Quite a number of our citizns from all parts of the county have expressed themselves to us, some against, but by far the greater number.in favor of the move. All of those who spoke to us favoring the election over the present method, said it was their earnest desire to do all they could to help in upbuilding the school system of our county and that' it was also their " earnest desire that there be no politics of any -kind mixed' with our school system; to lay aside all questions of party affilia tion and to vote for their candidate for County Superintendent upon his qualifications as a school executive regardless of his party affiliations. The originators of this move are both democrats and republicans, men who are interested in the betterment of the school system of Polk county; and their reason .for favoring this move is that -they believe it for the best interests of our schools to make this change. They have no fight to make upon any man or set of men, but are only trying to do wiiat they horf estly think will result in better schools of the entire county. Our school system has -reached a stage where it needs a superindent on the job twelve months in the year. We want the best man we can get for the position and think he should be paid enough salary to - justify him giving his entire time to the duties of the office, as it is impossible to do jus tice to our school children with any thing less. Polk county's greatest asset today is its children. Let us give all of them as good education as money can buy. If you are in favor of good schools and want to see old Polk stand at the head of the list, educationally, make your arrangements to attend the meeting to be held at . Columbus on the first Monday in January, 1920. It does not matter whether you favor election or not, be on hand and give your idea. Perhaps you may have a better plan. If so be there and tell .us about it. ; Sunday School 10:00 Preaching 2nd and 4th Sundays.

SALE OF CHRISTMAS SEALS OPENS DEC. 1 Army of Volunteer Salespeople Await Call to Their Posts In Nearly Every City and Town In the Country. $6,500,000 IS THE GOAL Fund Needed to Meet Expenses of the National Tuberculosis Association and Its Allied Societies Dur ing 1920 Educational and Preventive Campaign URGE RED CROSS SEAL DAY IN ALL SCHOOLS Surgeon General Blue Asks That Churches Also Join in Move ment to Further Sale The 1919 sale of Red Cross Christ mas Seals will begin on the first day of December. With the opening of business on that day an army of vol unteer salespeople will sound "Buy Red Cross Christmas Seals!" the call to arms In the war of-extermination against tuberculosis. The sale will extend through December 10th. The annual Red Cross. Christmas Seal sale provides the chief income of the National Tuberculosis Asso ciation and its one thousand affiliat ed associations which are in the very forefront of anti-tuberculosis organi zations. The 1920 programme of the allied organizations calls for greatly increased activities. To meet this extension of effort a combined bud get of more than $6,500,000 is re quired and with this goal In view the intensive sales appeals will be made. A recent health sufVey resulted in startling disclosures. Until the snr vey tuberculosis experts were, to i large degree, In the dark as to the real extent of the ravages of the dis ease In this country. All doubt on this point has been cleared up and the estimated total of active cases is placed above the 1,000,000 mark. To ; search out every case of tuberculosis fn the country is the ultimate aim of the National Tuberculosis Associa tion and its allies. Teams are being formed In every community. Business men are form ing sales organizations and similar bodies are being organized by former service men. INVEST IN HEALTH BONDS Dividends in the Form of a Reduced Tuberculosis Death Rate will be Paid Surgeon General Rupert Blue has issued an appeal to observe Christ mas Seal Day In the schools and in all places of worship in the United States, December 5, 6 and 7. The ap peal follows : "Over one hundred and fifty thou sand Americans die annually from tuberculosis. This is an appalling waste of life when we consider that tuberculosis is classed as a prevent able disease. Moreover, because this loss of life occurs almost entirely In the ranks of the young adult - popula tion, health authorities - the' world over have come to consider the "con trol of tuberculosis as . still the' most pressing health' problem confronting them. Every year the National Tu berculosis Association, by selling Red Cross Christmas seals, raises a consid erable sum of money to be used in a nation wide campaign to combat tu berculosis. This year a special ef fort is being made to interest school children" in this work and Decembei fifth, sixth and seventh have been designated as days on which the eeals are to be sold in the publiq schools, synagogues and churches. Because of the seriousness of th situation, I trust that the campaign this year will be particularly suc cessful. "RUPERT BLUE, Surgeon General, United States Public Health service". CHRISTMAS SEAL FUNDS The National Tuberculosis Associa- tlon and its . 1000 .affiliated organiza tions offer this yearrinv addition to the Red Cross Christmas Seals, Health : Bonds on which annual dividends in the form of fewer new cases of tuber j culosls and a reduction in the white j plage death rate will be paid. The bonds have been issued for the coh- vonience of those who cannot use the number of seals their contributions, will call for: ( Do not wait to be URGED to buy Red Cross Christ mas Seals. 4 Go to the local campaign headquarters and make your donation. Every seal sold is a blow at TUBERCULOSIS. I Within two weeks over a billion Red Cross Christmas Seals will be on sale In every nook and corner of the United States'. These seals are sold to finance the campaigns against tu berculosis in this country. Of even dollar received from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, 91.7c remain in the state where the seals are sold for the benefit of the organized anti tuberculosis campaign in that state. ; Out of the remaining 8.3, the ex penses of running the campaign ar first deducted, and whatever is left la then divided between the American Red Cross and the National Tuber culosis Association. The Red Cross Christmas Seal cam paign is not for the purpose of financ ing the work of the American Red Cross or its chapters. It is for the purpose of financing the National Tu berculosis Association and the various state tuberculosis associations. The Red Cross Christmas Seal, launched in 1908 by the American Red , Cross, has been issued in the name of the Red Cross since that date. In March 1919 the American Red Cross agreed to allow the National Tuberculosis Association to use its. name andv em blem on the usuab Christmas seal. This year the Red Cross has no other part in the Tuberculosis' Seal Cam paign. The Red Cross Seal is Tu berculosis Seal. Those who buy - it are supporting the tuberculosis work in their own communities! To support the programs of work outlined in the forty-eight states and insular possessions for 1920 in such a manner that results in the -savinf of thousands of lives may be realized, will demand the sale of at least 650, 000.000 Red Cross Seals at one cenl each. Tuberculosis can be suppress! The Red Cross Seal offers an oDDcr- Uunity for the widow's mite I or the rich 'man's thousands. Do your share - . v----.
