The Austrian forces took up posi-
lion on the Servian frontier as long
ago as July a, before war was de-
clared. they have not made any
serious Roadway. The chief Of the
Seryian General Staff reckons that
tie total Austrian-Hungarian forces

cautious are the Austrian com,
handlers that they arc making no
attempt to proceed TO the capture
Of fortified positions behind Los

troops, emboldened by the apparent
supineness of the Hungarian
forces, have crossed the frontiers OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina at several
POINTS and already have penetrated
to Bisnagrud and Foca, where they
are in touch with the forces Of
Montenegro, which are marching

Next Saturday night at nine
clock the contest ends Those who
expect to win must work had. Sub
scriptions mean votes right now, and
votes mean prizes. Don't figure on
the automobile because you have a
few votes in reserve for it is, not
alone the work OF the past few
weeks that will land the prizes, but
also what you do during these re-
naming days.
II has been our observation here
tofore that candidates In a contest
will do excellent work for a few
weeks and then rest secure and con-
fident in the belief that they are
assured of their position at the fin
ish.
We know of some who expect to
own the auto that are absolutely
certain to be disappointed next Sat
urday night They will not even
have lookin at the pianos. The
mere fact that they made some
effort two or three weeks back seeing
to encourage them in the expecta-
ton of being among the capital prize
winners but in reality they will be
lucky If they figure in for a position
among the district prize winners.
This Week Counts
1t is the work this week that
counts. Just as certain as the ap-
proach of Saturday night you viii

constructive seed sowing in all the

Blighted lives, physically. mentally.

of mistaken methods in bringing UP

Good, but weak parents, with aim

So, believing that mothers and
fathers who have gained experience
through parenthoOd would welcome
suggestions as to methods for the
fullest development Of the mental,

suggestions in regard to parental con-

The second gives information on sex

of social ideals.
The third deals with the problem OF
