RED CROSS SALE THIS YEAR WILL
BE BIGGER THAN EVER, SAY
THE OFFICIALS.
0opyrtRht Dnl

''The sale of Red Cross Christmas
stamps will be continued this year." said
Dr.. Livingstone Ferrand, 'and it will be
larger and more comprehensive than
ever"
He makes this statement in a message
sent out by the press bureau of the Red
Cross association of which h els secre-
tary of the executive committee.
DIR. Ferrand denies most emphatica,ly
the statements that have appeared from
time to time to the effect that Postmas-
ter Hitchcock had forbidden the sale Of
the Red Cross stamps, he says: mo Of
fetal order has been issued on this mat
ter" ION July the department decided
that they could no longer carry mail
matter which bore stamps or seals which
resembled postage stamps.
"Our design of the Red Cross seal,
however, has been approved definitely by
Postmaster General Hitchcock and the
department, and it does not come within
the prohibitions of this order Of July 1.
1T hardly looks as If we were going
to abandon the sale, when we have al
ready placed the order for the printing
of fifty million seals and for large guam
titles of advertising matter.
1.-THE Red Cross seal this year will be
from new design drawn by an artist
In Washington. Every effort has been
made to get as far away from the con-
ventional design of the stamps and seals
as possible. The new seal will depict q
very pretty winter scene.
ut is important that everyone bears in
mind that the postoft1ce department will
not carry any letters bearing these seals
or any other non-postage stamps upor
the face of the letter. Red Cross seals
may and should be placed on the bach
" letters and packages

PROCI4AMATIONS HAVE BEEN
MADE FOR OBSERVANCE OF
FESTIVAL IN DEVILS LAKE.

President Taft and Governor Burke
have both ISSUED proclamations max
ing Thursday, NOV. 80. Thanksgiving
day this year. All ready@the ever-hungry
small boy, and large oNes, too, are look
ing forward to the feast of turkey, cram
berry sauce, pumpkin pie, and the other
good things that go to make up the good
old fashioned Thanksgiving day dinner.
But there is deeper significance to
Thanksgiving. Way back in 1871, when
the Pilgrims at Plymouth had lived
through that terrible first winter in the
New England forest, had taken advan-
tage of the summer to fortify themselves
for the coming winter, they set aside
day in which to give thanks for the
blessings that had been accorded them.
On this day, then, it is only fitting to
consider the many blessinsg that have
come to those who are .iving in this age
the many advantages which the Pill
grims did not have.
., The Devils Lake plans are already be-
ing made for a fitting celebration Of the
day. Both the Elks and Commercial
club will tender receptions to their mem
bers and in the evening it is likely there
will be dance given by some locar or
ganization. A large number Of dinner
parties are being arranged for.
