O O ( Subscriptions Bring Most Credits Now.

Under the terms of the 300,000 EX-
 tra Credit Offer subscriptions are worth more in credits now than they will be at any time later. The offer provides that each set" of four NEW subscription orders turned in to the campaign department between the announcement of the campaign on June 10 and the end of the pres ent offer at o'clock Saturday eve ming, July [, will earn 300,000 in Extra Credits. Every order turned in above each set of four will bring a proportionate share of the Extra Credits to the member, who is in no way limited to the number of sets" of four NEW orders that he or she may turn in. These Extra Credits are in addition to the regu- lar credits allowed on subscription orders as scheduled elsewhere In this issue. The regular credits are issued to a member as fast as the subscription orders are received at the Campaign Department, while a careful tally is kept of all subscrip- ton orders received from each con- testant and the Extra Credits are is- sued on a Special Credit Certificate at the close of the offer. Therefore it is better that members do not wait until they have a full set" of four NEW subscription orders before turning or sending them in but turn

NATIVES ARE TOO POLITE
Papuan Unable to Carry Friend Across
Kills Him Because He Did Not
Wish to Be Rude.

Related to the weakness which in
duces the Papuan native to lie in order
to numor the European is the courtesy
which he often displays on the most
unexpected occasions.
You may tell the same story two or
three times TO a Papuan, but he will
laugh just as heartily or express just
the same establishment the last time
as the first. No hint will escape him
that he has heard the story before.
And even in the crimes which he not
infrequently commits-mostly crimes
of violence-he is not always forgetful
Of the rules of politeness.

charged with numbering another ma
tive whom he had met and done to
death on the bank of a river, but he
looked very heavy. OF course l could
not be so rude as to refuse to carry
him, so l thought that the best way
out of the difficulty was to kill him"
Courteous, too, was the explanation
given to me by some natives of the
mountains inland of Rigo, who were
charged with attacking police patrol.
