TRIPLE VOTES UNTIL MONDAY
Last Chance to Get Three Times the
Usual Number of Votes on
Subscriptions

The time has come when you must
bend every effort if you wish to be
one of the successful contestants in
The Advocates big prize lampaign.
Remember, all contestants are now
keyed up to a high pitch, and all are
J fully determined to win one OF the
big prizes. You cannot afford to
lose a moment when votes and sub
scriptions mean so much to you.
Determine that you will see at
least five people each day, and get a
subscription from them. See more If
possible. Remember, many battle
has been lost owing to having waited
too long and many battle has been
won through stick to-itiveness. A
good maxim to keep in mind is that
persistence and energy conquer all
things and will win one of the grand
prizes for you. The winners will be
the ones who set their mark for the
automobile and neither turn to the
right nor left, but simply have the
Sedan in mind all the time. The ones
who can say they have done their
hest will be the ones who will wear
the smiles when the big race is over.
Before,a battle general lays out a
plan and after going over it care
! fully, sees that the same is carried
out as nearly as possible.
Make your friends help you in
your battle. Plan your campaign
during the remaining days, so that
everyone will help you. A general
usually inspires confidence in his
aides and lieutenants and the energy
and spirit he shows is usually re-
Elected in his men. No general ever
won battle who went into it half
heartedly. Remember there are
plenty of people who are willing to
help a candidate who shows incli-
nation to help herself.
Go into the closing days of the
race with a vim and determination
TO win at all hazards. Plan your
campaign in systematic way, so
You won't waste any time. Call on
all those 'Tll-see- you-later" and
'T'll-help- you at -the-last" friends,
and tell them that now is the time to
make good their promises.

nellie Pangbun, application clerk
of the office here. Mr.. Coleman was
unanimously elected president for

Grafton that this club now numbers
over 1000 agents from every state in
the Union is quite a compliment to
Mr.. Coleman, his agency and Mt.

plan of the company to hold only one

point. In the future these plans have
been changed so that district meet
ings will be held at San Francisco.

Interest In Big Prize
Race Growing Intense
As End Draws Near

This decided drop in votes means q
great deal to every candidate. Where
you now get 10000 votes on a new
subscription for one year, after Mon
day you will only receive 1900 votes.
On two-year new subscription you
now receive 26,40O votes, but after
6 P. M. Monday this subscription
will only bring 1900 votes. Votes
on the larger subscriptions will be
reduced in the same proportion
Hence, it behooves every candidate
to turn in every subscription she
can get before next Monday night at
6 P. M.
Increase Subscriptions Now
Contestants who have friends who
are going to renew for another year
or more before the close of the cam
paiagn should get their friends to
attend to this before next Monday
night. To illustrate what we mean
by increasing subscription, note the
following example,:
Suppose you had secured a one
year new subscription on which you
had received 10000 votes. You now
get the subscriber to increase his
subscription to two years by paying
81 so more. On the second payment
we would give you the difference II
votes between 26,40O votes (numbel
received on a two-year subscription
and 10000 votes number already
received), or $1,000 votes on the
second payment.
In the case OF those increased
mark the subscription 'New- Extend
ed" or cold Extended" as the case
may be, soswe will not send the sub
scriber two papers.
Extra votes on the increased sub
scriptions are given only when the
same candidate secures both pay
ments.. Otherwise the second pay
ment will only bring the usual 1O,SOC
votes in the case of the example
above. Votes are given on increases
in larger subscriptions and old sub
scriptions in the same proportion.
After next Monday night only thu
double votes will be given on in
creased subscriptions after Monday
creased subscriptions. Hence, every
candidate should try and secure any
increased subscriptions before tina
time. Otherwise, only the usual mum
Der of votes will be given on sub
scliptions.

Arsenate of Lead Most Widely Used.
Arsenate of lead Is the best known
and most extensively used stomach
poison for insects. 1t has a wider
range of usefulness than any other
internal poison now available. II is
safe for use on the foliage of most
plants. has good adhesive qualities,
and owing to its likeness. remains In
suspension well In water. Moreover.
1t can be safely combined with GER
tain contact sprays as nicotine, ker-
osene emulsion, soaps, etc, and with
number of fungicides such as lime
sulphur mixture, and bordeaux mix
ture. 1t should not be combined with
sodium or potassium sulphides.
Commercial arsenate of lead may
be obtained as paste or powder. Pow
der is coming into extended use by
reason of the convenience with which
it may be handled and stored, and the
saving in freight by the absence of
water. Paste arsenate of lead, how
ever. may be stored from year to year

This method for homemade prep

Spraying. compared with its cost, is

according to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
There is need that fruit growers have
u more intimate knowledge of spray
ing materials, spraying machinery, and
especially the why's and wherefores
of spraying.
A better knowledge of the life and
habits of the more common insect
pests and of the nature of Insecticides
will add much to the efficiency of con-
troll measures. The general character
of sprays to be used depends on the
character of the mouth parts of the
insects.
Broadly speaking, all insects secure
their food in one of two ways: "a
By actually biting out and swallowing
portions of the food material; (2)
by sucking out the juices. The first
type includes caterpillars or the
larvae of moths and butterflies, adult
beetles and their grubs, grasshoppers,
crickets, sawflies and their larvae,
bees, etc.
All biting insects are subject to de-
structIon by arsenicals or other stom-
ach poisons. Some biting insects,
however, such as borers and certain
root-infesting forms, do not feed in
situations where poisons may be APP
ment Is necessary.
Among sucking insects may be list
ed plant lice, scale Insects, leafhop-
pers, the pearpsylla. and the true bugs,
all very important enemies of the fruit
grower. For their control the So
called contact sprays are used, sprays
that corrode the body or permeate the
breathing spores of the pests or other
wise effect their destruction.
Biting and sucking insects often oc-
cur in way to permit their destruc-
ton by poisoning the air which they
breathe, as with hydrocyanic-acid as
or carbon disulphide, but in many
cases the expense and danger make
this method impracticable.
Summer spraying is directed against
bud, leaf, and fruit eating insects. and
for these arsenicals chiefly are used.
Dilute contact insecticides are also
employed in the control of certain in
sects, such as aphids. red bugs leaf
hoppers, etc.
The arsenlcals in most common use
are arsenate of lead, paris green, and
arsenate of lime, used as strong as
the foliage will stand. The foliage
of stone fruits, as cherry. plum. and
peach, is on the whole quite tender

Bride Of Today Includes In Trousseau
Only Ample Amount Of Lingerie
for Immediate Use.

Since the sheer and cllnging fabrics
OF outer garments have made the cut
and line and ornamentation of under
garments matters of so much impor-
lance in the final effect of every cos
tune. lingerie presents In some sense
a mode of its own with every changing
season, according to Vogue. The
bride of today no longer includes In
her rousseau lingerie enough to last
her half n lifetime, but the ample
amount for immediate use which she
selects makes up In beauty what 1t
lacks In quantity, and the sums which
she expends upon 1t would have stag
gered the wealthiest of her grand

STOP MICE EATING HARNESS
Usually Done Because They Arc
Hungry for Salt Soaked Into
Leather From Horses.

Usually when mice gnaw harness
leather it is because they are hungry
for salt, which has soaked into the
leather from the sweating of the
horses. Putting oil on the harness
will not help very much.
A remedy known to be successful
was the placing of pans of salt
around the barn so that 1t could be
gotten at directly by the mice. When
they found they could get the salt
without gnawing 1t out of the leather,
they let the harness alone.

TAILORED LINGERIE is CHIC
Plain Tops to chemise, Nightgowns,

There is n penchant for plain. or
tailored, tops to chemises. night

type of garment agrees In simplicity
with the slim, boyish figure which still
prevails In. "the vogue of youthful

Occasionally these plain hens, or
castings, are edged with strips of fiat
insertion. which does not detract from

feminine. Through the plain castings
are usually run delicate ribbons Of
soft pastel shades, and novel note

lavender and golden yellow are the
colors that enllven the pale fabrics
from which lingerie is developed.
