After becoming acquainted with all the different candidates, and knowing bow hard each had his or her mind set on whaterer prize is nearest to the heart, the con test editor can bat be filled with regret that there are not autos enough so that all the deserving ones might carry away such '"a prize. V: :' .1 : There still remains that final sprint to be made this week. With out thrt final effort those who stand close to . the autos and i the other piaeg can not hope for suc cess in the Whippet Coach special. And as the last few hours give place to the' last frenzied minutes, the contest editor cannot refrain from repeating the old well worn warning. "Do not overlook a sin gle subscription, no matter how small it may be." You cannot af ford It.

It is the parting of the ways the presevering onup to sue cess; the others down to defeat. The Calamity Howler Monday is the day of the "Cal amity howler." The calamity ho vie r the ne'er-do-well the pessimist. The calamity howler will not win don't even want to win. Neither does he want to see another win. He plots, he flatters, he invents, be ridicules. Rumors and absurd lties are his stock in trade. Yesterday he traded. Monday he is going to ask you to trade, but this will not do. Don't be misled by a pessimist or a calamity howler. It is work that wins. Remember there is no palm of victory without the dust of the battle. Recently ealamity howler met a contestant, site nas many bud scriptions to collect. "Why, you have no chance to win. I have 25 year subscriptions myself." This contestant listened she heeded she quit. "It's no use. I'm beaten." And that calamity howler' didn't have enough votes to win the smallest of the prizes. It worked! It will work again! Are you going to go hand in hand with the "calamity howler," or are you going to walk alone? Follow your own Inclination. These last few hours will make years of difference. Keep your friends helping you and don't forget all the votes you win on the Whippet campaign help you to win the big prize. As the close of the Whippet campaign approaches., as the days narrow down to hours and mliv utes, one thing makes itself ap- narent. the winners may not oe those who have given out the lm pression that the various candi dates were unbeatable.

Six moHa.nnd the winners will be made and the losers will be the busiest bunch of people you ever saw hunting up excuses why they did not win the Whippet. Yet, in industry there is pleas ure. The winners of these prizes in this contest will feel that they are already repaid for the time they have spent in the interest of the contest. The. winners of the autos will have made a big salary in the course of the time the con test has run. The winners of the other prizes will receive no small reward. However, the winner of any one of the prizes is Just as much In doubt today, a few days before the end, as it was eight weeks ago.

Some of the Leaders Hazel McMorris has returned to Salem after a pleasant trip to Portland, where she visited some of her friends. She is now work ing vigorously in the contest and intends to make every heur from this time on count. Hazel has a very pleasing personality and winning way, and has a knack of coaxing subscriptions that are real hard to-get. Mrs. Hoogerhyde realizes there are only two weeks to go In the contest, and she has -made np her mind to go the limit every day for the next two weeks. Mrs. Hooger hyde Is such a good, consistent worker and energetic personality that she deserves the cooperation of every possible friend in the city of Salem. . Gwinn Barham is working hard. doing his best, and making pro gress, hut not as much progress as if his friends would cooperate with him better. Gwinn is a young man, very high character, high Ideals and merits - the best cooperation of ( all 1 his friends. Every friend Gwinn has In the city of Salem should help him along. They will be taking some paper anyway, and why not help, the young man win? He is trying hard to make headway in this con test. ' Carol Smith called In to see us yesterday and I asked him If he would not like to have a picture run in the paper to advertise his candidacy, and while he is a good looking candidate he could not see it that way. We believe that his photo would make a big hit with the fair sex. We know for a fact that Carol Is very popular with the ladles, and we believe' that a writeup would help to In crease. his popularity.

Price, local mer chant, who was in the automobile. escaped Injury. Readers perusing the honor roU of Capital Post No. f, American Legion, as published from day to day in The Statesman, may have run across the names of several acquaintances whom they knew to have left Salem some time ago, It's true that some of the mem bers of Capital Post are now rest dents elsewhere. It has been noted that members of an active post, moving to another commun ity, often retain membership In the organization, to which they have belonged while if the old home post was not so active, they would sign np with the one where they live. Incidentally, this subject of non-resident members brings np the point that Salem post's steady Increase from year to year has been made despite the fact that its - territory has dwindled, as smaller cities have established posts.
