CHSIRSNAS STAMP

Proceeds Aid Tubercular
Patients Through the
State Bodies

The sale of the Christmas stamps
issued by the National Tuberculosis
association is now under way, the
quota for Florida sales having been
set at fifty thousand dollars. Every
district has been organized, and each
city has it's head to-look after the
sales and see that various dealers are
provided with this means of secur-
ing large sum of money for great
cause with but little. effort.
At the head of the sales in Palatka
and in charge of Putnam county is
Miss Mary MulhoHand, who is piac-
ing these stamps with various mer-
chants about the city and county. 1t
is her desire to see that Putnam
county shall not fall behind in the
great issue, which aids so much in the
amelioratiCn of the dread disease.
The death rate from tuberculosis in
the United States registration area
has been CUE from over 200 per 1OO,-
IOOO in 1850 to about 100 per 100000
in 1921. Since 1904, the year in
which an educational campaign tc
prevent and stamp out this disease
was started by the National Tubercu
, losis association, the death rate ha.
| been cut in half. Had the 1904 dealt
irate prevailed America would have
lost $4,000 more persons in 1921.
In 1915, prior ito organization, tn,
annual death rate from tuberculosi
lin Florida, according to the report
of the state board of health, was IS
lper 100000. In 1921 the death rat
had been reduced to 95 per 100000
When it is considered that there wer
no sanatoria during this period, to as
, sist in reducing this death toll,
must inevitably be concluded the pre-
gram of education and disease pre-
vention is paying great dividends.

| Library Has Gift
Two Choice Books
From Switzerland

Of the gifts received by the library
during the past month two have a
rather interesting history. These
little volumes, "The Love Saint" and
European Backgrounds" by Clare
Benedict, were sent to the library
from Switzerland, where the donors,
Miss Benedict and her mother, are
making their home. Mrs. Benedict is
the sister of Constance FenimOre
Woolson and grandniece Of James
Fenimore Cooper. Miss Woolson, it
will be remembered, wrote many stO-
ries about Florida, and her sister eX-
presses a great affection for this
state. Only a few weeks ago "Hor-
ace Chase" a novel by Miss Woolson,
was given to the library by a patron,
especial interest attaching to this
book because of the mention several
times of the name "Palatka." Miss
Benedict's stories, however, do not
reed connection with the works OF
famous relatives to make them pop
ular with those readers who like un,
usual short stories.

THE FIvE.CENT LOAF.

That popular old friend OF the
people," the five-ccnt loaf OF bread,
has once more made it's appearance
in New York City, and naturally Is
warmly welcomed. 1t IL hoped It's
visits will be extended over the en-
tire country.
Among high costs of living due TO
the war which showed reluctance TO
come down TO anything near the pre-
war basis have been the charges for
bread. The high rates during the war
period were natural, but the sullen
resistance to lower prices since the
end of the war, and especially since
the infiiction of hard times upon the
country. has been most agsravating

However, the return of the FIVE
cent loaf may be the beginning of a
substantial reform. The weight may
be light Mt first, but competition will
bring relief in this respect, The main
thing is to get a five-cent loaf, and
now this is possible. We may ex-
pect. therefore. before the New Year

PLIGHT OF FARMERS.

The one bad spot In the industrial
situation, so reports from Washing
ton show. is the failure OF agriculture
TO recover. Tho plight of the farmers
does not grow better. This is essen
TALLY true bill. although conditions
have eased bit since last year, as
shown by the reduction in loans of
country banks
1t Is fact that the purchasing
power of the farmer, representing
nearly half OF the purchasing power
Of the country, IL cut to pieces. and
the effect Is felt everywhere, II the
farmer cannot buy, the manufactures
cannot sell, and he cannot give men
work. 1t, is important TO recognize
that there Is nothing mysterious In
the situation and that it isn't neces-
sary to sit around hopelessly waiting
for something to turn up to better con-
ditions. There are certain definite
things the matter. and the sooner they
are corrected the better for everybody
The big thing is that prices OF what
the farmer has TO buy haven't fallen
anything like as much as the prices
OF what the farmer has TO sell. Atten-
ton has been called repeatedly to this
tact. But II must constantly be borne
IN mind II conditions are TO be improv-
ed. When prices get to a point where
tho farmer can exchange what he
raises for manufactured products on
the old basis. then he can resume buy
INC. factory output can increase and
more men be put TO work.-kansas

TREATY OF ST. GERMAN.

A dispatch from Washington states
that British delegates have intimated
unofflc,ally a desire 10 see the United
States accept the Treaty OF ST. Ger
main. of September 10. 1919, designed
TO restrict trade In munitions. and that
they believe II would prevent the mis-
use Of much naval war material to be
scrapped under the naval agreement.
The treaty OF St Germsin was sign
ed by under Secretary Polk. on be-
half OF the United States, and by 9TH
er allied countries as a subsidiary
peace settlement. II provided that the
parties forbid export OF arms and
munitions. except for the signatory
Governments. and particularly to cer-
tain clossd zones. Although the Eu-
ropean allies haye ratified 1t, the ac-
ton of our Senate on the Versailles
Treaty prompted President Wilson TO
withhold the 81. German Treaty.
The attitude OF the United States
on the munltion trade Is revealed in
the Senate resolution OF March IA
1912, which authorizes the President
20 embargo such shipments completely
with respect TO any American coun-
/ try in the throes Of domestic violence
4 IL makts no distinction between the
.nsurrectionists and the parent Gov
ernm nj; and this Is IN conformity with
our view CT the inherent right OF rev.
olution against an oppr ssive govern,
ment. We viii not intermsddle 10 aiC
the insurrectioIists, neither will w,
aid the parent state.
The Treaty OF st. Germain. however
contains the questionable implica tior
that the parent government alone 4
entitled TO aid, and tends in the direc
ton OF an alliance to maintain tn
signatory Governments in power. /
smacks of the purpose OF the Holy AL
lance to stereotype the state Of pos
session. and overlooks the fact tha
the world is living and growing or
ganism.
If the states Of the world will adop
the American principle. either In thei
municipal laws or by treaty--whicf
in effect, would prohibit all dealing 1

no longer become the workshops OF III
belligerents, and there would be a
end TO wars of the magnitude OF tn
