HISTORY OF THE
RED CROSS SEALS
The Raising Of Money to
Stamp Out White
Plague

The United States government has
Z Joined hands with the crusaders
against tuberculosis. Every postohlce
in the country has been thrown open
TO the volunteers who are selling the
Red Cross Seals. They are now on
saleiin the Wilmington postoflice cor
ridor. Permission has been grant
ed for the erection efzhooths. and in
many Of the smaller towns, the post
masters themselves are helping swell
the proceeds Of the sale by encourag-
ing customers to buy the Christmas
Seals as well as the postage stamps.
Larger than the sales anywhere else
are those among Norwegians in this
country This is because the idea of
the Red Cross Seal first came from
Norway In 1907 Jacob Riis, the famous
author of '~rhe Making OF An Ameri-
cam received a letter from Norway
with the Christmas stamp upon it. He
wrote an article in the "Outlook" de-
scribing this curious stamp and sug-
gcsted how it might be used in this
country Miss Emily p. Bissen, Of
ilis city, secretary Of the Delaware
Red Cross, at once saw the oppor-
tunity and realized three thousand
dollars for tuberculosis work Sc
impressed was she with this success
that she induced the American Red
Cross TO take up the sale in 1908 on
a national basis. With very little or
gcrization and with hardly any at
tempt at careful advertising, the sale
that year brought in, nevertheless,
over Sl35.000 for anti-tuberculosis
work in various parts of the United
States In 1909, with more thorough
organization, the sale was increased
to S230.O0O. and in 1910 to nearly
$4,000. Last year the sale increased
70 over $4,000 or 33,oOO,000 seals.

back only four years, Charity

nally sprung. go back TO 1862, wher

THE foregoing shows that the Post
Office Department expended for rail-
way transportation, in 1901, $34.1S in
order to earn 500 In gross, and that
by 1911 this expenditure had been re-
duced 37.S per cent, to S21.26.

that there has been any net reduction
in the cost Of supplying railway mail
services and facilities since 1901, the
year in which the report Of the Joint
Commission to Investigate the Postal
Service was made In fact, all changes
in railway operating cots, except
those due to increased efficiency Of
organization and management. which
can have little. II any effect in connec-
tlon with mail traffic have been in
the opposite direction. During the
years characterized by these reduc-
tions the railways have been called
upon continually TO improve the char
acter of their postal service and the
Post Oiiice Department Will not deny
that the railways are now rendering
better, more frequent, and more expe-
ditious postal service than in 1901. or
any intermediate year, and are doing
so at greatly increased cost to them
selves.

the Commission, then united in the
following
Upon a careful consideration OF
all the evidence and the statements
and arguments submitted, and in view
of all services rendered by the rail-
ways. we are OF the opinion that the
prices now paid to the railroad COM
panies for the transportation Of the
mails are not excessive. and recon-
mend that no reduction thereof be
made at this time
"Since the Commission reported. the
volume OF the American mails, the
revenue of the American postal SER
vice and its demands upon the rail-
ways for services and facilities have
greatly increased. The costs of sup
plying railway transportation have
also greatly increased. The necessary
cost of railway property per unit Of
service has increased, and in conse-
Quence, the amount required as a rea-
sonable return thereon, on account Of
higher wages and prices, the higher
standards OF service demanded and the
higher value of the real estate requir-
ed for extended and necessary ter
minal plants.
Operating expenses have grown by
reason of repeated advances In rates
of wages paid to employees OF every
grade and increased prices Of ma
terials and supplies. Taxes have in
creased with the rapidly augmenting
exactions OF State and local govern
ments, and the imposition of an entire

advancing railway expenses. and in

excessive, the rates of paymen. for
railway mail services have been sub

creases accomplished both by legisla-
tive and administrative orders. These
reductions have so much more than
offset the rathei doubtful advantages

their cost Of maintenance and raise
colts worth $1,000.
The economy of the heavy mare on
the farm, both from the standpoint Of
doing farm work and producing colts
compared with light and medium
weight mares is nicely summed up as
follows by Secretary Dinsmore of the
Percheron Society of America: "The
cost of maintenance under farm con-
ditions Is about the same, the heavier
mares are more efficient In the work
of the farm, the colts are ready for
work year younger, and If carried
to the same age, will bring about
twice as much as the colts from the
light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight mares"
This summary was drawn up after
some careful thinking, upon the ques-
ton being put to the secretary by an
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding of
horses, what kind of mares should
l use? want to know all things con-
sidered, whether l should buy a 1900
pound, 1,400 pound or 1,700 pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as business man wanted to
know whtat would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative effl-
cheney on the farm and what the rela-
tive market value of the colts pro-
duced, of these three classes of mares.
Here Is how he thinks out the mat
ter, and his thinking was based on ex-
tended observation and experiences:
All three classes can, of course, be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen.
eral figures. But in respect to working
efficiency. If we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow
ance Is made II the 1,450 pound horse
Is credited at 80 per cent, and the
1,200 pound horse at 80 per cent. The
colts bred to good draft sire will
average somewhere about 1900
pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
1,700 pound mares, 1900 to 1000
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years of age The
same is true Of the medium weight
colts, but buyers are securing the
country for heavy colts. Every good
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age. The heavier colts sell earlier,
or If carried until they are older and
then put on the market, the prices ad.
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around $500 pounds will not bring
more than $140 to SITS on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great glut of common
light drafters on the market. Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring 5000 to s240, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
to $780, The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

Sizes Of SlIos,

A silo IL feet in diameter and 81

diameter and 80 feet high will hold
about 103 tons. Twelve cows require
36 tons of silage to supply them 200
days at the rate Of 30 pounds a day.
A silo 10 feet in diameter and % to
"a feet high would be very good
size for this number Of cattle. II 1t is
desirable to make some preparation
for summer, and as a rule 1t Is, then
the silo should be built still higher. On
reasonably good land a yield OF 10
tons per acre of green corn may be ex-
pected. On very rich land as high as

The marriage recently of Mrs.

Jones, a Chicago banker, was in sharp
contrast to her first marriage, 38 years

Nellie Grant was then the idol Of
the nation and her marriage took
place in the east room of the White
House while her distinguished father
was president. 1t was one Of the
greatest social events the White
House had seen up to that time, or
perhaps since. Simple, amiable and
unaffected, Nellie Grant, the only
daughter Of General Grant, had en-
deared herself to the American people
and she went with her husband to

the heartiest good wishes.
