ON The LAST LAP
Miss Merle Currier Still Leads
But Miss Morse Is a Close Sec
Ond. This Is just the Time To
Hustle.

Contests are always won in the
last few weeks of the race. This
has not only been the experience of
this paper, but Of every contest we
have watched. The hard work that
you are putting in now and will con-
tinue to put in until the end comes
will bring you decisive results and
the reward will be big.
1t would take a good many days
work to earn enough to pay for
$3.50 piano. Only stop to realize
this fact and the opportunity which
is easily within your grasp will seem
all the more worth while.
1t is up to you readers of this pa
per to pick tie winner-and to help
the winner by giving her your loyal
support and working with her.
1t should be impressed upon the
contestants and their friends how
great the Importance is of sending
in their new subscriptions and re-
newals often.
The offer to old subscribers is a
rosy one in fact it is the piano win
ner feature. Here is the offer.
Old subscribers who pay S1.5O if it
dates their subscription in advance
will receive 1000 tes-by paying
$500 they will receive 10000 votes;
$3.50, 1000; $500, $4,000 and $3.50,
100000. This offer will last until
the contest closes.
The two months new subscription
offer at the request of contestants is
left open for another week, but this
will closes Saturday night, August
II, at 10 o'clock and will not appear
again during the contest. There
will be given for each new yearly
subscription $4,000 votes and thsi Of
fer will remain until the close of the
contest.
Miss Merle Currier still leads but
glance at the standing of candi-
dat 5 will show how close the others
are, and no one can tell who will be
the leader next week.

The change from outdoor activity
of vacation time to the quiet of reg

uncomfortable and bilious, with a

of standing by the president than By

Schall shouted: 81 would be of lit

duty in the organization with the
light that God gave me.

HOUSE is READY
FOR BUSINESS
IN SHORT ORDER
All Officers Are Chosen and
Rules Of Order Adopted
at Initial Session
By Carl D. aroat.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April IA house fully
organized and ready for war greeted
President Wilson tonight.
In the late hours of the dav, house
members had completed election of
minor house Sfficers, adopted rules and
named committees, though some minor
committee matters were yet TO be dis.
posed of.
Chairman Flood revised resolution,
proclaiming state Of war with Ger
many and resolving upon firm prose
cution thereof ,swas dropped in the hop
per directly at fhe conclusion Of the
presidents Is speech.
Tomorrow both house and senate
committees vii laet on the resolution; (;
it viii be officially recorded; fresh
soldiers will be under call and strug-
gle that mark democracy s final step
against brutal autocracy will be an
accomplished fact
Within the capitol, an air Of strain,
subdued and grimly serious was mani
fest. Galleries were erammed. With.
out, a crowd Of pacllistsS and others
who sought admission were barred by
mounted troops and police all with
orders to use their weapons should
there be an untoward demonstration
against the president
The cavalrymen had been ordered
out at the last moment, for fear that
there might be some calamity. They
were ordered to clear the blocks near
the capitol and keep them clear during
the speech. Secret service men were
gathered through the capitol.
The first partisan fight Of the extra
session came late this afternoon when
Representative Pou proposed adoption
of the old rules. Minority Leader
Mann baked, but the adoption went
through.
War was the watchword.
Two thrilling speeches had marked
the days session. And tonight in a
sweltering, smelly congress chamber
under the glow Of imperfect lights, the
two houses met to hear the commander
in-chief. The single peace note from
the house itself had been injected q
few minutes hsfore when Socialist
London proposed in resolution that
President Wilson renew his peace sug-
gestion to belligerents.

To the south French forces in equally
strong tllrusts have advanced to within
three miles of what is supposed to be

London was expecting tremendous
fighting in this salient today. Battle
