WOMEN WILL WIN CHRISTMAS WILL BE REWARDED
o

Boise and the territory covered by
The Capital News is all enthusiasm
nof. All candidates are working with
the idea of securing IA commanding lead
early in the campaign and, with the
number of new candidates who start
each day The Capital News Grand
Christmas Gift Distribution is holding
the position of greatest interest in
this section Of the country. 1t is easy
to see why such great interest has
been aroused. for there never has been
anything half so attractive offered in
this section, and the assurance to
everyone that she is certain to receive
a reward for her efforts has caused
many and many Il candidate to deter
mine that she will devote all her spare
time to the campaign during the short
time it viii run. And well might they
make up their minds to do their best,
for the rewards offered are on so grand
a scale as to seem almost beyond be-
lief, yet they are actualities, and will
GO TO THOSE WHO 30 THE BEST
WORK DURING THE TIME OF THE
CAMPAIGN. EVERY GIFT WILL GO
TO SOME WORKER AND THOSE
WHO Do THE BEST WORK WILL
WILL THE BEST GIFTS.
NEW ADDITIONS DAILY.
Each and every day witnesses the
entry of new candidates into the race
and everyone of these is determined to
make her campaign an overwhelming
success from start to finish. With all
these enthusiastic young women par
tcipatinE actively in INC race there is
bound to be n close finish. giving all
an equal chance and leaving the re
suit up to the earnest ones, and tho
daily progress Of candidates. as shown
by the totals of votes, IS being eager
~ watched by thousands of people
Each candidate has ner own circle of
friends no are aiding her in the race,
and these are naturally anxious to see
her advance. The votes ana subsCrip-
tons are coming in in large numbers
and from all parts of tho territory en-
braced, showing the deep interest in the
campaign.
NO ONE CAN LOSE.
The big feature Of the campaign is
that no one can lose in this race. Tho
offer of cash commission on new sub
scriptons to each active candidate who
does not claim a regular gift assures
each and every candidate an adequate
rccomnense for her efforts during the
campaign. This is new and liberal
feature that is being thoroughly appre-
ciated by every candidate.

NEW AND OLD SUBSCRIPTIONS

Candidates should bear in mind that
there is a difference between "NEW''
and OLD" subscriptions. A person
who was taking the paper, either by
mail or carrier, at the start of the cam
paign is an "old" subscriber, whether he
or she is paying arrearages, or paying
in advance, or for the current time,
while a person who was not taking the
paper at that time is a new sub
scriber. But changing the name of the
subscriber to another at the same ad-
dress does not constitute a new" sub
at one address and starting it at an
other. All subscriptions will be veri-
fled and candidates are asked to OBJ
serve these rules in order that they
may receive full credit for all sub
scriptions. In order to make the cam
paign absolutely fair to all concerned.
We insist that these rules be followed.

ton with the campaign that is not

Are \ gu Grateful

All thoughtful Americans at the
recent thanksgiving season have
had their minds directed to the bles-
sings that have been vouchsafed us
as a nation in comparison with the
terrible conditions prevailing IN
about all Of the other civilized
nations Of the globe. And the fact
that a portion Of the abundance we
enjoy has been promoted by the
histories and suffering of Europe,
although we have had no hand in
ficting the dis. asters upon that
afflicted people. The very wealth
Of our abundance will prove a curse
to US unless we give as freely to
worthy causes needing assistance
as we ourselves have received. One
Of these worthy causes to which we
are asked to extend a helping hand
is the Red Cross association. See
that every gift of love that you
send to friend or relative is marked
with one of these little indications
Of love for humanity.
Buy some seals.

Ortonville Journal: The first
deaths by drowning which have
occurred on Big Stone Lake for
some time came Sunday afternoon
between four and five o'clock, when
Julius Hadrick and a thirteen year
old son of William Bowman, who
resided on the Dakota shore across
from Bonanza Park, skated through
some honey combed ice. and were
dro owned. 1t is reported that one
of the boys chung to the ice for
some time after skating in. but
succumbed to the cold and sank
before aid could reach him. The
bodies were recovered by n Of
the Hornstein boys. the last one
being found shortly before the
arrival of the coroner at 8 p. m.
At no time since the lake froze
over has it been entirely safe for
skating or ice boating, owing to
the urusally warm weather which
has prevailed, and it is a matter
for surprise that no other serious
accidents have been reported.
