SPARE Time EFFORTS BRING
RICH REWARDS IN PRIZE RACE
Advocates Campaign Offers Exceptional Opportunity to-
Secure Automobile or Other Splendid Prize Without
Cost to Ambitious Workers.
NOMINATE YOUR FAvoRITE TODAY
Enter Your Own Name That of Friend-Campaign
Open to all White People of Good Character

Candidates who enter the big
Prize Campaign have a most unusual
opportunity to win a valuable prize,
as they are now offered the largest
and best list of premiums ever given
away in similar campaign in this
section of the state. In addition to
the two grand prizes, there are many
district prizes, all of which are very
desirable and well worth striving
for.
Nothing Ventured IN OF hing
Gained" is an old saying and a COM
panion saying to Opportunity
knocks but once" In this great cam
paign, many people will let oppor-
tunity slip through their fingers be-
fore they realize that it offers the
one big chance Of a lifetime. They
let this opportunity pass by because
they are afraid to venture-because
they have not confidence in their
own ability to win.
Making up ones mind to do a GER
tain thing is usually the hardest part
of task. It's the same way in this
big campaign-the hardest part is
in getting started, but after you do
you will find they will be glad to help
you and you will have little trouble
in securing a great many votes and
subscriptions. Show your friends you
really want to win by asking for
their votes and you will find they
will give you liberal support.
. The campaign is very slow in get
ting started this week, but that is to
be expected for everyone was inter-
ested in giving the Knights royal
welcome and did not have much time
for anything else. Now that the big
celebration is over, it's a good time
to begin thinking about winning one
of these handsome prizes. Only
few candidates have yet commenced
their campaigns and secured even as
much as one subscription. So the
chances for winning a big prize are
exceptionally good.
Don't get the idea that all the
candidates whose names are pub
lished in the paper are going to try
for the pizes, for they are not. Only
small pecentage of these people
will make an active race. In the last
few days, many names have been
dropped from the list and more will
be cancelled in the near future as
soon as we learn that they do not
intend to try for the prizes.
If you are prospective candidate
who has been thinking of entering or
if you have already been nominated
in the big race, then send for the
supplies and get your campaign
started at once. You will certainly
be well repaid for your spare time
efforts if you make an active race.
The campaign is open to all white
people of good character 1t costs
nothing to enter or try for any of
the prizes. Simply send your nomi-
nation to the campaign manager of
The Advocate and he will send you
supplies and instructions.
Votes may be deposited in the
ballot box at the Advocate office or
they may be mailed direct to the
Campaign Manager,

The Cash Prizes
In this campaign there will be no
losers-every candidate gets some
prize for her efforts. If you fail to
win one of the above prizes you will
receive a cash prize, consisting OF
ten per cent of the subscription
money you turn in.
Note-In the first announcement
we stated that we would give the
winner of the first grand prize her
choice between a Ford Sedan or
Trip to Europe. Since then, we have
received a letter from the tourist
company stating that all their tours
would leave early this year, before
our campaign closed. Hence, if the
candidate selects the European tour
it will be necessary for us to send
the winner on a 1921 tour next
summer. We have made this state
ment as we do not want any candi-
date to be under the impression that
this trip can be taken this year as
we, ourselves, had thought when we
made the announcement.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The United
States government considers the allied
debt of ten billions n just obligation of the
allies and deems unacceptable the sugges-
ton made by Germany that she take it
over as part payment of separations TO
France, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium,
This attitude on the part of the Ameri-
can government may be formally expressed
if the United States ever transmits the
recent German reparation proposal to the
allies as a basis for discussion, but mas
much as such a step is for the moment un-
likely the chances are that America will
avoid formal comment on the German
proposition as it affects our foreign loans.
While the Washington government is
vitality interested in the outcome of the
reparation negotiations because of the
far-reachiug effect that a settlement
would have on the worlds economic situa-
ton the official viewpoint here Is that the
! allies will be able ultimately to pay theil
| debts to the United States irrespective oil
| the PREPARATION money forthcoming from
| Germany to the allies. 1t is realized thai

| controversy would assist the allies anC
| strengthen their financial power to pay
the United States, but there is no DISPOSE
| ton to regard the rcparatiOn question a
| affecting the payment of the allies debt t

regards the debt as something between

cow TESTING
(By Ben McCoy)

The testing of a dairy herd is .
very important thing for the owner of
a herd to bear in mind. He may have
several cows that are a loss to him.
The failure on the part of the owner
to detect the Improbable cows may
be brought about by three causes:
/. 1t may be the result of reckoning
the herd as a whole and not the in
dividual itself.
2. 1t may be due TO not noticing
Inequality of milk.
8. The last is by guessing ut the
value in the flow of milk. Some
farmers meet with a loss on account
OF neglecting to keep a record Of the
amount of feed consumed and the
weight and amount of butter fat. This
looks to be a large task to start with,
but if you have the equipment it is a
very interesting part Of the work
around the dairy barn.
Keeping a record, q person needs a
small pair of scales, a ruled sheet of
paper where the amount of milk and
weight is kept. A Babcock test
should be made from the milk Of
each COW once a month.

STILL WORKING ON LAND
CLASSIFICATION LISTS

Another month viii be required be-
lore the work Of mailing land classi-
flcanon lists TO all the land owners
N cascade county is completed, ac-
cording to F. A. Gackey, who is in
charge of the land classification rec
orus at the court house. He has
been engaged in preparing the lists
since September, when the field work
was completed. He has notified farm
ers IN 45 of the ~ townships in the
county as to the character of their
lands as reported by the appraisers.
Mr.. Gackey said that a number of
protests have been filed by landown-
ers against the classification of their
lands. In most cases objections are
made IN the belief that the appraisers
incorrectly Judged land as-enpable of
cultivation when the e is either
OF rocky nature or so situated that It
De farmed. Gackey said that
none OF these protests had been heard
and will probably not be considered
until after all of the landowners have
received their notices.
The classification records will be the
basis on which values will be made for
assessment purposes, beginning in
March 1922. In order that this record
vii be considered as accurately de-
'cribing the character of the lands,
Gackey said that all protests
should be ironed out before the first
Monday in March, when assessment
work is started.

Bad Outlook for
Unit School System

At the regular session of the county
unit school board held last week in
the office of County Superintendent
of schools Jane Keeney, and one Of
the results was the discovery that the
county school unit fund or special
fund for county purposes. was 31.2
per cent delinquent for the rural dis
tricts, leaving the schools in an en-
barrassing position for opening next
fall unless the delinquency is made up
between now and then, although it was
stated that the country schools were
expected to open at that time il nee
cessary with registered warrants upon
the 1922 taxes. The unit school levy
was 15 mills, but the cash received was
IL mills. amounting to 1914, 525-59
The general school levy receipts Of
Miss Keeney amounted to S1g1 .947.40
from the six mill general levy. which
is $3.50 less than last year, and the
high school levy $97, 183.04, being ST.
900 less than last year.
Those present at the meeting were
