TOMORROW IS LAST DAY OF THE SECOND PERIOD:
CLUB MEMBERS URGED TO MAKE MOST OF Time LEFT
Locked Ballot Box Will Be Placed Northern National
and Club Members in Campaign Are Poll Their
There After Tuesday.

Tomorrow is the last sday of the
second period. And it is the last op-
portunity you will have to get the
larger number of credits for sub
scriptions. A little effort. today will
mean many subscriptions for you if
used in the right direction. Many
of your friends are waiting to see
what you are going to do and what
your chances Of winning are going
to be, and now that you stand a good
chance Of winning, they will be will
ing 10 help you.
The leadership in this race right
now is worth big money to you-it is
important AS the campaign grows
older the competition grows keener
and~as competition becomes keener it
is important that you hold your own
against all corners, to be assured of
one of the grand capital prizes.
Make the most Of every remaining
hour Of this second period. There is
still time for you to secure several
additional subscriptions before the
second period closes. ByIgoing after
one and two year subscriptions you
can easily secure enough subscrip-
tons to give you sufficient credits to
lead the entire campaign
Get every subscription you can.
Pay no attention to what others may
OF may not be doing. What they do
won't win for you. Make your final
effort in this second period as large
as possible, and bring or send in your
subscriptions to The Pioneer not later
than O. o'clock Tuesday night.

1t is a strange oincidence-some-
thing unusual in affairs of this kind,
but several of the leading club men,
bers benefited so equally in the num-
Der of credits received that without
hair line figuring it is almost impos-
sible to determine who the real lead
er is. The competition, therefore, so
far as the relative standing of some
of the club members are concerned,
is practically where it was when the
campaign started. Hence, the strug-
gle for supremacy will be fought out
during the remaining few days of the
campaign. It depends almost entire
ly upon the results obtained between
now and Saturday, October goth, as
to who the ultimate winners will be.
This is the last time that the cam
paign manager will accept >subscrip-
tons or credits from any of the club
members, and after Tuesday night
club members will have to deposit
their subscriptions and money in the
ballot box at the Northern National
bank, where it will be placed We'd
nesday morning by the gentlemen
who have kindly consented to act as
judges, and the key retained by one
of them until the last night, when
the judges will open the ballot box in
full view Of the club members and
their friends, and will then make out
the credits, do the final counting and
make the awards.
This means that after Tuesday The
Pioneer will have no more to do with
the handling of the campaign than
any outsider, and this is done to in

LEGAL Gridders Are Still in
District Race With 6 too
Victory Saturday
BEMIDJI SCORES ON
INTERCEPTED PASS
Hubbard County Eleven Never
Within Striking Distance of
Bemidji's Goal

The Bemidji high school football
eleven won it's third game of the sea-
son when it defeated the Park Rapids
high school eleven Saturday after
noon on the local field in a hard but
cleanly fought game, Coach Smiths
warriors being forced to struggle for
every inch of ground to gain to o
victory over Coach McCallum's war
riors and remain in the running for
the championship of Northwestern
Minnesota.
The game was one Of the most stub
born tussles witnessed this season by
high school supporters.
Teams Were Even
The teams were more than evenly
balanced The boys were apparently
about the same size and weight. Dur
ing the entire game, the Hubbard
county eleven was never in striking
distance of Bemidji's goal, the locals
having things more or less their own
way. The greater portion of the time
the oval was chased back and forth
in the Park Rapids territory, with the
visitors playing a defensive game.
Park Rapids was able to make it's
distance but once during the entire
game and that was on forward pass,
which was one of the two that they
completed during the game. The first
half ended a scoreless tie, although
Bemidji had several beautiful oppor-
tunities, losing the ball on poorly di-
rected plays or fumbles.
Rhea Tears Off 65 Yards
Shortly after the start of the third
quarter Park Rapids attempted for
ward pass which Rhea Intercepted
on Bemidji's 35Ayard line and sprinted
IS yards for the only score of the
game. A pretty piece of work on the
part of Virgil Sullivan made it pos
sible for Rhea to have clear field,
when the former spilled would-be
. Park Rapids tackler. Baney missed
the attempt at goal. Shortly after
the next kickoff Park Rapids was
forced to punt. Bemidji started a
steady march down the field from the
Bcmidji 4O-yard line and never once
failed making it's distance. With the
ball on Park Rapids 2-yard line Davis
smashed through right tackel, but
fumbled the ball behind the goal
line, Park Rapids recovering the bali
for touchback, the ball being put in
play on their 20-yard line. The third
quarter ended soon after.
In three plays Park Rapids was
able to make but four yards and was
again forced to punt Bemidji started
a steady march down the field with
out being stopped until they reached
the visitors 5-yard line, and the ball
went to Coach McCallum's boys. Park
Rapids at once punted out of danger.

Strike Situation
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 24.-(By Her
bert Walker) High officials of the
American Federation of Labor are OPP
posed to a rail strike at the present
time, it was learned today.
Every effort will be made by fed
Grafton leaders here to discourage
strikes by other groups of union labor
in sympathy with railroad workers.
President Samuel Gompers and
other leaders of the federation, ac-
cording to high officials, believe
strikes at this time will cause organ
lied labor to lose many of the adj
vantages gained during the war and
will not bring any permanent bene-
fetal results.
In fact, labor leaders here think
industrial interests will welcome
strikes as a means of breaking up or
