SCHOOL CHILDREN SELL
RED CROSS SEALS

An appeal is made to the pub
lie to help the children win med
ais for the sale of Xmas seals.
The public school children have
been given Red Cross seals in
lots and these are on sale now.
This is a great humane move
ment of national proportions.
The campaign is sanctioned by
the United States government and
is being waged in every COM

continue to respond literally and
keep up the good reputation it
has established for itself during
the last year for doing its fair

Under the heading of national

19,375,OOO acres are withdrawn

100000 acres are found in the

Since the State of Idaho contains
