Who is it that can't afford penny to

battle against tuberculosis. We don't
believe there is person in Newark, who
will for this small amount of money,
fail to help some person not so fortu-
nate in their battle as those who can be
about every day at their work.
Every year at this holiday season,
the Christmas Seal appears and although
things, financially, are a lot different
this wear than for the past few years,
there is no reason that every person IN
Newark cannot buy at least five OF these
stamps With those who have not seen
the fight that the Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis Society is waging against the
"Grim Reaper" it is impossible to
understand what this fight means and
of the great expense the society is under.
It is the sale of these stamps every year
that helps the association over its tinan-
cal rough spots and never has Newark
failed to do her bit when a real urgent
call for help was heard and she is not
going to fail this time.
Miss Jane Maxwell, is in charge of
the local stamp sale and is hustling every
minute of the day to get her district
charmen together ready to plunge into

the corner of the depot platform on
Dakota avenue by man who cover
ed him with 45-automatic and or
dered him to throw up his hands.
Only a few cents in change reward
ed the 'stick-up" for his efforts. An
alarm was turned in, and Sheriff

separately combing the railroad
yards for the man.

Confidence Helps
People In Texas

Ranger. Tex, Dec. 20.--Confi-
dence and use OF script is said BY
residents of Ranger to have prevent
ed serious financial difficulties few
months ago, when one OF the larger
banks closed its doors. The issuance
and use of the script as in the case
here is said to be unusual.
When the bank announced II was
unable to continue payments the
business men met with bank Off
cials, the state banking officers and
others interested. An agreement TO
to appoint trustee of the accounts
in the bank was made. Special script
was printed SO as OF hard to counter
fit, and depositors in need OF ready
cash were permitted to assign tneir
accounts and to issue the script up
to rs per cent of their deposits. Botn
depositor and trustee signed the
script. 1t was accepted by the busi-
ness men as cash.
The plan worked smoothly. A to-
tai of about $4,000 in the script
was issued, and practically all OF II
has been redeemed. That outstand-
ing now has not been presented, and
it is thought some probably never
will be, as small amount has been
lost and some is being kept as souv-
enirs. The money to redeem the
script is to be kept ready for -four
years. Confidence that all depositors
would eventually be paid in full
with the protection Of the state bank
ing laws made it possible to pu
across the script plan. Subsequen
developments are said by business
men here to have proved the advis
ibility Of the action taken.

S c h OOls To
Get $1,734,51O

Pierre, Dec. 20.-The interest and
income apportionment from school
and public lands for this year will
amount to $1,734.510, according to
the announcement made by Mort
Adams, deputy commissioner in the
department of school and public
lands. This will average, according
to Mr.. Adams, $8.95 for each of the
$193,800 persons in the state under
school age.
The figure Is slightly less than
last year, when the total amounted
to $1,799,490, Mr.. Adams, says. due
chiefly to the inability of the depart
ment to collect large part of the
outstanding interest during the pres
ent critical financial times. Had this
outstanding interest been collected,
the average per pupil would have
reached approximately $16, he said
Apportionment vouchers are being
mailed out from Pierre, Minnehaha
county will receive the largest vouch-
er from this fund, amounting tc
$101,367. Brown county is second
with a voucher for $72.486. Coding-
ton will receive $49.287; Dawson

KEYNOTE SPEECH
MISS ALICE LORRAINE DAILY
URGES HOUSECLEANING AT
STATE CAPITOL.

Mitchell, Dec. 20.-Miss Alice Lor-
raine DAILY, nonpartisan league can
didate for governor, delivered the
keynote speech of her campaign here
Thursday night at a public reception
arranged in her honor by the league.
Conducting the affairs of state is
good deal like keeping house, /"
Miss DAILY told her auditors, ''and a
well kept house is not overly stock
ed with furniture. Our state house
at Pierre fails to indicate good
housekeeping 1t is overstocked with
a supply of human furniture, which
must be disposed Of 1t must be
cleaned out to cut down taxation.
This house cleaning should be done
by decreasing and combining the use
less and overlapping departments
at Pierre
Miss Daily attacked the state rural
credits board for not loaning to the
farmers every dollar it had during
the times of depression. The board,
she asserted, was established for the
express purpose of aiding the farm
ers financially, and WIN it ceased to
function during the period of de-
preston with money still in its
hands it was failing in its duty, she
declared.
The speaker declared that the
state agricultural college was bark
ing UP the wrong tree" They un-
dertake to show u.s." she said,
how they have saved in the last
year a million or more dollars for
the farmer. Don't believe it. They
have failed in their greatest oppor-
tunity. They should have been spend

FOURTH STEP IN
PRIMARY DEC. z
COUNTY PROPOSALMEN WILL
SELECT CANDIDATES AND
PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Pierre, Dec. 20.-The Fourth ac-
tion necessary in following out the
workings of the Richards primary
law will be held in each county on
December 27, when the county pro-
posalmen elected from each precinct
will gather to "select the paramount
issue" of their particular party and
select county and legislative officers
to put before the people at the pri-
mary election in the spring.
The three proceeding meetings
necessary in complying with this
law took place when the precinct
elections were held on the first Tues
day in November to select PROPOSAL
men to the county proposal meet
ings. Then these elected proposal
men meet in the county meeting and
selected three state proposalmen for
the state proposal meeting which
was held on the first Tuesday of De-
cember and which constituted the
third step in this cumbersome sys-
tenn.
The law provides that the county
proposalmen shall meet at IL
O'Clock a. M, of the fourth Tuesday
in December following, at which time
they shall review the independent
and representative proposals within
the party, shall elect and endorse
paramount state issue from such
party state proposals" 1t also stat
that county, legislative and district
candidates shall be selected at this
session.

ADS HELP A
MANS CREDIT
PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART In
sECURINdA LOAN.

Chicago, Dec. 20-Advertising is
one of the fundamentals of credit,
f. Guy Davis, western manager of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, told convention of sal
esmen here.
John Fletcher, the Chicago bank
er, cannot understand why it is that
the impression has got around that
the banker is opposed to advertis-
ing" Mr.. Davis said Indeed, he in
sists on the direct contrary that ad-
vertising really has vital relation
to credit.
'Mr. Fletcher, in recent inter
view with me, said: Bankers have
always considered well planned ad-
yertising as an asset But it is only
compa ratively lately that they have
come to regard 1t IS one of the de-
termining factors In the extension of
credit The force that produces sell
ing reputation Is advertising. Adver-
tising therefore ia really one of the
fundamentals of crdeit. The old idea
Of requiring business man to have
several dollars for every one that he
borrows is no longer the exclusive
consideration. He may have the dol
lars and still not get the loan even
in normal times. The man himself,
his ability, the way he talks, his un-
derstanding of his business, his en-
thusiasm, yes, and even his belief in
advertising, all enter into the calcu-
lation more thany many people be-
lieve.
''In further discussing advertising
Mr.. Fletcher said, there is marked
tendency toward the concentration OF
advertising and selling effort on par
ticular territories where analysis
has shown the most favorable mar
kets to lie. In analyzing this idea he
said: There is a logic back of this
course, but in the general prosperity
of past years when selling conditions
were easy, careful study of mar
kets was not always made. In these
days, however, advertising must be
welded more closely to the efforts
of the personal salesman than ever
before. In many cases today the
choice of advertising media is deter
mined by this consideration alone
might mention the daily newspa-
pers by way of illustration. If an Inn
portant news message relating tc
price or policy changes is to be got
ten over quickly to large field, not
even the mails can match the news
papers for speed and thoroughness.
"Mr. Fletcher also brings up an
other interesting point. He says;
"The drop in commodity prices Ii
bringing back into the buying field
the thoughtful, reading, discriminat
ing people of fixed income who have
always been the backbone OF the
market for quality goods at fair pri
ces. Advertising has always played
its important part in the cultivation
Of this markets and it will play an in
creasingly important part in the fu
ture for reasons which are obvious
to the serious student of business

Year 1926 Will Be
Worst In History

London, Dec. 20.-The year 1926
is destined to shake the world to its
foundation both physically and po-
litically. 1t is to be succession OF
plaques, famine, floods. shipwrecks,
rioting and revolution. So says the
British Journal of Astrology which
has drawn the horoscope for that
year when the planets Mars and Mer-
curry will be in conjunction. Six
years later the great Armageddon is
to take place; it will be a final con-
flict between Mohammedism allied
with bolshevism against the united
Anglo-Saxon world. 1t will end in a
universal peace" in 1882 "but there
will be so few of us left and we
shall be so tired that peace should
happen anyhow" the horoscope
says.
