STAMPS WILL BE ON SALE AT
LOCAL STORES THURS
DAY, DEC. 10TH.

The local Anti-Tuberculosis League
are planning to place on sale on
Thursday, December the 10th, 10000
little Christmas sttckers. It is de-
sired by the local society that these
little seals will be purchased In large
Quantities as the proceeds will be de-
voted to the needs of the Red Cross
society, which organization at this
time is sorely pressed to meet the
many demands of the organization.
The European war is making inroads
on the funds of the society and we
the favored nation which Is at peace
with the world, must extend helping
hand to the sufferers in these coun-
tries THROUGH the Red Cross society.
These stamps will be placed in the
postoffice and the stores Of the city
and it is hoped the sale will be large.
Put seal or several seals on each OF
your Christmas packages and help
that much to relieve suffering among
those less fortunate than ourselves.
Think what it would mean If every
Christmas package in the United
States, bore even one Of these little
stickers.
The seals as above shown are dain'
ty and attractive and will add no lit.
Tie to the appearance of the Christ
mas package.

ALL.sTAR ELEVENs NOTHING
BUT 5osH SAYS COACH stage

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-No man is quail
flied to select an all-star football team,
Alonzo A. stagg, athletic director Mt
the University OF Chicago, asserted to-
day in an article in the University
daily. Stage declared it was difficult
for a coach to choose the best men for
his own team, let alone the best play
ers on other teams.
'All coaches who have had much
experience know that it is only by
close watching of their candidates
through days of practice that they can
determine who are best for different
positions Stage wrote. ITO concedc
that 1t is possible for any outsider to
be able to do justice in the selection
Of an all.star team, even after seeing
all the teams in action throughout the
season, is preposteroua.
.The nearest approach to Justice
that couldtbe done would be to invite
experts of each univ ersity to send II II
their indiyi dua1S aelec ions and to make
u comp sitejof the play ers 80 named:
