Rapidly the closing hour of the most
satisfactory contest ever held in this
part of the state is approaching. The
race is narrowing down to half dozen
active workers and, with the friends
promise to furnish most sensation
al finish, in both districts there will be
a regular neck to neck race for the
best prize. Miss Annie Hart of Sal
uda has small lead over Miss Cor
pening of Horse Shoe and the present
outlook is that she will give Miss Hart
a lively chase for first position. They
are both in district No. 2.
There remains but little more than
three days in which contestants can
work, and it would, be we'll for every
one who is in any way interested in
any one contestant to get busy in be-
half of their favorite. Don't look for
some wonderful and unheard of offer
being made at the last minute to in
duce you to become more alert, such
will not be the case. Honest work is
the only thing that can change the
standing of the contestants from the
position they now occupy, so if you
are interested in contestant or are a
contestant yourself and want to win
you must DIG.

,3United We Stand, Divided We FalI.,'

Chicago, May 12-That a uniting
of the Progressive party with the
Republican is not only desired but
actually is sought was the gist of
sentiment expressed at the close to-
day of two days conference at
which Republican leaders outlinded
plans for reorganizing the party.
Herbert S. Hadley, former Gov
ernor of Missouri, who with Sena-
tors Cummins of Iowa; Borah of
Idaho, and Sherman of Illinois, led
the discussion at the conference, said
afterward that the desire to have
those back in the party who left
it to join the Progressive party was
manifest" The coalition, he added,
twas not to be effected by any scheme,
such as the passing or resolutions
by leaders. but rather by a remedying
OF the causes in the Republican party
which resulted in the separation. :"
