NORWAY SURPRISED
 AT WET VICTORY
AntiS Gained 22S,067 While
 DTyS Lost 60,082

Oslo, Norway, Oct, 2l LP1 - The sweeping victory of the anti-prohi- bitionist movement as evidenced by the plebiscite throughout Norway has caused general surprise. Though all the returns have not as yet been -tabulated. the vote against prohibition up to the pres ent is 525,423, as compared with 415,637 for prohibition.
 The anti -prohibitionists gained 223,S67 votes and the prohibition ists lost 6S.2S2. Even in the most stubborn dry districts the vets gained strongly. in many cases 100 per cent.
 The cities and eastern counties showed an anti prohibitlouist ma jority, while the drys still hold the southern and western counties, But even here, the -prohlbitionists made great progress.
 Will Ask Restrictions
 The prohibition leaders agree that the Sorting must abide by the opinion expressed by the nation and prohibition must be abolished. The prohibitionists, however, will make efforts to have rigorous re- strctions placed on the sale Of li- quor.
 The minister of social affairs an- nounces that the Norwegian gov srnment proposes that all citizens 21 or over shall be permitted to buy liquor. except persons convict cd of breaking the laws through drunkenness The new legislation probably will be similar to the Danish system, with high taxation on liquor, but comparatively cheap liquor of Norwegian production.

The star was Mary PiCkford, of for

was because there were no kleiG lights

with sore eyes. But apparently they
are not half SO unkind az the sun.

With them were Mrs. Fairbanks

PAST TURN-INS DON'T COUNT
ON THIS.

The amount of votes anyone has pre-
vious to this announcement does not count
in this special competition. From this
date until August 9th, while the votes are
being issued on regular subscription turn
ms, the count will also cover the amount
of NEW subscription money turned in,
and on August 9th, the one who has turn
ed in the greatest amount of new subscrip-
ton money will become the winner of the
500 in gold, as audited by the judges on
the final night of the campaign.
In fact, while one of the present can
didates might have the slight advantage
of little more experience in salesman
ship work, he has the disadvantage of
having already drawn on his immediate
territory while NEW entrant would have
his own virgin territory and certainly lots
of fresh enthusiasm.
In any event, no one in the campaign,
new entrant or early starter, can possibly
lose, as EVERYBODY WINS SOME
THING in this campaign.
