This is the slogan that is to guide the Indiana Tuberculosis association in its work for 1920 according to announcement today by G. C Johnson, of Evansville, president of the Assoc-

bach. The association plans to attack the program of finding the eases before they are so far advanced as to be hopeless. To carry out theso plans and establish a system of finding these cases the association is bend- I i,ng every effort toward making the annual Christmas Seal Sale a success. Sales of the penny seals are expected to supply thef unds with which the extended campaign may he conducted “One reaso n for the continued high death rate from tuberculosis in Indiann”, said Mr. Auerbach, “is the fact that we have nets ucceeded in finding the cases in time to check them Tuberculosis in the early stages can

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec.. 20 — Walter E. Pittsford, eleventh District Governor of Rotary has transmitted to Rotary Clubs in Indiana the endorsement by Interactional Rotary of the Herbert Hoover campaign to raise $33,000,700 for the starving children of Central Europe. Estes Snedecor of Portland. Oregon, international president in a letter to Rotary Club presidents and secretaries. “The more I think of it the more I am impressed with the great value and urgency for this work, and I am moved to write the United states executive for the purpose of asking your clubs to devote the week of Dec- ! ember 19 to the campaign of the European Relief Council. Every American family should have as its Christmas Day guest one of these little children a,, invisible guest but none the less a real one.

To Herbert Hoover the deaths from starvation of babes and dttle children has been the outstanding horror of the war—and he has seen all Its phases. The carnage ot artillery, the hand-to-hand grappling in No Man’s Land as dusk yielded to dawn, the frightful suffering iu Improvised Held hospitals and the pitiful maiming and blinding of men destroyed in useful j faculties but permitted to live- all these are forgotten when puny arms of hungry little ones are stretched for
food that Is not.

Ten dollars will keep a child for ten months or until the next harvest. Already Roumania and Sorvia have recovered and are feeding and cloth lug their or (♦tans and needy children.

They climed down a ladder into the men’s lavatory on the mezzanine floor and from there went to the main floor It is presumed that they were familiar with the bank's procedure, as they made n<> attempt to get into the basement vaults The outside door of the book vault was not locked.

One of the packages stolen contained $4 500 and the others los

The suit of Jacob Huffman against Enoc Proctor tried in the Putnam Circuit court the last two days of last week in which each of the parties was asking for damages, resulted in
a draw.
For the jury found that the m i-
dent in which the machine driven by each man was damaged, was as much
the fault of one as the other. The ease was originally file- 1 by-
Jacob Huffman, who asked damag-s of Enoch Proctor He asked damages to cover the damage to It's automobile, which damage resulted from an acident o n ,the Bainbridge and New Maysvillo road last summer in whvh Huffman and Proctor autonioh^s e->|-
lided
Then Proctor filer' a cross co nplaint asking damages fivm Huffman Huffman alleged that Pnvtor was to blame and Proctor alleged that Huffman was to blame. The jury- found that one was to blame as much as the other and so ordered that each man pay his own damages. So the case ended just where its tated with each man wanting the other to pay the damage to his machine nnd with each having to pay his own damage.
