RED CRoss STAMPS OUT.
..sIiIlion for Tuberculosis Relief" This
Winter.

"a million for tuberculosis" Is the
slogan Of the 1910 Red Cross Christ
mas stamp campaign. The familiar
little seals that are seen on letters
at Christmas time have proved such
a success that this year about a hun
dred million Of them will probably
be printed. Already twenty-five mil
lion have been struck off and will
soon be placed on sale.
The Red Cross has new scheme
this year for the sale Of the seals
1t will sell them to local associations,
and these associations will receive
.S7h per cent Of the profits, the
other 12h per cent going to pay
the expenses of getting them out.
What is left will be divided equally
between the Red Cross and the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
The stamps, which are OF an at
tractlve design this year may be
placed on the backs as well as the
fronts Of letters. The reason that
the Red Cross desires to have them
known as seals" is that last year the
dead letter office of the postoffice
=
was packed with missives bearing
only the Red Cross stamps. Many
ignorant persons and some not so
ignorant believed that the seals pre-
rsld postage. About forty millions OF
them were printed last year, and
the sum realized amounted to about
Y million dollars.
Stamps Of this character were used
in Brooklyn and Boston as far back
as 1852 in connection with Civil War
bazaars and fairs. They disappeared
for time, but Jacob Rils, finding
them used in Norway in a tuberculo-
sis campaign, wrote an article about
them which induced the Delaware
state Association to adopt them in
l19O7. About three thousand dollars
was raised in three weeks in Della
ware and Eastern Pennsylvania. They
were first used nationally in 1908 and
S1S5, 900 was raised by the Red Cross

OUR FRIEND, The HAWK.


Autumn is commonly regarded As
TIE season when the bids disappear
and while It is true that many Of the
Heathered songsters arc preparing
to wing their way southwark, It Is
not generally known that others are
coming In to take their places.
The most noticeable Of these fall
and winter fisitors are the hawks.
There are only a few varieties of
hawks that we can call residents,
that is, kinds that build nests and
rear their young here. There are
the Cooper's or Chicken hawk. the
Red Tail and the Broad Wing; all
other types go to the northern fot-
ests for breeding grounds.
There is a very popular notion that
all hawks prey upon birds or fowls
and for this reason he is regarded
as an enemy and a nuisance, espe-
cially by the farmer. In recent years
the government has taken up the
matter Of bird protection, making ex-
tenslve investigation Of the food
found in the stomachs Of species that
were said to be enemies Of man. The
hawk was one Of the first to be called
to account for It's deeds. The result
OF long examination Of many stom-
aehs proved that there were but
three species that prey extensively
upon birds or barnyard poultry. The
Cos, the ooOper's and the sharp-shin-

Small birds will be found assoclating
with the little falcon in perfect har-
mony. The other hawks will soon
be seen in the middle west, having
come to spend the winter here, called
the Rough-leg and Harlan's hawk.
They are both large birds with dark
plumage. These two types are
rather sluggish and are apt to sit
along the road side in easy gun shot
Many OF these are also wantonly
killed even by the farmer. Their
food is almost exclusively the flesh
Of rabbits and squirrels, never, even
when driven by hunger, have they
been known to carry away chicken.

Beginning Oct. / the Union Pacific
has increased the pay of all its tele-
graph operators. The order was made

ization has been working for a gener'
al increase in wages for the past two

aries in one year to these men will

Simeon +. baldwin. Democratic gov.

lished here today.
Judge Baldwin's observations on the
political situation include the follow
ing:
"The Democratic psrty must not be
a stand-sti1l party. It must go back
TO pre-Bryanite progressiveness.
"For instance, no one would pretend
that Mr.. Tilden was a stand-patter.
Our central idea must be the re-
duction of the tariff, which means. in
the old phrase. a lowering of the
taxes. The result will be to lower
prices.
Powers Enlarged Too Far.
"The best way to retain success Is
to hold a. reasonable middle course.
The real position for every party 20
take is q middle position, and that is
the position the Democratic party
should take.
