a sensation here and efforts have

RED CROSS SEAL
AND WHATIT DOES
HOW LITTLE RED AND GREEN
CHRISTMAS "STICkERS''
STARTED.

Many people are asking how the
Red Cross Seal originated aud what
1t is 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-tuber-
culosis crusade. To Jacob Riis the
we'll known social worker OF New
York and to Miss Emily p. Bissell the
energetic secretary of the Delaware
Red Cross. Jointly belong the honor
OF originating our American Red
Cytts Christmas Seal. In 1907 Mr..
Riss' interest was aroused by the re-
ceipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article in the Outlook
about the queer looking stamp aud
suggested some use for 1t in this
country. Miss Bissell at once saw an
opportunity here and prepared o
stamp for the sale of which her So
ciety realized $1,000 for tuberculosis
work. She was SO impressed that
succeeded in getting the American
Red Cross to take UP the sale in 1905
on q national basis and in 1899 the
sale was $23O.00O. in 1912, 100000.

the sum OF $4,000 for securing a

here to make estimates on the cost
OF such a plant, as it has been be
coming more IL more evident for
some time that osmething to add to
the water supply OF the town would
have to be done son. The artesian
wells, which have furnished water
here for a number of years, are grad

they may entirely give out. The idea
of the filtration plant is to utilize the
water of the Jim river. which prac-
tically runs through the town.

OTHER CITIES
WANT EXPERTS
WOULD FOLLOW EXAMPLE OF
MITCHELL IN FIGHTING HOG
CHOLERA WAR.

Numerous inquiries relative to the
big meeting to be held in Mitchell
on December 10, when experts will
address farmers and hog raisers on
the most practical methods of fight
ing hog cholera, are being received
daily by the Commercial club. From
the neighboring cities have come re-
quests for the services of the speak
ers.
One communication received yes
terday from Redfield, asked that ar
rangenfe1ts be made for a second
meeting to be held there on the day
Following The M in Mitchell. Bust
ness men of Plankinton have asked
that they be allowed the services OF
the experts. From Alexandria also
have come inquiries about the meet
ing. The indications are that many
residents of Alexandria and Hanson
county will be present.
The chief attraction of the meet
ing will be DIR. w. b. Niles, the chief
expert of the department Of agricu,-
ture on the subject of hog diseases.
Mr.. Niles, with Messrs. Dorsett and
Mcbride, was the discoverer of the
AOG NpA VI Ia = NOliolSCs
ed to be the greatest authority on
this subject. His advice to the farm
crs OF Dawson and the surrounding
counties will carry with it the highest
uthority.
DR.. G. c. Lipp, of the South Dakota
State College at Bookings, will be
another speaker. DIR. Lipp is thoro-
ughly acquainted with the conditions
surrounding the raising of hogs in
South Dakota and his advice, will be
of great practical value. A govern
mcnt veterinary also will be present
and speak.
The Mitchell meeting will be 'es-
pecially important in view OF the fact
that this will be the only place the
experts will speak in South Dakota
before January Z. THIS city is the
center OF the swine industry in the
state and their appearance here will
be timely. -.

Professor Hansen calls attention to
an article in the December LIST issue
of the Dakota Farmer written by as

he discusses his travels in the hign
dry lands OF western Kansas and Ne

streams and on much of the low
and valley lands we found good alfal-
ia in abundance, but for long dis
tances on the higher drier levels, il
was entirely absent. One farmer. a
Mr.. Abbott, who owns several large
farms, told us that while he grew
enormous quantities of alfalfa on
nearly all his low or bottom land, it
was so uncertain on high land with
hard sub-soils that on two of his
farms he had wholly abandoned try

Professor Hansen "of the general
