GARDINER LEADS IN SALE
OF RED CROSS STAMPS

For the second time since the now IA
miliar Red Cross stamps were put on the
market. Gardiner heads the list of sales
per capita of the cities and towns of the
State, the other time being in 1915. The
first prize of $40 offered by the Maine
Anti-Tuberculosis Association comes to
Gardiner. The result is very gratifying
TO the Red Cross organization here and
its friends.
BY request we quote from the report o.
the Anti-Tuberculosis Associations latest
report just issued: While the sale did
not reach the proportions hoped for by
the State secretary, an advance of prac-
tica1ly II per cent. was made over the
previous year, with an increase of 81 per
cent. in the net balance to the State As
sociation This increase to the State AS
sociation treasury is due to the increase
of As per cent. in the mail canvass from
State headquarters.
