This great liberal inducement holds good but seven more days, and it affords every candidate an equal opportunity to advance the vote standing and to win a liberal cash prize. The big campaign is rapidly near- ing its closing weeks, and this is but one of the many reasons why every energetic candidate should put their .shoulder to the wheel and make an extra effort during thése seven bar- gain days. Votes will be the means -of determining who are the honored winners of the many beautiful prizes to be given away on November 1, and by taking advantage of this liberal ofter, every worker has a chance of accumulating thousands of votes that will assist you in winning the prize of your choice. The sum of :$100 in gold will be di- vided into six ptizes as follows: To the candidate residing in Dis- trict No. 1, who receives the largest number of votes issued on collections ‘between the dates of Tuesday, Octob- er 14 and 9 p. m. Saturday, October 25, will be given $25 in gold. To the candidate receiving the sec- ond largest number of votes, $15 in gold. To the candidate receiving the third largest number of votes, $10 in gold. To the candidate residing in Dis- trict No. 2 who receives the largest number of votes issued on collections between the dates of Tuesday, Octob- er 14 and 9 p. m. Saturday October 25, will be given $25 in gold. To the candidate receiving the second largest number of votes, $15 in gold. To the candidate receiving the third largest number of votes, $1v ingold; A {“Note' that this gold offer closes at the same time as the 175,000 extra vote offer. A double opportunity. Not only has every candidate, no matter where he or she stands now, an equal opportunity to win this gold, but all collections will apply on the offer of 175,000 extra votes for every club of $25. This gold offer is an added induce- ment to make the next two weeks count as never before. Winning one of these prizes does not interfere with ‘the award of the regular prizes o:r the payment of cash commissions tn non-winners. Not only can you win a gold prize, but thousands of extra votes wil) place you in a formidable position in the vote column. It may lead you to be one of the three candidates who will win the three magnificent auto- mobiles. Let this liberal ofter be your step to victory. 175.000 Extra Votes Free.

IS - WHAT HAWAI NEEDS (By United Press.) Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 18.—Trans- portation is the one big question which has the immediate attention of everyone in the Hawaiian Islands. Everything that is going to happen seems predicated on ‘“when we get the ships.” . At present three steamers operat- ing on regular schedule, connect the '|islands with the American mainland. In addition to these, Japanese steam- ers touch at Honolulu but are unable to. furnish any real transportation facili It is estimated that 500 persons ng to get to the mainland from the islands and the Isti is added to as rapidly as those who have been waiting are carried away. To get out of the islands the wouldbe trav- eler registers his desires at the steam- ship office. If he is wise—and most are—he registers at all of the steam- ship offices. Then, if he is patient, in the course of two or three months he may get his turn to purchase a ticket. But better times are looked for in about three months. Word has been received in the islands that about the last of November several of the large steamers which formerly operated: og 338,500 ; cisco to Hawaii and wi were used in the transport service during_the. war, will be restored.. their owners and be sent back to the Island trade.

You can satisfy yourself that real comfort can be enjoyed by having a Circo in- stalled for house heating during the.cool and chilly Season. By Don E. Chamberlain. (United Press Correspondent.) New York, Oct. 18.—How the fam- ous mystery paper of occupied Bel- gium—LaLibre Belgique (Free Bel- gium)—defied the German govern- ment and told the truth of the war right under the noses of the German officials in Belgium, was .told here today by Pierre Goemaere, one of its staff of reporters. Goemaere, who is only 25, is ac- companying the Belgium rulers on their tour of the United States, and today for the first time he told the United Press some of its history. Goemaere, who acted as one of the twelve contributors of the famous newspaper, has writéen a book on his experiences which is shortly to be published. “The Libre Belgique was founded at the beginning of 1915 by the aged Brussels journalist, Vietor Jourdain, who gathered around him several de- voted collaborators,” said Goemaere. “Together this group of friends wrote the articles for the paper. To do this they retired with their chief to a secret chamber, where an electrici bell had been installed to warn them of danger. While waiting to send the articles to the printer, the writers hid the manuscripts in the pipes of the radiators. “The day on which the paper had to be printed saw the manuscripts transferred to the hollow interior of several walking sticks, and thus were they transported through the streets. “Where was the paper printed? is a question often asked. The Libre Belgique "had no less than sixteen printers (they were all thrown in jail one after the other, so it can; well be imagined that the place of!|{] publication changed often. The Ger- mans believed the printing place was in an automobile, but the Libre Bel- gique was most often printed in the cellars of abandoned ‘houses or in secret underground spots. “If the work of printing was dan- gerous there was another part of the task of publication even more peril- ous—that of distribution. Here is how managers generally proceeded. | “When the paper had been printed —fifty thousand were run off at a' time—they were carried to certain; central places known to the men in charge of distribution. To enter these places pass words were re- quired, such as ‘For the King,” ‘Praise God,’ ‘Princess Marie Jose,’ or ‘Long Live America.’ “After thus obtaining their sup- plies the distributors went about the || even more 'perilons, task of givin them to the people.” To give an idea of the audacity of these.distributors it-is well-to-remark that one-man in- variably found a way of placing a copy of the paper on the desk of the German military governor in Brussels, who raged and fumed but never found the guilty one. = The dis- tributor learned that at a certain hour each day the governor went into a room adjoining his to dictate let- ters. !
