The Weekly Courier-Joarnal has
withdrawn its offer of $1,000 to be
given to subscribers who could
name the hottest day in August,
and guess closest to the highest
temperature on that day. This ac-
ton was taken because of the SER

by the great railroad strike. A

on the November Congressional
Election is now being prepared, and
will be announced by the Weekly
