THE SEAL SALE
SHOWS INCREASE
Complete List ofPrize Win
ners Announced Today I I
The Wisconsin Anti Tubercu-
losis Fund Larger Than
Ever Before.

Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. 5, Special
An estimate of the proceeds of the
1911 Red Cross seal sale made by
Campaign Manager, Otto F. Bradley
places the amount in round figures at
10000. Only part of this will go
to the Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis
association, the fifty local associations
retaining fifty per cent of the pro-
ceeds of the sale in their cities or a
total amount of $11 900 to be used in
local work.
The 1911 seal sale was the largest
ever made by the Association and ac-
cording. to an estimate made at the
Office of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis in New York is the largest, on
a per capita basis, of any state in
which seals were sold. If this estim-
ate is substantiated when the returns
are all in this, will be the third sue
cessive year that Wisconsin has held
the record.

MUST GET RID
OF SMALL BOXES
Fruit Growers Cannot Use
Their Small Cr.,;eS
Attorney General Holds
That Boxes Must Com
ply With Law

AS the result ola ruling made by
Attorney General Bancroft on the
new weight and measure law 'owners
of last year. berry crates and boxes
are due to loose about 1915, 900. The
shippers in Bayfield, and Door coun-
ties are due to loose heavily for there
is at the present time large supply
of the small berry crates on hand.
Some time ago E. c. Stevens CT this
city, manager of the Washburn Fruit
Grower Association, and O. Flanders
secretary of the Bayfield, Fruit ship
pers Association, took the matter up
with the Dairy and Food Commission
asking that they be allowed to use
what crates they had on hand provid-
ing the exact contests of each crate
be marked in plain figures. Each OF
these associations had large amount
of small crates on hand which would
he big loss if they were unable to
use them. The Attorney General
holds that there is no provision in the
law which countenances the use OF
any measure which does not comply
=
with the law. Therefore the owners
of the small measure boxes and crates
must either discard them or be liza
able to fine and Imprisonment ac-
cording to the law.
The owners of the small boxes felt
that in as much as they had these
crates on hand before the measure
became law that they should be al
lowed to use them and it was for this
reason that the matter was brought
to the attention of the Dairy and
Food Commission.
