The Crucial Test is at hand. Be Sure Your Ship Escapes The Rock of Defeat! Contest Closes April 7th. at 9 o’clock p. m. At nine o'clock the door at the Northwestern office will be locked and everyone who has votes to turn in will be given plenty of time to have the Contest Manager to make out the ballots, it may take an hour or even longer, the idea is to give everybody a chance to turn in their subscription money before we close the contest. So | be in the office by nine or you can’t get in. The counting of the ballots on Mon day night April 7th at the close of the great contest will be done by Miss Pearle Needham, deputy county treasurer; \V. J. Root, assistant cash ier Loup City State Bank and Law rence Polski assistant cashier Loup City National Bank. These people have consented to act as judges and make the final count April 7th, in the contest to determine the winners of the prize. They will make the official announcement of winners after the final count of votes is made. In their hands is placed complete supervision of the vote and the determination of winners. STANDING The standing of the candidates as it appears in this paper will be added to the ballots in the ballot bos. We have carefully counted every ballot, and have tried to make a correct count, but to play fair we want every candidate to carefully go over her ballots and see that we have not made a mistake and should there be mistake come right into the office and we will go over the ballots and cor rect any mistake should there be any. However we have been as careful as we could, and are sure we have made no mistake. But if any candidate thinks otherwise please notify us at once. “Here they come down the stretch!” You have been to the races, heven’t you? Sat in the grand-stand and waved your hat and hurrahed your self black in the face as you crowded forward to see the finish. Someone cries, “here they come down the stretch” and you rise on your tiptoes | screaming at the top of your voice in the hope of encouraging your favor-1 ite. What a sight to thrill the nerves of any lover of sport. No race that was ever run was watched with keen er interest than the great popularity race which has entered on its last lap now. The people of this country are craniDg forward, so to speak, to cheer the candidates who are now on the home stretch. Co it! Co it! These are the cries you hear at the races. Can't you imagine the air ringing with the similar cries of the popualce. Why? Most of those people have paid hard money to assist some particular candidate to score on her competitors and naturally they are excited, if you have received as sistance from many of your friends and well wishers, for goodness sake hustle now! Show them that you are worthy of the confidence they have placed in you. Who will be the first under the wire Monday night at !) o’clock? Nobody can tell. While the leaders are doing famous ly—while it looks as though those ahead would surely be first—there is always some possibility of some can didate coming in with a “Garrison Finish.” A Garrison finish is one where a winning racer keeps behind all the others till the last minute then gathers itself together for a great burst of speed and darts past the leader, coming first under the wire “by a short eye-lash.” Nothing can equal the surprise of the van quished racer under these circum stances.

There is proper and suitable pride in being well dressed Have you ever noticed your boy throw his shoulders back and his chin up and give himself an ap proving glance in the mirror when k you put a new suit on him? He feels manly and confident of his respectability. He retains that feeling as long as his suit looks nice and new. You want this inculated in his mind permanently. Gethim clothes that retain that newness of shape, fit an appearance. You get it in the construction and all wool ma terials embodied in Wooly Boy AU Xy“0^8 i AT EOBBNTZ "We XrL-vite You TO THE NEW THEATRE % i~ ' *" % -j§ Nothing but Good, Clean shows will be per mitted to be put on here.
