'VIEWCONTESIANTS
Last Published Standing for
the Year in the Great Vote
Getting Contest,

Today the Review publishes the
final standing of the year for the
contestants who are striving for the
Automobile, Diamond and five other
prizes. The next standing will show
who has won the twenty -six-piece
silver set for having attained the dis
tinction Of getting the largest mum
Der of votes during the month of
December.
The standing as published today
shows contestant number 25 in the
lead with margin Of about 90
900 votes over 240, the second con-
testant. The other numbers remain
practically unchanged since the last
standing.
After this week there will be just
two months left of the contest. Just
two months until some lucky person
will be driving a 1917 Ford Touring
Car around with out having spent
one cent to secure it. Some other
fortunate person will be the proud
possessor Of a beautiful Diamond
worth two hundred dollars, and
which would be worth more than two
hundred dollars in the next genera
ton. Diamonds do not deteriorate in
value.
Other contestants will win, "a din
ing room set, wardrobe trunk
suit, an Administer
rug and a four burner oil stove. And
then there are the silver sets for the
months Of January and February.

this work does not add one cent to
the cost of the printing to the buyer,
so see all of the firms and individ-
uals possible and attempt to get
their votes on job work This field is
wide open in which you may work.
The schedule Of the votes pub
lished yesterday shows that it is. best
to get yearly subscriptions. They
count ten thousand votes, or if taken
in connection with the sale of a
guaranteed Fountain Pen it counts
twenty-five thousand votes. A SUBJ
scription for three months counts
but one thousand votes and it would
take ten of these orders to equal one
yearly subscription.
The competition is pretty keen for
the special December prize which is
q beautiful 26-piece silver set in a
beautiful case. This prize win 60 to
the contestant who gathers in the
most votes in December, provided
they have not already won one Of
these sets. The winning Of this set
will not prevent you from winning
one of the major prizes. On the
contrary it will help you toward
the final goal, for it means that you
have been at work, and work is what
will win. Due to the fact that the
Review will not be published on
which is Xmas day, the next
of the contestants will be
published on Tuesday or Wednes-
day.

Keynote Of Christian.
lily Is Simplicity
Father Souby Ask His Hear
ers at Midnight Mass to
Emulate the GaIilean

When services opened at the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church at
1915 Sunday night, Father Souby
was greeted by an audience which
completely filled the large edifice,
and a number were standing. The
music accompanying the mass was
beautiful.
During the course of his talk of
the evening, the priest made some
strong remarks in the interest of
peace. Taking as text the words
ION Earth Peace to Men Of Good
WILL" he made it plain that the peo-
pie who were Of good will would al
ways have peace. He said that was
far better to yield point when you
knew that you were right in order
to preserve peace.
Father Souby said that the key
note of Christianity was it's simpli-
city. He admonished his audience to
be common in the manner that the
Saviour was common, drawing a dis
tinction between this and the COM
moness which was suggestive Of vul-
garity. He also took occasion to call
the American people to task for the
manner in which they pampey and
spoil their children, saying that it
would be far better to teach them
self denial
The priest extended his greetings
in the strongest possible manner. to
the non-Cathoics who attended the
service.

If you have thought that you were
too far behind and could not win
you had better take another hold

the lead will not be hard to over
come.
