indications the Red Cross Christmas

twenty seals per capita in the city.
The first efw hours seal sale in

seals. and several other cities re re-
porting similar success.
In Jefferson. $1,000 seals were sold
during the first few hours. Every
store, both newspapers. every bank.
dairy, bakery, laundry and garage
placed seals upon everything sent out
for two days.
Sioux City Is making q particularly
strong campaign, and hopes to lead the
state in number Of stickers disposed OF.
Dubuque, Council Bluffs. Davenport.
Des Moines, Mason City and Waterloo
are going strong.
Every school child in the state who
sells 200 or more seals will receive a

and competition is keen.
