Government postal officials are get
ting ready for the Christmas and holt

shack stamping" of mail matter

The late cold snap has started the
wild honkers from further lingering
in the wild rice fields in the north,
and they are now on their trip to the
far southland. The hardness of this
feathered tribe in migrating at this
late date this year, is predicted, by
the weather wise, that this will be
one of the mildest winters in years.
I If so this will be sad for the loggers
who are already fully prepared 60
carry on their yearly stunts in the
woods. However, they will see their
way clear all right later in the season
or we miss our guess, as a weather
prognostigator.
That the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals is certain to be much larger
in the villages and rural schools this
year than ever before, is the state
ment given out from the headquar-
tiers Of the Wisconsin Anti-Tubercu-
losis association. 1t is impos-
sible, however, to predict the result
of the sale as a whole. From the
newspaper accounts and other indi-
cations, which have come in, more la
terest is being taken everywhere.
Over two hundred small, unincor-
porated villages that have never had
a campaign have managers this year.
Requests for seals are coming ia to
the state headquarters direct from
farmers, and the rural school orders
have been much heavier thus far than
ever before.
