This one thing we desire to have
especially remembered. There will
be no inside information to give
out to any one under any circum.
stances. The management of the pa
per. the management of the contest
Will not themselves know how the
votes in the contest stand after the
last publication Friday afternoon. The
votes will be deposited in a box
under lock and key as they come in
and they will not be removed until
the judges themselves remove and
count them and declare the final re-
suit which will he announced in the
Ardmoreite Sunday morning.
We have taken a complete count
OF all votes that have been cast
since the very first of the contest
and if there have been any mistakes
made the contestant in whose count
the mistake has been made should
report it at once so that il can be
corrected. We assume that the
count as 1t appears in the paper to-
day Is correct and if the contestants
find that it compares with their rec
ord and there is no objections filed
with the contest inunager before
Thursday the count as it appears in
the paper each day hereafter will be
considered as official and no changes
will be made.
Just a chance and the ability to
size 1t up that WIS. This is the
whole truth. What more does any
honest man or woman want than n
fair chance? If any one is expect.
ing anything else in this contest,
they have made a mistake. They are
in the wrong pew. If all line of
business was conducted as fairly as
this contest the Golden Rule would
be in full force and effect. What a
pity it isn't.
The rumor fiend is getting in his
work again by spreading all kinds
Of foolish talk about how many votes
this or that candidate will have; how
much they are going to spend, and a
lot of other fool dope no sensible
ought to pay any atten-
ton to. There are always a lot of
wise CD people who think they
know more about what's doing than
The contestants or the contest man
ayers. The contestants will not be
foolish enough to give away the |
number of votes they expect to have
when the contest Is over and they |
ire the only ones that know.
Contestants will have to use their |
,wn judgment as to how many
'otes they think will win the diff
enent prizes.
IF they beat us they will have to

working under. No stone will re-

adds to the firmness of the article is
the fact that the new pack came on a
market virtually bare.
Delaware, Maryland, and other states
in the southern district produced far
less than was required to cover con-
tracts for early Junes. while New York
state and the middle west picked only
so per cent or even less of an average
in Alaskas.
This state Of affairs forced packers
who had sold futures freely to other
markets to cover their requirements,
According to information from Indiana.
New York packers have invaded that
field for this purpose, altho the Indiana
pack of early peas is placed at so per
cent less than q normal crop.
Owing to the unfavorable outlook for
canned apples packers have Withdrawn
future quotations on that article.
Prices of canned lemon cling peaches
have again advanced as a result of
scarcity and a more active demand.
Little is doing in canned sardines,
altho it is known that the pack will
probably be unusually short this sea-
son. Demand for canned salmon con-
,inues good, with prices firmly main
tanned.
There is not much activity in dried
fruits except prunes. Some packers
have withdrawn their future quota
tons on oregon Italians by notifying
their agents to accept no further bust
ness for the present.

was always on hand when a film of
that kind was shown, especially if it
had in it a big Indian fight.

ARGUE AGAINST PARCELS JOST.
w. J. Pilkineton and L. c. Abbott, Of
Iowa, Acpcar Before Committee,

Iowa, Appear Before Committee.
Washington, July 13.--Amorg those
heard before the house committee on
postoffices on the parcels post question
were two citizens of Iowa. l.. c. Abbott
of Mar. alltown, and W. j. Pilkington
editor of the Merchants Trade Journal
OF Des Moines. Both opposed the es-
adjustment of parcels posts ystem.
Mr.. Pilkington was the chief speaker
and in what he said Mr.. Abbott sub
stantially conceded. Mr.. Pilllington OPP
posed existing express rates and at the
same time opposed the parcels post. He
declared the parcel post agitation pro-
ceeded from the great mail order
houses.
Among other things. Mr. Pilkin ston
said he had conferred with Senator
Cu,nmins. and that the latter would in
troduce a bill prohibiting one Transport
tation company from hauling goods for
another transportation company This
bill, he explained, would amount to
prohibiting the railroads from hauling
business for the express companies and
would require the railroads themselves
to do the business now turned over to
the express companies Hes trongly
urged the wisdom of this action.
Mr.. Pilkington made the familiar
arguments against the parcels post.
Among other things. he held that it was
an advantage for the farmers TO come
TO town. He thought the farmers
deteriorated IL they did not go to town
occasionally and rub up with civiliza-
ton
He held, too. that In the long run
those who patronized the mail order
houses paid more for what they bought
than did those who patronized the local
merchants. He held the houses hould
pass the Cummins bill to enable state
courts to get jurisdiction Of mail order
concerns in another state

MIXED JuRIEs PROBABLE.
! Several Problems May Arise From Sc
lection of Women in Washinqton.

Spokane. Wash. July 12-What to
do with women who will be called to
serve as jurors with men when the
Spokane county superior court con-
venes next September. Is one Of the
vexing problems confronting the five
men,b ers OF the bench. headed by
Judge Henry l.. KEENAN,. The various
clubs in Spokane have given out state
nents that their members are ready
and willing to do jury duty The
judges hope q modern Solomon or Po--
tia will come forward to unravel the
tangles presented by these possible
situations:
Ii twelve women are selected to try
case and six disagree from the other
six.
If four women decide they are right
in civil action and six men jurors
hold opposite views.
If a mixed jury OF men and women
is kept together in a felony case until
all ar eagreed upon verdict.
If six women and six men are lock-
ed in room to determine the guilt or
innocence Of a person charged with a
canital crimeo
Relating to service of jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by the
legislature Of 1911. says:
"Any woman desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exemption
by signing written or printed notice
thereof and returning same to the
sheriff before the date of appearance.
and if exem ption Is claimed by reason
of sex no fee shall be allowed for her
appearance"
The law provides that the Jury
sworn to try the issues in felony cases
shall be kept together and in custody

MORE PAY FOR RURAL CARRIERS.
Forty Thousand Employees Of Uncle
Sam to Get Raise.

Washington, July 1.-THE 10000 odd
rural-free delivery carriers in the
United States are to receive salary in
crease as a result of a decision reached
yesterday by Postmaster General
Hitchcock The order will provide for
the disbursement during the current
fiscal year Of s4,0O0,000 which will
mean an increase of s1CO over the pres
ent salary of 5000 for all carriers or
standard routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure Of this extra s4,-
Coo, OCO, but left it to the discretion OF
the postmaster general as to how much
of it should be expended. Mr.. Hitch
cock decided yesterday to authorize
the expenditure of the full amount.
His desire to compensate the carriers
for any additional burden which may
be placed on them if the parcels post
system he has recommended for rural
routes is approved by congress, was
the important consideration, Mr.. Hitch
cock declared yesterday. which led him
to make the authorization.
In the current year the rural service
will cost the government about $40,-
coo 900. the estimated loss being about
$4,000, eco The postmaster general ex-
pressed the belief that the parcels post
system under proper management
would insure the maintenance and eH-
tension of the rural free delivery SER
vice as a self-supporting branch of the
postal service.
The rural delivery system was start
ed fifteen years ago with eight-three
carriers, who were paid only 5000
year. On July 1 there were 41,562 car
ricrs, their aggregate salaries being
s35, 900.
