BUY RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS SEALS
The County Chairman of our
county has sent to our town
and community $200.00 worth
of Christmas seals to be sold,
the proceeds of which, with
the exception of a small per
cent, will be used to fight tu
berculosis within the bounds
of our own state.
When we pause to think
that 3,000 Arkansas people
die each year of this awful
thing and 25,000 in the state
are sick with it now, it be
hooves us to do something.
We would like to ask the
public to buy only Red Cross
seals this year and thereby
help to stamp out this awful
menace to our state and na
tion. These seals will be
brought to your door, will be
placed, on sale at the drug
stores and other places down
own, and can also be procur
ed from Mrs. C. T. Willis at
he High School, or from me
my home.

To the People of the State of Arkansas:
At this Christmas tide, a season of “Peace on earth and
good will to men,” when Christmas cheer is in all the homes
of a victorious, prosperous and happy people, the call of
humanity for the suffering people across the seas, especially
those of the Near-East, the cry of humanity is one that will
not down. One hundred fifty thousand Christian orphans
are still homeless and are undergoing untold tortures.
There are yet in the harems of the Turks, Kurds and
Arabs approximately 100,000 Armenian, Syrian and Greek
women whose release can be effected as soon as the Chris
tian peoples of the earth provide adequate funds. The ap
peal of the pitiable Armenian, persecuted through the cen
turies by virtue of his Christian faith, comes stronger to us
than ever before. Hundreds of their towns and villages
have been totally or partially destroyed and must be rebuilt;
thousands of their farms have been devastated and their
occupants driven from their homes—these must be re
claimed ; stock of all kinds have become practically extinct—
these must be re-established.
The American Committee for Relief of the Near-East
ern people is the authorized organization to afford relief to
these worthy Christian peoples. Arkansas, last year, during
the Christmas and February drives, raised through its pa
triotic citizenship $123,000 for this praiseworthy humani
tarian cause. The need of these suffering peoples is a con
tinuing one; therefore, I appeal to the generous people of
our favored commonwealth to continue their contributions to
the great cause of Near-Eastern relief. I realize the severe
drains that have been made upon our people, but this is one
of the most worthy causes that has been presented. Let
good and charitably disposed individuals and organizations,
of every creed, contribute to this campaign and thereby send
Christmas cheer into homes less fortunate and happy than
ours.

JUDGE SIMMONS MAY
RECONVENE COURT.
A delegation, composed of
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Dilliard,
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Comer,
Mrs. Margaret Williamson,
Mrs. Lucy Critz, Mr. D. M.
Huff and ye editor, called up
on County Judge J. W. Sim
mons at Augusta Monday and
presented him with a large
petition from the citizens of
the county asking him to
please re-convene the Quorum
Court for the purpose of re
considering the matter of
making an appropriation for
the farm demonstration work
which was discontinued re
cently.
The Judge stated that he
would carefully consider our
claims and if possible, call a
meeting of the Court and that
he would report asto his ac
tion on the petition within a
few days.
If Judge Simmons will only
call the justices of the peace
together, we are sure that
with a full membership presn
ent, the farm agents will be
continued in Woodruff Coun
ty. Similiar action was taken
by the judge of Faulkner
County and others.
