County Division

County division has bobbed NJ

are current that some sort OF a meas.
urc will most certainly be introduced
at this legislative session. And be-
cause Governor Moore is quite em-
phatically on record as opposed 20
any clear cut division plan, it is now
proposed that Owyhee county shall
be brought into the mess.
Owyhee county has long rather en-
joyed a biennial county seat fight. Sill
yer City, whose sole surviving glory
is her name as the one time metropolis
OF Idaho and a rather vague pormise
Of other glory to come, is inaccessible
Geographically it is practically the
center Of an expansive, thinly popu-
lated county.
Few citizens OF the county want Sill
yer City for a county capital, But
they find geographical and sundry
other objections to the claims OF other
places.
The new plan contemplates solving
the county seat problem by giving
Nampa that distinction. 1t is not yet
clear Just what is proposed to be made
from the remainder OF Owyhec coun-
~. Nampa is impossible for a resi-
dent OF the Bruneau district And
Duck Valley, on the Nevada border. is
almost a million miles away so far as
Nampa accessibility is concerned. Gem

part Of Canyon county.
For the first time in the history OF
Nampa's many attempts 10 land a
county seat for itself. there is a vein
OF sympathy, OF approval in Caldwell.
Blu, it is founded on the shallow po-
litical foundation that Nampa. poliii-
cally, is on, OF tune with the remain
der OF the county.
With American Falls almost as
surcd and the quite definite promise
that half a million Of Owyhee lands
will be soon reclaimed. it seems that
the parceliing ont Of Owyhee may
well rest a few more years. Some day
FAR distant, the county may war

pital, stimulated the first sale OF
Christmas Seals in this country six
teen years ago. Miss Emily P. Bis
sci of Wilmington, Delaware, sold
seals and raised $1,000 to pay on a
tuberculosis hospital in her county.
The following year the national Red
Cross took up the sale, and the
Christmas seal was issued under
their auspices and with their inn
print until 1919, and the funds were
us ed by the National Tuberculosis
association for their use. Since
1919 the Christmas seal has borne
the imprint of the tuberculosis as
sociation, the double barred cross,
which is the specific symbol of the
fight against tuberculosis. Three
hundred thousand seals were sold
in 1907 over three hundred eigh-
ty-four million seals were sold IN
1922
The design of the seal is different
each year, and each seal is imprin
ted with the year. The 1928 seal
was designed by Rudolph Rusicka.
Bohemian by birth, and an artist
of international reputation. The ar
lists task is no easy one, as he
must draw design on the actual
area of the seal, and then the pro-
per colors must be experimental up
on and the inks to be used must be
selected. The design must not only
be an attractive one, but must COM
bine the Christmas spirit with the
thought of the work carried out hy
the anti-tuberculosis movement.
Mr. Rusicka has pictured little
girl sitting before the fireplace and
seeing a vision of Santa Claus in
the flames. The hearth is the
shrine round which the home life
centers, so we have here the thought
of the protection of the home and
the child from the ravages of the
dr cad white plague" by the activi-
ties of the tuberculosis association.
Above the fireplace appears, on
each side, the double barred cross
with it's message of health for all,
and between the crosses is the
merry Christmas 1928,
