You'll feel very badly if asked: "Did
you place Red Cross Seal on all your
Christmas packages and etters7 to have
to reply "No."
Why don't you buy dollars worth
And then you can say YES.
How about the teachers in the Sixth
Districts Are they not interested in tell
ing their children about the Red Cross
Seals and why they are solds Haven't
heard from many of them ordering these
pretty little Seals. Come along, there's
no time to lose.
We hope you'll buy from the stores
where they are sold. For fear you have
forgotten where they may be had we'll
tell you again: Misses Mccoy. Eli T.
Reynolds. Mrs. Jennie Gillespie. W. T.
Fryer or direct from me.
But in case you forget to get them we
hope to have booth in the postofice in
Rising Sun where they may be sold about
the time you are mailing your packages
and we do not want one package to get
through the postofice, without bearing
Red Cross Seal. or more than one Seal
if you like. Then we'd like to see one on
every letter for ten days preceding Christ

and tell your friends about them.

Foot Crushed BY Elevator.

Wilson L. Coudon, of Perryville, chief
clerk in the Office of the State, Insurance
Commission, and former worlds cham
pion hammer thrower. was hurt Thurs
day morning in the Union Trust Building,
Baltimore. when his left foot was caught
betweenan elevator and the flooring on the
fifth floor of the building. Mr.. Coudon
was taken to the Mercy Hospital in TAXI
cab, where his injuries are being treated,
It is said that Mr. Coudon with his seven.
year old daughter was about to board an
elevator on the fifth floor. Just as he
was about to enter the car friend alight-
ed from another elevator. and Mr. Cou-
don turned to greet him. The car started
up few inches, and Mr.. Coudon. fearing
that his little daughter was not yet in and
would be hurt. jumped forward to grasp
her and his foot slipped between the
elevator and the flooring. The elevator
boy meanwhile had reversed the lever and
the elevator came down on Mr. Coudon's
foot.
Mr.. Coudon is an athlete of world fame
For years he held the championship belt
of the hammer throwers, but relinquished
it some years ago. and retired from
athletics. About four years ago. when
Sullivan, the famous New York athlete,
broke the worlds record for hammer
throwing at the Olympic games, there
was talk of Mr.. Coudon coming back"
and engaging in match with Sullivan.
Mr.. Coudon's family, however. persuaded
him not to enter the contest. Mr.. coudon
is now 81 years old

Samuel HambIeton's appointment
Sent To The Senate For Con
firmation This Week.

President Taft sent the appointment Of
Samuel Hambleton as postmaster at
Rising Sun to the senate for confirmation
on Wednesday, but no acton mas been
taken upon it yet by that body. Mr..
HambIeton's term expired last FEBRUARY
and his reappointment. along with sixty
Others, was sent to the senate for cons
frmation last spring shortly before adj
journment and all the appointments were
passed By, owing to the rush of other
business during the closing days of the
session.
Mr.. Hambleton has served as post
master at Rising Sun nearly II years, his
FIRST appointment being under Harrison
from 1888 to 1902 when he was succeeded
by ]. c. Hindman, Cleveland appointee.
He was again appointed by Mckinley in
February, 1900, and has held the Office
continually ever since.
The senate's action on Taft's appoint
.ment for four years longer at this time is
problematical. it being the general inn
preston however, that the appointments
will not be confirmed and the present In
cumbents will only hold Office until after.
Wilson is inaugurated next March. after
which time they will be succeeded by
democrats.
