MILDRED DOWNEY WINS AUTO
Receives Ford Car in The Frontier's
Subscription Campaign
Mildred Downey.539200
Hazel McPharlin.389800
Mildred Wertz.241450
Miss Mildred Downey won the
handsome Ford automobile given
away by the Frontier in its great sub
scription voting contest which closed
at 9 o’clock last Saturday night. Miss
Downey had a clear majority over her
closest compet itor, Miss McPharlin of
H9400 votes. Above is the standing
of the candidates, as announced by
tiie judges, S. J. Weeks, of theO’Neill
National bank; J. F. Gallagher, of the
First National bank, and J. F. O’Don
nell, of the Nebraska State bank, at
tiie conclusion of their count of the
ballots last Saturday night.
The contest was a success in every
way and all the candidates that fin
ished worked hard to win the first
prize. The Frontier is only sorry
that we did not have three automo*
biles to give away instead of one as all
three ladles who finished worked hard
during the contest. Some of the
other candidates, who entered the
contest, worked hard for a time and
then gave up the fight, so that at the
finish the three candidates named
above were the only ones left in the
contest. The Frontier desires to ex.
tend its thanks to every young lady
who participated in the contest for
their efforts and labor in our behalf
and to extend to them all our best
wishes for a happy and Prosperous
New Year.
As a result of the contest the Fron
tier placed the names of several hund
red new readers upon our subscription
books and, while we always had the
largest subscription list in the county,
the recent great addition to our list
of readers easily p.aces It in the lead
of any weekly newspaper in the Elk
horn valley as to circulation. The
Frontier now covers Holt county l'ke
a blanket and those who desire to
reach the buying public of this county
can find no better medium to adver
tise its wares than through the col
ums of the Frontier.

increased business and to enable us to

price, there is nothing so good as our Illinois
Lump or Nut.
More heat, less soot, less ashes. The best coal
from the best district in Illinois.
We always buy the best to be had. It is not
our policy to handle inferior grades and sell
them as “just as good.”

Clyde King, Proprietor
py and Properous New Year, and will
extend the glad hand of welcome
should she again return to this city.
Word comes from the head officers
of the Modern Woodman at Rock Is
land, Illinois, that they had given up
the idea of trying to get the increase
of rates adopted at the last head camp
at Chicago putlnto operation and that
no attempt would be made by the
officials to force tnis rate upon the
membership, and that the officers
would not attempt to secure an in
crease of rates at the oomlng head
camp next June. In our humble opin
ion this is an attempt upon the part
of the present head officers to secure
support for their re-lection to the
present high offices they occupy in the
order. It is true that all the officers
worked hard to secure the passage of
the increase rates at the Chicago
head camp and that they expended
thousands of dollars of the money of
the order in trying to have the mem
bership accept the new rates. This
money was paid to lecturers and de
puties, who were sent into the differ
ent states to try to convince the mem
bership that the new rates were a
good thing for the order and should
be accepted. But the membership
thought otherwise and they took
charge of the matter, and as a result
insurgent organizations were organiz
ed in the order in several states and
it was through their efforts that the
rate Increase was defeated, as they
tied the matter up in the courts, and
it was not until after the insurgents
had won in the courts that the head
officers decided they would not at
tempt to enforse the new rates. It is
our opinion that a change in the man
agement of the order would be benl
ficial to the entire membership and
when the election of county delegates
comes up nest spring the members
should see to it that men who are op
posed to such an enormous rate in
crease as that proposed at Chicago,
and men who oannot be controlled by
the head officials, are selected to rep
resent the county at the state camp.
The fight is mot won by any means
and if the membership is not alert
they are liable to lose out in the end.
