So sucoessful was this first sale of the seals to the school children that about $140 will go to form the nucleus of a | penny soup lunch fund in the publie schools. This is 60 per cent of the sum raisod by the sale. The seals were solq only Wednesda. noon, though the pupils had been told of the male by their teachers Tuesday. Mrs. T. R. Rutledge secured permission from the Board of Education Saturday. Be- tween 9 a. m. Monday and the same hour Wednesday Mrs. Rutledge tele- {phoned to 407 persons, causing Friend Central to get a taste of the well known | Christmas rush, 1 Pupils Quick Bayers. | A small army of Omaha women had |charge of the seal male at the schools. In some cases they sold direct to the |juvenile *‘consumers.” In others each |teacher took orders and then sent a |couple of young “trusties” out into the hall to purchase the supply. In no case,” said Mrs. K. R. J. Bd- |holm, "“did the sale take up more than ten minutes of time. “And perhaps the greatest benefit of | the sale was In opening the eyes of | Omaha women to the schools and thelr work,” said Mrs. Rutledge. “One woman said she never realined in what a nar- row sphere she had been living. In other instances the women stayed and visited tho various rooms and watched the chil- dren’ work., One schooV gave a fire drill for their inspection. Some of the women were former school teachers who hadn't been Inside their old schools for years, BEvery one of the women expressed a desire to do the same thing over again next year.” As an advertisement for the seals it was a great factor. We have the word of Salesman “Walter,” the blind boy in the Brandeis stores, that now when chil- | dren go past his desk on the main floor they can often be heard to remark that {here are the Christmas seals. Mad Coyotes Are on Rampage in the West SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 19.—~Two Cal- ifornia counties anl three across the line in Nevada are being plllaged by mad coyotes, it was announced here today, and a campaign has been started against them.
