State Holds OIUn
in Sale of Seals

Oklahoma City, Dec. 22.-Reports
received by the Oklahoma Public
Health association from 10 different
counties in Oklahoma indicate that
the state will raise as much this
year as last, by means of the Tuber-
culosis Christmas Seal sale.
In only one of the nine counti's
has less money been realized than
in 1919, and in most of the remain
ing counties a larger sum has been
collected.
In order for the Oklahoma Public
Health association, however. to carry
out county and state health programs
outlined for 1921, it will he neces-
sary for it to have much more
money than last year. Every town
in the state has therefore been
asked to patronize booths placed in
postoffice lobbies during the remain
der of the Christmas mailing season.
Christmas seals will be on sale in
these booths, and those who buy
them are asked to place them on
their Christmas packages. The seals
sell for one cent each. Fifty per
cent of the money thus received is
spent for health work in the county,
and 45 percent in the state. The re-
manning 8 percent is used nationally

MITCHELL ASKS
CONTROL BOARD
FOR PRIVILEGE
Wants Local High School to Contln-
ue In State Athletic Associa-
tion Until After Close of
Basketball Season

Lanson ID. Mitchell. principal of
the Chickasha high school, has petit
toned the Oklahoma High School
Athletic association to permit the
citation until after the close of the
basketball season.
In letter addressed ITO the state
board of control of the Oklahoma
High School Athletic association"
Mr.. Mitchell says:
"On behalf of the C!hickasha high
school | hereby petition you for the
following consideration: that you
grant permission to the Chickasha
high school to continue athletic ac-
tivity in the form of basketball with
the understanding that we will com
ply with the rules and regulations
governing players and officials in
the Oklahoma Hin School Athletic
association but that Chickasha high
school will not be a contender for
any state honors or distinction.
'@The location of Chickasha is such
that it furnishes to other surround
ing schools such games as would en-
courage athletic activity. Many
schools now members of the asso
citation are DESTROYS of playing bas-
ket ball with Chickasha high school.
We had two-year contracts with sew
eral schools and they are anxious
for us to fulfill our contract. If we
are not allowed to play. 1t is a hard
ship on these schools.
"The granting of this request
would probably be without precedent
in Oklahoma hut | understand that
a similar request has been granted
in Indiana"
The board of control of the asso-
citation have taken no action on the
request.

Islands are Raided.

Dublin, Dec. Military forces
raided the Aran islands in search
of Sim Feiners believed to be hid
ing there. In a series of clashes, two
fugitives were killed, three wounded
and seven captured.
The raid was planned on a. hug ,
scale The military, in small boats
put out from the mainland under
cover of the darkness and complete
ly surrounded the group of wild
rocky islands. which are scattered
about the entrance to Galway Bay,
before attempting to land.
The first boat load of soldiers to
land was greeted with fissilade Of
rifle shots. This served to warn the
alleged "terrorists" hiding In stone
huts and caves and soon the alarm
spread through the island
The islands were searched as sys-
tematically as possible but because
of their broken character, It was be-
lieved that many hiding places es
capped detection and it was under
stood a force may be maintained
there to conduct later searches.
