As schools will not open till Pepterr. her 14 there Is still another month rm students In rlevnte to the mk of curing subscript lona for The Oregon .Ton ma 1 which will determine the win ner of the valuable srholarahlpa and cash awards A ' month will not be long In passing, and those who kill time now will wake up later only to discover that more wlde-awaJce students took advantage of all the available time at their disposal. It Is an Indifferent student Indeed who would allow such a golden oppor tunlty as the present one to pasa by without seizing It. Bright, ambitious boys or girls could stsrt in now and easily secure enough subscriptions for The Journal to entitle them to a valu able scholarship. All it requires is tho determination and close application to the work. With the will, augmented by untiring energy, young people csn , ac complish difficult things which to ths Indifferent boys and girls seem Impos sibilities. ObHtacles are no barriers to success. They only make auccess more secure. Success achieved without strenu ous efforts is not appreciated. Boys and girls competing for scholar ships cannot very easily win without devoting their time to the work. Their' friends and the public will help those who show a determined effort to help. themselves Students are sdmlred for their ambition and those who show tha most ambition are thons who will get the most support. Kverv dsy lost Is a slip In the cogwheel of progress. Per petual motion ta what Is required. Anyone solving this problem will be successful beyond all conception Mil lions of dollars await such sn Inventor. Students who have the perpetual mo tion Idea ran develop It to advantage In contest work. By keeping everlss- Ingly at It It will bring succsss and may be the means of developing greater ideas through a valuable scholarship won In the contest. Remember t It-- old adage, "Out of sight, out of mtnd " ir you are not In sight your frleiuls 111 foget you. Circulate among them and your enthusiasm will Induce your friends to us their Influence In gaining votes for vou. Time and tide will wait for no onej .Now Is the time to work. Tomorrow may offer the same or blcaer obstacles. The thing to do la to brush away the nuie Impediments of progreas today and those popping up tomorrow will be Insignificant. If you allow them to accumulate they will obstruct your way. Make up your mind this means you to secure more Votes for the next score than you have for the past, and If you keep up the same winning spirit throughout the contest you will be a winner. FINAL BAND CONCERT OF SEASON BRINGS LARGE CROWD TO PARK Big. De Oprio's band delighted a large audience at city park yesterday afternoon with high-class and popu lar music. It was the last concert in the park for the season, a fact much regretted by the muslo-lovlng public, since there is reason to believe that fine weather will prevail yet awhile. Testerdav the weather was Ideal. Better could not have been wished for. Thousands or people had to stand up because of there not being benches enough to accommodate the crowds. This evil, it Is hoped, will be remedied by next season.

Under existing conditions onlv a very small portion of the thousand who attend the concerts are able to get seats. Yesterday's program was splendldlv rendered, from the lightest to tlv heaviest number. The heavier num bers were Verdi's "I Lombardl," and the "Count of Essex" overture and the andante from Beethoven's First sym phony. Slg. De Caprlo played one of his popular baritone solos, "Cavatlna. rrorn Attila, and for an encore gave lm rwapoiuan Tarantella, a m brilliant number composed by Slg.
