CHRISTMAS SEAL ~,
TALK BY RADIO
Novel Plan of Spreading Informa-
nation Adopted by the Mime
sofa Public Health Association

The Christmas Seal Sale in Min
nesota was opened by radio. E. J.
Henryson, Editor of the Minnesota
Health Journal, broadcasted the
first radio Seal Talk from the Min
.neapolis Station w L A G, "The
Call of the North" Monday evening,
November 27.
Had the death rate from tuber-
culosis ten years ago (1911) pre-
vailed in 1921, 972 now living would
have gone to their graves during the
past year, according to Mr.. Henryson.
Zone of the most important ele-
ments in the fight against tubercu-
losis and other diseases" he stated,
'is the education of the individual
to the dangers of disease, and the
necessity for early discovery and
treatment. - ~. -. =.
More, probably, than. any one
single agency, the Christmas Seal is
responsible for the tremendous reduc-
tion in the tuberculosis death, rate"
continued Mr.. Henryson. Every
year from, Thanksgiving to-. Christ
mas, the Christmas Seals, small
stamps which are used to put. the
final touch on holiday mail and pack
ages, are sold throughout the length
and breadth of the nation. They are
sold and used in December, but they
carry the message of health and hope
throughout the year. ~.. -. ..n
"In Minnesota they give to par
ents, free clinics for the examination
of their children in order to check
disease before disease gets hold on
the child; tuberculosis clinics are
conducted for the adult; to the chill
dren direct they furnish the Health
Crusade, a Crusade for a cleaner and
more healthful living through the
teaching of health habits; they fur
nish vast quantity of free literature
on a large variety of health subjects
to the people of the state; they give
motion pictures, lectures and demon
strations on health to people in the
state, as we'll as in the crowded me-
tropo1is; they place exhibits before
the public, and engage in such educa-
tional health work as most effectively
impresses upon the public the facts
and information of public health"

Buy Christmas Seals-Fight
tuberculosis

It is my duty as your Mayor to
make an appeal to all of the people OF
Morris to extend their financial as
sistance in the purchase of Christmas
seals to help fight against tuberculo-
sis and other diseases, that have
gained such stronghold upon so
many people in this country.
We know the people here have been
generously good in the past-and the
efforts have been rewarded in cutting
down the number of deaths from 119
in 1911 to IT people in the year
1921; this is out of every one hun
dred thousand people in Minnesota,
or a reduction and saving of forty
two lives and the showing for 1920
and 1921 is further gratifying as the
report shows real saving of 276
lives in the year of 1921 as COM
pared with the year of 1920 and we

sa About forty friends and neighbors
surprised Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Miller
Friday night at their home in Nor

completion of 25 years of happy mar
ried life and the guests proceeded to
make merry over the anniversary.
About midnight refreshments were
served and the party afterwards
broke up.
Rev. B. H. J. Habel spoke for the
group and presented Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller with a fine silver sandwich
tray. Rev. Ivar Sandberg of Bar

sistance Mr.. Miller had been to him
and paid tribute to him as good
friend.
Mrs. Bert Betters played the we'd

RED CROSS PREPARED
FOR DISASTER RELIEF
Four in Neighboring States The Past
Year Might Be Right At
Home Next

One of the activities of the Red
Cross and the one for which the Red
Cross is at all time prepared, is Dis
aster Relief. One half of every 81
membership to the Red Cross is sent
to the National organization for na-
tional and international disaster re-
lief. -
Four disasters in the middle west
in Montana, Wisconsin, South Dako-
ia and Illinois, have called for Red
Cross relief during the past year.
In foreign fields the Red Cross has
assumed the responsibility of giving
aid to the Grecian refugees fleeing
from the Turkish terror in Smyrna
and in Thrace. 1t is said today that
there are a million and half Of these
refugees who are dependent for life
itself upon the charity Of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Following the earthquake In Chile
and the offer of help from President
Harding to the President OF Chile,
the American. Red Cross has cabled
$4,000 fer immediate relief OF the
earthquake victims. Reports coming
in every day from the Mediterranean
area in Greece where thousands were
driven out by the Turkish atrocities
and aho from Chilean territory
where we entered with relief empha-
size the general disaster work of the
Red Cross. NJ
1t is estimated by Walter David
son, manager of the Central Division
at Chicago that the American Red
Cross is called upon once a week to
take care of disasters and these. two
above facts illustrate the most recent
international undertaking of this
kind. Next week a disaster might
occur in Iowa, Wisconsin, or some
where else. =. o..
To perpetuate community insur-
ance against calamity is one of the
purposes Of the Annual Roll Call now
in progress and millions Of the Amer
lean people are demonstrating their
serious interest by renewing their
memberships. Let us therefore not
fail to renew our memberships with
the organization that is SO well pre-
pared to meet disasters, both nation
al and international. a.
The returns received from the
chapters in Minnesota thus far are
gratifying and indications are that
they will be from fifty to one hun
dred per cent better than last year;
and we feel certain that this state
will have contributed its share to-
ward the $1O,00O,000 budget which
is required to meet the needs of the
National organization during the
coming year; yet we urge every ef-
fort on the part Of all chapters and
branches to secure one hundred per
cent membership for Minnesota.

cock, where R. G.. Cushing has had
charge, success has also attended the
Roll Call. No reports have yet been

SEN. CLIFF TO SEEK
AID FOR FARMERS
Will Garry Farmer Appeal TO Farm
Bloc at National
Capitol

Ortonville Journal-Realizing that
something must be done, If possible,
in the way Of aiding agriculture, and
bringing about direct benefit for
the farmers of the Northwest, there
has been held during the past week
over various parts of this section,
meetings of, different organizations
to Investigate the possibilities Of
such a course. Big Stone and Tra-
verse County bankers. awake to the
imperative need of measures which
will better these conditions, held a
meeting in Graceyille Wednesday ey-
ening of this week.
Liberal discussion of the subject
was had and the opinion was unan-
imous regarding the one point:
That conditions, perhaps the worst
they have been in years, have been
brought about, not thru the condi-
tion of the soil, the lack of the
farmer to- give proper attention to
his crops, but almost entirely thru
market conditions that offer little
or nothing for the products of the
farmer, especially small grain. This
opinion is unanimous over the great
er part of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Minnesota, the choice
Of the nations hard wheat raising
district.
Any attempt to secure relief must
be made thru united effort. Con-
sequent1y a meeting is being held In
the cities this week of delegates Sc
lected from practically every rural
community in the states mentioned
above and following the decision Of
the bankers association while in ses-
sion at Graceville Wednesday, Sena-
tor F. L. Cliff was unanimously
chosen as delegate to attend this
meeting. Funds will be provided by
the association to defray the expenses
of Senator Cliffs trip to the cities as
well as to provide for a trip to Wash
ington, D. c., where he will appear
before the committee of the United
States Senate investigating agTtcul-
tural conditions This committee Is
scheduled to meet on or about De-
cember 14th. Senator Cliff departed

present: First National and Citizens

After the heat of the fray;
After the din Of the battle,

You will note from this analysis
that the water in the Pomme de
Terre river is much better for our use
than the city water and we are
seriously considering the matter of
discontinuing the use Of city water
and putting in pipe line and pump
ing our own water from the Pomme
de Terre river. The water we get
from the city at present time is not
only costing us over 5000 permonth
but we are getting water that is Of
much poorer grade than. the water in

MR.. OMPERS IS DIS.

/ A FRIEND of Samuel Gompers once
said Of him: "He throws more mon
key wrenches into good machinery
than any other man living" Some
one else might have said very truly
that Mr.. Gompers always has the
courage of his convictions. In any
event his friends and enemies will a.
gree that he is habitually displeased
with the way the world is being run
Quite frequently he spoke in condem-
nation Of government legislative bod
les for failing to start the wheels o.
industry on constructive projects" arc
he denounced the Administration for
it's amazing kind of muddling witt
tax and tariff questions" In almos
the same breath he scored the recen
farm conference held at the sugges
ton of the President as "controller
absolutely" by a group of "approxt
mately sixty railroad presidents, trus
magnates, bankers and anti-tra de I'm
ion employers" To which he adds
the opinion that the Kansas industria
court is "vicious principle of slave
labor" Aside from a few simila
complaints about the "hardships" i'm
posed on the American people by tax
ing their wine and beer away from
them, Mr.. Gompers has offered NJ
further criticisms about the continued
use of water for laundry and bathino
purposes. But D." We'll fix EN-" the

respect the old labor leader is no ev-
ception because he serves notice thai

ment help you in business?
The truth is business in our coun'
try is almost at the point of being
governed to death.
A few more Trade Commissions
Commerce commissions, shipping
boards, wage boards and what little
business is left would vanish.
There are now estimated by Ford's
Weekly to be fifteen million persons
making their living off the government
in one form or another.
A little broom-handle factory In
western state was visited by seven
teen state and federal inspectors In
side of three months.
All rode in motor cars paid for by
the government. and all burned gas
and had all their expenses paid by
the government.
