Tho charge to local agents for the seals will be 12',$ percent, of the gross proceeds, the national agent furnishing furnish-ing the seals and advertising material, and taking back all unsold seals at tbe end of tbe season. Postmaster General Gener-al Hitchcock has approved of the design de-sign of the seal.
