NUMBER 37 SILETZ The Hallowe'en party given at the Government School building, drew a big crowd that taxed the seating capa city of the room to the walls and some had to stand. The stage and room were beautifully decorated with the usual number of prowlers at night, euch as cats, owls, bats, witches, ones, ghosts, pumpkins with big eyes, new moon with stars glittering, ghosts moving about in whito garments and occasionally chattering noises as though the spirits were talking. The room was darkened and one felt as though you were in a land of spooks and Bpirits flitting and running about the room made the cold chills run up ones back. The decorating committee consisted of Mrs. M. S. Collins, Mrs. W. S. Hall, Miss Mary Henery-and Miss Augusta Smith and Miss Alma Ross. W. S. Hall acted as chairman of the meeting and had charge of the "program which wp.s gotten up by the Siletz M. E. Church Sunday School.

CHRISTMAS SEALS The Oregon Tuberculosis Associa tion, undnr the direction of the execu tive secretary, Mrs. Saidie Orr-Dun-bar. Is organizing Its forces throughout the Btate for the annual sate of Christ mas Seals. Robert W. Osborn, who has just conducted a tuberculosis sur vey of Eastern Oregon, has been named seal sale director and is el ready In the Held building up an or ganization for what the Association hopes will be the blggeBt and most successful sale yet held In the stats. The Public Health Association will conduct the sale In the eleven coun ties where they exist; they are Jack son, Coob, lane, Washington, Clacka mas, Hood River, Union, Harney, Cur ry, Multnomah. In other counties other organizations have already sig nified their intention of taking an ac tive part In the sale of the Seals. In Yamhill county club women will con duct the sale in McMlnnville, New berg, ' Sheridan, Amity, Wlllamina, Dayton, Carlton and Dundee. " Miss Edith Wylll9 of Dayvllle, Grant County, has the distinction of Calvin Coolidqe belng the first woman to volunteer her services as seal sale agent before the sale has begun. Columbia and Clatsop counties were visited during the' past week by Mr. Osbora and or ganized assistance was arranged. Mrs. Dunbar visited The Dalles last week and spoke before the Sorosls Club and that club volunteered to take over the aguncy for the seal sale for the entire county of Wasco. The budget of the Oregon Tubercu losis Association for use in 1921 Is $15,000 and through the sale of the Christmas seals at a cent a piece, this sum will be sought This means' a rale of five seals per capita If the work of the Association Is to be con tinned along its established lines. If a sum less than this Is raised it will mean the sacrificing of some part of the vital educational, demonstration and experimental work. Four and a half million seals have been received by the Oregon Associa tion. The 1020 Seal features a tiny green elf, who carries aloft the stan dard of the Anti-Tuberculosis Asso ciation, the red double-barred cross, while riding atop the pack of gifts carried by Santa Claus. The scheme of the stamp is to typify the "greatest Christmas packages during the month of December will Insure the carrying of the gift of good health to hundreds , . ... a i ji this state to combat the disease.

On the National ticket Harding beat Cox In this county by a majority of about 700. Stanfield beat Chamber lain by about 125 majority. On tha County ticket, John Fogarty, Dem. beat Howell, Rep., by a little over a hundred votes, and Ed. Stocker's, Dem., lead over Schwartz, Rep., for the Assessorshlp, will be slightly less. Simpson, Dem., beat Gwynn, Rep., for the Sheriffship by about 400. Ord Castle, County Surveyor, Is the only Republican who overcame his' opposition, and the indications are that he will have a majority of better i than 200 over his opponent, Z. M. Der- rick, Dem..
