WORK WILL NOW COUNT
Extraordinary Vote Premiums
Will Be Given Contestants
During Next Week.


We propose to make it an object
for contestants and their friends to
put in the busiest few days that
have been experienced since the con-
test started. The amount of cold
cash which we are to put into pre-
miums is so large that it is necessary
to figure the work of contestants on
a commission basis. Most of this
commission has to be charged up to
new subscribers, thus contestants
and their friends must realize that
it is necessary to secure large vol
ume of business; or in other words,
several hundred new subscribers.
We have made liberal allowance
for what will be accomplished after
the date and hour for closing the
contest is named. We need just
$3.50 on new subscription accounts
before we could feel justified in
naming the closing date. If this
amount is taken in between now and
Saturday night, July 7, at 10 o'clock
we will tell you in our next issue
just the day and hour the contest
will close.
We told you last week it would
pay you we'll to hustle. Many of
the contestants and their friends
have been diligently at work since
the announcement. This is what
we will do:
The contestants or their friends
who succeed in securing so new sub
scribers for one year each, or 25 for
two years each, or in other words,
$75 on new subscription account,
will receive a special premium of
165,00 votes. If they should do
$3.50 in new subscription business
the reward will be 10000 votes.
The contestants or their friends
who secure 80 new subscribers for
one year or Is for two years, or in
other words $45 in new subscription
business, will receive a special pre-
MUM of $4,000.
Contestants and their friends will
be rewarded on the collections from
old subscribers. The one who col.
lects from old subscribers $50 will
receive special vote premium of
165, 900. On $50 collection the vote
premium will be $4,000.
These are opportunities. The
same libeEal amount of votes will be
issued to both old and new subscrib
ers.
These offers will positively expire
Saturday night, July 7 at 10 O'Clock
Contestants, tell your friends OF
this exceptional opportunity. Ash
10 of your friends to each secure
five new subscribers. This will give
you the ICE, 900 premium vote.
Contestants should ask theil
friends who are in arrears to settle
their accounts before Saturday
night, July 7 at 10 o'clock, and hell
. them secure the premium offer OF
, old subscribers.
This is the week to do the busines
and the contestants and their friend
who are active will be literally re
warded.
The largest gain this week ha.
been made by Miss Vera Humphrey
7 Other contestants have done goot
/ work but this is the week to max
the big count.

1T IA difficult to shop nowadays and
not fall a victim to the allurtng
display of summer dresses and ma
terials that are shown in our store
windows. Once inside the portals one
IL lost among a bewfldering array oil
dainty fabrics and dress accessories,
and the temptation to add just one
more gown to ones wardrobe is well
nigh irresistible.
The woman who intends to buy a
dress, and knows what kind OF gar
ment she needs, and what material
she will require in order to secure its
success when completed, is more for
tunate in many respects than one who
while shopping buys some fabric
merely because 1t is pretty, although
having no special need Of It.
In the majority of cases II will be
found more satisfactory to decide first
the kind Of dress that is desired, then
selecting the style and pattern from
among the numerous fashion journals
before the purchase Of material Is
made. The woman who secures her
material first will generally lose her
self in a maze Of patternibooks, trying
vainly to find something that looks
like" her dress pattern.
A dress should be more than mere
covering, and no matter how humble
should be selected with every consid
Grafton as regards service and color
Very smart effects can be obtained
with very inexpensive fabrics, in art
istic combinations of colors and mate
rails. Dame Fashion has given US
carte blanche this season to color as
we choose.
Colors in dress are the natural out
growth Of the primitive custom OF be
decking the head and body with flow
ers In order to emphasize the individ
uality and attractiyeness Of the wear
err. This fact Is too often lost sight
of in this busy and material twentieth
century,
No woman needs to wear an unbe
coming color. II she will take little
time to study herself she will sooI
learn Just what tones viii add to hel
appearance, and the shades she
should avoid using.
Very fortunately we can nearly al
ways find beautiful colorings in wash
able effects as well as in the more
costly silk fabrics. It is true that our
dyes for the past few years have not
held as fast as formerly; but our man.
ufacturers have not been asleep, they
have been experimenting for years,
and with splendid results. We should
be more than satisfied with this sea-
sons offerings, especially the line Of
wash materials. ...-.

NO. 2-C0L0R COMBINATIONS
"The Best for the Least Money"

1.-THE Best for the Least Money"
Always buy the best, as it is the
cheapest in the end" has been a
very trite saying, that is repeated over
and over by numberless people. In
view of present conditions 1t would
be timely to supplement this by Al
ways buy the best that you can for
the least money" This can most GER
tainIy be applied to feminine wearing
apparel. as 1t is generally the style
and color rather than the quality Of
material that makes the price Of so
many smart toys so prohibitive.
Very often the tub fabrics have
many colors in each pattern. When
purchasing this line Of goods the
question naturally arises, What can
use to trim this?" White is the
answer. 1t can serve with almost any
combination. If the material Is wolfe
or Bingham, white wolfe is always
good, or a heavier material such as
linen or the new Devonshire cloth can
be used to advantage in giving little
extra weight to very light dresses.
Bright yellow voile can be beautifully
toned with trimmings Of medium grey.
Pink is always lovely With blue, pro-
viding the colors are much the same
in tone. This is quite essential when
combining very light shades, as they
have more Of tendency to blend and
! harmonic than more contrasting
tones. Light and dark tones used to-
| gether are very striking, and are most
effective when the darker color Is a
direct contrast to the lighter one. For
instance: A light pearl grey chiffon
trimmed with bands Of black velvet
would prove to be a stunning example
of contrasting colors and materials,
i while a gown of the same shade OF
grey trimmed with Copenhagen blue
about the same tone, could be a very
demure little frock.
A combination Of grass green and
nut brown is very effective in wash
fabrics, and to give a little more
tons Of the brown should be added.
A rose gown can be made doubly at
tractive II developed in deeper
shadings of the same color A gown
of pale lavender with both red and
blue lavender could be very lovely,
but unless the colors are chosen with
great care It would be a dismal fail
ure.
Trimming Suggestions
There was a time not so very long
ago when no, one thought of trimming
white dresses with anything but silk
sash of pink or blue, or some novelty
ribbon. Now we apply numerous

legislature is the first in the territory
which has had the opportunity to
authorize the expenditure of public
moneys. Previous legislatures since
the passage of the enabling act had no
money to spend. This was, because
the territorial taxation bill covering
fish and mines was fought by the
packers and mine owners. They
fought without avail however and, af-
ter losing in the supreme court, were
forced to go into their own pockets
this year for more than $1,000, 900.
The principal appropriation bills
were for 100000 to be expended or
roads, 100000 for coast-defense, and
$4,000 for an agricultural college a.
Fairbanks. Other measures covered
bridge construction in various road
districts, schools in incorporated
towns, schools for whites and natives

the creation of fund for the detec-
ton of crime

The laundering Of the different
colors is and always will be, more or
less of problem. To insure the best
results, all wash materials should be
immersed in clear cold water, to
which has been added a little pow
dered alum or salt. Contrary to the
opinion of many women, this seldom
takes any Of the newness away from
the fabric. When a new dress is
washed for the first time, it Is gener-
ally crushed in the ironing. The
gathers do not hang the same, and it
is not easy to make the sleeves look
smooth. When the material is shrunk,
and ironed carefully before being
made into a garment, it will be diff
cult for the uninitiated to detect the
fact that it had been tubbed Borax

But to extend the processes of de-
mocracy in the face of threatened
war is to turn in the wrong direction.
The Congress of the United States is
given theoretically the power to
make war. Practically it lies in the
power of the President, elected by a
majority of all the people, to direct
the action of Congress in this regard.
The Chief Executive alone is sup
piled with all the sources of infor-
nation necessary to a wise and
righteous decision. Whether we may
wish to trust the President with the
responsibility or not, we have to
trust him. Whatever our extreme
advocates of war may think about
him, the pacifists should be able to
understand that he will not hasten
the nation into war, and that war
will be avoided except at the sacri-
fee of that national honor and self
respect beneath which is shielded
a peoples safety and greatness"
