RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES
440,000,000 Holiday Suckers Already
Distributed in United States.

The biggest drive in the history
of the Red Cross Christmas Seal
movement is being made this year
Already 440,000,000 of the little
Christmas stickers have been printed
and distributed throughout the United
States.
Agents in every state and terri
tory in the Union from Alaska to the
Canal Zone and from Porto Rico and
Hawaii and even in the far off
Philippines have been making de-
mands for the stamps. Through these
agents the seals. will be distributed
to the local and state anti-tuberculo-
sis associations and to other agencies
through which they will be put on
sale.
Every effort is being made to
stimulate the sale of the seals this
year so the $3,000,000 fund which is
the objective will be realized. The
country's entry into the war and the
consequent revelation of the preva-
lence of tuberculosis and the danger
in which the disease has placed our
army has added incentive to the
compaign.
Every man, woman and child is
being asked to triple the amount of
their Red Cross Seal purchases this
year. If they bought a hundred
seals last year, they are being asked
to buy three hundred this year, as
the annual fund to be raised must
be increased from the 1916 total of
81 100000 to S3,000,000.
Advertising circulars, post cards
and letters are being sent out to aid
in the sale of seals. Upwards of
100000 personal letters have been
written, and an army of fully 100000
workers, most of them volunteers
are busy booming the campaign.
Few people who buy the little mes
sages of Christmas cheer realize that
more than 1000 anti-tuberculosis as
sociations of the country derive their
chief support from Red Cross Christ
mas Seals.
In the business district of Boomers
Ferry Saturday some $55 worth of
seals were sold by Mrs. H. ]. Mccoy
and Mrs. F. A. Shultis. Mrs. Mccoy
is in charge of the sale of Red Cross
Seals in this district and was first
to take up the work some three years
ago.

CAMP ALIGN FOR
new MEMBERS

Reports from the various Red Cross
divisions of the country indicate a
tremendous interest in the Christmas
membership drive to add ten million
names to the roster of the American
Red Cross. In advance OF the time
for starting the drive, which is to
begin December II and end on Christ
mas eve, there are signs of spirited
rivalry on the part of the member
ship boomers who are organizing
in the respective divisions. Every
drive committee seems desirious not
only of "going over the top" for more
new members than its apportioned
quota of the Christmas membership,
but of winning the distinction of
first place for its particular territor-
ial part of the organization.
Theodore n. Vail, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, who has accepted the
Craftsmanship of the Red Cross
Christmas Membership committee, ex-
emplifies the spirit of the drive in
expressing the hope that his sub
scription, which he has sent in in adj
vance, may be first on the honor
list. In enclosing his subscription
to Admiral S. A. Staunton, Chairman
of the District of Columbia Chapter,
Mr.. Vail wrote:
even fifteen million must start
with one and l hope my one will
be the first subscription to the Christ
mas membership of the Red Cross"
Since May LIST, following the es-
tablishment of the American Red
Cross on a war footing, the member
ship has increased from less than
100000 to more than 100000. The
success of the Christmas drive, there
fore, means an organized army OF
100000 to carry forward the i'm
portant Red, Cross auxiliary work
IN the winning of the war by force
of arms.

SUBSCRIPTION
TO BE $500

Beginning January /, 1918, the sub
scription price of the Boomers Ferry
Herald will be changed from $3.50 to
$500 per year. Subscribers of the
Herald are urged to look up their
receipts at once and pay their sub
scriptions a year in advance before
the first of the year, for by so doing
they will save so cents.
In all parts of the United States
the daily ard weekly newspapers are
raising their prices-some are sus-
pending publication. The raise in
price is absolutely necessary because
of the increase in postage rates, the
continued high cost of paper and the
many increased costs of doing bust
ness.
The Herald has just arranged for a
magazine clubbing offer which will
undoubtedly interest many subscri-
beers as it provides a wide selection
OF reading matter at greatly reduced
prices. Until January LIST, 1918, the
following combinations may be made:
The Herald, McCall's Magazine and
Today's Housewife, regular price
$500, club price, 1925; The Herald
Woman's World and Farm and Fire
side, regular price, $225, club price
$1.8S; The Herald, Woman's World

ASK LADIES
TO REGISTER
VIGILANCE CORPS WANTED BY
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
IN EVERY TOWN
RURAL TEACHERS WILL SERVE
Claims Several Million Alien Enemies
In America.

The national campaign for the
registration of women between the
ages of 16 and 60 began Monday and
lasts one week.
Mrs. F. e. Murray, chairman of the
registration in Boundary county, has
arranged to have the registration in
out-of-town districts done by the
teachers and in Bonners Ferry the
registration will take place at the
commercial club rooms on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday. The regis
tiers in charge will be Mrs. T. j.
Hollinger and Mrs. Belle Bishop and
they will be assisted by Mrs. o. H.
Campbell, Mrs. Barney Wooledge,
Mrs. Louis zimmerman and Mrs. A.
B. Wilson. Registration hours will
be from to and from z until
o'clock Wednesday afternoon and eve
ming and from 2 till 5 o'clock on
Thursday and Friday afternoon.
Women who have already register
ed through the Red Cross and women
who have signed Hoover pledge cards
are asking why they should register
again. The answer is-the Red cross
has carefully defined lines of service
1t cares for the wounded and sick
provides hospital equipment and sup
plies, furnishes necessities such as
knitted garments not furnished by
the government and generally super
vises military relief work.
This is only one department of the
war work women will be expected to
do Undoubtedly much clerical work
will be needed by the Red Cross but
more will be needed in other activi-
ties. Home charities, social welfare
work, outside training and concentra-
ton camps, re-educating disabled sol
diers, conservation propaganda are
among the more important activities
which the Red Cross does not at
tempt to cover.
Added to these are the increasing
demands for women to take the-places
of men who are with the national ar
my. Both forms of registration are
optional but that of the Council Of
National Defense is a census of the
woman power of the nation. Though
not. compulsory, the federal govern
ment has asked for and expects sucf
a census.
The registration card lists 1876 oc
equations for women; for some o.
these you will be fitted. If you d.
not know exactly how you can help
the nearest registrar will tell you
You can at least register for a GER
tain number of hours of work at thu

future war work. The women of GU

viable record thus far in all work at
