The labor secretary, it was said, authoritatively, is opposed to any. in crease of the existing three per cent limiation, at least until the tide ; of immigration from northern and-west ern Europe reaches the quota allowed by law. Thus far the number of im migrants coming from those sections have equalled only about 50 per cent of the authorized maximums. On the other hand, officials pointed out, thie inflow from southern Europe i has reached the permitted maximum each year with many thousands of others Rural credits legislation said to have the approval of administration- t>facials and proposing to create a farm credits department as a part of tile present farm loan system was in troduced simultaneously In the senate |bad house Wednesday by Senator Lenroot, republican, Wisconsin, and Representative Anderson, republican, Minnesota. The two bills similar in most par ticulars would ‘make available for farm loans a total of $60,000,000 dis tributed equally among 12 farm loans banks’. The present government sub scription to the 12 banks totals only $12,000000. The banks would be au thorized to rediscount farm paper having a maturity of from six month b to three years. an article in the Outlook. Miss Emily Bissell read the article and conceiv ed the idea of using the Christmas Seal for a tuberculosis sanitarium she was establishing in Wilmington,- Delaware. With the support of the North American and local publishers she launched a sale that brought in more than $3000. The success of the venture appealed to her imagination and she was able to Induce the Am in .that section seeking to come to < erican Red Cross to undertake a na tion-wide campaign for the sale of this country. CHRISTMAS SEALS PAY THE BILLS In announcing the annual drive'for the sale of Christmas Seals, the health badges which have become as much a part of the holiday- season in America as gift making itself.

More than $135,000- was raised from the first sale, while that of the next year was $200,000. The sale receipts grew hy leaps and hounds until 1917 whpn the number of seals sold totaled 180,- 000 . 000 . In 1918, as a war measure, the seals were not sold but through an agree ment between the Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis association the seals were awarded in limited quantities to each member of the Red Cross and state associations, for were given.Tram the Red Cross member- sl{j\ii clrive a siim equal ' to its seal Patriotism and Business Every good citizen at this time should do his share toward strengthing the Federal Reserve Banicing System which our govrnment has cre ated with its billion dollars of resources to stand back of its member banks and all their depositors You can contribute directly to the strength of this system, and at the same time secure its pro tection by depositing your money with eus, since part of every dollar goes directly into the new system, where it is always ready for you when wanted* This is a suggestion for prompt action. FIRST NATIONAL BANK , i OF CHOTEAU wide cause which is so vital. The Choteau Woman’s club Is in charge of sales and an effort will be made to see to it that no one is de nied an opportunity for purchasing as many as desired of the little messengers which carry abroad the news of war on dread tuberculosis. A brief history of the seal,- Its pur pose and value, why it shouldvbe on every Christmas package, is broad casted by the National Tuberculosis association as follows, and adds in terest to the campaign through mak ing of it a thing of history and tra ditions worthy of interest and sup port. History of the Xmas Seal. Our- grandmothers playing at Post- Office during the Civil war originat ed the Charity Stamps out of which the Christmas Seal has grown. In 1862 a group of women interested in a Sanitary commission established miniature post offices in connection with fairs held In Boston and other eastern cities. By 1864 the Charity Stamp used in connection with these post offices had raised more than a million dollars for the care of sol diers in Northern hospitals. In 1892 the idea again appeared In a stamp for Red Cross work in Por tugal and from that time on the stamps began to spread over Europe. First Tuberculosis Seal- In 1904 a Danish postmaster con ceived the idea of using a stamp as a tuberculosis Beal and secured the royal patronage for launching a Christmas seal to establish a sani- torium for children. The success of the initial campaign at once assured him and the idea soon spread to the Scandinavian countries, Switzerland, and before the war was in vogue in more than a dozen of the European countries. The Red Cross Seal. In 1907 Jacob Rifs received a let ter from Denmark bearing one of the Danish Tuberculosis Christmas seals. He was interested in the emblem and described the seal and its history in sales for the previous year. In this way the\ -tuberculosis associations were enabled to carry on their work. Christmas Seals. Since 191? 'the Christmas seal has borne no relation to tlie Red Cross, but is now called the Christinas Seal and is strictly.a Tuberculosis Seal, the proceeds being used entirely in promoting .tuberculosis work. Educational’ Value of the Seat. In selling seals ;one must sell the idea of tuberculosis prevention. By the Christmas seal, millions of peo ple have learned of the nature and prevention of this disease. Hundreds of hospitals, clinics, nurses and oth er agencies for fighting tuberculosis have been brought into existence; communities have been aroused to a better appreciation of their individ ual and public health and the nation has been stirred to a realization of the importance of tuberculosis as a disease problem. Financial Value of the Seal. The financial aspect of the Xmas seal is next In Importance to its ed ucational value. The Christmas Seal since 1907 has brought In $20.000.000 for organized tuberculosis work. Prac tically all the funds are used for ed ucational and organization work. The Christmas seal money Is not ad equate to support institutions or to care for patients, but the funds are used to agitate and organize public oninion to secure hospitals.- clinics, nurses and open air schools. The to tal value of institutions brought Into existence largely through the seal sale would be approximately one hundred million dollars and the an nual maintenance thirty-five million. Each Christmas Seal dollar has been multiplied manyfold through educa tion and organidation. The local car shortage for both grain and livestock has been some what relieved this last week and the farmers are now able to get their wheat Unloaded upon bringing it to town. The Milwaukee furnished care for the last shipment of cattle from this county last week. While the G. N. furnished the J. M. Baker Co. with several cars, giving them room for all grain coming in. The elevat ors at Bynum and Pendroy are still full to capacity, making it very disa greeable for farmers in those com munities to market their crop. Harry Benson, court stenographer for Judge Grame, came in on the Milwaukee Tbo^sday. morning. Joel Otness, who is attending school in Great. Falls, spent a few days visiting with home folks last week. Mr. and Mrs. H. £. Hanson and family of Bole visited with friends and relatives here last week. Mr. Jakal and children of North Dakota visited with his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Edwards, a few days last week. They are now on their way to Portland, Oregon, where they will make their home. Mrs. Hougland of Choteau visited at the J. Otness home last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwards and Mrs. Anderson and sons and Mrs. C. Pet- ersoifc spent a few days last week in Great (Falls. Mr. and Mrs. J. Otness and family and Mr. and Mrs. Hougland and son were ¡dinner guests at the L. J. Ot ness1 home on Thanksgiving day. Miss Ruth Andrews called at the C. Lindseth home last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Connor spent a few days in Great Falls last week. The Ladies Aid met at the Lars Nasset home last \Wednesday after noon. Mrs.. P.
