THE NORTHERN STATES HAVE ADOPTED THE 56" AUTO TRACK WAGON Which Wagon? The One that Fits the Road-or the One that Rides the Ridge • Recommended by the Gcvern- ent. This Wagon is Out of Date. This 60 ' The standardized wagon f>it* he pre- wide track wagon no longer fits'the vailing track made by auteo,].iles and roads when th-y are muddy and soft. o is the wagon you wi! war t to buy. - WOULDN'T you rathe: buy the style of wagon recommended by your Government, especially when it is designed ta pull easier, ride smoother, and last longer-- the wagon that fits the roads and does not ride the ridge? The Standardized Weber "Auto-track" Wagon saves wear on itself, other wagons, . automobiles, and rubber tires. The Weber fifth wheel and swivel coupling w on is either sold at a price much too low 3 or most other wagons are sold at prices much too high, quality considered. Compare and draw your own.conclusion. To date the leading wagon manufacturers of America have sold at the most conservative estimate 100,000 standardized auto.track wagons. Ferom this introduction it is but a step to universal use of this type of wagon. Would 't you rather be identified with progress and recognize;1 as an up-to-date farmer by doing your hauling with sch a wagon than to be classed as an unprogressive "back number" by buyng a 60-inch wide-track wagon, thereby helping some manufacturer and dealer to "unload" an obsolete type? Think it over - and then come and see us about a standardized auto-track Weber. LOVE BROS., Inc., Franklinton, La.

DAY IN All S i OLS Surgeon General Blue Asks That Churches Also Join in Move ment to Further Sale 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 pation wide campaign to combat tu berculosis. This year a special ef fort is being made to interest school children in this work and December fifth, sixth and seventh have been designated as days on which the seals are to be sold In the public schools, synagogues and churches. Because of the seriousness of the 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 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 campaign against tu berculosis in this country. Of every dollar received from the sale of Red "ross Christmas Seals, 91.7c remains 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 are first deducted, and whatever is left is 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 and em blem on the usual Christmas seal. This year the Red Cross has no other part in the Tuberculosis Seal Cam paign. The Red Cross Seal is a 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 saving of thousands of lives may be realized. mwill demand the sale of at least 650, .,000 Red Cross Seals at one cent .
