HOW RED CROSS SEAL
IDEA CAME INTO BEING
Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.

Originating In Norway, Method Was
Taken Up Here Nine Years Ago.
Over $3,25O, 900 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
eight years, and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Crsss Seals really date
back to the Civil War when Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first cam.
paign to sell holiday stickers for the
tuberculosis fight was only nine years
ago in Delaware. Miss Emily P. Bis
sell of Wilmington, read an article by
Jacob Riis describing stamps used for
tuberculosis work in Norway, and she
conceived the idea of similar plan
here. Single handed, she launched a
sale which resulted in $4,000 clear
money. When Miss Bissell tried to
convince the American Red Cross that
this idea should be made national as a
peace activity of that society, she met
with opposition, but finally persuaded
the authorities, with the result that on
an investment Of a few hundred dol
lars $4,000 worth of Seals was sold
in 1908 and the great national cam
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
is an institution in the United States,
and offers to every one a chance, to
help in the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 49,
100000 Seals were sold, and this year
the American Red Cross and The Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, who con.
duct the sale, are out for 10O,OOO,OOO
sale or $1,0OO,OOO for the tuberculosis
War.
The policy on which the sale is con.
Quoted is that the money, except for
the deduction of legitimate expenses,
shall remain in the community where
the Seals are sold

She Was Taught How to Care for Her
self After Her Mother Had Died.
"She was real pretty, and so full OF
fun that the dimples were always
showing in her round, red cheeks"
The visiting nurse of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society was talking. Her
eyes were big and brown and nut-col-
ored hair curled naturally In little
ringlets over her forehead and ears.
She was just eighteen when we first
met her and so neat and attractive
that one would think she belonged to
the Tell-to-do class Of working people,
but when we followed her to her home
one day we confronted startling facts.
"The red in her. checks was the flush
Of unnatural inward fever, the high
spirits were pitiful antidote to pitt
less conditions, and the big brown
eyes saw only sQualor when they were
not fixed upon typswriting machine
or closed persistently to any view but
an imaginary bright one.
The room we entered was a gen.
eral living space, used also as an eat
ing, cooking and sleeping apartment.
There was but one bed and Betty
had to sleep in 1t with her mother,
who was too weak to sit up. An open
cuspidor sat where 1t would be con-
veniently near the bed, which placed
1t by the stove where their food was
cooked. The mother, who was suffer
ing in an advanced stage of tuber-
culosis, did not like cold air, and her
querulous demands caused Betty to
keep the door and windows closed.
"'Well,' said cheerful Betty, with
laugh, that isn't SO bad as not hav-
ing any windows or doors to close, is

Infinitely worse" said l. You

The boil weevil hit some counties il

was gathered that only about one-third
of the grain crop has been moved, and
it was urged not only that the inspec-
tion be maintained, but that a branch
office be established at Pendleton es-
pecially at this time when the grain is
finding its market in the east.
One Pendleton delegate stated that
inspection had been of immense benefit
to the farmer, educating him to the
necessity of delivering clean grain.
Since the inspection began q general
cleaning of the wheat at Pendleton has
been the rule. At one warehouse it was
found that ton of waste matter, weed
seeds and such was taken from each
car load cleaned. This was a saving of
freight and direct benefit to the grow
er. There was q consensus of opinion
that the department should be maintain
cd at all hazards, as the business could
not be conducted without it, and that
If the state failed to do the work the
chamber of commerce or some private
company would have to take the matter
in charge.

EMERGENCY BOARD
AND GRAIN INSPECTION
Deficiency Of $4,000 Will Be
Allowed In Order to Con-
tinue Work

A meeting Of the Emergency Board
was called for 1880 this morning but
was postponed until O'Clock this af-
ternoon because of lack of quorum.
Five are required to transact business
and of the seven Speaker Stanfield
Representative Kubli and Senator Wood
failed to show up. A wire to Kubli was
answered saying he woud be up this
afternoon. As there was large dele
cation from Portland and eastern Ore
gon desiring to present their views and
also desiring to go home, prelimin-
airy meeting, as it was called by the
governor, was held. The object Of the
session was to take action on the re-
quest Of the Public Service Commission
to be allowed to create deficiency Of
$4,000 for the purpose of maintaining
the grain inspection service Of which
il has full charge.
There was several grain growers from
eastern Oregon as well as dealers from
Portland and representatives of the
Portland chamber Of commerce and
some strong arguments were presented
showing the necessity Of maintaining
this department.

work at Portland made a statement
showing what had been done and that
there had been considerable expense in
CURED in establishing headquarters
getting supplies and in getting in touch
with grain growers and dealers, which
expense will not be repeated. The sum
of $500 had been set aside for this
department where $4,000 had been sug
gested. The instituting of this state in
spection had already shown splendid re
suits. Portland had received this year
above 1000 cars more of grain thar
Seattle and much more than Tacoma
though last year the reverse Of this
was the case.
Mr.. Jeffries of the federal bureau
pointed out that all grain shipped in
ferstate must be inspected, and this ac
cording to government standards. 1
was better for the state TO do this than
to have it done by anyone whom thu
growers might suspect Of being unfair

Tiger" Of France Accepts
Commission to Assume
Post Of Premier

Paris, Nov. l5.--Georges Clemenceau
the "tiger'', as he is known in French
politics, late today accepted the post
of premier of France and began his
choice of cabinet to succeed the min
istry headed by Painleve.
Clemenceau is former premier. Ever
since Painleve's failure to keep in pow
er, Clemenceau has been gnerally pick
ed for the job. He is known as one
of the most energetic of all French
statesmen and is generally regarded as
the ideal man to take stern measures in
the Bolo Pasha and other French poll
teal and domestic scandals.
Clemenceau has visited in the Unit
ed States and one regiment of United
States troops now in France has the
honor Of bearing his name-a distine-
tion specially granted by Major General
Sibert.
