LARGEST SALE RED CROSS
SEALS IN GARDINER

The Gardiner Red Cross CHAPTER an
nounces with pleasure the result OF the
Red Cross seal sale for 1914 in this city
The number of seals sold amounts to o.
203 an increase of 3400 over the largest
sale held in Gardiner three years ago.
II may be interesting to mnay to COM
pare the present years sale with that
Of the first campaig in 1910 when 4ov,
seals were sold.
One Of the most important factors in
the increased sale is the help of the pu-
pills in the High and Grammar schools
The largest number OF seals, We feel as
sured. may be obtained through this
source in every locality. The Red Cross
wishes to express great appreciation of
the interest and help evinced and given
by all III this most successful seal cam
paign Of 1914
1t may not be out of place to state
once more that with the exception of %
per cent. of the proceeds from the sale
Of seals and the cost Of a paid helper
here, the entire sum is to be used for
tuberculosis work in this city. The 20
per cent. goes TO the Maine Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association for educative tuberculo-
sis work throughout the State. We
therefore reap the benefit OF part Of this
also.
The High school pupils sold 1856 seas
The pupil selling the largest number-1I5
was Miss Laura Woman. and close
second was found in Miss Barbara Har-
mon. 100 both pupils of the High school.
The Central street school sold 1868. The
largest seller in this school was Charles
Landerkin, who sold 20 seals.
At Highland avenue school 1888 were
sold. Frank Cover sold 625, the largest
sale made by one pupil in the Grammar
schools. There were sold in the factories
