XMAS AT HOPE FARM

Self-preservation is the first law OF
Nature.
Charity is the first law of Christianity.
These two are often at strife, but there
is cause Just now in Delaware which
reconciles them both. To send Christ
mas check for tuberculosis work is part
of the law of love, and the law of self
preservation, for every man or woman
who helps the cause of tuberculosis pre-
vents future danger for himself or her
self.
The Christmas check and the Christ
mas seals are both Delaware inventions.
The Christmas seal has spread over the
whole country, and the little stickers are
merrily selling at home also. Several other
states have lately inquired about the
Christmas checks with a view to trying
it, 30 that Delaware may set the fashion
in this too, very soon.
The appeal issued by the directors OF
Hope farm and extended to every Della
warean follows:
HOPE FARM WISHES You \ MERRY NMAs

how many young men, when urged to

of the immediate practical in education
are pushed to the fore:) tProgress does
not mean to root up anything; it means
to deuetop everything. 1t means adapta-
ton in your thoughts, in your work, in
your sympathy, in your relations with
other men. l was saying to little group
of cadets yesterday that their uniforms
mean particular thing to them; that
when a man wears military uniform it
means that he subjects himself to the ser
vice of society. l would have you all
feel that as educated men you haze don
ned the uniform Of society. You strug-
gle for an education, you develop your
minds, quicken your imaginations and
strengthen your wills that on vesting with
this uniform of society you may be quail
| iied for service, and that when the con-
fiict is on you may acquit yourselves cred
itably, pushing ever forward with the
banner which, as educated men, you
should never suffer to be lowered, much
less surrendered, (the banner of personal
adaptation to the needs of your age.)
New York City, it appears, is already
face to face with the situation prophe-

season had gone by. But from the
day that The North American took
up the project of selling the Christ
mas stamps there was phenomenal
demand for them. This newspaper
put them on sale in its publication
office. and through The North
American they were introduced
into some of the big stores.
Booths were put up III public
places to accommodate the demand
for the stamps. Requests for sup
plies came flooding through the
mails. East and south and west re-
sponded. Some demands were
from far-otf California, with
Christmas only few days away.
The Christmas stamp had become a
national institution over night.
That was in 1907. Before the
holiday season of 1908 the Christ
mas stamp had been adopted of
ficially by the National Red Cross.
The Pennsylvania Society put
stamps on sale. The North Ameri
can Immediately took one million
of them for disposal. This astound-
ing number was not sufficient to
supply the demand. Before the
sale closed this newspaper sold
1.214,751.
So general did the use of the
/
stamps become in the following
year that the postoffice was Obliged
to make regulations as to their use,
and the name was changed to
Christmas seals. The demand for
them went steadily OH, and the GUS
tom extended to every part of the
nation-to every village and ham
let, as well as to the great and little
cities.
! And now their use is all but uni
versal. A Christmas package or
letter without a Red Cross Seal is
almost as rare as a home without
Santa Claus. And every one of
these tiny seals means that the
sender of the package has added to
the gift it contains his contribution
to the war fund of the poor in the
fight against consumption. Every
letter bearing Red Cross seal
means that, in addition to the
.! christmas greeting it contains, it
carries a message of good cheer. of
hope and health and life to men
and women who but for the little
stamp would be facing an open
grave.
For science has amply demon
strated that consumption is a cur,
able disease. 1t is a disease of fouI
air and darkness and poor food and
overwork. For this reason it is the
particular foe of the poor, who
through economic and social injus
tice, are forced to live in dark, bad
!, ly ventilated. unsanitary houses
who frequently are broken down

That tiny Red Cross Christmas
seal has become trul y national IN
stitution. 1t will, i'll all probability,
become as immemorialIy part or
our national Christmas celebration
AS is Santa Claus or the Christmas
tree. For it is more truly represen-
tativc of the modern Christmas
spirit than are either of the bean
tiful traditions inherited from the
childhood days Of our great Teuto-
Celtic race.
Nothing is more remarkable
about the Red Cross seal than the
story Of its humble origin and its
phenomral rise to the dignity and
position of a national institution.
The North American is peculiarly
we'll situated to speak with accu-
racy on the subject. for this news
paper was active III bringing the
stamp into its own. We did not
know. however, at the time that we
were engaged in project which
was to take on such prodigious pro-
portions and which was to become
IA fixed part of the nation s Christ
mas celebration.
The idea of tn eChristmas stamp
as means of raising revenue to
fight consumption originated Ill
Denmark. a little nation that has
given more than it's share to the
world in humanitarian thought and
work. Roosevelt's friend, Jacob
Riis. great Dane and great Ameri-
can that he is, in an article which
he wrote for the Outlook magazine,
called attention to the fine senti-
ment and large possibilities which
were contained in the Christmas
stamp idea.
Aside from this publication, the
Christmas stamp had little or no
attention in this country until Miss
Emily Bissell, of Wilmington, Del,
conceived the notion of adapting
it to the needs of the poor consump-
tives of her little state. Miss Bis
sell is a woman who does things.
She is typical of that constantly
growing class of American woman
hood which is awakening the people
to sOcila consciousness, to the
truth that we are our brother S
keeper. And she adds to the spirit
of service notably personal eff
ticiency.
Miss Bissell tried to get the Ma
tional Red Cross Society interested
in the Christmas stamps. The Of
ficers with whom she discussed i;
did not encourage her to expect
anything in the matter.
At that time there was need OF
some open-air shacks for the hous
ing of poor consumptives III Della
ware. and there WASH t any money
with which to build them. Miss
Bissell thought to raise part of th'
needed sum through the sale o
Christmas stamps. She had hope
that $3.50 might be realized. Sh'
had no organization behind her, al
though she had the official indorse
ment of the Delaware Red Cross
She paid for the printing of tn
stamps herself. Knowing of Tn
North American S long campaign
in behalf of the consumptives, sh
appealed to this paper to aid her Il
popularizing the new stamps.
That was about ten days befor
Christmas. Much of the holida,

Richmond's Colts won one of the
fastest games ever played in Broad

they defeated the Norfolk crew by
the score of to !.
Less than an hour and a half was
consumed. The game was clean in
every respect. and the result was
received by the thousand or more
fans with applause.
The errors that are registered
against the Colts made no difference
In the score. The balls handled were
hard ones, and II IL almost shame
to have to put them down as errors.
Was Pitchcrs' Hattie.
From the standpoint Of the fans
the game may be put down az Pitch

much with the opposing twirier.
AyFes. the Gawky mediro. had the
best of Pool. the ianky one from the
city by the sea. while the outfieId cut
OF several swashes that might ordi-
narily have been hits.
Flournoy's work deserves mention
particularly. He swiped hit or two
that might have changed the result
some. Burke. also. grabbed a fine one
from the atmosphere. MATHS behaved
nicely. ana It In quite safe to say that
had the outfield not been as strong az
ii is there would have been more runs
to the credit OF the visitors.
Snap was In evidence all through
the game. The players went to their
positions and back to the bench on the
trot and there was Some favorable
comment upon the display Of gipger.
Colts First Run.
The Colts first run came in the
first inning. Graf had passed away at
