BARGAIN DAYS IN BIG
/ SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN
profit Sharing Club" Is Business Organization and These Are
Bargain Days-Big Double Credit Schedule Now In Force
ONLY nine DAYS LEFT.

In less than a week and half the
Tribune's "Profit-Sharing Club" will
be thing of the past. The end is
near and no solicitor will lose single
moment from now until the close.
Every single solicitor must make his
or her time count if they expect to
earn one of the large cash bonuses.
The greatest offer Of the campaign for
long time subscriptions is now in force
and the subscriber who subscribes
during this offer will give their favor
ite solicitor double benefit.
The list Of active solicitors has
been cut down again since last week,
and today's list represents the live
wires left of the original list. Only
the solicitors who are decidedly active
remain in the race and every solicitor
on t0day's list has an elegant oppor-
tunity to earn the big bonus award.
The Tribune campaign is still CON-
paratively young and very small per-
centage OF the total volume OF busi-
ness has been received. The sub
scriptiOns will come more easily now
that the subscribers have seen what
candidates are worthy of their sup
port. Many Of the people in the terri
tory have promised some one of the
solicitors and ali such subscriptions
should be collected and cashed in on
the last offer now in force.
The end Of the. "Proflt-Sharing
Club" is near. The winner will be
the solicitor who never passes up an
opportunity to get subscriptions. 1t
is question of who has the energy to
forge ahead, the determination to win
against all odds. The solicitors who
have not put forth an effort so far and
fail to do their part are not only de.
feating their own purpose, but are dis.
appointing their friends who expect
them to work.
The judges for the count of the
credits in the Notwithstanding Club
have been selected and their names
follow:
Edwin Selvtg, of Bank of Willmar
Norman H. Tallakson, OF Kandfyoh1
County Bank.
I J. Alhart Patterson: of -Ffrat National
Bank.
The above named committee will
have complete charge of the ballot box
from the time it is locked and sealed
by the chairman Of the committee OF
judges, on Saturday morning, July 21
Each solicitor will place his or hel
own reserve credits in the ballot box
and no one has any possible way o1
finding out how many credits any so
licitor has unless the solicitor tells

JUNIOR ChAuTAuQuA
T0D0 RED CROSS WORK
Sadie Olive Powers TO Direct
ChiIdren's Activities Next
Week.

The children in their coming Jun
ior Chautauqua, to be held in the
morning from to II a. M, beginning
next Monday morning and to be direc-
ted by Miss Sadie Olive Powers of
the Leland Stanford University, will
work for the Red Cross Society.
There are numerous simple articles
that busy little hands are making all
over the country, such as handker-
chiefs, table covers, ice bag covers.
and little more elaborate are knitted
wristlets and nightingales.
The American Lyceum Bureau plan
to have box made up from each Jun
ior ChautauQua, and sent into the Red
Cross Society. The articles must be
cut and made according to specifica-
tions, as the Junior Superintendent
shall direct, but as they are simple.
some very small children will enjoy
working upon these articles.
The box, the articles having been
laundried and pressed, will be packed
the last day of Junior Chautauqua, a
list of the names, and possibly some
letters from little friends of soldiers
packed in, and the box sent of. Can
not you understand how the children
will enjoy doing this?
Tell them to begin now collecting
material: Plain white cotton cloth, 18
inch pieces, or old linen or muslin;
Indian head or old linen for napkins;
old table linen for tray cloths; old
turkish towel1ng for wash cloths;
pieces Of counterpane or heavy cloth
for scrub cloths; colored flannel may
be used for dust cloths; white or
bleached cotton or outing flannel;
and two yard pieces Of daisy cloth
for night1ngales.
The only requirement is that such
material be freshly clean in case of
necessity for immediate use. am
sure the interest of the community,
particularly the ladies, will take an in
terest in looking thru their stores for
contributions to the Junior Red Cross
box, and If any should be disposed to
purchase and contribute such mater
ial, it will be greatly appreciated.
There will be in addition the usual
games and stories.
The ch1ld's season ticket admits to
the Junior chautauqua as well as to
the regular sessions, and costs only
one dollar. Make that little boy or
girl happy by giving him or her
ticket.
