that we did not sell more Christmas
seals here. Had the number Of
Christmas seals sold been doubled We
might have had twice as many cases
of defective childhood as Miss Coun-
tryman found.
We probably need health nurse

serious objection. If a nurse were
employed for the entire county and
was as successful in finding diseases
and defects as Miss Countryman was,
we might not have enough we'll peo-

it to vote of the taxpayers whether
they prefer to go on as they have

point out the defects as has been done
in Moscow. We are perfectly willing
to be governed by the result of such

were discovered by the tailor at Fort

his clothes to mend. The tailor gave
them to the gardener, who planted
them, and the trees that grew from
them were the ancestors Of the
flourishing orchards which have since
made Oregon and Washington famous.
