$40O GREATER AUTOMOBILE VALUE
$I,42o Five-passenger Hupmobile Substituted
for ST. ,o2o Car-Frank c. Rupp Leads
in Published Voting List

Every day should be a big day for
each member OF the "All-Prize Club,
during the next two weeks. Why?
Because up until ten o'clock Monday
night, October ], all new subscriptions
count double votes. After October
votes decrease on all new subscrip-
tions and never again during the cam
paign will as many votes be given for
the new subscriptions. Besides double
votes the best ''vote getter" during
this period will be awarded 500 in
gold at the close of the contest, by
the judges.
This alone should spur all members
on to greater action. but this Is not
all. The Herald management is pleas
ed to announce at this time that 1t
has been able to substitute a a,420
fully equipped 1917 FIVE passenger Hup-
mobile touring car for the $1,000 Elgin.
This should be a great inducement for
any one who has been thinking about
joining the "All-Prize" Club. Any
time during the next two weeks is n
good time to join and catch up with
the leaders while the two-for-one vote
schedule Is in force.
The $500 greater car value means a
great deal to those who have been on
the job. 1t means that the member
polling the second largest number of
votes by October 20, the closing date
of the campaign. will ride of in a
s., 40 automobile instead OF a 5000
automobile. Isn't II worth a little
extra effort?
Frank c. Rupp would win the first
grand prize, the $3.50 Mitchell, IL
today was October 20. 1917. but today
is September 16, 1917.

DRIVE AGAINST WEEDS
BY CAMPFIRE GIRLS

"A special drive" against crop de-
stroying weeds is being carried on b.
the Campfire girls all over the
country during September and octo-
Der. They are first learning how to
identify crop destroying weeds and
then applying their knowledge to
eradicating them.
The aim of the Campfire Girls in
these war times is 10 save as much
of the crops as possible, in which
aim they are following the urgent
appeals of President Wilson and Food
Director Hoover. The Campfire
Girls are saving thousands of bushels
of grain and other food products
which might otherwise be ruined and
they are thus doing their share be-
hind the fighting lines to back the
soldiers at the front.

War Board Prevents
Freight Congestion

What threatened to be the worst
freight congestion in railroad history
was averted by prompt compliance
of road owners with orders from the
Car Service Commission. This was
reported last night by Fairfax Har-
rison, showing the work of the rail-
roads war board.
The catastrophe loomed up in the
month preceding September. Move
ments of grain and other products Id
the South and Southwest created an
unexampled volume of freight. Dur
ing this crisis 1l5,5152 empty cars, con-
tributed from every road in the coun-
try, regardless of ownership, were
moved into the congested areas.

DIR. REEKS WILLING TO STAY.
Will Continue Here If State Board
 Releases Him.

If the efforts of Mayor George A. Ouigley and Dr. Henry T. Eray a member of the local board of health, prove aVailing, the services of Dr. T. E.ben Rocks as superintendent Of the department in this city will be re- tained. The city executive head and the physician are planning to call upon the state board of health in Hartford in the near future, to try and persuade that body to relinquish it's claim on Dr. Reeks services as state epidemologist.
 This was confirmed by Dr. Reeks who today stated that should the state body acquise to the requests of the local representatives, he would be very glad to continue with the work he is now doing for the city. While the state body has control as yet in demanding the services of Dr. Rocks, the physician feels that he is morally bound to fill the position ne agreed to with the state board.
 Members of the health department as well as the majority of citizens in this city, are hopeful that a way may be made clear for the retention of such a conscientious official as Dr. Reeks. It has been unanim ously agreed on all sides that in securing a successor to Dr. ReCks d task con- fronted the board.

Hetman of Don CossaCkS Repudi-

Petrograd, Sept. 21.-Gen. kalc- dimes, hetman of the Don Cossacks, in a statement to the grand council of the Don Cossaclls, sitting at No- cotcherkask. repudiated his conneC- ton with Gen. Kerniloff, declaring he had only met the latter three times. He asked that cossack divisions be sent to the Don only to protect the coal industry and to keep the mines operating.
 He has no wish. he said. for separation of the Don district from the jurisdiction of the government and declared that the charges against him of rebellion arose from the fact that he was at loggerheads with the council of soldiers and workmens delegates because of his tirmness dur ing the coal mine troubles.
 On complaint of the Mohileff coun- cil of soldiers and WOrkmen's dele. gates that Gen. I<ornilOff's guard was not strict and that it made no at tempt to hide it's sympathy for the general, Premier Kerensky has or dered the Mohileff battalion to sur render the guard duties to the bat talion of the Knights of St. George.

SECOND DRAFT FOR
 RECRUIT RESERVOIRS
New ConscriptS to Be Taken to Main tain Army at Full War
 Strcngth.

Washington, Sept 22.-Because it is necessary to provide "recruit reSer- voirs'', to maintain the Regular Army, National Guard Army, and the Nation al Army at war strength, it is prob able that before the second draft force of 50O,000 men is called the War De- partment will draft an intermedlat force of from 100000 to 250,0OO men, It is expected that this will be done sometimes before January 1. The Draft law gives the President power to draft enough men to keep all the armies at maximum war strength throughout the war.
 In addition to maintaining these ar mics at war strength the War Depart ment faces the problem of supplying the men needed under the bill author izing the expansion of the Signal Corps At least 1900 men will be needed for this purpose.
 Officials of the Signal Corps have submitted to the General Staff a mem orandum requesting decision on whether these men are to be fur nished by draft or whether another campaign for voluntary enlistments shall be inaugurated. Signal Corps officers expressed the belief that they could fill the corps in time by volun- tary enlistments because of the great popularity of both branches of that arm.
 In view of the special type of men needed for the Signal Corps such as mechanics, chauffenrs, carpenters, etc., it is thought that the voluntary enlistment plan probably will not be cried The appointment of a civilian committee to select specially trained men from the drafted forces was in- terpreted today as the initial move to furnish he men needed by the Signal Corps

1nation of armed forces and on the moral force of right and on the rule of international justice and legality.
 we, too, are imbued with the hope that a strengthening of the sense of right would morally regenerate hu- manity. We support therefore, your Holiness view that the negotiations between the belligerents should and could lead to an understanding by which, with the creation of appropri- ate guarantees, ornaments on land and sea and in the air might be re- duced simultaneously. reciprocally and gradually to a fixed limit, and where by the high seas, which rightly belong to all the nations of the earth, maybe freed from domination or paramount cy. and be opened equally for the use of all.
 Fully conscious Of the importance of the prom otion of peace on the method proposed by your Holiness, namely, to submit international dis putes to compulsory arbitration, we are also prepared to enter into nego- tiations regarding this proposal.
 If, as we most heartily desire, agreements should be arrived at be- tween the belligerents which would realize this sublime idea and thereby give security to the -Austro- Hungarian monarchy for it's unhampered future development it can then not be dlfti- cult to find satisfactory solution of the other questions which still remain to be settled between the belligerents in spirit of justice and of a reason able consideration of the conditions for existence of both parties.
 'If the nations of the earth were to enter, with a desirable peace, into ne- gotiatiols with one another in the sense of your Holiness proposals, then peace could blossom forth from them. The nations could attain com plete freedom of movement on the high seas, heavy material burdens could be taken from them, and new sources of prosperity opened to them
 "Guided by a spirit of moderation and conciliation, we see in the pro- Dosals of your Holiness a suitable bas- is for initiating negotiations with a view to preparing a peace, just to all and lasting, and we earnestly hope our present enemies my be animated by the same ideas. In this spirit we beg that the Almighty may bless the work of peace begun by your Holiness
