Health Seal Sale
Meeting Enthusiastic
Response in Augusta

The 1925 Christmas Health Seals
were disposed of at the rate of 100 per
minute at the official opening of the
sale for this year, it was announced
at local campaign headquarters Mon
day evening. On Saturday 100000
Health Seals were sent out in the
mails to a selected list and up to the
hour of closing the office Monday aft
ernoon the sales had totaled 25,7S5.
In 1925 the quota for Augusta was
placed at $1,000 and when the final re-
turn were all in this city had gone
over the top for total of s1602. 1t is
hoped by the volunteer workers and
the committee that this amount will
be surpassed this year, and the en-
thusiastic demand for the CHEEKY little
seals, which bear the important mes
sage of health, indicates that the peo-
pie are doing their part to bring such
a realization.
Some interesting figures were given
cut at local Health Seal headquarters
Monday. The sale this year marks the
Goth anniversary of the Christmas
seal In 1907 the nationwide sale
amounted to $4,000. Las year total
of S4,900,000 was received from the
sale and use of Christmas packages

Says Consumers
Being Mulcted in
Price of Potatoes

Boston, Apr. 17.-tP)-Consumers
are>suffering from unjust and ex-
cessive prices rather from an actual
shortage in the supply of potatoes, -
in the opinion of the Massachusetts
special commission on the necessa
ries of life. In a finding announced
by Chairman Eugene c. Huffman
today after an investigation into the
recent rapid rise of potato prices,
it was reported that 100 carloads
more of potatoes have been shipped
into Boston this year to date than
last year.
The commission reported that at
present "a surplus rather than a
shortage in supply is threatened in
Massachusetts, A comparison of
retail prices shows, the report sets
forth, that potatoes sold last year
from % cents to 40 cents a peck, and
the price in April, 1925, was about
% cents peck. From a September
price of 45 cents a peck this season
the price has jumped to about S1.15
q peck, 1t is shown, and the COM
mission concludes that "there is no
relation between the cost of produce
