The contest has progressed to a
point where it has become vitally i'm
portant to contestants that the "prom-
ised" help materialize into real coin
of the realm. Every worker has hun
dreds of promises" of help If it
should be needed. It. is needed now,
and now is the time to give it, while
big extra votes go with every SIS
worth of subscription business turned
in.
During the last week help will not
ocunt so very big as there will be no
bonus votes. The time to cash in on
promises" is NOW.
Promises, in nine cases out Of ten,
are made in good faith, the "promis-
ers' being under the impression that
help at the end of the contest will
count the highest. But this is not the
case. HELP COUNTS THE HIGH
EST WHILE THERE ARE BONUS
OR EXTRA VOTES GIVEN. NO
EXTRA VOTES WILL BE AWARD
ED DURING THE LAST DAYS OF
THE CONTEST.
Another Big Extra Vote.
For the present week, ending at
200 o'clock, August 10th, a 100000
Extra Vote Coupon goes for every
$500 in subscription business turned
in. AS these bonus votes grow small
ler each week, it behooves every candi-
date to impress it upon all friends
that the help they have promised
MUST COME NOW to do the most
good.
That Second Prize.
All workers have their eyes on the
Ford, which is, in truth, splendid
reward for the best work in this cam
paign, but they should not lose sight
of the Pathe, the second prize. 1t is
beautiful piece of furniture, a pre-
eminent musical instrument. This,
our second prize can be seen at Kings
tree Furniture Co. Our third and
fourth prizes, a Solid Gold Bracelet
Watch and a Pearl Necklace, either of
which will make some proud winner
happy, are on display by T. z. Bag
gett, jeweler.
Mrs. Vause Wins.
In spite of the good work of sew
eral of the contestants, Mrs. Vause
still holds first place, and was award
ed the $500 given this week for the
greatest number of subscriptions
turned in. Miss Claudia Taylor still
holds second place but is closely fol-
lowed by Miss Flora Smith.
Another 5 Dollars
Five Dollars will be awarded on
next Tuesday to the candidate turn
ing in the greatest number of sub

So far as l have been able to observe, there is no equal suffrage
movement IN France in the sense that you in America regard a movement
From earliest times the women in France have always held q high position
IN the community They have taken N active part in business projects,
and the professions have always been open to them. They have been
prominent iii literature, science, and art Indirectly they have exerted
great influence o the political life Of the country. Consequently there
has been no pronounced movement for equal rights in France such al has
been started elsewhere.
The women of France are not anxious to vote # to be elected to
office. Therefore I am not of the opinion that suffrage will gain Roadway
in my country. Nevertheless l am watching with great interest the
progress of the women Of other countries. We admire your progressive
ness and are interested in the experiment Of sending women to congress,
of giving them seats on the bench. This is, of course, in line with your
advancement and liberal ideas. But our own traditions, our social and
racial conditions, ire very different.
l find no cause for anxiety regarding the competition of the sexes in
business. Women who had taken mems jobs on the outbreak of the war
are gladly r~eGnquishing them, and peace adjustment is coming without
bitterness.
Was it not Ellen Key who avowed that even if the sufragst was striv-
ing to be free she was making a mistake if she thought the vote would free
her from the limitation of nature? Women cannot pass beyond those
limits without interfering with the rights of nature and the potential
child. Woman, of course, has a right to avoid marriage, and to allow her
self to be turned into a third sex, provided she finds in this her greatest
happiness. But when all is told, motherhood is the central factor of
existence for most women.
