Magnitude Of Offer Unprece-
dented in the State or Even
in Metropolitan Cities.
EVER Y BODY WILL WIN
Fill Out the 10000 Nomination
Blank for Yourself or Friend.
and Send to Telegram.

The greatest interest was aroused
throughout Clarksburg and the sur
rounding territory by the extremely
unusual offer made by The Daily Tel
egram Monday, when 1t announced that
1t would give away 81, 10000 In valu-
able prizes.
The magnitude Of The Daily Tele-
grams offer can scarcely be grasped
in passing moment, and free gifts
such as two high grade, model 1915
five-passenger touring cars, two
tours Of Europe and two trips to the
Panama-Pacific exposition with all
expenses paid, two $125 diamond
rings, two 500 Victrolas, two SIS
solid gold watches, two $3.50 tailor
ed suits, two S25 Kodaks and the
amazing offer Of ~ per cent. for new
subscriptions to non-winning compet-
itors, are quite unusual. The project
undertaken by this paper is Of such
extent that It deserves careful con-
sideration by every reader.
i Twenty Per Cent.
Think OF the astounding offer Of
90 per cent. for all new subscriptions.
Can you grasp the strength Of this
offer? 4
Suppose you were to start out to
solicit subscriptions and get say one
five year subscription for $1,000 you
would get $3.50 for yourself IL you
did not win one Of the prizes. Now
to say that a competitor would only
secure one subscription day during
the campaign, and to figure the exact
number OF days which is 4S (which
the campaign has to run) one sub
scription daily would figure d total Of
$45.0S. Quite neat little sum to
have don't you think? Especially
when It Is Just for your, spare time.
Now this Is minimum estimate for
1fiontin,,sis o5- =. y te,,,s ~.

REHOBOTH BEACH.

Labor Day passed quietly at Rehoboth
Beach, in fact like any other day The
principle of Labor Day does not appeal
to these true American citizens. Labor
Day was introduced into this country bv
a servile, menial, slavish class from Eu-
rope. One day in seven has been recog-
nized for thousands of years as Labor Day,
by all classes, and the founders of this
Republic approved it, What would the
shades of Benjamin Franklin or George
Washington think if they knew a day
every year was set aside for the glorifca-
ton of our lowest class-in our free
America? Freedom from caste means
freedom of opportunity, and as every
French soldier has the possibility of a
Marshal S baton in his knapsack, so every
American school boy should feel that the
highest position in the land is within his
possibilities. In prehistoric days time
was measured by the moon and twenty
eight days made the month. Itwas Julius
Caesar who first measured time bv the
sun; also in those days people counted bv
the dozen, and not by the decimal system.
hence, half-a-dozen days was considered
sufficient work-then a rest day, which
did not count. Therefore, we get for
lunar month four working spells of six
days each, and four days Of rest, making
the twenty eight days. We believe this
Seventh Day for a day of rest was the
custom among the Cushites centuries be-
fore Adam, and sacred to the principles
Of the necessity for rest and recreation.
The true American does not want a dav
to prove that he belongs to class, or to
a caste, so let us all keep our SUNDAYS,
and let JOY be unsonhned "

EPWORTH DISTRICT

! The bottom fell out of the tomato mar
ket at this place this week. Last week
tomatoes were selling for twenty cents a
basket, but the buyers here are Offering
only twelve cents for them this week
? It seems too bad that the farmers have to
be regulated in their sale of produce bv
the prices that the buyers want to offer
them. The crop this year is a small one,
and the demand is large, yet the price
drops when by all lines of reasoning it
should advance. The farmers in this
section are beginning to believe that by
growing their own truck and putting the
rest of their land in corn and hay thev
can make better money. At any rate, it
is understood that number of them will
do this next year, and give the buyers a
chance to see what they can earn when
their source of revenue through the far
mer is cut off.
