Commander Robert e. Peary has
been voted gold medal by the Ma
tional geographic society for having
reached the north pole. The board
OF managers Of the society at meet
ing last week, accepted unanimously
the report Of its subcommittee of
scientists who had examined the ex-
plorer's records and proofs, and found
them to be conclusive of his claim
that he had reached the pole. The
society adopted resolution that the
question Of whether or not any ex-
plorer reached the north pole prior to

mittee of experts with authority to
send for papers or make such jour
neys as may be necessary to inspect

the society proposes as soon as pos
sible to pass upon the records OF

RED CROSS STAMPS.

Big Effort to be Made to Increase
Sales = Everybody should Help.
In general way everybody knows about
the Christmas sale of Red Cross stamps,
and its object. These stamps will be on
sale all over the country again this year.
Mrs. E. <. Hopkins, secretary OF the Red
Cross society in Ellsworth, is the agent
for Hancock county for these stamps, and
supplies may be obtained from her.
Prof. Victor c. Vaughan, of Ann Arbor,
. careful observer, said at the recent tuber-
culosis congress in Washington that from
zoo, 900 to 10000 citizens of this country
die annually OF tuberculosis. That is,
two-thirds TO three fourths Of our fellow
countrymen die between the ages Of eigh-
teen and forty-dve years, when the earn
ing capacity 10 greatest, to say nothing Of
the prolonged suffering to the patient
and the great sorrow to those bereaved.
This is preveutable, bat only preventa bio
when all work together to conquer this
of the human race.
In view Of this situation the people of
this community and Of this county ara
asked to plan the expenditure of their
Christmas money with this need ever in
mind. 1t is hoped that citizens Of Els
worth and of Hancock county will plan to
buy Just - literally as they can, appreci-
ating just what the slogan of 1908 meant
and means now: EVERY stamp q bullet
in the fight against tuberculosis"
1t seemed ~ il the business methods of
Red Cross last year were all that could be
desired, but the committee has advanced
. step this year. Last year one-third went
to American Red Cross; this year only
ONE nth; last year the local Red Cross So
oiety bore the expenses of the sale; this
year the national society bears the ex-
penses; last year the national society
spent much Of the money raised; this year
the local societies will spend most OF the
proceeds in their own districts. Let every
body help to help everybody.
