RED CROSS SEALS.

again Joined hands with the crusad-

Office in the country has been thrown
open to the volunteers who are SELL
ing the Red Cross Seals. Permission
has been granted for the erection
of booths, and in many of the small
er towns, the postmasters themselves
are helping swell the proceeds of the
sale by encouraging 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 The Making
of an American" received a letter
from Norway with the Christmas
stamp upon it. He wrote an article
in the Outlook" describing this
curious stamp and suggested how it
might be used in this country. Miss
Emily P. Bissell, Secretary OF the
Delaware Red Cross, at once saw the
opportunity and realized Three

BADGERS to Have Fast Crew.

Wisconsin hopes to have DeIJer sue
cess at Poughkeepsie, n. Y, next
summer than was the case at the last
intercollegiate boat races. Early re-
ports from the Badgers camp show
bright crew prospects. Indications
point TO one of the largest squads of
candidates for positions in the varsity
boat in years. Coach Harry Vail is
most enthusiastic, not only because
of the large squads out, but because
the men look like good crew timber.
Such was not the case this year. All
season he worried. His candidates
were few, and he had to do some tall
thinking before he was able to gather
together a presentable crew.
Wisconsin is after winning crew,
and to further this purpose number
of new machines have been ordered.
These will be installed and used dur
ing the winter months and will greatly
improve training conditions. Fall
practice is now on for the Badgers,
and this will continue until the ice
forms on Lake Mendoza. Vail has his
men out on the lake every afternoon
and plans to pick his varsity men be-
fore the spring.

SURFACE SOUNDS WARNING On
SOIL
Zoologist Paints Out the Manner in
Which We Lose VaIues-Makes
Food Dear.

Pennsylvania needs just as much
| conservation thought and energy de-
voted to its soil as to its water sup
| ply in the opinion of Dr. II. A. Sur
| face, the State Zoologist, who is a
member of the State Conservation
Association and one OF the leadins
| economic authorities in this section.
In fact, IL as much work could be
bestowed upon soil conservation as
on some other lines the cost of liv-
ing might be cut down to a certain
extent. Waste of soil and neglect
to take care of it is causing deterior-
alton of soil to an extent that few
people realize and it would be wise
for all conservation, agricultural, ad-
vancement of resources and other
associations to get together on a
program which would include some
thing defined for the Improvement of
the naturally fertile soil of the state.
DR.. Surface is the third State Off
cial to take up this subject in the
last few weeks. John L. Rockey,
chief OF the bureau of Industrial sta
tistics, is urging an appropriation
for soil surveys by counties, and A.
l.. Martin, director OF institutes, is
having the subject brought to atten-
IlOu Oh FARMERS at euuCdtlOndI gain
erings.
DR.. Surface sounds an alarming
note in an interview here. Soil fer
tility he points out can not last for
ever and something must be done.
He says:
" Soil fertility is actually becom-
ing depleted in this State, depleted so
much that yield of farm crops is be-
coming alarmingly and seriously re-
duced. Many diseases of plants, once
carried into the soil by diseased seed
or otherwise, remain in the soil for
several years. Neither of these facts
seems to be generally known, even
among agriculturalists, but this ig-
norance OF the situation does not al
ter conditions. The area of soil
which we may call pure or uncon-
taminated is being reduced each
year, and reduced appreciably, while
the area of contaminated soil is in
creasing to just as great an extent.
These two factors aid immeasureably
in reducing the yield of farm crops.
The decrease is in such degree that
the cost of living is directly affected
thereby"

Thousand Dollars for tuberculosis
work. SO 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 organization and
with hardly any attempt at careful
advertising, the sale that year
brought in, nevertheless, over 1885,
900 for anti-tuberculoss work in
various parts of the United States. In
1903, with more thorough organiza-
ION, the sale was increased to $780,
600, and in 1910 to nearly 100000.
Last year the sale increased to over
$33O.O0O or $4,000 seals.
While our own Red Cross Seal
dates back only four years, Charity
Stamps" from which this idea ori-
sinally sprung, go back to 1862,
when sanitary fair stamps" were
first used in Boston to secure money
for the care OF soldiers wounded
during the Civil war. Nearly ST.
100000 was raised in this way dur
ing the years 1862 to 1865. After
the war this method of raising mon
ey was discontinued in this country
for a generation, although it found
vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Aus
tria, France, Spain, Denmark, Nor
way, Russia, Sweden and other
European countries. There are now
hundreds of different types OF
charity stamps used in all parts of
the world, as many as forty being
used in Austria for childrens hospi-
tails alone.
