WHAT THREE CENTS DID.
Red Cross Christmas Seals Now OF,
Sale at Ben Bears

The Ben Bear Clothing Store yes
terday received their annual supply
of Red Cross Christmas Seals, and
they are now on sale at the store.
Mr.. Bear disposes of a large number
each year and the money goes for a
very worthy cause. The following
story tells of what three cents did:
"A little boy, about six years old.
rushed into a store and asked if they
kept those stamps that had the pic
ture of Santa Claus on. The clerk
said: Eyes, my boy, we do; how
many would you like to have?" The
little boy looked earnestly into the
clerks face and asked: "How much
are they?' The clerk answered that
they were only cent apiece. The
child looked joy'fully around and
said, II heard my mother talking
about how the money was TO help the
poor sick people that had cousump-
tion. I've only got three cents, but
l wanted to help them by buying
stamps"
He received his three Red Cross
Seals and left the store, proud to
think he had perhaps helped some
boys father VINO had that terrible
disease"
