SUPPORT FOR
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

An enthusiastic pledge of support
from the County Seal Sale Chairmen
and cooperation from many of the
County Health Officers is believed to
insure successful Sale this year that
will reach the desired goal of twenty
thousand dollars in the counties of
Maryland, according to William r.
Matthews, Managing Director of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association.
1t is hoped that the above goal of
the County Seal Sale will be reached
in order that the gains now made in
the fight against tuberculosis may
be consolidated and new efforts
launched. ct is the desire of the
officials of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association to maintain all of the
clinics now established and to install
new ones where it is felt that they
are most needed. Moreover, it is de-
sirable to increase the facilities of
the Miracle House at Claiborne to
accommodate more children. AL
though the death rate in Maryland
was reduced last year il is necessary
to increase our weapons to maintain
our gains and to guard against pos
sible acceleration of tuberculosis
cases due to the six years of depres-
Jion,' said William B. Matthews,
Managing Director
The death rate in Maryland is now
1917 per 100000 population, a gain
Of 81 over the previous year. 1t is
still high, however, when compared
to the rates of other states. To
maintain the gains of the past years
and to continue the annual reduction
in death rates it is necessary to con-
tinue the fight with greater energy
and planning. Doctor Robert H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, said the following
concerning the tuberculosis Christ
mas Seal Sale; Thirty years ago one
death in every eight in Maryland was
iue to tuberculosis. Last year one
death out Of every sixteen was charg-
ed to that disease. We have made
grea. progress but we have a long
way to go before the fight will be
ended. The Christmas Seals make it
possible for every one of us to have
i share in the battle. At a penny
apiece even the children can help.
Let's do our utmost"

FARM GROUPS PREPARE TAX
PROGRAM

The joint tax committee of the
Maryland State Grange and the
Maryland Farm Bureau has been
meeting monthly to prepare its re-
port and recommendations to be pre-
sented at the annual meetings of the
two organizations, according to c. E.
Wise, Jr., Secretary of the COM
mittee.
The Committee is making a thor
ough study of the state tax problem
both as to normal revenue needs and
relief and old age pension require
ments. Several counties have al
ready included these items in their
tax levy with resulting increase in
real estate taxes. Farm leaders
view this upward trend in real es-
tate taxation with alarm" Mr.. Wise
said, land something must be done
to check this upward trend" The
administration of relief alone costs
about 1870 of the total spent. This
percentage varies from so 20 35%
in the counties as the overhead in the
counties is fairly constant SO in those
with large relief loads smaller
proportion goes for administration.
T. Roy Brookes, Master of the
State Grange stated, new revenue
if needed must be raised from
sources other than real estate tax
alton" ''The committee" he said.

SANCTIONS AGAINST ITALY

Benito MussoiiDi hurls an "eye
for an eye" defiance at the League
Of Nations as sanctions are clamped
down on Italy by fifty nations that
closed their frontiers to Italian goods
at midnight on Sunday, throwing the
strength of half hundred nations
behind the economic boycott.
The League powers participating
in the boycott, proclaimed at Geneva
in an effort to force an early end to
Italy'sN war on Ethiouia, have
pledged themselves:
ITO buy nothing whatsoever from
Italy. To send to Italy none of GER
tain key products essential to the
manufacture of arms and imple-
ments of war"
Fifty-two states applied financial
boycott beginning October 81; fifty
TWO placed an arms embargo on Italy
and lifted it from Ethiopia; forty
seven accepted the mutual aid pro-
ject by which countries hard hit by
applying the boycott will be helped
by those less affected.

DR.. H. A. Heise, of Milwaukee, re-
ports that he finds about so per cent
of auto accidents and rs per cent OF
people injured or killed are 'alcohol
accidents" Somewhere along the
line alcohol had got in its damnable
work. And this-bear in mind
has nothing whatever to do with the
control of the drink question, as
moral issue; it's just plain everyday
horse sense applied to a situation
which may have you or one OF your
family or friends next on the list.

Thoughts of the dangers which
threaten American neutrality, especl-
ally in the event of a European war,
still worry Americans. This is true
in spite of the fact that enthusiasm
for peace is still strong throughout
the entire country. At present more
than 800 organizations of various
types and sizes have joined the tight
to avoid war. But experience has
taught us that such enthusiasm alone
is not enough. In 1914 public sentl-
ment was as whole-heartedly in favor
of remaining neutral as it is now,
Still. by 1917 that sentiment had
changed and we were at war.

said America "by example and in
practice" must help bind the
wounds of others, against disorder
and aggression, encourage the les
sening of distress among people and
advance peaceful trade and friend

sonal for the traditionally formal

mated the last Thursday of the month

Twenty-eighth of November, 1885,

"In traversing period of nation
al stress, our country has been knit
together in a closer fellowship OF
mutual interest and common purpose.
We can we'll be grateful that more
and more of our people understand
and seek the greater good OF the
greater number. We can be grateful
that selfish purpose of personal gain,
at our neighbor's loss, less strongly
asserts itself. We can be grateful
that peace at home is strengthened
by growing willingness to common
counsel. We can be grateful that
our peace with other nations con-
sinues through recognition of our
own peaceful purpose.
"But in appreciation of the bless
ings that Divine Providence has be-
slowed upon us in America, we shall
not rejoice as the Pharisee rejoiced.
War and strife still live in the world.
Rather, must America by example
and in practice help to bind the
wounds of others, strive against dis
order and aggression, encourage the
essening of distress among peoples
and advance peaceful trade and
friendship.
"The future of many generations
of mankind will be greatly guided by
our acts in these present years. We
have a new trail.
LET us then on the day appointed
offer our devotions and our humble
thanks to Almighty God and pray
that the people of America will be
guided by him in helping their fellow
men.
I'm witness whereof, / have here

"BY THIS SIGN WE CONQUER"

This years Christmas tuberculosis
seal goes back to the 1908 for its
inspiration. 1t links today's use of
the tuberculosis seals with the first
application in this country of
similar method of raising funds dur
ing the time of the Civil War, for
relief work among the soldiers and
their families. This years seal car
ries a sketch of young girl of that
period-with redingote, hoopskirt,
waterfall of curls and all the other
accessories of that day-posting a
letter in an old-fashioned mail box.
Tiny as it is, all of the details of
the little sketch are historically cor
rect-even to the picture of the mail
box According to official records,
delivery of mail by government car
rier was inaugurated in 1863 and
mail boxes of that type for the re-
ception of letters were installed at
the same time. The purpose for
which the seal is to be used is indi-
Gated by the double barred cross
the insignia in all lands of the fight
against tuberculosis.
For twenty-eight years, the little
successors to the seals of three score
and ten years ago have been carry
ing message of hope and help for
sufferers from tuberculosis. The
seals will be placed ON sale, as usual,
throughout the State, by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association, on
Thanksgiving Day and they will re-
main on sale until the close of the
Christmas season.
Like the flaming sign in the
heavens, many centuries ago, the
double barred cross of the tubercu-
losis seals is a symbol of courage and
conquest, to all who are engaged in
any way in the fight against tubercu-
losis," DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health said
in reminding Marylanders of the
chance they have 10 help through
the purchase of the Christmas seals.
1.-The proceeds from the sale of the
seals will be used" he continued,
toward the support of tuberculosis
work in this State, some of it going
toward the maintenance of the chest
clinics that are held in the counties
under the joint auspices of the State
tuberculosis Association and the
State Department of Health. Some
will be used for the upkeep of the
Preventorium at Claiborne for chill
dren in need of care of shat sort and
some for educational activities.
Thirty years ago one death in
every eight in Maryland was due to
tuberculosis. Last year one death
Of every sixteen was charged to thai
disease. We have made great pro-
gress but we have long way to go
before the fight will be ended. The
Christmas seals make it possible for
every one of us to have share in
the battle. At penny apiece even
the children can help.
Lets do our utmost"

Purchase of Brewster bridge by

The bill, introduced by John r.

to appropriate $15O.0O0 from the
motor vehicle fund instead Of the
original $3.50, 900.
Passage of the measure by the
senate and approval by the COVER
nor will mark success for q long
fight waged to have the bridge tax
en- over by the state and toll
charges eliminated. The argument
had been put forth that orchardists
and farmers in the Bridgeport dis
trict had been forced to pay such
heavy charges to haul their products
over the bridge that some OF them
had been forced to abandon their
places.

TOWN LOTS TAKEN OFF MARKET
REPORT FROM SPOKANE TELLS
Unsold Lots May Not Be Pur-

Reservation Towns
Local Club Protests
Business Men Point Out That De-
mahd For Lots Will Increase
I. With Incorporation
The Commercial club met in reg

The Commercial club met in reg
ular session Monday night. The
most important matter taken up was
report received from Spokane
that the balance of the town site
lots which had not been sold, had
been withdrawn from sale by the
government. The order affects prop
erty at Nespelem, East Omak, Inche-
lilun and Keller.
These government town site lots
had been withdrawn evidently on
the same plan that has taken all
Indian lands off the market. This
makes a very serious situation here
as there is a constant market for
these lots which will increase with
the incorporation Of the town.
Send In Protest
The Commercial club is taking
the matter up with Washington, D..
c., at once and hopes to have the
lots again on sale in a short time.
The club also voted to ask the
nominees for the new council to act
as committee to select and recon-
mend man for peace officer for
this district. The sheriff's office
has promised to appoint a man at
once.

A very enthusiastic meeting was

ton of the town of Nespelem was
discussed by Attorney w. H. Patter-
son and F. S. Enert, both Of Ornak.
The matter of bonding the town
for installing water system was
explained, and it was found that
bonds sufficient for installing an
adequate system could be issued and
would be paid for out of the rev.
enue from the department. and
would not be a burden on property
holders.
Discuss Insurance Rates
The matter of fire insurance was
also brought up and it was shown
that the reduction in rates for in
surance would more than compens-
ate for any expense incurred In OPP

Adequate policing Of the town
which could be maintained after
Incorporating was also one of the
important features. Sentiment

FILA PROGRAM
TO BE STARTED
In RURAL AREAS
Housing Plan Will Apply To
County Homes As Well AS
City Residences
Agent Begins Work
Committee To Handle Rural Pro-
gram Now Being Formed
By Chapman

Organization of committee to
handle better housing campaign
in the rural sections of Okanogan
county has been started by Vernon
Chapman, county agricultural agent,
in line with the program authorized
by the Federal Housing administra-
ton.
Names of the committee members
are being withheld pending their
acceptance of the appointments,
Mr.. Chapman said.
Need for such program has been
shown by the results of a survey Of
rural housing conditions in this
state, he explains. Objects of the
campaign, as defined in letters to
the prospective committee members,
follow:
Tell Aims Of Plan
Cd Raise standard of living; (2)
put men to work; Cd to preserve
and improve neglected farm struc-
lures; 10 promote efficiency on
farms and in homes through i'm
provements made; 90 improve ag-
ricultural conditions which in turn
will help the agricultural industry.
It was revealed by the farm sur
vey recently completed that one
fourth of the farm families in the
state require more room than their
present homes provide; that one
half need more closet space; that
one-half carry water to the home
by hand and that at least half have
no kitchen sink or drain.
These findings indicate that
there Is broad field for. housing
repairs and improvements in the
rural areas of this county and state,
Chapman declares. To this end the
committee will devote its time.
The farm building improvement
program may include repairs, i'm
proyements, alterations, or replace
ments and new structures.
Among the improvements Sug-
gested are water supply, sewage dis
posal, light and power, fire proven
ton, painting, exterior and interior
redecorating, walks, fences, in
closures, and installation of built
i'm equipment in the home.
