You know they are.
It takes hustling to win. though.
You all have the same chance.
Grasp it while there is time.
Bring your votes and subscriptions
and avoid the rush.
For the voting continues.
So does the enthusiasm.
Fairy tales are being told.
Kidding clubs are being formed.
A pcevaricators' club is under for
nation.
The silent one may win the plum.
Keep busy, keep silent.
And wnen the end comes,
Oh, what surprise it will be for
your friends to see your vote go up
many thousands.
HOW VOTES ARE SECURED.
A coupon will be printed in The
Commonwealth each week which
Will be good Tor the number OF votes
indicated on the face Of the ballot.
The best way to secure votes, how
ever, is by securing subscriptions to
The Commonwealth. Votes are al
lowed on subscriptions as outlined in
the voting schedule printed below.
With each cash subscription of 81 90
or more to The Commonwealth we
will issue certain number of votes,
according to the length Of the sub
scription. The certificate votes
issued on each subscription can be
voted at any time during the con-
test, subject to the voting rules.

Candidates Should Apply Themselves

bonus offer of The Commonwealth 's
Great Popularity Contest.
1t fits SO splendidly into what has
been preached regarding the "Op-
portunity Offer . Wednesday night
at Dit will end. So Work for the
night is coming.
If you haven't completed your
club of ten yearly subscriptions you
will have few days in which to ac-
complish that very desirable feat.
The receipt for getting bonus votes
is something like the receipt for
making that popular old Dutch dish,
'hausenpfeffer" )" First you catch
the rabbit-only in the contest you
get the club of ten subscribers. But
you are not confined to one club, but
may secure as many as possible.
Perhaps one of the greatest assets
possessed by a candidate in a big
contest, such as I he Commonwealth
is conducting is enthusiasm. No
success, either great or small, was
ever achieved without q great deal
Of enthusiasm. Some folks are born
with this Gesirea ble characteristic,
SO predominant that they come to be
known as optimists, but there's
nothing to It but enthusiasm pure
and simple.
Histrr.r !: sled 9TH achievements
of men and women who possessed a
solitary idea backed by words Of en-
thusiasm which they themselves gen
Grated among their friends and sup
porters. The same condition exists
in contest. The eager, jubilant
lady who is hubbling over with en-
thusiasm Of her campaign is the cne
who soon has all her friends feeling
the same way.
She feels she is going to win; there
isn't the slightest doubt in her mind
that the natural result is that every
friend becomes booster to some
purpose.
And right now would seem to be
the propitious time to apply every
available ounce of enthusiasm. The
Contest has just gotten under way;
1t has just shaken off its swadding
clothes and the $4,000 Bonus Oppor-
tunity makes it an especially desir-
able time to get into the game with
all the earaestness that can be sum-
moned.

Valley this year. All of those
desiring to tenant beet farms have
been placed. Others have been
here, viewing the situation from
the stand point of hand laborers
in the beet fields. They, too, have
returned to their homes with con-
tracts assuring them of sufficient
work TO keep them busy during
the summer and early fall months.
John Dreith has been in Northern
Colorado, bringing back with him
a number of families who propose
to settle in, or near. Monte Vista.
Dreith indicates that there will be
no trouble to import all the hand
Iaborers necessary for beet culture
this year.
Something over IA half section
OF factory land is contracted for by
prospective tenants, besides the
acreage rented by the local land
owners. The Sugar Company pro-
poses to have all, save about one
section Of its 300 acres OF land
under cultivation this year and
perhaps four hundred acres in

A TRIP SOUTH

X. b. Wallace and wife arrived
in Monte Vista Tuesday morning
for short stay, They have re-
Gently returned from a trip south.
They visited in Texas, Louisiana,
and Alabama. This WAS their first
trip to the old South and what was
especially noticeable was the priu-
tive methods of agriculture. OF
course the negroes do the work,
but as rule they do not hurt
themselves by overwork.
The darkies are easily satisfied
as to dress, shelter and food. The
white man owns practically all the
land and the colored men work it
at 30 much per day. Few OF them
work by the month.
Texas is largely settling up by
northern men but in the other two
states there is but little northern
enterprise.
Mr.. Wallace says his trip south,
and freedom from all business
cares, did him lots OF good and he
feels better than he has in twenty
years.

embarrassing part of it Isl says the
manager, that half dozen groups
of visitors may each be ON speak

guage; such condition is apt to
produce brain storm sbut Mr..
Wright, with pretty fair knowledge
of English, several lines of Ger
man, a word or two of. Spanish
and IA few grunts of Norwegian, is
coping manfully with the situa-
ton. q
Mr.. Wright, although he pro-
fesses no knowledge of the jap
anese language says that he has
information that the Japs who
suddenly left off building the
tracts from the D. & r. g. to fac
tory site, will be back on the job
shortly after having shovelled all
the snow of Cumbres Pass where
they were ordered by headquarters.
About ten car-lengths have been
laid and will be sufficient to accom-
modate whatever maohiaery may
arrive within the next week. Three
carloads Of beet seed are expected
before the middle of this month.
Another language Mr.. Wright
processes to be unable to under
stand is that of the Man Who
Wants TO See the Sugar Factory
Before He Plants His Beets". In
his many years of varied expert.
ences with sugar plants he says he
has never before seen prospective
beet raisers who have demanded
such thing.
"A sugar factory can be built in
sixty days If necessary but it is
evident that beets cannot be raised
in such a short space Of time. II
all those who have beet contracts
assumed this attitude, it would
mean that the factory, which must
under heavy penalty be completed
by October 18th, would lie idle
