Year go hand in hand out here
Health bond sales alone have
amounted to $500 in Ford county.
The county expects to report a final
sale of 250, 600 stamps-or $4,000 for

Uses Unique Method.
John NJ. Pile, manager of the Well
ington Daily News, is making one Of
the most unique and spectacular
Christmas seal campaigns in the state.
In a recent issue of the Daily News
a total OF 147 "Buy Christmas Seals
catch-hnes appeared between news
items in the paper.
But Pile hasn't stopped there. He
wrote Christmas seal playa little
drama built on the human element
behind the drive for a healthy new
play and 1t has been one of the big
wedges in the drive for funds in Sum-
ner county
Shows Dreary Home Scene.
The first act of Piles play opens on
sad, dreary home scene. Father
hasn't worked. Sorrow. Distress. Dis
ease has come into the home. It's
tuberculosis. The burden of the house,
hold falls heavily on the elder son.
Mother tries to help. There are the
worries and the quiet tears and big
heart aches. The younger children
don't understand, They only know
things are not as they used to be.
Father is at home every day. The lit
tie luxuries go. Then hardships come.
In the next act the family hears of
a health clinic over in the county seat.
Father goes. There is the usual I'M
certainty and doubt about results of
the trip. But he comes home with a
new hope in his eyes. The health
nurse comes. Father improves He is
won back to health and strength. The
curtain falls on a happy home with
the old Christmas cheer.
Pile put real heart action and life
into that play. And Sumner county
is putting heart action and cash into
its enthusiasm. for the Christmas seal
camDaign.

MANY BOND BUYERS
Big Financial Concerns Ask Date of
Sale of Additional Bonds.

Topeka's recent bond sale when
100000 worth of water bonds were
sold at a premium of $4,705 is attract
ing widespread interest among finan-
cial firms, Commissioner w. H. Was
son of the city finance and revenue
department said today. Inquiries
from many sources are coming to him
regarding the probable date of the
sale of the remainder of the bonds,
and complimenting the city on the
high premium secured for the bonds.
zone letter L have from big bond
dealer in Ohio says that the Topeka
bond proposition is the most attrac-
tive of a number the firm has consid-
cred. Topeka's bond interest rate of
5% per cent Is lower than that of
many other cities. Six per cent and
sometimes more is customary in other
places 1t is the reliability of Topeka's
bonds that attracts buyers, more than
the high rate of interest,"

But All Dealings Are To Be at

Washington, Dec. 21.-American
business men today were free to trade

This means, according to govern

Gold Ban Removed.
This last restriction by the govern
