1.-THE EAGLES WINGS"

Party lines were obliterated by
the fight in Congress over the May
nard preparedness measure. Senator
Wright, millionaire pump manufac-
turer, is leader of the opposition.
Richard Wallace, foreman of
Wright's works, is in love with Mona
Wright, but her fathers opposition,
based largely on Wallace's enthusi-
asm for preparedness, is an insur-
mountable obstacle to Wallace's am
bition.
While the Maynard Bill is under
discussion before Chairman
Wright's committee, Wallace goes to
the border to establish pumping
system on the ranch of Senator
Wright's son. Responding to an in
vitation to visit his sons ranch, the
Senator indefinitely adjourns consi-
Iteration, in committee, of the May
nard Bill and leaves for New Mex
leo. While Senator Wright is on the
border Mexican bandits make raid,
and Wright and the other men are
forced to give vigorous battle in de-
tense of their loved ones.
Wright wires to the War Depart
ment to send an army to defend the
border. The Department answers
that it has no army. Wright, now

GET SUBSCRIPTIONS
TO WIN Prize
Only q Few Weeks Left Of
The Great Thousand
Dollar Contest

The time remaining in the great
Review contest is short, and it is
essential that contestants who ex-
pect to win one of the seven prizes
work every available hour in the in
terest of their candidacy. There is
one thing to do and that is work.
There is but one way to secure votes
and that is to get subscriptions to
the daily and weekly Review. It will
increase the number of votes on
either a daily or weekly subscription
if a gold point guaranteed Barnett
Fountain Pen is sold in connection
with the subscription, however, it
must be remembered by the contes-
tants and the public that contes-
tants are not at liberty to take a
single order for these pens unless it
is in connection with a bona-fide
subscription order, or a renewal for
the daily or weekly Review.
Have you stopped to consider the
quality of each one of these seven
prizes in the Review contest? Many
people wonder how this paper can
give such splendid prizes away for a
little of the spare time of the con-
testants, and say will they really be
given away? To this question the
Review gives positive assurance
that each and every prize will be
given away to the successful con-
testants as soon after March LIST as
the votes can be tabulated. This
should take but few hours. After
the prizes are awarded there viii
be many contestants who dropped
out early in the game who will be
surprised and realize that one of
the prizes might have been theirs
had they stuck to it and worked.
One contestant asked yesterday if
there was going to be another silver
set to be given away in January.
There will be set exactly like the
one given away last month and it
will 60 to the contestant who gets
the most votes during the present
month, unless he or she has already
won one Of these sets. However, the
