This League has as its principa,
object the development of our citi.

mans conscience may become his de

and lawlessness, and lead him into
ways where prosecutions will not be-

To this end a committee has been
appointed to look after local work
one to look after the same work in
the county, and one to look after
work among the colored people, urg-

in the same sort of an organization,
for encouraging and developing the
colored people into the best possible
law-abiding citizens.
These committees are all composed
of good strong men and women, who
will count not their lives dear unto
them but will work untiringly to
establish every department of the

TWO DIE IN DUEL OVER
LAND FEuO At REBECCA
w. A. Nasworthy of Turner, Jep-
son Barlow of Wilcox Dead
DUEL ON COUNTY LINE
Coroner's Juries Sit in Two
Counties Today on Shooting

REBECCA, Oct. wv. A. Mas
worthy, prominent farmer of Turner
county, and Jepson Barton, promi-
nent farmer of Wilcox county, are
dead as a result of a pistol battle in
front Of the Nasworthy premises, six
feet from the line separating the two
counties, at 2 o'clock, this afternoon.
1t is believed that they shot and killed
each other. There were two witness
es of the killing, who probably will
be called upon to testify at coroner's
inquest to be conducted in both coun-
ties Monday.
1t appears that the dead men had
been at loggerheads for years, over
a land line, they having owned adj
joining property.
Sheriff O. B. Jarman and Deputy
Sheriff Story of Turner county, and
Sheriff L. E. Gibbs of Wilcox coun-
ty, are investigating the affair.

Accordingly she began to go reg
ularly to the meetings of the Aid
Society and soon found herself with
plenty to do in that organization.
She entered into the spirit of The
work with heart and soul and what
ever was given her to do she did
thoroughly.
Repairs and improvements were
necessary ON the church property
and the Aid Society assumed the
burden of the responsibility for the
work. Various methods were resor-
ted to for raising the necessary funds
as is a widespread custom in our
churches. Zoe was prominent in
the work and was almost tireless in
her efforts.
1t was decided to give meals at
the Fourth of July celebration in
the village. Committees were
appointed and arrangements made
for carrying out their purpose. So
llcitors were sent out to invite the
surrounding populace to contribute
toward the necessary supplies for
the occasion.
Zoe entered into the spirit of the
movement with her accustomed en-
ergy. 1t was impossible for her to
give half way work. Whatever she
did she did with her might, and
because Of her enthusiasm she was
appointed chairman of the refresh
ment committee.
Every woman who has been in a
church aid society has some idea OF
the strenuous work required on
occasions of this kind. Zoe who
had never taken an active part in
such an affair did not spare herself
and found before the day was over
that she had reached the limit OF
her endurance. Allen noted the in
creasing gray pallor of her lace with
anxiety and was not surprised when
he was summoned to take her home.
1t was several days before she
had entirely recovered from the
strain. Clemantine with the young
er children's assistance prepared the
meals and kept up the usual routine

in the home.
Zoe had ample time while forced
to be idly by to sum up the extent
and real worth of her efforts. The
dignity of service had lost its halo
to her enlightened eyes. Many
things had transpired which gave
this form of servio sordid appear
ance not at all in keeping with work
for the betterment of mankind.
She had been surprised and shocked
at the evidences of self interest
which some of the most prominent
members did not attempt to conceal.
She felt glad that she had not
found all like that. There were
some Jealous workers who were will
ing to perform the mos mental
tasks for the good of the cause re-
gardl SIS of what others did, but
many evaded the toll leaving the
wearisome toll for the few.
One OF the society sisters came
the next day to call and incidentally
to talk the matter over. Zoe was
too tired and ill to discuss it and
the visitor stayed but short half
hour, but the time was not too
short for complaints and fault find
ing. The "shirks" and there were
few others were bitterly denounced.
II don't wonder she is cross grain
ed, she is all tired out "Zoe said to
herself when she was again alone"
l wonder if its worth while or
right. We've neglected our homes
and nearly worked ourselves to
death, and after all our outside So
Letting we haven't realized much
more than we donated. l can't
believe the Lord requires us to
work beyond our strength.

CHRISTMAS HEALTH
SEAL SALE

Social workers all over the state
are being mustered into service for
the annual Christmas Health Seal
Sale, from the proceeds of which
the entire activities of the Iowa
tuberculosis association and its
local auxiliaries are financed.
The seal sale this year will be
conducted during the entire month
of December, with a goal in view
OF selling 10 seals per capita for the
state.
Women's clubs, public welfare
bureaus, school superintendent,
community centers, public nursing
associations and similar organiza-
tons are taking over the seal sale
movement in many communities.
Only a small percentage of the
receipts goes to the state association
Tor its work of supervision and CO.
operation the greater portion Of the
funds being retained in the
communities where they are con-
tributed.
A complete tuberculosis survey
Of the state is one of the plans for
the association in 1921. The work
Of the Modern Health Crusade is
also to be greatly extended.
A large number of tuberculosis
clinics have been held in the state
summer, and several others are
contemplated.
More than one half of the state
have already formed a seal sale
organization. The Red Cross this
year has turned over the entire seal
sale activity to the national tuber-
culosis association, and will cooper
ate in the campaign, but will not
directly share in the proceeds.
An opportunity is offered to local
organizations to finance extensive
local campaigns for public health,
child welfare and anti tuberculosis
activities through conducting the
seal sale. Interested organizations
are invited to communicate with
T. j. Edmonds, executive secretary
of the Iowa tuberculosis associa ton
