Sale Of Red Cross Seals 1916.

The Gardiner Red Cross Chapter
wishes once more to thank the citizens
of Gardiner for their splendid support
in the sale of Red Cross Seals for 1916.
1t is happy to record the second
largest sale in it's history, the number
sold amounting to 27,042. In 1914 this
number was exceeded by 161. The
sale of 1916 has exceeded the sale of
1915 By 2103. We hope that Gardiner
may again lead the State in the larg-
est sale of seal per capita.
The school children have given as
usual very valuable assistance. Too
much canot be said in praise of their
efforts.
The High school pupils increased the
last years sale by almost a thousand.
The two largest sellers in the High
school were Ellis Maxcy who led with
$50 and Barbara Hermon who was a
close second with 563 seals sold. The
total number of seals sold in the
High school was sos.
The Centre St. Grammar sold 1900.
Esther Wiltshire led with the sale of
200 seals. The Highland avenue school
sold 230.
The Red Cross Chapter thanks
heartily all in the community who
have helped in this good work. The
chapter is enabled through the efforts
of those who have sold and those who
bought to place in it's treasury a sub
stantial sum. The money so secured
is to be used as always for the good
of tuberculosis sufferers in Gardiner.
Any such are urged to communicate
with the chairman of the Gardiner
chapter.
This report of the sale of the 1916
Red Cross seals would be incomplete
did it not mention with praise the eff
ficient work of our agent Miss Ethel
Anne to whom much credit should be
given for the success of the sale.

Hart Rides Well and Fights Hard in

! PERHAPS the raost unusual stunt this
notable actor performs during the &C
! ton of this play is that Of picking up
a handkerchief from the ground while
! astride the back u 4 horse The scene
is not padding --i. y. il was not made
simply for the purpose Of giving Hart
chance to play to the CALLER" but
it is actually ma teriai TO the story, for
it serves to establish tie admiration
and gallantry Whihc he, az q reformed
bandit, shows toward the sirl that has
come into his life. Hart, it is said,
did NOT even rehearsc the stunt, SO
adept is he nj feats of this nature, but
merely rode up to the camera, where
Margery Wilson, who plays the girl,
was standing-aEd recovered the hand
kerchief.
Another thrill in the picture is that
of q hand-to-hand encounter staged be
tween ". S. Hart and Leo Willis, one
of Inceyille'S strongest men. These
two men have fought many battles for
the screen since Incc began making
Hart plays, but this. il is said, is by
