PRICE FIVE CENTS BLACK HILLERS HOLD PICNIC IN CALIFORNIA The following account of a recent picnic of Black Hills or former Black Hills people held in Los Angeles, supplied the call by Charles W. Rose. Mr. Rose describes the event as follows: "Our semi-annual picnic was held recently and as usual the day was ideal everyone had a glorious time visiting and renewing old acquaintances. For some reason which I am unable to explain there was an absence of real old timers and many inquiries were made for them.

"Mrs. Grier, our president, appeared early on the scene and spread on the table a large box of real "Cousin Jack" pasties with instructions to all to help themselves. It is needless to say that they didn't last long. Mrs. Grier dropped a check in the collection hat which is passed to defray expesses and said check should entitle her to a life membership.

While we are on the subject of donations we cannot refrain from mentioning that Mr. R. H. Driscoll during his last visit with us left enough to also entitle him to life membership. "Mr.

and Mrs. M. L. Magnusson of San Diego planned to be with us but were unable to do so as Mrs. Magnusson was taken ill just prior to the meeting.

"Jim Plunkett and Bill Lenk were both there with their chests sticking out as they are proud fathers of babies born within the past month. "Madison Ballantyne with headquarters at San work Francisco was present, having here in our locality which will keep him until the middle of December. "Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Foss who arrived the day after our last picnic departed for San Francisco a week previous to our present meeting consequently missed seeing many of their friends.

The writer is just in receipt of a letter from them stating that they were present at the Black Hills picnic held in San Francisco and telling how they enjoyed meeting the Lead people located there. Alvin mentioned that Frank and Plunkett Kurtz were in charge a contract covering construction part of the of new San Francisco waterworks artd the following Lead boys were employed thereon. 1. Carl Russell, John Butler, Will Moore, Ed Green and H. R.

Stromer. "Cam Rock was with us and I can't find words to convey properly the delightful expression which he carried as one after another face puzzled him for minutes and to finally call them rightly. "Mrs. Maurice Powell, better known as Kate Young to her friends of 25 years ago, was delighted with our picnic and would like to stay until the next one. Well she will be here long enough to dodge a few snow storms at home.

"Charles Gerhardt, formerly of Deadwood, and a boyhood chum of the writer 34 years ago in 1 Terry, stopped off for a few hours and looked up his friends. Charley was with the orchestra playing on a boat plying between Seattle and Ensanada, Mexico. He has resided in Seattle for many years. "A photographer appeared on the scene during the picnic and succeeded in getting the bunch together and we hope the picture will be good. Although many had left there were probably 150 in the picture.

"All the Thompsons were present. Ralph is now superintendent of the Cadillac agency in Pasadena. "Since our last meeting the following members have passed on--Dr. Zerfing, Mrs. Boyer and Rita Rich." Following are the people who attended the Mrs.

The local post of the American Legion is now devoting its efforts toward a larger membership, and definite steps toward increasing the roll of the post were taken at a meeting last evening when Commander R. G. Cartwright appointed team captains to work out the campaign. Under this plan it is hoped that every ex-service man in Lead and its environs will be interviewed and invited to join the Legion. The team captains are Andrew Julius, heading the surface team; W.

C. Robertson, heading the mine team on the Ellison side, and one other yet to be appointed to head the mine team on the and side. These team captains will select their own teams. The Homestake post at present has more than 100 paid-up members and it is hoped that this number will be greatly increased. No membership campaigning has yet been done.

In the state and nation-wide membership contest of the Legion this district, comprising Lead, Deadwood, Belle Fourche, Spearfish, Sturgis, Newel, Nisland and Buffalo, is matched against the Southern Hills district, which includes the Rapid City and Hot Springs, posts.

Since these teams tied, both will provide the supper.

All ex-service men are invited to this meeting. LEVEL DROPS OF DURING PRICES OCTOBER BROOKINGS, Nov. level of South Dakota farm prices dropped eight points from the middle of September to the middle of October, Prof. R. E.

Post, of the department of agricultural economics at South Dakota State college, said today. The five-year average drop from September to October is six points. On October 15 the price index stood at 111, lowest for any month since June 1924 and one point below August 15, 1930. This low level is 32 points below October 15 a year ago. The South Dakota figure for October, however, was five points higher than the index of farm prices for the entire United States.

The United States index at 106 was five points below the figure for September and 34 points below October of last year. The October 1930 index for the United States was the lowest for any month since February 1916. Except for sheep, eggs and wool, prices of all 15 commodities included in the South Dakota farm price level figures in the general decline from Since September latter 15 date to Octobmany of the products have made additional declines, Professor Post said. Hogs were down sharply 80 cents and lambs dropped 60 cents. Corn took cent decline while flax fell 16 cents.

Wheat remained fairly steady but recorded a 3 cent drop. Potatoes came down 35 cents a bushel. Cattle slumped 10 cents, chickens 2 cents, barley 5 cents, oats 2 cents, hay 90 cents, rye 8 cents, butter and butterfat 1 cent. Preliminary figures on the level of prices for the things farmers buy indicate signs of stability, Professor Post said. When the South Dakota farm price level of October was translated into farm purchasing power, the farmers' dollar was estimated to have been able to buy 74 cents worth of living commodities.

This compares with its purchasing power of 80 cents in September 1930, 93 cents in October 1929, and 97 cents for September 1929. SENATOR ROBINSON ASKS AVOID EXTRA SESSION WASHINGTON, Nov. Desire to avoid an extra session of congress was voiced today by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader, upon his return to the capital. HORSE AND BUGGY FADE ENTIRELY FROM PICTURE PIERRE, Nov. of the horse and buggy as a mode of travel is emphasized by the South Dakota highway commission's 1930 traffic census, during which 173,053 motor vehicles were counted on the state's main highways.

Although they made 20-hour counts in all parts of the state during two months this summer, census takers did not at any time report seeing this once popular conveyance. Although buggies drawn by a single horse seemed to have vanished, the census showed the percentage of horse drawn vehicles of other kinds remained about the same as during the last five years. This year 799 horse drawn vehicles were reported, which is about .36 of one per cent of the total number of motor vehicles. On roads in northeastern and southwestern South Dakota, where there are several Indian reservations, horse drawn vehicles were most numerous, indicating that Indians have not become entirely reconciled to motorized travel. With only 213 reported, the number of motorcycles showed a decline from previous years, said H.

E. Abell, office engineer, who compiled the report. The number of motorcycles reported was .12 of one per cent of the motor vehicle total.

SQUADRON OF 12 PLANES TO FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC ROME, Nov. aviators hope to end the old year and ring in the new with an unprecedented feat a formation flight of 12 planes across the Atlantic. Italo Balbo, air minister and daring pilot, himself will head the expedition which expects to take off December 15 from Orbetello, 75 miles northwest of Rome for Brazil. Savoia-Machetti seaplanes, modeled the fleet which will progress in easy after he Italian bombers, will la make up stages, the to African Cartagena, coast to Spain, the hop- and ping-off point, Bulama, Guinea. Their departure for the new world, after general overhauling, will be timed for the light of the full moon and dependent on good weather, probably between January 5 and 8.

They will make for the nearest point of Brazil -Natal-crossing the equator in mid-ocean, and then proceed down the coast to Rio de Janeiro. By the mass formation flight, the largest ever proposed for a transAtlantic attempt, Italy hopes to demonstrate the reliability and possibilities of aviation. Each plane will carry a pilot, copilot, mechanic, and radio operator. Each will be equipped with special instruments and a new small but extremely powerful wireless set. To Balbo, Mussolini's right-hand man in making Italy air conscious, the proposed venture will be the climax of two other squadron flights he has led, one in 1928 to London and Berlin, and the other last year around the Balkans and the Black Sea.

It will be the third trans-Atlantic venture to be backed by the Italian government.
