The New London 1915 Calendar Out.

The New London 1915 Calendar Out.
We acknowledge the receipt Of a
copy of the New London calendar for
1915. It is a beauty. The business
men Of New London have for several
years adopted the idea of a joint cal
endar advertising their little city. In
stead of each individual business firm
spending a larger amount of money
for private calendars to be handed out
to their customers permiscuously they
have pooled their interests on the
proposition. Under the old system
most families would receive probably
as high as half dozen different cal
endars while some might not receive
any. Now it is arranged that every
home within the trading territory OF
the village is provided with one cal
endar with the joint compliments OF
the several firms providing the same

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF
Director BicknelI Urges Support o
Anti-Tuberculosis War During
Holiday Season.

Washington, D. c., Dec Z, 1914:
None Of the proceeds from the sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals which
are being sold widely throughout the
United States for the benefit of the
anti-tuberculosis movement will be
used for war relief purposes, accord
ing to a statement issued today, by
Earnest P. Bicknell, National Direc-
tor of the American Red Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: "The American
Red Cross is deeply. appreciative of
the sympathetic interest which has
inspired the suggestion from various
parts of the United States, that a GER

will increase this fund, we do not feel
justified in adopting any policy which
will tend to cripple the tuberculosis

mas Seals. The announcement that
a percentage of the Red Cross Seal
money would go to our war relief
fund might possibly increase the sale
but, in our opinion, the final results
would show distinct loss in that part
of the proceeds going for tuberculosis
work.
AT the present time there are over
one thousand anti-tuberculosis socie-
ties distributed over nearly every
state in the Union, and even in Vera
:! Cruz, the Canal Zone and far off
Hawaii, which are dependent almost
entirely upon the receipts from the
Red Cross Seal sale for their work
during the year 1915. The people of

annually kills 100000 people, and at
the present time is leaving a trail OF

Wrecked a Farm House.

Arthur Bey, who made a confession
several weeks ago to the post Office
inspector that he had done some dam
age to Axel Granath's rural mail box
and paid fine therefore, appears to
have been too explicit in his confess
sion and mentioned details that have
gotten him into more trouble. Bey
was one Of the two young men that
were accused of wrecking rural mail
box belonging to Axel Granath. On
the same night that the box was de-
stroyed an unused house on Granath's
land was badly damaged. All win
dow glass was broken, doors torn from
hinges and other acts of vandalism
were committed In his confession re.
garding the mail box Bey mentioned
the damaging of the house also. AS a
result of this confession Granath de-
mands that he be paid for the damage
done to his house. Bey is said to have
skipped the country and a warrant
will probably be issued for his arrest

How to Use Christmas Seals.

The war is having it's effect on the
use of the seals this year and users
of the seals are cautioned against
their lntliscriminating use on foreign
mail. Mail address to any Of the bel
liserent countries should not bear the
seals at all. In normal times the seals
may be used on the reverse side of
mail sent to Austria, Great Britain,
Germany and most of the British Col
onies, except Indian and Australia.
Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal re-
fuse to admit mail bearing non-post-
age stamps. Certain European coun-
tries will return to the sender any
mail bearing Red Cross seals on the
address side.

cording to the official instruction of
the post office department ''be at.

Reasons Why Birds Should be
Fed in Winter.
Winter is here with its cold and

furnish them with food and shelter
whenever possible to do so.
In Minnesota the following common

What food to provide: Suet and
pork rinds tied to the branches of
trees is good food for some birds,
while grain, nuts, seeds, sweepings
from barns and corn cribs, scraps of
meat, bread crumbs, etc., are good for
all the birds. A little grain distrib'

save large numbers of quail from
death by starvation.
