stead of the farmer. These are but n
few of the variations, and it is To do
away with these and the others that
the work of securing a uniformity of
design for the seal has been taken nm
The matter is in charge of State An
ditor Charles +. Hatch and Auditor of
State Printing F.. n. Carver, and the
two gentlemen have been working IN
the matter for about three months
They were unable to find the ORIGINAL
drawing which was approved nv tho
Legislature of 1920, and the most a,1-
thentic design available was secured
from the die of the seal in the office of
the secretary of State. 1t was from
this that the design of the seal to be
used was taken, and the result secured
is very satisfactory. 1t was not the
intention of the two gentlemen to
secure a design which should be artistic,
but rather reproduction as nearly as
possible Of the original design The
circle which encloSes the seal has a
milled center, and the balance of the
design is reproduction of that on the
die mentioned above, except that a
very light background has been intro
duced. Just enough to make a tint
slightly darker than the paper on
which the seal is printed, the effect of
which is very pleasing
the new seal will be used on all the
State stationery and copies sent to the
different type foundries, and all print
ing offices will be requested to destroy
those which they now have on hand
and purchase the new seals. which tits
understood can be secured at cost.
