RED CROSS SEALS
! ARE HEALTH AGENTS

The Red Cross Seal-as millions OF
Americans know it to day, is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t was orig
7 mated in 1907 by Miss Emily p. Bissell.
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Amerl-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in
limited number of communities in
1908. The sale yielded a revenue Of
approximately $4,000. The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
wear and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached 1SO,OOO,000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December l. More
than half a billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds" in denOmna-
lions ranging from $500 to $4,000
are to be sold in lieu of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity of mail In
December to make use of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
CARNATIONS call for more than $0,500,-
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
tional campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its 1000 affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents a practical demonstration
of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts of the highest standing In sales
management have co-operated to the
extent of assuring those interested
that every resident of the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals.

good, until the last few Sundays, and /
have been encouraged. But we should
remember that it is not all to our ere
dit. People of other churches have
been helping in the attendance, for
which we are very grateful; and we
hope they will continue to come when
they have no service of their own.
Are you people who should attend the
Federated church doing your best to
be there every Sunday9 Are you as
earnest about it as you ought to be9
If everybody did as you do, would we
have full church twice every Sunday ?
Would the religious life and interest of
the community be what it ought to be9

TRAVEL ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE

AT present roads, trails and bridges
are in a sad state of disrepair, making
travel over them on foot or by horse
back impossible. One of the impor-
tant undertakings of the forest ser
vice, now that the tract has been added
to adjoining national forests, will be to
supply the area with improved lines of
travel
A large and important watershed is
included in this area, which is esti-
mated to supply at least 1000 second
feet of water to the Columbia river at
low water periods. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that more than 100000 horse
power cOuud be generated from waters
rising in the area. The region includes
no natural wonders, large lakes or
features of special scenic interest.
Deer and trout are plentiful, and there
are said to be a few wild sheep and
goats.
