80,000,000 seals, bringing in $800,
000, it is expected that this year a
least 100,000,000 seals or $1,000,001
worth will be sold. The sale will b<
organized from Alaska to the Cana

Every State and Territory in th<
United States will have seals on sale
New organizations will be workinj

including Montana. Utah .and Wyo
mir.g. Distribution of the seals i
now under way.
The Red Cross Christmas seal fo
1916 was designed by Mr T M Cle
land of New York city. It shows i
Santa Claus in red on a green oacn
ground in center panel with a pad
on his back bearing a red cross. Th
lettering "A Merry Christmas" am
"A Happy New Year" is carrie<
vertically up and down the side9 o
the seal,while the date and the word
"American Red Cross" are acros
the bottom of the seal. The poste
effect given by this seal is very strik
ing and makes an unusually hand
some design.

Lake Swamp Has Scare.
From a gentleman living on Lak
Swamp, in Horry county, the re
porter learned that a strange ani
mal was causing some alarm in tha
usually quiet community. It wa
stated that last Friday mornini
Patrick Gerald found where one o
his hogs had been killed and parti;
eaten by some cloven-foot animal
There was indications that the hoj
was dragged for a considerable dis
tance to the fence jam before beinj
devoured, which showed that th
varmint was of large size, and specu
fc* lation was ripe as to what species i
was. some declaring that the tracl
was that of a bear, while other
claimed it to be a wild cat.
Saturday morning Mr Gerald'
little son left home riding a mule
He carried a basket of corn to feei
the geese, which wp? in a distan
field. On his return he noticed i
large animal crou hing along th
road side in il busnes, and the bo
fearing an attack, p it whip to h:
ii. jit and get u.v." r.j rust as !v
could. Thestrange animal gave chase
ail the time keeping in the bushes
The chase was kept up for mor
than half a mile, and when near M
Gerald's home, the animal scratchei
up the ground and disappeared
Aerain hounds were secured and pu
on the trail, but they refused to rui
it. The people over there are mucl
worked up over the matter and de
clare that they propose to hunt unti
they find and kill the intruder.Mv

The Tick's Tax On Dairies.
k Washington, D C, September 4:?
e There is a not uncommon idea that
3 if a cow does not die from Texas
3 fever, the cattle tick is doing it no
f great harm. Native cattle, it is as8
serted, are immune to the tick.
s There could be no greater mistake.
r Cattle may become immune to the
fever but none of them ever becomes
I. immune to the loss of the blood that
the tick sucks out. With steers this
loss means reduced weight and lower
prices; with dairy cows it means
smaller milk production and corres"
pondingly smaller profits.
Government tests conducted simulh
taneously, under identical conditions,
e with ticky and tick-free herds show
. that ticks reduce the milk flow from
,s 18 to 42 per cent, the exact amount
,t depending, of course, upon the
e severity of the infestation. Transel
late this statement into dollars and
g cents and the true meaning of the
tick to the dairy industry becomes
obvious.
s Let us assume that a man owns a
e herd of twenty cows each of which,
under normal conditions, yields eight %
s; quarts a day and that he can sell jj
the milk for five cents a quart. His fj
f gross revenue then is $8 a day from ?
f his herd. If a few ticks are allow- 0
2 ed to feed upon his cows and their |
.. production is cut down eighteen per \
' cent, his gross revenue is only $6.55
a day. If each cow is milked on an
average 200 days in the year, his an- j
nual gross revenue is lowered from
6 $1,600 to $1,310. This is the minimum
loss from the tick. If the in^
festation is very heavy and the production
lowered 42 per cent the rev3
enue is cut from $1,600 to $930?a jj
^ loss of $670 a year. |
This loss is absolute; there is no 1
v
; reduction in the cost or labor of .
feeding to offset it. Neither is it
possible to overcome it by increas- ?
ing the amount of feed. "Cows ?
carrying ticks," says the govern- I
e ment report of the tests, "did not
^ increase their flow of milk when the
^ feed was increased as did the tickfree
cows." In other words, the
g
feed went to the ticks and not to
the cows.
?
The practical experience of the
^ people confirms the conclusions of
t the Government investigators. In
the tick-infested sections of the
South dairying is not an important
industry. The farmer may cling, if
he wishes, to the delusion that thei,
tick is harmless to immune cattle,'!
but he is not likely to put his faith i
' to the test bv investing in dairy i I
' I cows. He knows from his own and j
61 i
his neighbor's experience that thev;
I* j
, will make little money for him. On
1 ! I
the other hand, where the tick has j
^ been eradicated, dairying is coming |
more and more into favor. Si'os:
^ i are being built, pa -bred stock is
| being introduced, the herds are get-!
j | ting better, they are being better |
cared for, and they are paying better.;
