CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE A SUCCESS

Expressing the belief chat tuber-
culosis is receiving its death blow
through education Of the people," Mrs.
Edythe Tate-Thompson, executive
secretary of the California Tubercu-
losis Association, today addressed a
communication to the various execu-
tive officers Of the Christmas seal
sale asking that they keep the hum
dreds of organizations in the state
supplied with association literature
that they may cooperate with the as
sociation during the year.
The communication is the result of
hundreds of requests received from
organizations at the state headquar-
ters in Fresno asking that they be
permitted to take part in the educa-
tional campaigns that are conducted
during the year.
This year marks a great increase
in the number of labor, fraternal and
social bodies in the state that are
taking an active part in the fight
against tuberculosis. The action
came through the sudden increase in
the number of tuberculosis cases re-
ported Throughout the state and the
increased number that are dependent
for aid on the organizations with
which they are affiliated. Influenza
with its weakening of the resistance
powers of the individual is believed
to have caused the marked jump in
the number of cases reported, &C
cordng to Mrs. Thompson.
Much of the success which is at
tending this years Christmas seal
sale is attributed to the co-operator
of various organizations and the
awakening to the menace of the
white plague in California. Statistics
show that in California alone in the
past two years over 1000 people
died, victims of tuberculosis.
Practically all of the tuberculosis
prevention work in California is car,
ried on with the funds derived from
the sale of Christmas seals and
| health bonds.

FIND SOLUTION
FOR LOGGED LAND
(By United Press)


PORTLAND, Ore, Dec, %. - The
solution of the logged-off land prob
lem, which is bothering the states of
the northwest, can be made to pay its
own expenses as well as yield a sub
stantial return if the plan advocated
by f. l.. Evans, Portland mining en-
gineer, is followed.
The better way, according to Evans,
is to salvage the stumpage by re-
claiming the valuable materials it
contains. He estimated that ten cubic
feet Of stumpage will yield 200 gal
Ions of turpentine, valued at $1.94
per gallon; 900 pounds of tar, valued
at $14 per barrel; one ton charcoal,
worth $22 ton, and numerous other
materials in lesser quantities, such as
creosote, wood alcohol and formalde-
hyde. He submitted these figures to
show that burning Of stumpage is lit
tie short Of criminal.
Evans contends that to reclaim
these materials it woulr be necessary
to erect plants for the chemical eX-
traction of the valuables, but that ex-
pense would be justified on a very
large scale by the possibilities of the
traffic.
"Since the timber owners continue
to raze the forests without doing any
thing to repalce them," Evans de-
clared, "and leave the marke' glutted

Yesterday was record day in the
criminal annals of Imperial county.
Twelve arrests were recorded in the
sheriff's office and three at the city
Jail in FL Centre. The arrests, it was
said, are not the result of any un-
usual effort on the part of the Off
cials, by the hiring of outside help as
is being done in other cities, but was
accomplished by the regular employees
of the sheriff's office and the city au-
thorities.
The police officers of Imperial
county and the towns of the valley
are doing all in their power to check
the crime wave that has swept across
the country during the past few
weeks.
The arrests are as follows:

sum Germany must pay for war
reparatiOns. The German rep
resentative gave the impression

Imperial Valley press., 1920-12-22

with a great acreage of comparative
ly useless land, it seems that the state
should take some steps to reclaim the
stumpage and put the land in use.
"Land from which the stumps have
been burned is useless for cultivation
as long as the turpentine and other
products of the stumps remain in the
ground. The blasting of stumps and
consequent chemical extraction of
their ingredients would leave the land
ready for cultivation,' he said.

CONSIDER THE ATTORNEY
 GENERAL.
(Juneau Empire)

One of the most important offices the people of Alaska will be called up on to fill by their votes at the election next November will be that of Attor- ney-General for the Territory. The Attorney General is not only the legal adviser of all the Territorial officers and attorney for the Territory in all suits of law, but he Is the advisor of the Territorial Legislature. He is charged with the duty of preparing bills for members of the Territorial Legislature. The position is not only one which requires good lawyer but it is one in which it is essential that the incumbent shall be strictly honest not only honest as to expending money and accounting for the appro- priation made for his office, but hon. est in the performance of his duty It would be very easy for designing end intriguing man in the office to do gross injustice to the Territory and to citizens. The man who is elected Attorney. General should be above uS- ing his office to punish persons or in- terests. He should be one who could be trusted not to insert joker in bill that he might be called upon to write in order to get even with an en- emy or punish political opponent. He should not be one who would take animosities, envies and spleen into his

office. He should be straightforward upstanding and mentally and morally honest man who would perform his tasks without regard to personal ol political feeling.
 The office of Attorney General now is being filled by that sort of an offic- ial. The record of Jerry C. Murphy in that office, his record as Assistant United States District Attorney at Anchorage, as a practicing lawyer in the Fourth and Third Divisions, as a citizen of Alaska and his country and as man is a guarantee that if elect ed this year the people of Alaska will be assured the high order of public service that they should have in this very important office. The people of Alaska should give, MT. Murphy an overwhelming majority at the polls next November.
