SNODGRASS AND OFFICER
Seem to Be Winners In the Democratic
Primary Saturday.

The best information available
touching the primary election held in
this judicial circuit and Chancery di-
vision seem to indicate that the official
count will be necessary to determine
beyond question who the winners real
ly are.
The friends OF Judge L. +. Snod-
grass claim that he has won over his
opponent. l.. A. Ligon, of Smith coun-
ty. by at least $50 votes.
The friends of General Officer here
are claiming about the same. All ad-
NIT however, that the official count
may change the majorities or reduce
them to smaller margin.
IN this county Judge Snodgrass re-
ceived the handsome majority of 400 or
more, while his opponent received less
than 25. In the home county of his
opponent, where they can vote close to
5000, Judge Snodgrass received less
than rs votes, according to reports.
The friends of Judge Snodrgass are
highly grattied at his success and es-
specially the splendid vote given him
in this county.

RED CROSS XMAS SEALS.
Why You Should Buy Them, How Used
and Where to Be Had.

Red Cross Christmas Seals are sold
to fight tuberculosis. They have a uni
form price of one cent each. Since
1908, when the American Red Cross
first issued seals. the number of Its
workers selling seals and the number
of purchasers has multiplied each year,
until last year a record sale of l04,
600, 600 seals was reached, or over
81, 900, 900 for tuberculosis work.
For this fall alone an issue of over
400, 600, 600 seals has kbeen printed, as
many as were sold In the nine previous
years. During those years the public
was but gradually coming to realize
the value of the campaign against tu-
berculosls. With the entrance of the
United States into the war, reports
have come from Europe showing tuber-
cul0sls to be a serious obstacle to VIC
tory. In France $4,000 soldiers have
been invallded back from the trenches
with tuberculosis and the number of
cases among the civilian population
has increased immensely with the war.
has likewise fallen heavl-
ly on the other nations at war.

Entire War Expenditure for 1919 Less
Than for 1918.

Chairman Fitzgerald of the house

out the following:

but of necessity. Neither means of
itself will raise enough money. We
are facing a period of unexampled
taxation. Nothing will escape"
Unofficial estimates of probable ap.
preparations for the fiscal year ending

that they will total from So, 0O0, 900, 600

Lloyd George, in England and in
