of the "Midnight Maidens," at the
Gayety Theatre in Washing ton tins

London, April 3-Satistied that the
result of the referendum on ending
the strike will be against returning to

ride the mandate of the men. Believ-
ing the existence Of the union will be
threatened should the strike go on,
the committee was planning to confer
this afternoon on plan to disregard
the referendum and order the men
back to work.
This action would be we'll received
in Wales where the vote for resump-

of Scotland In England where the

/ In each district, the young ladies and
their friends are working with might
and main to win the magnificent prlz-
es which the Alexandria Gazette has
offered. Each day the struggle has
grown in intensity until now with but
ten more days separating the candI-
date from victory or defeat, the in
terest Of the public is at the white
heat stage of excitement and those
who have failed thur far to aid can
didate and thereby perhaps be the
means of giving some deserving young
lady an enjoyable tour Of Europe with
all expenses paid, had better be get
ting busy or they will find that they
have procrastinated too long.
More Rum0rs
Dame rumor is talking about u
dark horse" and it is positively de-
cIared that there is one who has been
working all the time, but has never
voted or entered her name in the list
1t is also rumored that she will come
in with subscriptions and votes strong
er than horseradish.
The candidates are from this time
on going to spring more surprises on
each other. More special ballots are
being cast each day and many changes
in the positions in the list are to hap
pen. Keep watchful eye on the Vot-
ing in your division.
Look at the List!
Who is your favoritc? Has she as
many votes as her strongest oppon-
ent? If not help her to get as many
and more.
No one should hesitate in giving i
candidate j subscription for one year
or longer. 1t does not cost any more
to subscribe through the candidate
than through the office and will help
her. Anyone one should be willing
to help u friend or deserving young
lady. when it does not cost anything
to do so.

WANT BOOK.
Sheet from a Farmers. "want Book"

Few farmers have a definite idea
of the total amount of money invested
In farm machinery. If you were to
ask John Smith how much his farm
machinery was worth he would be un-
able to answer you. He would proba-
bly, tell you that the different imple-
ments cost so much and that there
were a number of repairs for several
OF these. That these implements were
so many years old. and were probably
worth only about half of what they
were at first. Possibly he had bought
some of these secondhand. and had
never kept any record of the money
invested In farm machinery.
Farming being business, should be
run on business principles, If one is to
know where he is making or losing
money. So with the machinery the
first cost and repairs should be re-
corded and strict account kept of all
labors involved in the up-keep of the
different farm machines. This can
only be done by regular business meth
DDS. The operator of the small farm
may feel that this is not important. and
from his point of view 1t may not be.
Yet actual experience shows that un-
less some records are kept in operat-
ing farm it is extremely difficult to
