clean % Week Proelamation.

During a normal year fire destroys
over three million dollars worth of
Kansas property. When the cost of
carrying on the insurance business
of the state and the expense of main
tanning fire departments and other
fire-fghting equipment is added to
this sum the total cost to the state of
Kansas is found to be nearly ten mil
lion dollars per year.
That by far the greater portion of
this tremendous fire waste is alto
gether unnecessary is now recognized
by all. Much of the damage results
from Accommodations of refuse, such
as old cloths, rags, papers, rubbish
nd other waste material IN and about
buildings of all kinds. Such accumu-
latlons are most common during win
ter months, and now with summer ap-
preaching it is a good time to clean
up and put all buildings and premis-
es IN safe and sanitary condition.
The same conditions that breed fire
breed disease. Hose waste attracts
flies, vermin and rats. Empty cans
and bottles afford breeding place
for mosquitoes Decaying stable man
ure and unhyproofed outside toilet
are the fayorite breeding places for
the typhoid fly. Thus are the ways
and means afforded for the transmits
sion OF disease and the creation of
health and fire hazards.
In order to bring about concert
ed effort all over the state for fire
prevention, the improvement of sani-
tary conditions, the prevention OF d.
sease and the identifying OF streets
and homes, Arthur Capper, Cover
nor do hereby designate the week of
April is to Fl, Cieaz-Ep Week N the
state Of Kansas and urge that every
resident of Kansas, whether he be a

With the largest vote ever polled
IN a similar campaign in this section
of Kansas, the Free Press-CapitaI
Studebaker automobile subscription
contest came to a successful close on
last Saturday night.
This campaign was without doubt
the largest and most successful ever
conducted in Ellis County, largest be
cause the prize list was the most vaIu-
able ever before offered on any paper
IN the state, successful because it pro
duced the most new and renewal sub
scriptions for the papers In the con-
test.
Successful from another stand
point, and a most important one l. e.
that it was conducted fair and square
TO each and every worker, no favors
shown, everyone had the same oppor
tunities, and this fact was attested
TO on last night when the final re
suits were announced all the con-
testants were well pleased and they
realized that Mrs. Alonzo Brumitt had
turned in the most subscriptions, that
was what the contest manager said
all along during the contest, that the
one who turned in the most subscrip-
tions would be the winner, regardless
at what time they turned them IN,
and that is the way the contest turned
out.
All the records, subscriptions stubs,
duplicate ballots etc, are on file at
the Free Press office, anyone inter
eseted may check them over if they so
desire.
The only thing to be regretted in
this campaign is that only one could
win the best prize, A. l. Clark & Son
and myself wish that we could have
given each worker q Studebaker, but
of course that being impossible we
feel sure that each one was well paid
for the work they did in the contest.
The addition of hundreds of new
names to the Free Press list, makes
this paper very valuable advertis-
ing medium to advertisers who wish
to reachthe people of Ellis County
and no doubt they will take advan-
| tage of It.
Promptly at p. m. the judges, Mr..
E. A. Rea, Rev. Snyder, Mrs. Mont
gomery and Robert Sergeant, select
ed by the contestants took the ballot
| box and began to count the votes
! that would determine the winners of
the prizes, and at p m, the fol
lowing results were announced.

cash.
1t will take some time to get all of
| the subscriptions properly started
and credited; If you are not getting
your paper; if you have not received
the proper credit within two weeks,
kindly notify the Free Press Office.
In conclusion I wish to thank each
contestant for the subscriptions that
they turned in during the contest,

ciate this business and we want you

ALLIES ARE IN DECISIVE
 ASCENDANCY Their Terrific Drive Threat ems the Entire Ger
 man Naval
 Bases. ZEEBRUGGE IN DANGER Secretary of War Baker Gives a Review
 of the Recent
 Fighting.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The de. cisive ascendancy of the Allies in the supreme test of strength in the terrific struggle that has been in progress on the bloody fields of Flanders is clearly shown in the re- suits according to statement given to The Associated Press by Secre- tary of War Newton D. Baker re- viewing the operations of the last week.
 The secretary says while it may be premature to assert that the British offensive has forced q de- finite decision over the Germans, at the same time the victories of the past fortnight are not only threat ening the Herman snBmafins biaeS on the Belgian coast, but are con, elusive indications of the superior. ity of the Allies.
 With favorable weather condi. tions, Secretary Baker thinks the recent great victories will be re- peated and the lines of the Allies extended. In the review the Sec retary points out the fact that the British are able to stop all Ger man counter attacks, after the first drive, while massing troops for a second greater smash at the Teu- ton lines.
 Slowly and irresistibly the Allied drive into the heart of the Ger man line is sweeping on. The Ger mans are now reeling beneath the great shock while the Allies are ready to deliver another blow. The Secretary in his review continues:
 "The full success of the present operations means that the Belgian coast with it's numerous submarine bases will become untenable to the enemy. Seebrugge and the 0stend system of canals leading out of Brugges are threatened.
 Contributing factors to the sue. cess of the Allies are air control and shell supplies"
 The review concludes by saying that reports from the Russian front are also more encouraging.
