In a test for speed and accur-
acy in typewriting, given last
week, Miss Lolie Gold of the
Fredericksburg High School,
wrote 685 words in fifteen min-
utes, made four errors, thus net-
ting 59 words per minute. This
compares favorably with a late
speed and accurrcy test sent out
by the Underwood Typewriting
Company in which a contestant,
who had been especially trained
for this work, wrote 1041 words
in fifteen minutes, made fourteen
errors, thus netting 59 words per
minute.
On Thursday Miss Esther
Durst and Arthur Dietrich were
united in marriage at the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. Rev. G.
H. Houy officiating. Now that
the construction of the new
church is in progress, the hall
adjoining is used temporarily
and it was here that the cere-
mony was performed.
Attendants to the bride and
groom were Miss Etna Durst and
Erwin Itz and Miss Frieda Koenig
and Ruben Crenwelge. The
groom is a son of Mrs. Louis
Dietrich, the bride is a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Durst.
After the wedding ceremony
the party was hospitably enter-
tained at the home of the parents
of the bride. In the evening the
Palo Alto band and choir appear-
ed on the scene to serenade the
young couple and express their
good wishes.
The young people have made
their home in the Palo Alto
community, we extend our best
wishes for a bright and happy
future.

At another mass meeting the
citizens will get an opportunity
to pass upon the limits suggested
by this committee. Chairman
Usener will announce the date
for the mass meeting as soon as
the committee has finished its
work.
The court house room was fill-
ed to full seating capacity for the
meeting. The discussions brought
out many good points for and also
against incorporation. Postmas-
ter Kneese when called upon by
the chairman explained that a
citygovernmentf or our population
is limited in its taxing powers to
65c to the $100 valuation.
There were no ladies attending
the meeting. At the next meet-
ing we hope they will turn out, a
matter of such importance as in-
corporating the town should be
at least of interest to them. They
helped to carry the school bond
recently and now that electric
fans are necessary, they are using
gigantic efforts to supply these
before the next summer arrives.
We should like to see them deve-
lope sufficient interest to turn
out when the next mass meeting
is called.

The ex-service men met at the
Legion Hall on Sunday, Armistice
Day, and had a glorious time.
You who are healthy possess the
greatest treasure of this world.
This fact we ordinarily pay little
attention to and we do not worry
every minute about the ill health
of our fellowman. Once a year
some of us give a little thought
to those unfortunate ones afflicted
with tuberculosis. For years the
familiar Christmas Seal has ad-
orned packages. Did you know
everyone sending a package with
such a little seal contributes just
one tiny little bit to make the con-
dition of these unfortunate ones
more endurable, to give them at-
tention and rest, which in many
cases starts many an afflicted one
on the road to recovery and
health?
Annually thousands of people
die in the United States because
of tuberculosis. Last year 107,
000 people died of this cause.
Many of these deaths can be pre-
vented, if proper care and rest
can be had. Between the ages
of 15 and 44 there was last year
one death out of every five caused
by tuberculosis.
In the United States there are
963,000 active cases of tubercu-
losis. Tuberculosis costs the com-
munity $250 per person. In Texas
alone the loss due to this disease
is over a billion dollars.
But we are fighting the disease
and are getting results. Last
year the death rate due to tuber-
culosis was 99 out of 100,000 po-
pulation, in 1904 it was 204 put
of 100,000. That means a reduc-
tion of over one half in 18 years.
The Tuberculosis Christmas Seals
have played a prominent part in
this decline.
The 16th. annual Sale of these
penny life savers starts soon.
Mrs. R. G. Striegler has accepted
the chairmanship of this commi-
ttee. Prepare now to invest a
few pennies in these health sav-
ers. You owe this to yourself to
you fellowman. Get a few of
these Christmas Seals from Mrs.
Striegler, Chairman of the Seal
Sale for Gillespie county or from
any member of the committee.
