Norway. He published an article In
the Outlook about this queer looking
stamp and suggested some use for 1t in
this country. Miss Bissell at once saw
an opportunity here and prepared a
stamp from the sale of which her So
ciety realized $4,000 for tuberculosis
work. She was 81 impressed that she
succeeded in getting the American
Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908
on a national basis and in 1909 the
sale was s23O.00O. in 1912, $500, 900.
Few people have. any idea Of the work
OF the Red Cross Seal campaign. This
year Over 100, 900 900 seals have been
printed and distributed. If placed end
to end these seals would extend nearly
2,400 miles or practically from New
York to Salt Lake City. They have
been sen to over $4,000 agents and
will be sold and handled by an army
of not less than 100, 900 volunteers in
Guiding men. women and children and
will be doubtful If many people of the
populous states Of the country have
not heard Of the Red Cross Seal aud
its mission.
The principle upon which the sale
Of seals Is based is that every cent,
except what a little is needed to cover
actual cost Of printing and advertising
shall be spent for tuberculosis work in
the community where the seals are
sold. Last year the sale of these seals
helped to support thousands of needy
tuberculosis patients and give them a
chance for their life. They helped pro-
vide thousands Of nurses. They help
ed maintain dispensaries in scores of
cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coasts where thousands Of consump-
tive patients received free treatment,
aid and advice. They have established
and helped to maintain more than $50
open air schools for children who need
ed open air treatment. The Red Cross
Christmas seals are the best invest
ment in health anyone can make.
Science has demonstrated that tuber-
culosis is the worlds greatest plague
and we now have over 1000, 900 cases
in the U. S. alone and yet it can be
prevented if consumptives are properly
cared for. In other words every con-
sumptive properly cared for insures
your life and the life of your family
against the disease by infection. Every
seal you buy helps this good work of
prevention. This Is the first year
they have been on sale generally in
South Dakota and the commission has
100, 900 to sell. Will you not buy some
and do your share toward the good
work? Every cent from the sale in
our state is kept here to carry on the
work, except ten per cent which goes
to the national association for print
ing and advertising. 1t is purely a
work Of charity and no commission
paid any one. People for their own
sake should be awake to the good of
this work and help push it along.
Your Christmas letter or package
will look nicer If it has one of these
seals on it and it shows your friends
that you are a helper. Buy your seals
early before the supply is gone. These
stamps are on sale at the drug stores
and banks in Brookings.

MORE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES

The New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad has recently ordered
six additional electric locomotives, the
most powerful of their type in the
world. The new machines are similar
to those ordered earlier in the year,
being of the same type and construc-
ton. They are somewhat heavier,
weighing 10 tons, and due to recent
advancement in locomotive design
have materially increased capacity for
continuous service.
The growth in traffic and the cores
ponding increase in the demand for
larger and heavier train units since
the introduction of electric locomo-
tives in the New York Central termin-
Il has been notable. In 1906 thirty
FIVE 600 volt, direct current, passenger
electric locomotives were built. These
machines are of the 115-ton type and
are each equipped with four bipoiar
gearless motors. Twelve more engines
of the same type mere placed in ser.
vice in 1908. All these locomotives
we're designed with sufficient tractive
effort to operate 535-ton gross weight
trains at so miles per hour in the regu-
lar terminal service.
The ten 10O-ton electric locomotives
ordered the fore part of this year are
each equipped with eight bipolar, gear
less motors. all the weight of the ma
chine being carried on the motor
driven axles. These engines are de-
signed for pulling the heavy limited
trains and will exert suficient tractive
effort to operate S00-ton train in CON.

Central TERMINAL station and Harmon.
They r capable of operating q 1000
ton train In emergency service or a
train Of the same weight on level tang
emit track continuously, at SO miles per
hour. or an S00-ton train at SIS miles
per hour.
But the weight OF the trains which
are being hauled out of the terminal
ID ever increasing steadily. and some
OF the more important trains now
weigh over 1000 tons. It has therefore
been deemed desirable to have engines

RED CROSS AND WHAT IT DOES

Many people are asking how the Red
Cross Seal originated and what 1t 10
used for and We herewith give some
authentic information. The seal or
stamp was first used In Norway and
Sweden in 1904 in an anti-tuberculosis
crusade. To Jack Riis. the well known
social worker Of New York. and to
Miss Emily r. Bissell the energetic
secretary Of the Delaware Red Cross.
Jointly belong the honor Of originating
our American Red Cross Christmas
Seal. In 1907 Mr.. Riis' interest was
aroused BY the receipt Of ! Christmas

are almost invariably adopted. Par
entail instinct, unless 1t be crushed by
selfish motives, will assert itself to
the greater benefit of the child. The
act of adoption Is not a matter to be
passed up lightly, when n considers
all it involves. Not only does it In
yolye the future destiny of the child,
but also that of the family name and
history besides the property accumu-
lated.
1T means giving the child adopted
voluntary, all that a father and mother
can give, name, property, and such
sacrifices as only parents are willing
to undergo. 1t is therefore a most COM
mendable thing to do. Not one word
of regret has ever reached us from
those who have legally adopted our
children. On the contrary, their let
ters are usually full OF praise for the
child and gratitude toward the home
for having given them the source of
their greatest Joy. Is 1t not after all
just about what our Heavenly Father
does, when he receives as a joint heir
to all the glories of His realm the out
cast sinner? To a large number OF

verSary Of the invention OF the Arme-
Man alphabet and the 10th anniver-
sary of the printing of the first book

brated. The celebration of this double

hundreds OF boys and men paraded

Mashdots, who lived in the latter part
OF the fourth and the beginning of the
fifth centuries, is regarded as the dis
coverer of the Armenian alphabet,
though probably some letters may
have been used before his day. and
certainly some were added later. The
Armenian alphabet has SO characters
and words are pF<> just as they
are spelled. Both the Armenians and
the Greeks in this country use their
respective alphabets to write and print
not only their own, but also the Tur-
kish language, and thus not only graf
