Jp' The People’s Voice Visited Buffalo Bill's Grave Denver, Nov. 5, '23 Editor Dally Democrat:— 1 thought a description of a trip 1 took over the Rockies, on Sunday, Nov. 4 to Buffalo Bill's grave, might be of interest to a few of the people, who were lovers of "The Wild West Shows.” We started right after dinner and when I say we, I mean Mr. and Mrs. Milton Breckenridge, (she; that was I.anra Jelleff) two of their friends and myself. Drove out through Denver to Golden, and from them on up it was a steady climb, over as crooked a road, "hair pin curves” as 1 ever saw~on up and up, until you reach the summit Y)f the Rockies, (SOOn ft.) which were covered with snow, find the evergreen trees, which made a wonderful picture with the bright sun shining upon them. The grave, where lies all that was mortal of Buffalo Bill, the once famous owner of the Wild West Shows. There is a screen over the grave, and through that screen all manner of mementoes have been! thrown, money, hair pins, jewelry,! tnd so on (make a wish and it will! come true.) Went into the Memorial: 1 House which contains his silver

Drove back over the road, the Harding party ! drove over when two of their party were killed. They must have been , going at a terrible rate of speed, to - have gone over and down this precipice for there Is a large mirror at this place, to show the curve, where you are supposed to drive slowly. As I stood at the grave, Edgar A. Guest's ; poem, "Memoirs" came to my mind: ; "I vc stood at the grove of Buffalo Bill On a mountain crest and I’ve felt the thrill Which ho must have felt, ns I saw below The prairie’s wide of his long ago. I've heard it told how he journeyed there With the breezes tossing his steelgray hair, And his soul rejoiced at each changing* scene Which marks the haunts where his youth had been And I understand why he asked to lie Through the last long sleep 'neath that open sky. / Your friend. JENNIE FURMAN, 54 S. Logan. Denver. Col. —o New Road Maps Issued By Highway Commission New maps of- the Indiana state road system containing recently adopted mileage, and showing renumbering on approximately 20 percent of the roads, have just been issued by the state highway commission. John D. Williams, director of the state body, has ordered maps sen' to each newspaper office in the state hotels and numerous garages. The map is free if the public will eithei write or call at the department office' in the statehouse. The Standard Oil Company of In diana. Inc., has placed maps in theii 200 filling stations in this state and by receiving a traffic report weekly from the commission showing condi tion of the roads, is prepared to per form an excellent service to the mot oring public.

Indianapolis, Nov. 10.—Anthracite is scarce in Indianapolis, and what there is, is sky-high. A canvass of coal dealers here today revealed this situation. “The price is clear out of sight,” one dealer said, "and what you get is one-third slack." Anthracite is retailing at $7 a ton. compared with $15.78 last year. Freight rates have always added largely to the price of the Pennsylvania product. This year, according to R. B. Copstick, of the state chamber of commerce, a scarcity of supply and the pay increases granted the miners boosted the production cost. This has been “placed on” to the consumer. Coke is being urged as a substitute for hard coal by many dealers. It is selling for sl2 a ton. Motorists Association Officers To Meet Soon Washington. D.

History of Xmas Seal Movement Is Interesting The history of the Tuberculosis Christmas Seal movement in Amari- . ca is of Interest at this particular i time in thq year when "White Plague” ‘ opponents in this community are start ; Ing to finance the 1924 anti-tuberculo-sis work through the sale of penny I Christmas seals. Sixteen years ago Jacob Riis wrote ; an article in the "Out-look" magazine, telling of Christmas stamps sold in Denmark for the support of the Children's Hospital. Miss Emily J Bissell, Wilmington. Del., sold seals for the first time in this country and raised SI,OOO to pay on a site of the tirst tuberculosis sanatorium in Delaware (Hope E'arm). From that time on. the growth in popularity of the penny stickers became greated and extended into far corners of the coun try. From the first it was realized that the organized movement to combat tuberculosis could have widespread education value. From 1908 until 1919 the Christmas Seal sale was sponsored by tbe American Re.l Cross. By that time the fight against the "White Plague" had outgyown the emergency basis on which tile American Red Cross most often operates, and for the first time the seal, in 1919, carried the double-barred red t cross ,the specific symbol of the fight 1 against tuberculosis and the official I emblem of the National Tuberculosis Association. The latter organization has 1200 state and local agencies in l the United States. As early as 1907, 300,000 of the little Christmas seals were sold. From I that small beginning a score of years has seen the sale of Christmas seals | leap to a total of 384 million sold in 1922. Approximately 2 billion ChrisItmas seals have been sold, and 8 bill- I lion have«been distributed to various , agencies since the first Christmas seal sale. This year throughout the | United States the National Tuberculosis Association has distributed more than 1 billion seals. I
