EXPECT TO BREAK RECORD
Rcd Cross Seals Being Sold in tho
City in Large Misunderstanding
fOr n Nt.xv Mark

Efforts arc being made by tho
Grand Forks committee in charge of
Red Cross seals to beat all former
records. In 1910 the Grand Forks
committee sold 81 greater number of
stamps than were sold in any other
city of the state. and this year the
workers arc confident that they can
excel last years sale record and
maintain their position at the top of
the list.
The use Of the Red Cross seals is
becoming more general with each
passing year. and packages which
pass through the postolice and en-
press offices in Grand Forks arc posi-
tive evidence Of that fact.
