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. Many mild complaints

bers were Verdi's "I Lombardl," and
the "Count of Essex" overture and the
