ONLY A FEW HOURS LEFT
 TODAY IS LAST DAY

There are only a few hours left in The Age-Herald and Essanay motion picture |campaign to decide who are actually the
 most popular young ladies in Alabama and the ones to go to Chicago and the
 |Essanay studio to be filmed in an Essa- nay motion picture which will be given Ia general release and appear in the prin-
 cipal theatres all over the world.
 The campaign will closely promptly at
 Q clock Saturday night at the office of The Age-Herald. No votes or subscrip- |tions will count that are received at this office after the closing hour. The honors |of winning this campaign are Of almost unlimited value and the value of the motion picture parts and opportunities that go with them cannot be determined lin money. Those who are in the cam
 |paign to win will do well to exert every
 effort from now on to get all the sub
 scriptions and money possible.
 The Age Herald wiehes 1t were pos-
 sible for all of the candidates to win, as many have worked hard in the cam paign. but only five principal awards
 can be made, because the feminine
 parts in the photoplay are limited to
 five. and this was the original agree ment with tho Essanay company, who will produce the film.
 The campaign has been interesting and filled with a friendly rivalry. But more agreeable and ladylike contest
 ants could not be found in any cam paign. Many a close position of stand
 ings has been laughed over at the bal
 loting and the next days efforts were
 renewed with grit and determination.
 This is the final day Five of the fair est and most popular young ladies of Alabama will be declared by the read CTS of The Age-Herald as the winners of a two weeks trip to Chicago and the Essanay studio, all expenses paid by The Age Herald. Who wins?

 CAMPAIGN EDITOR


 belief the campaign Is all over. The campaign will not be over in any dis trict until the polls have closed to- night at 9 o'clock. Every facility will be afforded the contestants for get ting their subscriptions and votes into The Age-Herald office. Experience teaches us there will be crowd around the office when the close of the polls approaches. In spite or all the warnings that have been given, it may be assumed some of the candf- dates will put off getting their sub scriptions and votes in until the last minute. but the campaign editor would again warn them that ample allowance be made for possible accidents.
 Votes and subscriptions will be re- ccived tonight at The Age-Herald of flee until 9 o'clock. and no longer. There will be no difficulty in receiv- ing votes and subscriptions that are brought in within reasonable time before D. m.. but it must be remem- bercd that there will be crowd around the office and 1t will not be easy to get through at the last minute. FINISH IN HANDS

ONLY CANDIDATES
 KNOW STRENGTH

That makes it impossible for any
 body but the candidate to know what her strength may be or what changes
 have taken place in the standing of
 contestants since the. last count was
 made for publication
 For all the campaign editor knows. |soine of the candidates who were not lin the running at all Friday at p.
 m. may now have enough votes in the ballot box to give them prominent
 place.
 But speaking of rumors, there were
 |rumors of dark horses yesterday that
 were quite worthy of credence. In some
 |of the districts there were openings
 that simply yearned for dark horses
 Many candidates came up well on the Hist. The contest editor knows noth- ling of the details of these fresh starts

The Best Tent.

Twenty different types of tents were
recently tested by the War Depart
ment in camp near Washington. AS
a result all the branches OF the United
States Army are now equipped with
cavalry tents which were pronounced
best fitted for army needs. These shell
ter tents seem small to the civilian
who is now being initiated into army
methods. but they are luxury to the
hardened campaigner. who is glad of
any sort of weather protection.
The cavalry tent is sixty-five inches
in length and sixty-one inches wide at
the base. II is forty-three inches high
at the ridge. sloping to the ground
upon each side. 1t is hardly possible
for the average man TO sit up in one
of them Each Is provided with guy
ropes at each end over seven feet in
length and has eight aluminium tent
hooks TO fasten II to the ground on
the sides.
A colIapsible ridge pole is also pro-
vided, but this is not an essential The
old soldiers prefer to use muskets and
in many cases one of these small tents
will shelter two men. although the
present authorities favor providing one
for each individual soldier. They are
Of lightweight duck or khaki, so as
not to add materially to the burden to
be carried. and are practically water
proof.

GRAIN LANDS ARE GAINED
BY TEUTON|C INVADERS
Kovno Province Fertile Farms Pro-
ducing Great Crops and
Much Cattle.
Lithuanians Comprise Three-Quarters
of Population-Cities Are Small
and Unimportant.

"a great addition to the grain neios
of the Teutonic powers has peen ae
complished with the capture of the
fruitful country comprised in the gov
eminent of Kovno." says statement
on war geography just issued by the
National Geographic Society. Highly
developed estates stretch throughout
this government. the greatest part OF
whose area consists of rich farm lands.
Harvests unvaryingly produce an album
dance here and before the outbreak
of the war the farmers of Kovno ex-
ported to their German neighbors large
Quantities of grain. meat. milk, butter.
cheese and fowl. Here Russia wore an
air of general well being and progress,
which contrasted sharply with the
marsh and poverty blighted lands to
the south.
More than so per cent Of the surface
of Kovno government is yearly under
crops and much of the remaining area
Is devoted to the grazing of herds.
Wheat, rye, oats, barley and potatoes
have been exported in increasing bulks
after each succeeding harvest, and the
methods of farming have steadily i'm
proved, almost keeping pace with the
intensely cultivated farms in neighbor-
ing East Prussia. The soil is a very

Dairying Famous.

''Dairying has achieved a fame in the
government almost equal to that of Den
marks or Finland's dairying. The butter
produced here completes with that offered
by the Firms. and with all but the best
and most expensive buffers offered by
Denmark. Butter trains daily gathered
the products of the Kovno diaries before
the war for the brisk markets Of Berlin.
Fine cattle and horses bred on kovno
estates have attracted considera BILE Euro
pean attention during recent years, the
Russian animals vying successfully for
points with those raised upon the famous
farms of East and West Prussia.
In sections Of the government where
numerous lakes and ponds are sprinkled,
geese have been grown for market on
scale almost as great as that in the
goose breeding districts of Poland. The
feathers and geese were largely mar
keted in Germany, where goose, roast
ed goose, forms a national excess. and
the feathers enter inextricably into the
national idea of bedding.
"Kovno has an area of Il S87 square
miles Its surface is level almost 10 un-
broken monotony, for it continues the I'M
enlivened plain of East Prussia. There
are a few meager hills in the government,
elements of two low ridges which nowhere
exceed 500 feet in height above sea level.
The largest part of the government has
been brought under the plow, though more
than 20 per cent is forested. There are
some unimportant marshy areas in the
central and southern parts. The climate is
relatively mild, when compared to other
parts of Russia The mean temperature
at the city of Kovno, capital and first
class fortress, is "A degrees Fahrenheit

No Industrial DEVELOPMENT.

There is practically no industrial de-
velopment in the region. Nearly all OF
the Inhabitants are engaged in agri-
culture, while commerce. river naviga-
ton, fishing. forestry and home indus
try and milling also claim smaller
percentage. The government enjoys
considerable transit trade, and a sig
nfflcant part Of the German export to
Russia poured through Kovno before
war days through the customs offices
at Yerburg and Tauroggen, which, on
account of the German trade, were
ranked among the most important Of
fees of the empire. Lithuanians COM
prised nearly three-quarters of the
population. with Jews and Poles the
peoples of next numerical Importance
A sprtnkling Of German and Russian
landlords also took an influential part
IN the life of the government. The
cities are very small and Of little in
