HOW PROCEEDS ARE DIVIDED.
Red Cross Agent Explains Purpose of Seal
Campaign.

Many questions have been asked re-
gardipg the disposition of funds from
the Red Cross seal campaign for a week.
The people, while approving the general
purpose of this sale, are anxious to
know for what object the funds will be
used and those in charge of the sale
have had many inquiries during the last
few days.
In reply to these inquiries the COM
mlttee has asked the newspapers to
make the following statement:
'The Red Cross seal campaign is the
one appeal made to the whole people Of
the United States in behalf of tubercu-
losis work. At this time and at no other
time all charitable bodies in the country
engage in raising funds to combat con-
sumption and united in asking the friends
of this work everywhere to use these
seals. In Virginia there are at present
rs, 900 cases of consumption and of this
number only about so per cent. are able
to pay for the necessary treatment.
The funds raised from the Red Cross
seals go directly to the care of these
people and to the education of others IN
the prevention of consumption. Fifty
per cent. of the proceeds of the sale 90
directly to the relief of consumptives in
this locality, 81 IL per cent. of the pro-
ceeds goes to the aid of the state Anti
Tuperculosis association which is carry
inc on an pducofi0nol oor,D,;~-- l. ~ =
cites and counties of Virginia; the re-
naming IL IL per cent. of the proceeds
is used for the tuberculosis work of the
National Red Cross. We appeal to all
friends of tuberculosis wors in our mid
st to aid this cause at this time and to
use the beautiful Red Cross seals as a
means of preventing the disease and
curing those who are now suffering from
it.

Hints to Stock Owners.

Irregularity in time of feeding and
quantity will cause Indigestion.
An ignorant, ill-tempered, loud-voiced
man should never be tolerated in any
stable.
Do not neglect to give each horse a
chance to drink the last thing at night,
even if the weather is cool.
A horse that is thirsty all night will
lose in condition, as compared with one
watered frequently, and the last thing
at night.
A little shelled corn mixed in with the
ground feed you give your horses will
help to keep them from swallowing
their food too fast.
The man who bores auger-holes in his
stable floor to allow the liquid manure
to escape, is the man who is always
hard up and in bad luck"
Do not neglect to keep the feet of the
driving horses sharply shod. 1t may
save bad wrenches and will greatly add
to the comfort of the animals.
Do not put handful of salt in the
feed box. Put brick or lump of rock
salt in a convenient place where the
horse may help himself to it when he
wants it.
Don't try to winter fall pigs without
good provision for slop. Besides the
feeding value, the slop encourages the
pigs to drink freely, which is desirable
in cold weather.

lnGendIaTy Fire.

Mrs. A. A. Benbow, of Graham, met
with the misfortune early Sunday morn
Jog to lose her barn by fire, thought to
have been of incendiary origin. The
blaze was first noticed about four O'Clock
in the morning by L Burton who
lives opposite the Benbow home and he
was attracted by the bright light shining
in his window. Mr.. Burton hurried to
the scene of the fire and with assistance
of Mrs. Benbow's sons, who had awake
ned, succeeded 10 getting the stock out
of their stalls without injury to them,
but it required quick action on the part
of the rescuers, for the building was all
but eoeveloped with the flames when
they arrived. Several fine cows were
haltered in the stable and would have
perished in short time. The loft con-
tanned about $50 worth of hay, which
was destroyed. The building was either
fired by some miscreaat for the express
purpose of destroying it or was set by a
match carelesssly handled by tramps oc.
cupyiDg it. However, there doesn't ap-
pear to be any clue to the guilty party
or parties responsible for the loss of the
barn and feed.

In days of old only New England

how Missouri joined in. An old time
Methodist parson writes it:

guest of an old FRIEND Il good Meth

ing the afternoon he asked me how it
happened that the governor of Mis-
souri, never issued a Thanksgiving
proclamation
Il told him that had never consid
cred the matter. but would suggest it
to Governor Stewart as soon as | re-
turned to Jefferson City.
"My friend said that if the proclama-
ton was issued must be his guest on
Thanksgiving day and that a yellow
gobbler should at once be put in fat
tening against the feast.
"In the course Of time | got back to-
the capital and called upon the gov
ernor to suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of is

that's in the religious line. Suppose
you write it..
