ARMISTICE DAY J
TO BE OBSERVED
LIST
nf the cnmpnlgn in tho vicinity of
Scappooso and Mrs. S. C. Esterday
has been placed In charge of, tho
Clatskanie district.
"Carry On" Is I ho slogan of the
membership campaign, voiced by the
American lied Cross, known through
out the dark period of the war as
"the greatest mother In the world"
and tho drive which opened yester
day und ends on Armistice Day, next
Tuesday. Is to pledge the contlnuancoj the property line
to the street committee.
Mrs. Thomas Isblster made a com
plaint us to the dumage tho steam
pipes wore doing to her property on
tho corner of Cowlitz nnd Strand
streets. The responsibility for the
broken or leaky steam pipes was dis
cussed and the recorder instructed to
notify the mill company to repair
the pipes if It was found that the
broken or leaky pipe was outside of
mile post, and the beginning of next
week will see all the contestants on
the home stretch and exertiug all
their energies to breast the tape
ahead of their rivals.
The contest has now narrowed
down to an endurance race between
the ambitious ones who are really In
earnest about securing one of the
many valuable prlzeB within their
reach. Those who are not doing their
best (and there are a few of these)
are throwing away an easy chance of
getting a splendid reward them
selves. The one who Is seen to be In earn
est and who Is doing her best soon
gets help from her friends. Several
sources unknown to themselves, and
1 rohably others will also prlflt In the
same way before the close of the
contest. One young woman came In
to the office the other day and com
plained that It seemed to her that all
persons approached had already
given the subscription or promised
It to others. She felt discouraged and
thought of giving up the work. Shd
was encouraged to continue. Within
an hour a person whom she had not
seen or expected a vote from called .
and paid enough money to entitle him
to 10.000 votes. These votes he
ordered paid to the young lady In
question. On learning this she took
new courage and went at the work
with renewed vigor and Is now high
among" the leadera of the conteat. By
this It will be seen that It la unwise
to become too early discouraged.
Keep at It If you would win one of
the best prizea.
The contestants working In thn
neighboring towns are peculiarly
fortunate In one respect. By glancing
at the vote schedule they will sea
that a new subscription counts for
more than a renewal. The contestants
having the outlaying districts find a
much larger percentage of those they
approach are not subscribers than
those working here at home, henc
they are able to get many new names
and have a much larger total for the
subscriptions they turn In. One auc't
in sending in a list of names, did not
send in one renewal; hence her total
was several thousand votes larger
than it would have been otherwise.
With this final word of counsel to
the contestants, we wish to urge that
each ne prepare to make the next
week count the biggest of all. The
contest closes a week from Saturday
night. There is time yet to accomplish
big results. You have your bearings
now. You know who are subscriber
nnd who are not, nnd hence you need
lose no time In determining how to
approach those whom you wish to In
terest In your work. Yon. by this
nnd with renewed Interest in tbe I time, have your line or argument bet
work or the lodge It is hoped to hav3j ter outlined and should be able ti
an even zuu memoers oeiore tne win
ter sessions are over. The lodge is. in
a flourishing financial condition and
is entirely free of debt. In addition
to owning their own home and a
cemetery, the lodge has about $250:
in ensh and Liberty bonds, a recorJ
ench member is very proud of.
nf the efforts of the organization's
efforts, the post-war work which re
mains to ho accomplished.
Messrs. Wheeler nnd Gore are
gratified nt the liberal response made
on tho opening da yof the campuign

dlstlrct will go over tho top.
