GHOST Girl.
HAS KANSAS
CITY JITTERY

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Dec. ID
(ANPl--Those persons who scoff
at no other time in our nations his
world there are no such things are
warned to stay away from Kansas
City under threat of assault and bat
terry il they air their beliefs before
the wrong people.
At the present time, this city is in
the midst Of the greatest spook scare
Of its career, with thousands Of citi-
zens relating in awed tones the story
of ghost girl who has scared two
taxi drivers almost out of their wits,
as we'll as talked at church to the
minister who preached her funeral
The first driver, so the story goes,
was at the bar Of popular night
spot when he met up with d most
charming young woman. After
drinking and dancing together, he
became highly interested and asked
to take her home. She consented.
So they went out and got into his
cab.
where do you liye?' the driver
asked.
Highland cemetery answered
his companion.
Maybe it was the drinks, or the
blindness Of budding love, but any
way the address did not strike him
as peculiar. Even when she told him
the gates were wide open, he
thought nothing Of it.
On the way there she talked
about herself. She was the daughter
of a woman living on Woodlawn
avenue, the girl said, but hadn't
lived with her mother for three
years.
Arriving at the gateway to High
land cemetery. the driver got out
Of the car and opened the door with
a Sir Walter Raleigh bow to his
companion.
The car was empty.
Becoming instantly sober and
realizing where he was, the cabbie
leaped back into his car and drove
as fast as the machine could take
him to the mothers address. Awak-
ening her he told his story - and
was informed the girl was the wo-
mans daughter. all right, but had
been dead three years and buried in
Highland.
It took doctor to revive the man.
The other cab driver, blissfully
unaware of what had happened to
a fellow member of his vocation,
was cruising along Vine street a
couple OF days later when he pick
cd up a feminine fare who was
sensationally attractive.
She directed the cabbie to take
her to Highland cemetery. Since
carrying people anywhere was his
business, he did. When the tax
stopped at the gates, the young wo
man alighted and told him she wa.
sorry she lad no money to pay hei
bill. She instructed him to collec
from her mother on Woodlawn
then went inside the gates. Sine,
she appeared prosperous, the drive
did not argue, but drove to th,
address.
I There he told what had happen
ed, and asked If she had such
daughter. The woman told him sh
did, but the girl had died thre
years before. Then the womal
tainted. However, nobody seems t
know whether she was joined b
| the cabbie.
! Still another story has it that thi
| same girl was at church Sunda
| night talking at length to the mir
ister who preached her funeral !
| 1885. Although her face looked fa
| miliar, the minister did not realiz
| who his conversationalist had bee
until after the young woman ha
| left the church.

BY Washington sfofs Progress commissiea
Washington is one of the ranking
winter sports areas in the United
States, with some of the best ski
terrain to be found anywhere.
Of the est1mated 10000 skiiers in
the United States, 10000 of them
ten percent-Ive in Washington
state.
Skiing has grown In seven or
eight years from mere infant to
the point where it is now one of the
main recreational attractions of the
state, and is responsible in no small
measure for making the state known
as "year-round" playground.
There are upwards of 20 ski areas
in the state, the principal ones be-
ing Mt. Rainier, Mr.. Baker, Mt. Spo-
kane, Leavenworth, Deed Park and
Snoqualmie Pass.
The commercial Importance of
skiing is evidenced by the fact that
Washington skiiers spend an esti-
mated $2,0OO,O0O annually for
equipment, special clothing, trans
portation, food, lodging, etc.

Need White Tag
and New Plates
After This Week

Unless your car carries a white in
specition tag it will become an sun
lawful vehicle" after this month,
according to H. r. Hansen, who has
charge Of the testing station at Pas
co. After that date it is likely that
tickets will be hung on all cars
found operating on the highways
If lacking the sticker. ..
So far, more than half the cars
in this area have been put through
the testing lane, with about 20 per
cent requiring no further attention.
One Of the oldest cars to get q
white tag this week was the 1920
Model T Ford belonging 10 s. L.
Cox-old "348". This car made the
grade on all but the condition of
its lights.
Judge G. F. Winkenwerder's 1925
Chevrolet silent four" coupe also
made the grade, getting a white tag
on the first try.
Also the highway patrol has or
ders to start bringing in cars which
have not been decorated with the
new green and gold decorations on
both front and rear. Saturday is
the last day the old green and white
plates are lawful.

Record Year for
Local POstOffice

That the Christmas Spirit pre-
vailed in this community this year
to a far greater extent than in any
previous year is shown by the re-
cords OF the local postoffice, F. III.
Lincoln, postmaster reports.
More than 10000 OF the 1Jhc
stamps were sold during the past
two weeks and on one OF the busiest
days over 5000 cards and letters
went through the concelling ma
chine, according to records as COM
piled by dispatch clerk Ray Boldt.
This is about four times the ordin-
airy daily cancellation.
More parcels were shipped out as
is indicated by the fact that nearly
$50 sacks full were sent out on one
Of the busiest days. As usual these
went to nearly every state, with the
heaviest shipments going to Neb-
raska, the Dakotas, Colorado, Min
nesota and other states.
1t would seem that every family
must have been remembered, In view
OF the very heavy incoming mail.
On one Of the heaviest days nearly
200 sacks were received besides
nearly 100 sacks Of mail being
handled and IL was necessary to use
two delivery clerks most of each
day in order to clear the office.
As we stated at the beginning OF
the season, MIR. Lincoln said, cards
incorrectly addressed or TO persons
not known here cannot be returned,
or forwarded, SO we have hundreds
that could not be delivered.
While final figures will not be
available until Saturday night the
total stamp and envelope sales for
1888 will be greater than for any
previous year and will total nearly
$l7,500.00, MIR. lincoln said.
All Of the employees wish to ex-
press their appreciation to the pa
irons for their patience during the
daily rush periods and we are in
hopes OF having federal building
here some time SO we can take care
OF stamp sales and package ship
ments much more conveniently.
