RISING sun SCHOOL NEWS

The Journalism Club OF the
High School has decided to
sponsor a school newspaper.
This paper will be written and
edited by the members of the
Journalism Club, and will ap-
pear once a month as a part of
the Midland Journal.
We expect to keep up our
little school news column,
however, in between issues, as
we find occasion for it.
We wish to thank the editor
of the Midland Journal for the
splendid cooperation GWEN in
regard to school publicity dur
ing the past eight years, and
hope that this new plan will be
of definite value to the school,
as we'll as to the Journal.
The first edition of our paper
will come out in the December
18th issue of the Midland Jour-
nal. Watch for this first issue.
The pupils of the Elemen-
tary School sent Thanksgiving
baskets to a number in our
community who have suffered
from this period of depression.
On Wednesday afternoon
Grades One to Seven, inclu-
elusive, held a Thanksgiving
assembly in the High School
auditorium. Each Grade was
responsible for a part of the
program.

The young people of this land
must be told of the days of the open
saloon, of how the liquor traffic de-
bauched government and made pau
pers of our people. The false halo
which men now attempt to place on
the brow of the good old days must
be dispelled in the light of full
understanding of conditions as they
were. 1t would be little short of
miraculous if some young people
did not drink, for they are being
taught to defy law. Yet Youths
Rollcall, sponsored by the w. C. T.
u, at last report, had something
over 700, 900 pledged to total absti-
nance and the goal is one million by

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

With the mailing of more than
200, 600 direct mail appeals to various
sections of the State the twenty-fifth
annual tuberculosis Christmas Seal
Sale of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association will get under way on
Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
Funds obtained from the annual
sale of seals in the counties each
year are used to help finance the
public health work, and in helping
to maintain the Miracle House" at
Claiborne, Maryland, for undernour-
ished children, and the statewide
free chest clinics.
William B. Matthews, Managing
Director of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association stated that plans
had been completed for the drive
today. A goal of $4,000, has been
set for the State of Mar yland.
Thlrty-flve million seals have been
received at the State Office in Balti-
more, and all of the work has been
finished for the mailing of the direct
mail appeal which will reach every
section of the State.
Mr.. Matthews stated that the first
Christmas Seal Sale in the United
States was promoted twenty-five
years ago, to raise money for a
tuberculosis hospital in Delaware.
In addition to helping to finance
the work at the miracle House"
and the statewide free chest clinics,
Christmas Seals also make possible:
a statewide health educational pro-
gram, nurcing service, industrial
work and medical research.
The Seal Sale Chairman for Cecil
county is Mrs. |. D. Davis.

BARRED FROM THE RACE
TRACK
Seven Ruled OF For Crooked
Work

For running a ringer" under the
name of Shem, at Havre de Grace on
Oct 8, the Maryland Racing Com
mission has barred seven men and
three horses from the race tracks OF
the country. The report of the COM
mission making public its action def
initely established that the heavily
backed "Shem" that outran the field
in a two-year-old event at the Havre
de Grace track was Aknahton, a
three-year-old chestnut colt.
The commission found that the
real Shem and Aknahton were
brought into Maryland in a van a
day before the running of the ringer
race. Shem was unloaded on the
farm of DR.. Tubbs and the van went
to the track with Aknahton. Sem
was entered in the race, but Aknah-
ton was saddled in the place of the
year-old gelding.
Approximately So, 400 was wired
to Havre de Grace track to be wager
ed on Shem, and it was reported that
betting was heavy on the victorious
ringer throughout the West. The
bogus Shem paid $13 for So as
winner.
All of the men involved in the
affair who were ruled from the
Maryland tracks were New Workers

FAMINE: MAY HI
 CHIVEGE..MILLION '.
 IN BIB PROVINCE

! CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 8 (Hl The high cost of living has be- come an acute. problem in the life lof 25,0OoO00 or more persons in the west half of Szecheun, China's largest province.
 The present poverty-stricken condition of the territory iS at- tributed to taxes, poor crops, ban ditry and the silver slump. There are so many taxes that the farm CTS have little left after paying them. Tn many sectinos of the sur rounding country peasants are confronted with possibilities of a famine.
 The rice crop in Szecheuen was less than 50 per cent of normal, although it was better than usual in most provinces of China To forestall actual starvation as long as possible, soup kitchens have been opened in many towns and they are kept more or less in constant use
 The began population has man. aged to treble since the arrival of cold weather and a man with a prosperous appearance has no bus mess on tbs streets unless he has enough copper coins tO pass out among the crying sometimes screaming mendicants who fol- low him.
 Foreign trade. like the crops and the taX-ridden farmers, has been hard hit. Pushes has fallen off heavily in hte past six months and this once prosperous Yangtse river port has almost become a de- serted city. .. ....|
 This particular phase of the de- pression is attributed more to high taxes than the low price of sil- ver. ##.#|.
 There are taxes for unloading cargo, taxes for moving goods from the docks to the merchants shelves, a dozen different kinds of military takes. an even greater number of ciyLtE taxes.

phans," the letter said. Tt has been explained that the amounts which will be asked, a result of such legislation in each of the States, is small that it is believed your State Legislature will not hesitate to pass such bill when the matter is planed At this time it is estimated that about one-sixth of the war orphans eighteen years of age or older. Unless prompt action is taken by your Legislature, many of these children will be deprived of the education which the Legion, through the work of it's Committee on the Education of War Orphans, is endeavoring to give them"
 The orphan scholarship acts already passed in ten States appropriate from $50 to $250 year for the use of each orphan. This money is used to pay board, rent, for matriculation fees books supplies and other school expenses. Through the efforts of the Legion, many schools and colleges throughout the country aiding the orphans by remtting fees and making other concessions. In addition the orphans receive aid from the Federal Government which amounts to $10 a month for one child and $6 month for each additional child in the same family
 Major General P. c. Harris U s. A., (Retired) is National Director of Education of War Orphans for the Legion The purpose of the Legion, accord ing to Harris is not that every orphan obtains a college education but to provide them with a course of instruction or study which will enable them to pursue a profitable vocation when they become of age and earn their own living.

(NeW YOrk IlmeSD
 What was pronounced a curse at the gate of Eden has now come to be looked upon a bless ing. Tn Mton's lines the doom is written:
 In the sweat of thy Face shalt thou eat
 Bread
 Till thou return unto the ground, for
 thou
 Out of the ground vast taken, know l thy Birth,
 For dust thou art, and shalt to dust return.
 Today the most welcome word that come to millions is a promise of employment-to have a share in the worlds work The song on which many of the older generation brought mp urged to work in the morning hours, to work mid springing flowers, to work even through the sunny noon, and then till the Hast beam fadeth, fadeth to shine more. But it a joyous song, and the only unhappy note in it was the one that suggested the oncoming of night, when man works no more" The most fervent prayer that most men make, especially those who have not much goods laid up against days of ease, comes from ancient times: May be taken in the midst of my work" I"
 So far from work being curse, Carlyle speaks of it "the grand of all the maladies and miseries that ever beset mankind" It is the best physician. So in seeking to find employment for those out of work the problem of misery is at tackled at it's root. Skill in labor is mans highest vocation, but it is through labor of sort whether by hand brain, whether of ones choice or by compulson, whether vocation avocation, that he finds his way to his better and best self Giving a man a job is the best form of helpfulness if he is still able to work. What has been done by the Emergency Committee Unemployment is the most beneficent form of helpfulness to the able bodied and able-mnded- to those whom strength and years permit" That day is best for any such which brings them their work-and he is phanthopst who finds labor for those in need of it's medicines
 It has been often said that there is no good obtainable without labor but it is better said that there is good that is to be put above the ability and the opportunity to labor.
