o ORIGIN OF THE RED 6
o CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL o
| <
o—v—O-0-O-0-o-o-o
Nine vears ago Miss Emily P. Bis
sell. of Wilmington. Delaware, a well
known social worker, conceived the
idea of the Red Cross Christmas
Seal. Miss Bissell knew from per
sonal experience that the only way
to fight tuberculosis was by means
of a popular campaign of education,
and she knew this could not be car
ried on without money.
She got the idea of raising this
money at Christmas time, when the
spirit of humanity is at its height,
from an article by Jacob Riis. in
which he described the stamps used
by the Norwegians in their fight
against the disease. If the Norwe
* gians could raise money in this way,
1 HARD “WEAR”
There’s only one kind of
Good Hardware
That’s the kind that stands
Hard Wear.
Our Hardware is the best that is made in every line
Iwe handle. There’s no guess work when you buy Hard
ware here. It always stands the hard knocks and
comes out ready for more service.
There’s a Reason-—
I WE KNOW GOOD HARDWARE WHEN WE SEE
IT, and are not afraid to spend good money for a good
article to sell the people who demand THE BEST.
When you wish to be sure there is
WEAR i n your Hardware,
come to the store that put the
“wear” in it.

Miss Bissell argued, why not the
Americans?
She consulted her friends, secured
all the publicity she could, and
launched the movement. It proved
to be a wonderful success, and thous
ands of Christmas parcels went out
bearing the gay little seals. People
were delighted with them. They ad
ded to the appearance of their gifts,
and they liked the idea of helping
a big cause in this unique way.
Bv Ch-istnias #:*. 0f<0 had been
raised. Miss Bissell was elated. She
saw a great future for the little seals
hut she had difficulty In making
others see it. She appealed to the
American Red Cross io take over
the venture, enlarge it and conduct
the sale on a vast scale. The Red
Cross authorities at first could not
see how they could make this a part
of their national program, but Miss
Bissell proved to them that fighting
tuberculosis by means of harmless
and attractive Christmas stamps was
worthy peace-time propaganda.
With some misgiving and at a
slight cost the Red Cross printed
the seals for the secopd year’s cam
paign. The result more than justi
fied Miss Bissell’s expectations, for
$135,000 worth of seals were sold In
1908. The Christmas seal became a
national Institution. The manage
ment of the sale was turned over to
the National Association for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis
and each year since then sales have
increased by leaps and bounds.
Last year 105.000,000 stamps were
sold, bringing the total sales for the
I nine years up to S4.300,000. This
year the three million' mark has been
| set as a goal and the American Red
Cross and the National Association
I are striving to raise the record
| breaking fund of $3 000,000 with
which to fight consumption.
The policy on which the sale is
conducted is to give the community
| in which the money is raised the
I benefit of its own efforts About
00 per cent of the funds therefore
remain in the community and go to
! state and local anti-tuberculosis work
i providing propaganda to prevent the
' spread of the disease, maintaining
! sanatorial and visiting nurses to
; educate the public and to care for
1 the afflicted. The Red Cross takes
the remaining ten per cent to meet
i the actual expenses of the campaign.
"Don't forget that every seal you
; buy will help to carry out our pro
gram of national physical prepared
I ness.” is the appeal of the workers.
I •This year the work is intended
! especially for the protection and
| care of soldiers.”

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 21.—Only the fact that
the Germans failed to venture into
no man’s land on a recent night
saved them from an American sur
prise. One hundred and sixty men
of the first batallion to enter the
trenches for a week received special
training and, after being transported
to the front, crawled across no man’s
land and took positions in front of
and in the German wire entangle
ments at a point where it had been
discovered the enemy came out every
night.
Each man had been trained in a
special task and the entire unit had
rehearsed the part it intended to
play under conditions similar to that
in front of the German lines. The
Americans reached the position soon
afer dark and remained in waiting all
night, but not one German appeared
either there or at any place in no
man’s land.
The plan was to permit several
groups of ten to fifteen to emerge
and meet at a rendezvous. Then the
Americans would fall on the enemy
and repay them fully for recent
trench raids.
A cold which a soldier caught in
the trenches brought him a wound
in the hand and gave warning to a
German patrol of an ambuscade near
!i shell ruined farmhouse in no man’s
land. Several of the Americans had
colds and coughs, but managed to
control them. Finally, when the
shadowy forms of an enemy patrol
were seen approaching one of the
Americans coughed. The enemy pa
trol promptly disappeared toward
its own lines from which there soon
afterwards came a hail of machine
gun bullets, one hitting the man
who had coughed.
Two staff officers recently had a
narrow escape while walking along
a road in the rear of the lines.
They heard the whizz of an enemy
shell and jumped, thinking it was
close by, when the projectile came
down in the center of the road on
either side of which they were walk
ing
The first American regimental col
ors to be carried on the battle front
in France have been returned to
regimental headquarters. Written on
it in ink over the signature of the
French commander is a certificate
that this was the first flag to reach
the front lines. The flag did not fly
at the front, as no flags are used
there. It actually was carried. howr
ever. to a dugout in the rear of the
second line, remaining there several
days.
American artillery and infantry at
the front are dry once more, the rain
having ceased for several days
The correspondents visiting the im
mediate front through the courtesy
of the French staff, found that the
Americans had taken advantage of
the rainless weather and1 were devot
ing all their energies to changing,
as they put it. “Germans Into casual
ties.” They are on their toes every
minute and are not letting a single
opportunity slip to drop a shell or
to send machine gun and rifle bullets
where the enemy is seen, or where
he Is suspected of being. There ta
no doubt that the men like the life
they are living. They are as cool
and methodical as if they had been
doing nothing but fighting through
out their lives.
The fine group in the first line
trenches had just sat down to salmon'
sandwiches and coffee when they
Jumped up and cut loose with auto
matic rifles at Germans who were
discovered hanging out clothes on a
wire In a battered village. The
Americans saw the enemy dive for
cover like rabbits, and then’ went on
with their meal as if nothing had
happened.
This particular part of France’s
long battle front In the earth does
not absorb water like a sponge as in
some other localities. There has
been no rain for three days, so the
ground is fairly dry. The uniforms
of the men show evidences of where'
mud once had been, but that is all.
From the first line trenches which
are on a hill the German first line
I can be seen clearly between 500 and
I 1,000 yards away. There was some
thing in the first line once which
will never go back to Germany. It
is a woolly dog which deserted the
enemy, crossed no man’s land and
nounaeu into an American irencn
one dark night recently. It licked
the hand of an American ‘doughboy”
and was promptly fed with a piece |
of white bread and a handful of
Columbia river salmon. It was adopt-j
ed and now roama all around the
trenches and even walks on the
parapet and through the barbedwire
entanglements as if there were no
war.
‘‘This pup.” said one of the sol
diers. “is a naturalized American,
and there is no hyphen about him.
He has entirely forgotten all his
Boche connections. 1 hope he gets a
chance to bite the kaiser.”
As the correspondents approached
the trench linps over the shell-pitted
ground the enemy started breaking
shrapnel over the first line. This
tiling lasted only a brief time, stop
! ping as suddenly as it began. Tm
i mediately afterward came detonation
from the rear and the whizz of shells
| overhead as the American batteries
got into action. Then some puffs
; began appearing over the German
, trenches. The infantrymen looked
| cautiously over no man’s land while
J the firing was going on. but as soon
' as it was over they appeared to for
get all about it.
In a nearby dugout the men off
| duty had not even heard the racket,
i Their principal worry seemed to he
rats.
One occupant of the dugout explain
1 ed that there was sleeping room in it
for thirty-eight men and that 12 cats
were kept, fats were everywhere,
s(«tne sleeping on folded, blankets
and some prowling in dark corners
or stalking their prey.
The men all appeared to be in the
best of health, although during the
vet and cold weather of previous
days several men fa this unit had
contracted trench feet and colds.
While the sun was going down be
hind the hills and! darkness was
coming on swiftly, scarcely a shot
was ffred. Just as the sun passed
below the horizon, however, the
German batteries opened up oa
one of the American battery posi
tions wtth a hot ftre. the high ex
plosives bursting with the regularity
of the clock tick -about one every
two minutes and then ended abrupt
ly. Immediately the American bat
teries retaliated, flashes of o'*0**
colored flame stabbing the nUbt.
The detonations, some heavy and
some light, continued for a while
with as much speed as the Germans
had shown. Then the "strafinf!” «“d
the answer being over the artilleiT
settled down to the night of usual
quiet.
