Two Candidates Are Rivals In Chm
anon; Both Working Hard To
Win The Auto;
Special Votes On New Subscribers Ceases On
January 18th. Votes Must Be In 4 p. M Sat

AS time passes, and it is only
two weeks today, the Cimarron
News Automobile contest is be-
ginning to be a marvel in point of
OF enthusiasm throughout the en-
tire county and other sections OF
the state.
In brief, we will state that when
total OF 500, 900 votes will have
been received at this Office the
beautiful Metz 1914 car will be
awarded to the young lady who Sc
cures the greatest number OF votes
for subscriptions.
This plan is fair to both the cans
didate land the News. We give
away Metz car, for the sole pur-
pose of having the News represent
ed IN practically every English
speaking home in The county.
Parties desiring to become can
didates for this Metz car should
write the Cimarron News for the
necessary information and receipt
book, which will be cheerfully sent
to any address.
In zone I, Miss Edith Funke and
Miss Alma Troutman are close ri
walls, and both young ladies are us
ing their best efforts to win the
car. The people OF Cimarron are
waiting for the candidates to solic-
it more votes and many have sig
nified their willingness to assist the
candidates as much as possible.
The contest has not yet been ac-
tually started so that any one Of
the candidates are certain to win.
1t is simply a case Of steady and
incessant work that will win the
car. Everyone has as yet good
opportunity to be the successful
winner.
What the Misses Funke and
Troutman accomplished in less
than two weeks is substantial proof
OF what any one candidate can do
by getting started" To get a
startsthat's the thing. Once fairly
launched it is pleasant and exciting
and grows more exciting daily.
The duration Of the campaign
depends entirely on the candidates
and their efforts in securing votes.
Your interest IN this contest is
just what you make it, it is up tc
YOU and not Us.
The 1900 vote period expires on
January II. and all subscriptions
must positively be in this Office bt
O'Clock p. M, if they should be
credited with the special votes.
All subscriptions after that date
will be credited with 1000 votes
for each new one year subscription
and half that number for renewals

PASSENGERS Had Narrow Escape

Chicago, Sept. with several
hundred passengers, most of them
women and children, the City of Chi
cago, an excursion steamer, caught
fire early today several miles off
shore. Racing against the flames the
steamer made for the government
breakwater and the passengers were
landed a moment before the boat
sunk.
Captain Bjok declared he believed
that all had been taken off safely.
The passengers, many OF whom had
been drawn from the water were
huddled on the breakwater and later
were taken ashore on tugs and in
other excursion boats. Some express
sed the belief that several occupants
of berths had been drowned. One
man taken from the water said the
passengers had not been awakened
until a few minutes before the boat
sank. He had been asleep in his
berth and awoke only when the smoke
became overpowering.

FEEDING Catfish on Corn

Kansas has been known for a long
time as the "corn-fed" state and she
is living up to her reputation. The
latest thing in the corn-fed line is
the corn-fed catfish, about which
State Fish and Game Warden L. l..
Dyche can write as big a book as Sec
rotary Coburn has written about the
corn-fed steer. And Warden Dyche
is going to write a book about his
fish.
II knew that a catfish liked corn"
said Warden Dyche, "but l did not
know that it made such a difference
until this summer. We keep the fish
in ponds at the state hatchery and
have been feeding those in one pond
on corn bread and corn meal. 1t is
a cement-lined pond. We have fish
at other points and this summer we
have been eating catfish from all of
them. You would be surprised at the
difference between the corn-fed fish
and and the fish that live on moss
and insects. The flesh of the corn-fed
fish is winter, finer grained, smoother
and sweeter than any other catfish
meat | ever ate.
"There is as much difference be-
tween the corn-fed pond catfish and
the ordinary catfish as there is be-
tween a sirloin steak and a piece of
bulls neck. We have caught some
catfish in the river and a corn-fed
catfish beats a river catfish as much
as a sirloin steak beats a round
steak. | was never so surprised in
my life as I was at the difference in
the quality of the fish that had grown
up on corn and those fed ordinary
fish foods or that lived in streams"

Nav Tax Soft Drinks

Washington, August 31.-A stamp
tax on soft drinks as we'll as on beer
and patent medicines is contemplate
ed by members of the house ways
and means committee, which is pre-
pairing an emergency internal revenue
bill to Offset loss owing to the cur
tailment of imports. 1t is urged that
soft drinks are as much Injuries as
wines or beer. and that an equitable
distribution of the tax burden among
all consumers would be needed by
this plan.
Another suggestion is a stamp tax
of five or 10 per ent on railroad
tickets and admission to theaters.
base ball parks and other licensed
amusements. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 900 to $4,000, 900 could be rails
ed in this way.
The committee has not determined
upon a complete taxation plan as yet,
but purposes to hasten it's delibera-
tons so a bill may be introduced
soon after President Wilson address
es congress on the subject, which
probably be on his return from New
Hampshire.
