merly policewoman Of Grand Forks,
has received striking recognition in
tho city oE&Houston, Texas. where Mrs.

work during the war, according to
word received in Grand Forks.
When Mrs. Blough went to Houston
to take up tho W. c. c. s. work she
was assigned to work among the col
ored ome She found a general
spirit of skepticism among the Off
Gals and citizens of Houston, as to
the possibility Of doing efficient work
along this line. This feeling it was
necessary to overcome before the
work could be carried out in a way
productive of good results.
So thoroughly did Mrs. Blough ac-
complish her difficult TASK however,
and sc thoroughly were the people of
Houston impressed with the value Of
her work that, according to a, letter
the work which she instituted at
Houston for the W. c. C. S. has been
taken up by the city. and will be run
on a permanent basis as a municipal
enterprise.
Mrs. Blough is now in Chicago
where she is in charge of the w. c.

Several Contestants Jump TO
Better Positions During.
Last Days.
The standings are advancing rapid

The standings are advancing rapid
~, and If you want to have a good
standing during the remaining days Of
the campaign send in some vote certi-
ficates. The standings will change
but three moro times before the final
standings appear. A number Of sub
scriptions, yesterday brought about,
several. unexpected changes in. the
auto. list. At least. two persons, it
now appears, were crowded on this
list of. leaders. No less. than. four
itself. Two. new names are there for
the first time. We are speaking about
actual positions now. not those that
are published. The warning that has
been reiterated for several days,
namely, that hard work is required if
positions. are to be held, was never
more strikingly apt than 1t is now.
There are many scores up in the list
within 100000 votes of each other.
One two years subscription would
more than make up that difference.
But If it is to the interest Of the con-
testant with the 100000 less votes to
work in order to gain the position Of
the one above him, how much more
Is tito the interest of the one with
LOT, 900 more also to speed UP and
keep away from the pursuer?. The
one pursued is in danger, Of losing
something he has practically secured
"a far more srievous affair thar. to

In order that you MAJ understand
how the contest looks now, assume
that A. has the highest actual. stand
ing. B. the next highest. G the third,
and D.. the fourth, and so on. :. A. has
a very clear. task cut out. that Of
holding his place. B. has two jobs
one to overtake A, and-the other to
keep c. from overtaking him. c..

also keep ID. from passing him.
not completely convincing to you is
that o don't know what position
you hold: You don't know just where
you would stand il. all the withheld
vote certificates. were turned. in.
But the principle Of the description
is so absolutely exact. There are
about four in the auto list-that is
four who would get autos II the con-
test should close now-who are in
danger Of losing unless they continue
very. active during the remaining days
of the campaign.
In consideration Of the unusual
closeness OF. the. scores it is impera:
tive that you make the next three
days count. heavily. If you want to
stand we'll in the list during the next
three days send or bring some vote
certificates. All. outstanding vote GER
tiicates must be sent to the campaign
manager not later than Saturday
night, so that they may be deposited
in the sealed ballot box. Subscrip-
