- It is with no small degree of pride
that we inaugurate a new feature, a
splendid magazine section, which will
be a regular part of The Observer
during the ensuing year. There are
only two other papers in the state
using this feature at present. In it
will be found the opening chapters
of a splendid new serial story, our
regular cartoon, national and international news and state news of importance, a kiddies', corner, a number of articles of special interest "to
the ladies and many other good
things. Some of these have been in
use by The Observer for years, but
there will be' found many new ones.
The addition of the feature section
makes The Observer the largest
weekly newspaper in the county outside the county seat, which is quite
an achievement.
We are not promising to continue
the feature section more than one
year, but we shall- be glad to do so
if an increased subscription list shows
that it is really appreciated. This is
a gentle hint that if it appeals to
you, show your paper to a non-subscriber and invite him or her to join
our already large, family of readers
so that we may continue to make the
section a permanent part of the paper.

REPORT OF SEAL SALE
Final reports of the Christmas seal
sale of the Washtenaw branch of the
Michigan Tueberculosis Association
have been announced by Mrs. Flora
Neal Brown, executive secretary of
the branch. Washtenaw county residents contributed a total of 55,123.34
through the purchase of the tuberculosis seals, the report shows.
Ann Arbor and rural residents gave
$3,639.48 to the association for its
tuberculosis work in the county. Yp-
silanti's total was $850.58. Chelsea
residents purchased seals amounting
to $140.75, and Dexter contributed
$107.15. Saline's' total was $119.75,
Milan, $147.52, and Manchester,
$118.11.
Officials of the association expressed satisfaction with the response of
Washtenaw residents to the annual
sale. Conditions tnis year made it
impossible for the association, to approach the original goal set, or to
show an increase over the total for
the previous year.
"The response to the sale on the
part of Washtenaw residents has been
generous, and wo- desire to again express our appreciation of their co-operation," >Mrs. Brown said. "All funds
obtained from the seal sale will be
used in the association's efforts toward the eradication of tuberculosis."

NOTE ON ADVERTISING
Ole Hanson, general manager of the
Farmers Equity Co-Operative Creamery at Orleans, Neb., which is the
largest creamery in the class, in the
world, is 'a strong believer in advertising.    He tells this one:
"Speaking of advertising, reminds
me of a story of a certain friend of
mine, who was somewhat inclined to
brag. This man happened to be very
fond of good looking ladies. He made
the statement to me one day, that he
always asked every good looking lady
he met for a kiss. I remonstrated
with him -by asking, 'You don't mean
to tell me that you always get it?'
He Shook his head and said, 'No, but
you would be surprised.' "—Beaver
