pie, Regret Number IL
Small.

One week ago the question con-
fronting the officials of the Montgom-
cry Anti-Tuberculosis League was not
whether all the supply of Christmas
Red Cross stamps would meet local
demands, but would they be sold?
Now the worry centers about the
ability of the league to supply the de-
mand that will be made during the
last few days of Christmas shopping.
It's a question now of getting your
supply of Christmas stamps now. be-
fore someone else beats you to the
limited number still on hand.
However, 1t Is probable that the
booths at the post office and several
of the city stores, where the stamps
are ON sale, win be able to meet most
of the demands that are being made
on them. Anyhow, it is assured that
the 10000 stamps allotted Montgom-
ery will be sold before Christmas eve.
