The postoffice department has ap- -! proved of the Red Cross seal design, i and they may, therefore, in accordi- ance with order No. 5020 of the postoffice department "be affixed to the re- - verse side of domestic mail matter." Red Cross Seals must be placed only on the back of letters and not on the address side of any packages that are going through the mail. They s, may be placed on the back of a letter e, or package as may be desired. Evrt ery one is urged to use them liberally,

since every seal is a bullet in the fight against tuberculosis. Care should be exercised in sending merchandise through the mails not to place seals over the string with which the package is tied, since this seals the package against inspection and subjects it to lirst-class postage rates. Red Cross Seals may be used also on the reverse side of mail matter sent to Austria, Germany, Great Britain and most of the British Colonies I except India and Australia. Gautemala, Uruguay and Portugal refuse | to admit mall bearing non-postage | stamps. Red Cross Seals may be used on the j face of checks, on bills, on legal documents, and on any commercial paper. These Christmas seals ttrp not good for postage. They will not carry any mail matter, but any kind of mail matter will carry them. The slogan of the campaign this year is "A Million for tuberculosis from Red Cross Seals.' j 1 Every letter or parcel sent out during the holiday season should bear one or j I more seals. - - - ----- —> 1 WILL BE 600 D. | I Fast Wrestling Match Scheduled For ( Coming Saturday Evening. ,r I Sports or the city will be given an , opportunity Saturday evening of witnessing something in the line of sport ; that they have not seen for some time when two big championship wrestling matches will be pulled off at the Bosse opera house.

INDIANA SURVEY Is Promised by the Bureau of Soil for This Year, With Big Field Force. OF MUCH INTEREST I Government Will Send Her Best Men to Indiana During the Coming Year. A communication from Edward Barrett, state geologist for, Indiana, gives the following information that will be of interest to many of our readers at this time: Early last spring 1 began negotiations with the 11. S. bureau of soils at Washington, D. C., looking to cooperative work in the soil survey, nowbeing conducted in this state by myself and assistants. I am pleased to announce that arrangements have been consumated with Milton Whitney, chief of bureau of soils, Washington, D. C., by which his department will assist in the Indiana survey next year. This arrangement means that the field force on the soil work next year will be more than double, and that some of the best geologists and soil men of the U. S. bureau of soils will be sent to Indiana. It means, too, that the means for conducting the work will be more than double and that , in addition to the supervision that I shall be able to give it, the | work will have the benefit of the ex--1 perience and criticism of the best I men in the soil work in this country. ; The government, of course, will pay I the salaries of the men it sends to 1 Indiana. ‘‘lt is my purpose to devote twoI thirds of the funds of this department to soil work next year, and I desire very much to awaken an interest among the farmers and business men of Indiana in this great work.” E. M. Ray of Berne was among the business callers here yesterday. o FOUND —Pair of boy's arctics between Heckmans mill and Meyers' ' sawmill. Inquire at this office. 284tf
