ders Will be issued on we'll known
Minneapolis stores and will be given
as district prizes. After the automo-
biles and merchandise orders have
been distributed, each active candi-
date who does not receive one of the
above mentioned awards will receive
a commission of 10 per cent on all sub
scriptions he or she has turned in
during the campaign.
The Progress Club campaign starts
today and will close on April II. Any
man or woman, boy or girl, may join
the club except employees of The Irish
Standard or members of their imme-
diate families. All one has to do to
join the club is to fill out the entry
blank found on another page of this
issue and send it to The Irish Stan
dard. All the necessary receipt books
and printed matter will be furnished
free.
The best part of The Irish Standard
Progress Club is the fact that every
one who takes part will receive a
prize or a cash commission on all sub
scriptions turned in. 1t is sure thing
for everyone who takes part will re-
ceive an award, new automobile, a
merchandise order, or cash.
How Prizes Will Be Distributed.
The awards will be given in the fol-
lowing order: The candidate who
secures the largest list of votes in the
| field at large will receive the Stude-
baker touring car, this will be known
as the first Grand Prize. The candi-
date who secures the second largest
list of votes in the field at large will
receive the Maibohm touring car and
this will be known as the second
Grand Prize. The candidate who Sc
cures the third largest list of votes in
the field at large will receive the
Ford touring car and this will be
known as the third Grand Prize. After
the automobiles have eliminated from
the list, then the highest candidate
in each Of the three districts will re-
ceive SIS merchandise order. The
next candidate in each of the three
districts will each receive a $50 mer-
chandise order. The next highest can
didates in each of the three districts
will each receive a $25 merchandise
order. After all the prizes have been
awarded then each active candidate
not receiving prize will receive a
cash commission of 10 per cent on all
subscriptions turned in during the
campaign.
A Short Campaign.
There are two ways of casting votes
in The Irish Standard Progress
Club" one is by clipping the voting
coupons that will appear from time to
time in The Irish Standard and send
ing them in before the time limit ex
pires. The other is by securing paid
in advance subscriptions to the Irish
Standard from old or new readers.
The Irish Standard Progress Club
will not be a long drawn out cam
paign, it will last but 10 weeks, and
those who make an early start will
have all the best Of it. They will be
able to secure a lead that will be
hard to overcome by those who joi1
later. Another thing that will be well
to remember and that is when your
friends see your name in the list they
will save their votes for you.
The Irish standard., 1920-02-07

BY sending in subscription with
your Entry Blank you will receive
$4,000 extra votes. A renewal of an
old subscription will do this if you
cannot get new one conveniently.
1t is the desire of the management
that every active man and woman
reader of The Irish Standard either
join the Progress Club" or send in
the name of some one from their
nefghborhood who would become a
candidate. 1t will not require much
time to win prize in the Progress
Club. All that is necessary is little
ambition. Your friends will be glad
to help you.
The names of those who take part
will be published during the cam
paign; the first list will appear in the
near future. Be sure your name is
in that charter list.
Pioneer in Northwest.
The Irish Standard made its first
appearance in the Northwest IS years
ago. 1t was established by Edward
and John O'Brien, who disposed of the
property in March, 1913. The latter
died in this city last June. The for.
mer, still active in the affairs Of life,
has word. of cheer for the paper to
which he gave the best years of his
life.
| During the years of Ireland's strug-
gle for freedom from its tyrannical
prosecutors the present day presents
the most spectacular in it's history, one
that has aroused the interest of every
fair minded man and woman through
out the world. With that Isle of
Paradise under martial rule by their
severe oppressors it's sons and daugh-
ters have sent out an appeal of mercy
that has been heard throughout the
civilized world.
Help Irish Cause.
The work of financing the cause of
Irish Freedom rests largely upon the
descendants of the Irish race. It is
the duty of every man and woman
with Irish blood in their veins to help
in the work.
The Irish Standard will do it's share
in spreading Irish propaganda through
out the Northwest and it is the hope
of The Irish Standard that it's circula-
tion will reach the home of every
friend Of Irish Freedom, in the terri
tory in which it circulates.
Confidence In Readers.
In announcing the Progress Club"
today The Irish Standard places its
absolute confidence in the readers and
friends of The Irish Standard. The
life blood Of a newspaper is it's circu-
lation. During the war The Irish
Standard discontinued its circulation
promotion work, and during the recon
struction period that has followed the
shortage of white paper has seriously
handicapped the supply Of print paper,
but now that conditions are again
reaching normal stage, the size Of
The Irish Standard will soon be ma
terially increased. It is our desire
to serve our patrons In a more useful
way in the future.
On other pages of this issue COM
plete announcement of the Progress
Club" will be found. Read it over
carefully and I'LL out the entry blank
for yourself or one Of your friends.

We've talked a lot about the

We've talked a lot about the
cost; no opportunities we've
lost to make a few remarks ;
we've told how we have felt the
pinch, and called for hempen
ropes to lynch the prohteering
sharks. Now comes the gentle
spring again, when earnest, sane
and thoughtful men will cease
to rend their duds, quit yawp-
ing by the village pound, and
spade up fourteen rods of
ground, and plant a lot of spuds.
A garden full of useful greens,
of sparrowgrass and lima beans,
is much to be desired; garden
where the squashes thrive and
beets are seen in blocks of five,
will make the cost look tired. A
bed of onions by the fence is
better evidence of sense than
many frenzied yawps; and moth
ing finer is in sight than is the
gardeners delight, when har-
vesting his crops. The country's
full OF fertile earth; all kinds Of
soil, of sterling worth, is strewn
around our shacks; and in that
soil let's plant some peas and
Brussels sprouts and things like
these, and thus get down to
tacks. When to their gardens
men repair, and gather luscious
pumpkins there, and carrots red
and fine, and turnips full of
wholesome juice, and cabbage
heads that beat the deuce, the
cost takes in its sign.
