BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

Throughout the state, beginning
Thanksgiving and continuing until
Christmas, the goth annual Christmas
seal sale is being conducted. The
sale of seals makes possible the car
rying on of a continuous campaign in
Ohio to prevent tuberculosis and
other diseases and promote better
health education.
Health work done in this county in
the past, financed in whole or in part
by the proceeds of Christmas seal
sales include; Partial cost of running
the Kiddies' Health Camp, financing
of nursing staff to tubercular patients
in the community, and the weekly
dental clinic
tuberculosis caused 90 deaths il
Butler county in 1926, as against 81
in 1925, reports the state department
of health. Estimates point to min.
active cases for each death, hence
there are at present in Butler county
828 active cases.
The only way to keep down this
great death rate from the dreaded
disease, tuberculosis, is by persistent
effort and education concerning the
disease To do this requires money
To acquire the money is the purpose
of the Christmas seal sales. So buy
seals, and lots of them.

do it right here with your Hamilton
merchants whom you can count as

friends and neighbors count. No need
for buying out of the city when our
stores are packed with every needed
or desired article, and at prices that
compare favorably any old day with
those of outside cities.
And in doing your shopping be
considerate of others. Do your shop
ping in daytime and don't help fur

them to serve you at night and expect
smile to go with it. There is
limit to endurance. Shop now-do it

Quail Handicapped in
Fight for Existence

Lack of water is one important
factor in diminishing quail popula-
ton in the semi-arid parts of the
Southwest, according to Prof. Jo-
seph Grinnel, of the University of
California, authority on bird life.
In an article in Science, Professor
Grinnell sums up evidence that
other factors in quail life, such as
food, brush cover and activities of
enemies, including hunters, have
either remained as they were before
the white man came, or have even
changed in favor of the quail. Yet
these birds seem to be losing in the
struggle for existence. One thing,
however, man has done that works
heavily against the quail. He has
monopolized the water, especially
IN the arroyas, where the streams
diminish to trickle or dry up en-
tirely as the season advances, caging
it in pipe lines or tunnels, where
wild animals cannot reach it. Young
quail broods cannot be reared sue
cessfully more than few hundred
yards from a water supply, and
mans efficiency in supplying his
own needs is blamed by Professor
Grinnell for the threatened extinc-
ton of this game species.

IN EVERY HAMILTON HOME
CHRISTMAS

Again the bright cheer of Christ
mas is to be brought into every home
in Hamilton. This announcement
should bring a world of satisfaction
to every Hamilton citizen. There are
very few cities, if any, in the United
States where such a movement is car
ried out as it is right here in our own
city. For the past seven years this
noble movement has been carried out
through the efforts of the officials and
under the auspices of the Hamilton
Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber
of Commerce is to be commended and
congratulated upon its special thought
for the unfortunate at this time of
the year, many of whom would have a
dreary and sad Christmas if it were
not for the Christmas In Every
Hamilton Home" movement inaugur-
ated by the chamber and supported
by the noble band of men and women
who work tirelessly for days and
nights toward it's success.
But it isn't fair that it should be
left to just few that Christmas cheer
be brought into all homes. 1t is the
duty, and should be regarded as a
privilege, on the part of every citizen
to help and contribute to this most
worthy cause. Those who can should
offer their personal services. Others
should make contributions in the way
of money, toys, clothing and food
sutffs. Make a contribution, send il
in at once, and see how much better
you will feel for having helped to
gladden. someone less fortunate than
you. See if you don't enjoy your
Christmas just so much more for hav-
ing done so.
And, credit where credit is due. It
was John E. Northway, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, who, seven
years ago, first broached the subject
of Christmas In Every Home in
Hamilton" He mentioned it to few
others, and like a successful vaccina-
tion "it took" Ever since, the move
ment has been carried out, growing
in size and interest each year until
now the people of Hamilton wouldn't
think of passing it up. May the hap
piness the movement brings rebound
many fold in the Northway home this
Christmas is the thought of every
well wisher in Hamilton.

and shiftless will never become sue
cessful.
No one was ever defeated who did
not admit defeat and give up trying
to make good. Instead of boldly and
intelligently removing whatever OBJ
suructs the path of victory, the de-
feated one makes no effort to avert
disaster and turn defeat into victory.
Whether we are victors or failures
depends on ourselves Aim high and
cherish lofty ideals and then use your
inborn power and ability to make
your ideals real, your dreams true.
Sometimes a motto or slogan will
help to concentrate on what we wish
to accomplish. The union label
trades department uses this method
and urges all to bear this one in mind
when spending union-earned money;
"Patronize the Union Label, Shor
Card and Working Button"
All trades unionists are requested
to adopt this slogan if they are truly
desirous of helping the union shop
If this slogan is put into practice
the non-union shops will be deprived
of huge profits. The union shops viii
thrive and prosper. Victory will be
the reward of faithfulness to our slo.

other nations would do likewise. Yes,
that actually was the offer. And some
took it seriously!
But the joker is that it is funda-
mental of soviet creed to deceive other
nations. 1t is fundamental of So
Wet philosophy and practice to make
treaties for the deliberate purpose of
binding others but not binding the
soviets. No soviet promise or treaty
is worth anything to anyone if the
soviets find it worthwhile to break the
pledge. 1t is a part of soviet STRAIT
egy to make treaties and then to
break them 1t is fair and solemn
obligation for communists to deceive
others, to break faith with others, to
trick and trap others.
This is so foreign to the code to
which other people are accustomed
that it seems too preposterous to be-
lieve. That is why the soviets CON-
tinue to ''get away with it."
That is why those who haw-haw the
soviet Geneva proposal are right
about the matter. Let anybody who
doubts this consult with the Interna-

1000 sTUDEBAKERs
Transatlantie Telephone Order Brings
 Sl,5O0, 900 Business

The largest export order for motor cars ever placed by telephone was con- summated last week by the Studebaker Corporation of America by means of the new transatlantic radio telephone service to London when l.. J. Ollier, managing director of Studebaker (Great Britain) Limited, sat at his desk in London and asked Paul c.. Hoffman. vice president of The Stude- baker Corporation of America, who was seated at his own desk in South Bend. for delivery of ,000 Erskine Six ears.
 As the Erskine Six. Studebaker's new l-3 litre car sells in England for 295 pounds sterling, the total amount of the order represents nearly s 300 900 worth of business-said to be not only the largest automobile or der placed by means of the new service but one of the largest single business transactions made thus far via the wireless telephone.
 The order for ,000 Erskine Sizes represented only the April quota of these cars for Great Britain. where the Erskine has met with remarkable success following its initial showing at the famous Olympia show in Oe- tober.
 We could deliver this entire quota of Erskine Sizes immediately of we had them" Mir Ollier told Mir. Half man during their 5000 mile conversa- ton Business is opening up here wonderfully for the new car ''

like that which made the ancient Lat in command respect throughout the world with the simple statement, I am a citizen of Rome
 Cares For War Veterans Families
 Nov let me state why the Eagles feel this special affinity for the ex- service men. In 1917, when war was declared, we had only about 325 ,000 members. Before the draft went into effect, 17,000 of our Eagle brothers volunteered. When the last shot went whining over No Mans Land, 1000 Eagles wore the unifOrm-out of a total membership of 25,000.
 Those 47,000 boys in the fighting forces of the nation were not rich mems sons, but for the most part. boys from middle class homes where aging fathers and mothers and often young wives had to fear not only their loss in battle. but the loss of their support in future years. So say to you that these 47.000 who were given to their country by this order were given at greater sacrifice than those from the homes that felt no fear of the future.
 The Patriotic Fund
 Leaders in this fraternity sensed this situation, and the first act of the Grand Aerie officers in the early part of April, 1917, was to bring these homes under the protection of the fra ternity for the duration of the war, by absolving the members in service from paying their dues. In August, 1917. the Grand Aerie went a great step further. We created the Patriot ic Fund. We raised this fund by per capita tax of ten cents q month, to be paid by the aeries from dues. This contribution was made regularly for three years. Upwards of one and a half million dollars was accumulated. Out of 1t we have paid to the nearest dependent relative of each boy killed in battle or dying of disease in can comments or subsequently as the re- suit of wounds or disease incurred in service, the sum of Sl. 900. We were the first Co insure the men in service, even before the government adopted this plan, and. if l understand the feeling of the Grand Aerie in this mat ter. we shall be the last to quit the field.
 Last year we paid twenty five claims to the soldiers gratuity and we shall continue to perform this duty so long as there is on our rolls veteran who was an Eagle when he entered the service and who has remained an Eagle to the end.
 "Thus we keep faith with those who fought Thus we demonstrate the genuineness of our patriotism.
