The contest is already more than
half over, and but a few weeks
separate you from the premium
that you have set your heart upon
Less than four weeks more and
the magnificent premiums will be
awarded to the young women who
have been selected by popular vote
to become their owners. Less than
four weeks of additional endeavor
and you will be made the happiest
girl in this part of Texas, if not
in the whole state, by the posses
sion of one of these premiums. The
prospects are too great to let pass,
and the more you consider the re-
ward, the less seems tn amount
of effort required to win.
What Success Means.
IT you will stop a few moments
and consider just what success in
this campaign means to you, you
will not lose another moment Of
| time during these few remaining
weeks. If you put forth honest
sincere and persevering effort dur
ing these days, and are declared
the winner of the capital premium
automobile, you Immediately as
stme a place of Importance In your
home community. First you will
be looked up to as young wo-
man who is strong and determined
enough to finish what she under
takes-one of those who really do
things in life--and this is a repu-
tation that we are all DESTROYS of
having. Victory in a contest of
this character shows true character
There are any number of people
project with energy and enthusiasm
worthy the greatest doer of great
deeds. For a time they follow
along these lines until they come
to be regarded as real accomplish
ers. Then some day there comes
hitch in the smoothness of their
course, and at this first sign of
opposition they encounter they are
ready to give up the fight. Such
people may be divided into two
give up when obstacles hinder
them and those who struggle along
for a time in a feeble sort of way,
but without putting their hearts
into their efforts. Both of these
classes belong to the non-accomp-
fishers, those who are of very little
use to the world, and simply be
cause they lack that one essen
isl-perseverance. Success lies
with you, and it is only by per-
severing that you can hope to sue
coed. Then if you win that capi-
tai premium you have the means
of unlimited pleasure given you.

COUNTY ANNOUNCEMENTS

All announcements below are
made subject to the Democratic Pr
iary to be held in July, 1912.
The Glenwood post., 1912-09-21
A TRIBUTE TO THE DOG

In a speech made by the late Senator
Vest of Missouri, in the course of the
trial of man who had wantonly shot
a dog belonging to neighbor, Vest
represented the plaintiff, who demand
ed 5000 damages When Vest finished
speaking, the jury, after two minutes
deliberation, awarded the plaintiff
$500. The speech follows:
Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend man has in this world may
turn against him and become his enemy.
His son or daughter that he has reared
with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to
us, those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may be-
come traitors to their faith. The
money man has he may lose. 1t flies
away fromhim perhaps when he needs
it most. A mans reputation may be
sacrificed in a moment of i'll considered
action. The people who are prone to
fall on their knee to do us honor when
success is with us may be the first to
throw a stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
only absolute unselfish friend a man
has in this world, the one that never
deserts him and the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his
dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, a man s dog
stands by him in prosperity and in
poverty, in health and in sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground, where
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, if only he may be near
his master S side He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer, he will lick
the wounds and sores tnat come in en-.
counters with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his pau
per master as if he were a prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is con
stant IN MS love as the sun IN Its jour
ney through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an outcast in
the world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him TO
guard him against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when the last
scene of all comes, and death takes the
master in its embrace and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, no mat
ter if all other friends pursue their
way, there by his graveside will the
noble dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert
watchfuiness, faithful and true evea
to death.
