip when he
struck the steering wheel. Everett
McCuskey, who was in the Lauter-
bach car, was thrown against the
windshield, slivering it into long
cracks. He received bruises around
the face and arms.
The accident was one of a series of
misfortunes which have befallen the
family recently.
Thursday morning fire threatened
to destroy their home when flames of
unknown origin were discovered in the
pantry. They were extinguished
without serious damage. Recently
a younger son suffered broken arm
when a team ran away while he was
hitching it to wagon.
