MANY SEALS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN SOLD
PHYSICIANS OF AUDUBON COUN-
TY UNANIMOUS IN SUPPORT
OF THE VENTURE.

| The Christmas Seal Sale started
in earnest last week and will con-
tinue throughout the month of De-
cember. So urgent is the need of
funds that the Audubon Community
Club purchased seals last week in
order to put one of them on each
paper issued from this office last
week. This was very generous of the
Club and will help to put Audubon
county in the front ranks.
The sale in all Of its branches is
meeting with success and the var
ious chairmen report splendid pro-
gress. The business men are sub
scribing for a liberal number of the
seals; the school teachers and pu-
pills are doing their share and all in
all 1t looks as though the amount to
be realized will equal that Of last
year.
The seal sale has the unqualified
endorsement of physicians of the
county. In a signed statement Civ
en- to Mr.. Mallonee they have the
following to say:
DR.. r. F. Childs: stop, look.
listen, fellow citizens Do you
know that the worlds greatest enc
my. tuberculosis is yearly destroy
ing the lives of thousands upon
thousands of our babies and citi-
zens? Do you know that the Anti
Tuberculosis organization ia making
wonderful progress in stamping out
this disease? II you do know this,
and you certainly must know it, you
will give your financial aid to this
cause"
DR.. w. H. HalIoran: 1.-THE chief
victims OF tuberculosis are the I'M
der-nourished, ll-fed, weakened
poor. To eradicate the disease we
must readjust and improve the
housing, living and working condi-
tions of our working classes or OF
our very poor. The children need
open air schools, free lunches, and
milk to build them up to resist con-
ditions to which they are exposed@
While most of us can not do much,
we can help in our small way. The
easiest and best way is to purchase
literally Anti-Tuberculosis Christ
mas Seals. Save a life where you
can"
DIR. p. Soc: There is not, as
YOU and I know, any association
that has done more to relieve hu-
man suffering than the Red Cross
in relieving sickness, poverty, and
in preventing disease. Its aim is TO
bring happiness and comfort to
many, and 1 venture to say that K
will make the donors happy to sup
mort this cause, as il always does
when we help a good cause along.

Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Andersen, re-
siding near Wichita, died at the
parental home, Of diphtheria, on
Tuesday. The remains we're brought
here yesterday for burial. On ac-
count of 1t being a contagious dis

Mr.. Andersen and his family lived
east of Audubon until a year ago,
when they moved across the line

for year and a half awaiting de-
clslon before anything could be
done. He failed to explain that this
was accomplished by North Dakota
poison ivy as part of their diaboli-
Cal scheme to hamper and embar-
rass operations; that these skunks
knew all the time that they had no
chance OF favorable decision by
the court, but did it merely to re-
tardF progress and TO give themsel-
yes and their dupes, like Hall, mis-
cradle excuse to go before the peo-
pie preaching that old 81 told you
so" bunk. The supreme court, of
course, recently decided i'm favor of
the farmers and now things up
there are moving forward with all
possible haste. He did not say my
thing about the millions of dollars
saved the farmers of North Dakota
as direct result of the Nonpartisan
League program during the past
four years. No, this was too small
an item. He didn't mention any
thing about the state home building
law, the soldier bonus (the greatest
In the country), the grain grading
and dockage law which alone has
saved the farmers of that state mil
lions of dollars, which had previous
~ gone into the Golfers of the grain
speculator. He forgot to mention
anything about the $1.0OO,OO mill
and elevator now in course of con-
struction at Grand Forks. He fail
ed to make the slightest mention Of
the $2O,00O,0OO to $30,OO0,0OO on
deposit in the Bank of North Da-
kota today, and all this and a great
deal more being accomplished in the
face of the most stubborn and law
less opposition Tom Hall made
another mistake. He forgot to tell
hid i3.e audience that the Nonpar-
tisan League was not being oppos-
ed by North Dakota people, but by
outside interests, the same gang of
blood suckers that filched the poo
kets of the farmers of that state
for years and years until the con-
dition became unbearab1e and the
farmers were forced to organize in
self defense. II is because these
same thieves are being deprived of
their graft, and because they know
that the only way they can ever
hope to again get control is through
the elimination of the Nonpartisan
League that that state is being
flooded with campaign dollars, hired
liars and we'll paid traitors. If it
is worth so much trouble and the
expenditure of so many millions OF
dollars to the thieves. why isn't 1t
worth devil of fight on the part
of the farmers to keep this gang
out?

Four Attempt to
Make a Getaway
With Ford Car

On Monday evening during the
speaking, notice was presented to
Mr.. Barlow which stated that Ford
car belonging to r. o. Gauper of
Claire City had been stolen. No
trace could be found Of the Offend
ers. The next morning it was learn
ed that four boys of this city had
taken the car and had gone through
the Valley, and had run into sand
pile some distance on the other side
of the town which overturned the,
car and besides wrecking the ma
chine, broke the leg of one of the
boys.
Their intentions are not known.
but it would seem that they intend
ed to make no short trip Of it.
The three boys who were not in
jured were put in Jail, and the other
is recuperating from the injured
leg at the Powell hospital.
We knew something of this sort
would happen and have called the
attention of the public to this car
swiping practice that has been go
ing on for sometime. Altho it is a
severe one, boys who have enter
tanned any idea of maneuvers of this
sort should remember that 1t is the
finale of all such foolishness.

a terrible ending. The great eman-
cipator, one of the Hall boys, has
come, spilled the beans, and left
things in horrible mess. And all
this too just when we thought
everything was going SO smoothly.
We have about given up politics as
hopeless. Solution? 1t can't be
did.
A little more detail may have
tendency to make our point more
clear. The Republican campaign
fund in Roberts county being quite
ineXhaustible and lots of the lucre
waiting in case OF need, the beauti-
full idea was conceived to spend
some of the surplus to get speakers
down here from that horrible Bollll-
lllshevik state, North Dakota, to tell
the dear people what a degenerate,
idiotic bunch of farmers there is
up there. So they got Tom Hail.
You know Tom-yes, he's one of
the Hall boys. And Tom proceeds
with his terrible recital.
He began by assuring the unfor-
tunate audience that he was no
speaker. Now if he would have only
waited a minute this part of his lee
ture would have been useless. But
he didn't. He probably thought he
was talking to a North Dakota au-
dience where. according to Tom,
everything has to be labeled lest is
be mistaken for what it really is.
Anyhow, he told us he was not a
speaker. He said he was just a
plain man. Perhaps plain clothes
man. But that doesn't matter.
Then he hurried to tell us that he
was farmer, and said he had been
born and raised on farm, and was
yet farmer He said also that he
was labor man, an iron worker,
that he had spent number of years
working on the railroad, about six
teen years in the newspaper busi-
ness, and numerous other occupa-
tions. and finally wound up by say
ing that he had served four terms
as public official in North Dakota.
Now had Tom not told us in the be-
ginning that he had been farmer
all his life and only plucked from
the field to do his bit as public

Indians Make
Good Progress

Parker.-Among the numerous
delegates at the annual meeting OF
the Presbyterian eanrches of South
Dakota, which this week closed at
Parker, We're several Sioux Indians
from west of the Missouri river, and
from the region in the northeastern
part of the state, formerly known az
the Sisseton reservation.
These Indian delegates were of
intelligent appearance and were
modest and mild-mannered. To one
who saw the savage and repulsive
ancestors of these Indians SO years
ago, as was the case with c. F..
Hackett, veteran newspaper man
OF South Dakota, the appearance Of
these delegates was a great inspira-
tion. Mr.. Hackett said:
1.-The christianizing Of these In
dians is wonderful tribute to chris
tianity, to the sacrifice OF the early
missionaries and to the generosity
of those who aided this missionary
work with money and prayer.
"Forty to so years ago, when Da-
kota was young. large proportion
of the Indian population was on the
warpath. Murder and massacre
were frequent The Indians were
savage as class. Their hands were
against the whites and the hands
of the whites were against the In
dians.
"A few missionaries like Rev. Mr.
Cook and the elder Williamson and
Elder Riggs, came to Dakota. risk
ed their lives in planting the gospel
and leading the Indians to chris
tianity The blanket, the tomahawk
and the warpath were abandoned
when these Indians embraced chris
tianity Education scattered ignor-
ance and the nice modern Indian
home succeeded the wondering tepes

Grain Import

The following article mailed to
the Minneapolis Tribune throws
some light on the importing of Can

publican propaganda circulated re
Gently.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
Senator Kellog, speaking to the
people at Crookston. October IL,
told the farmers that our president
is the cause of the slump in the
wheat market, because he allows
the wheat to come i'm from Canada.
He says Canada has big crop. This
is true, but it is not unusual, and
he says that Canada can raise wheat
cheaper than can the United States
and this is true, for he says the
lands are so much cheaper in Cam
ada than in the United States. This
is also true, but why are they cheap
er, and why do they produce larger
crops? 1t is because Canada is a big,
new country, and she has the soil
and climate and the long days,
which is the cause of the big yields,
and of raising No. hard wheat. He
says Canada raised over 25O,000,-
900 bushels of wheat this year, and
that is true, and Senator Kellogg
says the reason for Canada shipping
her wheat to our markets here is
because the Canadian dollar is only
worth 80 cents in our money, and
that wheat has slumped As cents a
bushel in the past three weeks, and
he trys to convey the idea that the
cause is Canada being allowed to
ship her wheat into our markets,
but he says nothing about the gen
