Contest Closes Saturday
Night at 500 P. NJ.

d. l.. Freeman of the First National
Bank II. NJ. BilharZ, of the Farmers
State Bank and Chas White attorney.
Z b foregoing persons have con
sented to act as judges and make the
final count of votes, on March 81. at
800 o'clock, p. m, to determine the
winner of the grand prize. ..
They will make the official count of
the votes and in their hands is placed
complete supervision. ..
The contestants must not let their
friends become disappointed in them
when the true test is op hand. Show
them that you are worthy of the con-
tidence they have placed in your win
ming. The question is, who will be the
first under the wire next Saturday p.
m? No one can tell. While the
leaders are doing fine; while it looks a.
if some of those who are leading, will
be first, there is always some possibility
of a contestant winning on garrison
fiuish'-one of those finishes of race
where the winner breaks from the
bunch, rushes toward the goal, and
wins by only IAN eyelash. y
Imagine the cyclone of excitment
there would be if some contestant who
has remained quietly in the rear guard
should make garrison finish, such
thing is possible, and we warn the
leaders to look out for that unexpected
burst of speed" that may develop on
the part of some contestant who is re-
garded as beaten. Such things have
happened in other contests. The auto
mobile would be all but won by some
contestant, and the people hurrahing
in anticipation of her victory, when at
the last moment the honors would be
snatched from her by another contestant
who had been listed as defeated"
Don't place too much confidence in
your winning. If you believe yourself
to be in the lead then do everything in
your power to keep it. Work harder
for subscriptions now, and keep the
votes coming, for you may need them
when the final count is made. s.s.s,
You don't want TO come within a
hairs breath of winning the Ford auto.
mobile, and then lose it by the lack of
few votes. 1t is eyerybody's race, so

TOLL OF cARELEssNEss.

Like the loss OF the Titanic with It's

carelessness or recklessness. Or both.
The Titanic was sen, TO the bottom Of
desire OF managing director 10 ss-
tabiish a new record with new ship.
Safety was sacrificed in an effort to
attract public attention to a floating
palace owned by wealthy corpora
ton.
There was call for extreme caution
in the navigation Of the Empress Of
Ireland and the Norssad. II was night
and heavy fog settling over the st.
Lawrence. The channel for the pas
sage of ships was necessarily restrict
ed. even tho the river ia many miles
wide where the disaster occurred
From the evidence Of the captain Of
the Empress OF Ireland be appreciated
the dangers. and had taken extraor-
binary precautions. had signaied the
approaching vessel and had even
stopped his ship in order 70 insure
safety to passengers and crew. Speed
and records were matters of secondary
consideration IN the mind OF Captain
Kendall.
While no statement has been forth
coming from the commander of the
Norstad the evidence Of others ndi-
Gates there was criminal carelessness
on the part of the navigator of that
vessel Signals from the Empress Of
Ireland were answered and under
stood, yet all rules of safety appear TO
have been ignored, and nearly 1000
lives paid the penalty Of carlessness.
Some one is TO blame, and while pun
ishment would not alleviate the suffer
ings OF the injured nor soften the sor-
rows OF the thousands who mourn the
loss Of kin. it is time an example was
made OF the criminally careless.
