OFFER RENEWED
Two Months New Subscription
Offer Renewed for Another
Week. Will Positively Close
August 4th. This Is Big
Week in the Contest.

The contestants for the past two
weeks nave been active and large
gains were made. Miss Currier
overcame the strong lead of Miss
Morse and went to the head of the
list with margin of nearly 100000
votes. This was remarkable. 1t
shows what may be dore by steady,
persistent effort. Miss Humphrey
made great gains and at any time
may advance to the head of the list.
She gives another illustration of
what can be accomplished by con-
tinuous, earnest work.
We are we'll pleased with the
work done during these last two
weeks and shall continue the two
months new subscription offer this
week and give the same votes, 10000
for each subscription. This offer
will close Saturday night, August 4
at 10 o'clock. Contestants should
remember these are big days in the
contest and as it draws to a close
every offer should be worked to the
utmost. This contest is one of sud-
den changes and no contestant can
be confident of winning, for any
week one who has kept behind may
take the lead. Then, too, every con-
testant must not forget the uncer-
tainty of the number of votes held
back to be turned in at the last
moment, and must work to have
votes to meet this very important
step in the contest. Thus it be-
hooves every contestant to keep con-
stantly at work, for those who do
will be the winners. Remember
this new subscription offer closes
Saturday, August 4.
There should be several hundred
new subscriptions secured on this Of
fer in the next week, and the con-
testant who secures the largest num-
ber stands the best chance to win
the $3.50 piano. Get more busy than
ever. Get your friends to work and
just say you will do your best.
Following is the standing of can
didates:

At q time when everyone IL com.
planning Of the high cost Of living it
might be well to see If we cannot elm
innate two great sources of waste-ares
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago study Of the
rat problem In Philadelphia arrived al
the conclusion that the rodents Of that
city ate more than a million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate.
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1OO,OOO,OOO per year
to the whole country. This Is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship Of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
Ill diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1016-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,981 .S48. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing In England. France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation $500, 0OO. 900 per year Is a saw
Ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost Of living.

the decision and argument before it
for consideration a foreign matter,
namely, denial to workers of the
right to quit in fuTtherance of their
just and necessary rights, has point
ed out the way to those who wish to
bind the workers to their tasks.
In my opinion this Unwarranted
prOnouncement of the supreme
court, virtually legislating, so far as
it can legislate, for the establishment
of compulsory arbitration and en-
forced service, has already done
much to make the task of demOc-
Tacy in its preparations for national
defense difficult. 1t has awakened
in the minds of millions of working
men throughout America a distrust
of the instTumentalities of govern
ment which it will be difficult to Grad
icate.
We are saying to the people:
Come to the defense of the repub-.
lie, help us in the preservation of
democracy" while these forces
which l have described are doing all
within their power to convert this
nation from a democracy into the
most distasteful of autocracies-an
industrial absOlutism.
While Russia is throwing off the
bonds of adbsolUtism and feUdalism
and has declared for the freedom of
the workers, these sinister focres are
at work in our midst using their
enormous influences to throw us
back into the dark ages Of industrial
tyranny, when the state was their
tool of oppression.
We of the labor movement have
pledged ourselves to the defense Of
our country. We are ready. to ex-
pend our last ounce of energy, to
shed the last drop of our blood if it
is necessary, for the defense of the
republic. We will not turn from our
tasks.
