Red Seal Sale Starts Monday.

Sale Of the little red cross Christ
mas seals will be launched Monday
morning by the Red Cross commit
tee in charge of the sale. Due to
the fact that the schools were closed
part of last week and the teachers
out Of the city the sale was not
started then. as was first planned.
The pastors Of the county have been
given circulars and publicity on the
campaign and the work Of the red
cross and have promised support
and action next Sunday by bringing
the notices before the people.
simultaneously next Sunday night
posters and advertisements for the
seals will be put up all over the
county so that every citizen in the
county will read them Monday.
The quota for the county is
$500, By going over the top in
this campaign the county will! merit
the service of red cross nurse for
a longer period Of time. This in
Itself is very great reason for
large sea- sale. as the nurse is do
ing and can do much work in the
county. Also the fact that the
nurse is here during the sale will
en.itle the county to a large percent
of the quota which will be spent
right in the county. This will
mean that money you give will be
spent to improve conditions in your
own county. So when the little
girl or boy or some man or woman
comes knocking at your door next
week and asks you if you want to
buy some Christmas seals. buy
enough to put on every letter you
expect to write between now and
then and then double that and write
enough letters to use up the stamps.
Buy Red Cross Seals and save
life.
