HUNDRED THOUSAND VOTES FOR 3 TEN YEAR SUBSCRIPTIONS Fifty Thousand F.xtra Votes For Every Club of Three Five Year Subscriptions and Fifty Thousand Extra Votes For Every $20.00 Turned in That is Not Included in Above Three Offers—This is the Last Offer of Special Votes and Candidates Should Make the Mos' of Their Opportunity. This week you have the last offer of extra votes of the contest. It is the offer that will show who are the hardest workers and one that will go a long way in deciding who will win the Maxwell. It is the offer that will get big results and will give the work ers a chance to head all others in the contest. Popularity has had its day and now the question has come down to the final point of whether you are the best worker or not. It is^ip to you this week to make use of every moment you have during the week to get votes. You should get your friends out and have them hustle for you. Do not stop at one club for you cannot get too many votes. Every day should mean at least one club to you, if you do not get more. Get out after the big result and do not accept “no” for an answer. There are hundreds of dollars in every part of the county that can be secured if you get right after the people and get it. There are but few left in the contest now and you can be the winner if you make use of this offer good and strong. This is absolutely the last offer of extra votes that will be made during the contest. After the next report is made, next week, the ballot box will be sealed and the key will be turned over to one of the judges and thereafter the candidates will place their list in the ballot box with the money or check for the amount of subscriptions turned in, and no one but themselves will know the amount they turn in until the judges open the ballot box and count the votes on Wednesday night, Octo ber 13. The judges will be three business men of O’Neill and then names will be announced next week, week. You should get to work now in earnest and keep at it until the con test closes. There are probably 500 people in your neighborhood that would take the paper if you would go to them and show them where their subscription would greatly assist you in winning the car. You should im press upon the people that it is neces sary for you to have their votes. They will be for you if you are strongly into the work for yourself, but they are not for you unless you are for yourself. Show the proper enthusiasm and that will get results. It is anybody’s car yet. Make a winning for yourself now while you can. Work every day and win, or sit idly by and see your oppo nenet take the equivalent of $685.00 right out from under your nose. Tiara To Tha Offpr vantage of last week’s extra vote of fer. However at that there is a grand opportunity for anyone that cares to make use of this week to come to the lead. There is no one in the race that cannot be beaten out this week. During the rush last week the name of Miss Simmons was inadvertantly omitted from the list of contestants. We re gret the error very much but it is one of these things that will occasionally happen. She has made a splendid gain during the past two weeks. J. C. Murphy.771,000 Viola Morgan.732,760 M. Simmons.666,600 John Hanley.439,000 Homer Mullen.371,000 Holt County Fair. The Holt County Fair closed its second annual exhibition last Friday afternoon. While the weather was not ideal for a fair, it was much better than we have had this week, and the officers of the association were fortu nate in that respect. The fair was a success. While the attendance was not as large as expect ed, nor as it would have been with favorable weather, there was a splen did exhibition and there was splendid amusement furnished the people that attended. The receipts were sufficient to pay all premiums and purses and they will have a little money left to apply on the improvements that were made this year. The officers of thv association worked hard to make it a success and it was not their fault that the weather man did not smile a little more brightly upon their efforts. They have splendid buildings now and there is no reason why Holt county could not have as good a fair as any county in the state. We raise the necessary material to exhibit and farmers should see to it that they have exhibits at the fair. The fair belongs to the people of the county and with liberal support can be made one of thu greatest attractions in this portion of the state. The ball games were the center of attraction, in the sporting line, during the three days and the hustling little village of Emmet walked away with the championship of the county. But it was a fight, boy, they had to scrap for every game, which made it very interesting to the spectators. Emmet Beats Atkinson. The game Thursday afternoon was between Atkinson and Emmet. The latter having won on the two previous days was the favorite with the sport ing element, but Atkinson looked the strongest on paper. Denny, who has been twirling for Emmet the past month, was on the mound for Emmet and deserved the victory his team won. He pitched a good game, allowing seven hits, and fanning six, holding the Atkinson team to two runs, both of which were earned runs. Hoffman, one of the Lincoln West ern League pitchers, was on the mound for Atkinson. Hoffman pitched a good game, but from the score sheet was not entitled to the victory as Emmet succeeded in making three earned runs, one of them being the result of a wild pitch. He held Emmet to seven hits, but two of them and a double, coming in the first inning, gave Emmet two scores and they were never headed. He fanned nine men. He was defeated by the opposition bunching their hits. Emmet started scoring in the very first inning. After Douglas had been retired by the fan route, Rose secured a hit; Forsythe rolled one to the pitcher and Rose was thrown out at second; Rouse secured a double on the first ball pitched and Forsythe scored; Stuart then drove a single into right field and Rouse scored; Corey retired the side going out third to first. Nothing more in the run line until the eight inning, although Rouse secured another double in the third, but died on second. In the eighth Rose, first up, secured a single; Forsythe secured his first hit of the series and Rose took third, scoring on a wild pitch, For sythe taking second; Forsythe scored on a sacrifice fly by Rouse to center. That ended the scoring as the next two fanned. Nothing doing for Atkinson until the third inning, although Cox secured a double in the second after two were Between the dates of September 29th and Wednesday, October 6th we will give 100,000 extra votes for every club of three ten year subscriptions, 60,000 extra votes for every club of three five year subscriptions, and 50, 000 extra votes on every $20.00 turn ed in, that is not included in the first two offers. Make use of this offer. Three ten year subscriptions will give you 100,000 extra votes; you should be able to get at least one club of ten year subscriptions. Then for a club of three five year subscriptions you will receive 50,000 extra votes. There is not a contestant in the race who can not secure two or three clubs of five year subscription.3. Then in addition to this for every $20 turned in, not in cludede in above affer, you will be al lowed 60,000 extra votes. Now the question is, who will get the most clubs? Don’t. Do not get discouraged for now is the time to back up your work with courage and not despair. Make every moment count for we know full well that there is not a contestant in the race at the present time but what has winning qualities. You can win so go after the work with a renewed energy and work to beat the band. You can do what others have done and we have seen many a contestant that was a way down on the list at this stage of the game come to the front and win simply because they backed up their work with courage and not despair. Keep a stiff upper lip and go to win. Below is the standing for this week up to Wednesday night at 8 p. m. There is a little widening among some of the candidates which goes to show that these people failed to take ad down and died on second. Weber opened the third by connecting for three sacks; Raymer sent one to center for a single, Weber scoring. Doering rolled one to first and Raymer was thrown out at second; McKee walked, Doering taking second. Clare sent a long fly to center which For sythe grabbed after a hard run and doubled Doering at second. It was ono of the best plays of the game. The fourth inning opened auspiciously for Atkinson but there was nothing doing. Leahy opened with a single but was doubled at second when Hoffman roll ed an easy one to short. Cox retired the side by going out on a pop fly to first. Atkinson secured their second and last score in the fifth, tying up the game. Kirkland walked; Weber fan ned but Raymer connected for a single, Kirkland taking third; Doering went out on a fly to center, Kirkland scoring and Raymer taking third; Mc Kee was given a life on an error by third, Raymer going to third; Clare went out from third to first, retiring the side. Atkinson had an opportunity to get the jump on them in the eighth inning, but poor base running put them out of it; Doering opened the inning with a hit; the next two were easy outs; Leahy connected for a hit, Doer ing taking third; Hoffman rolled one to short which was fumbled but he recovered the ball in time to get Doer ing at the plate when he attempted to score on the fumble. They went out in order in the next inning and the game was over. Score by innings: Emmet. 20000002 0—4 Atkinson. 00101000 0—2 Hits: Emmet, 7; Atkinson, 7. Er rors: Emmet, 2; Atkinson, 2.

Emmet had won all three former [;ames and many wanted to see their pride humbled and wanted to see the farmer boys from Dorsey walk away with the money, but as Guy Cole said it “couldn’t be did” and I guess Guy was right. It was a very interesting game although there were .several glaring errors and bonehead plays on both sides that were expensive. The errors of omission were about as numerous as the errors of commission. Cutting out the errors the game should have been 2 to 1 in the ninth in tiing, Emmet securing two earned runs and Dorsey one, but the game ended 6 to 3 in favor of Emmet. Corey was on the mound for Em met and while he held the Dorsey boys to five hits they were bunched and two bits in the seventh inning with two in field outs gave Dorsey the only earned run they made during the game. He was also erratic and fielded his position very poorly, making two wild throws in the sixth inning that re sulted in a run. Corey is a splendid pitcher as long as everything goes his way, but is liable to “blow up” under grief. He whiflfed five. Cox, of the Lincoln Western League team, was on the mound for Dorsey and pitched a splendid game, but his support in places was very ragged. He allowed seven hits, one a home run by Clare, but kept them well scattered except in the seventh and eighth in. nings, when they scored four of their seven hits, although Emmet had al ready made three runs. Emmet started scoring in the sec ond inning. Rouse was given a life on an error by third; Clare went out on a pop up to second; Denny got a hit to left, Rouse taking third; Corey went out on a pop fly to first; Rouse scored on a passed ball; Richardson struck out. Nothing further in the scoring line until the sixth inning when errors and bonehead plays gave Emmet two runs. McKee, first up, secured a hit; took second on a passed ball and scored when Hoffman dropped Forsythe’s fly in center; Forsythe going to second; Rouse sent one down to short that Rose let get away from him and For sythe scored, Rouse going to second. Clare went out on a fly to left, Rouse taking third; Denny went out on a foul fly and Corey struck out. They gathered another in the seventh inning and it was an earned run. Richardson fanned; Troschyski secured a short hit to left; stole second and scored on a hit to left by Douglas, who died on first as McKee fanned and Forsythe went out on a fly to left. Emmet gained their other earned run in the eighth inning; After Rouse had been retired second to first, Clare met one on the nose for a home run into deep left; Denny fanned but Corey connect ed for a scratch single to short center; he died on first as Richardson was thrown out catcher to first. Dorsey sent their first run across the rubber in the third inning. Richter went out on a long fly to center; Ray mer went out from third to first; Cox connected with a single to right; took second on a passed ball and scored on a kit to center by Rose; Stuart ended the inning by going out on a fly to Corey. They added another in their half of the sixth inning and took the lead. Rose was safe when Denny dropped his fly in left; Stuart laid down a bunt to Corey and the latter threw the ball away and Rose took third and Stuart second before the ball was recovered. Leahy fanned; Doering was given a life on another error by Corey who again threw the ball away and Rose scored; Stuart tak ing third. Hudson was safe on a fielders choice but they ran down Stu art between third and home and caught Doering trying to take third while they were making the out. It was pure bone head playing. They added another in the seventh. Hoff man got a hit; took second when Rich ter went out from second to first; took third when McKee let Raymer’s roller get away and scored on a hit by Cox; Rose went out on a long fly to center ending the inning. They went out in order in the next two innings and the game was over. o__ i_ Emmet. 01000211 *—5 Dorsey. 00100110 0—3 Hits: Emmet, 7; Dorsey, 5. Er rors: Emmet, 4; Dorsey, 4.

Neither Forsythe or Rouse, the two heaviest hitters on the team, get anything that looked like a hit. Rouse of Battle Creek is a terror to pitchers. Rouse is especially strong in a pinch. If a hit is needed to win a game he generally delivers the hit. He won two of the four games for Emmet with his hitting. Harry Jordan and Joel Parker are some auto race drivers. Joel won the race Thursday afternoon but Harry Jordan was pulling away from the field Friday when Horst’s machine turned over.
