Speaking of the matter she said: "After a photographer waa kind enough to go out and make pietrfres ox undesirable places that , need at tention, without charging us, . the plaeea.have not been cleaned np. These pictures were posted in con spicuous places and "all who ran eould read," yet the eonditions they depicted remain" unchanged, II our efforts toward beautifying and clean ing np the town are going to receive this consideration certainly that is lit tle encouragement-m the work for us." -. . Those familiar, not only with the undesirable places that were photo graphed, but also other places, know that the charge made by the Civic League member is true. They know also that there is no excuse for such places existing. ,. BELK STORES POEM .. .. AN ASSOCIATION Manager of 10 Branches to Meet Monthly for Discussions of Topics of Interest.

The re port from Niagara Falls that it was at Secretary Bryan's suggestion, not on the initiative of the A.

Continued Paiv demonium and uproar so uncontrolla ble that the exasperated magistrate was finally forced to order the court increasing, score 01 enterprising men and women from in and around Concord, have sent in their names and signified their intention of tak ing advantage of this wonderful op portunity. And some have even taken their receipt books and started out to see their friends and to gather the subscriptions that will make them the owner of a valuable prize on July 11. As soon aa it is possible to arrange this list and to set it in type it will le printed in The Times and Tribune so that the readers will have an op portunity of seeing who have enter ed and will be able to decide to whom they will give their subscription and their help. Now, if you have a little spare time and would like to be the owner of any one of the magnificent prizes offered; do not delay any longer. Come or send to The Time-Tribune office at once. Get a receipt book and have any points that you do not un derstand explained to you. Start out today and let your friends know that you are entered in this great race and that yon want not only their sub scriptions but their help in getting the subscriptions of others. It is of great advantage to anyone to have' their name appear in the first published list of contestants and to thereby let their mends know from the very start that they are in the race. If this is not the case, of times a person will pledge their support .to someone else, ; when you would have been just the one to have it had they known that you intended entering. . But, of course, after they have promised to help someone else, it ia too late for you to expect any help from them. . Send in your name today 80' that "it wil surely appear nth the first list and so that you will have every advantage that the con test has to offord.

L - NEW TRAINS SUNDAY. HAPGOOD SELECTED. sympathizers, who were arrested yes terday in noting around Buckingham Palace. One militant spectator threw her shoe at the magistrate, narrowly missing him. ANOTHER AMERICAN KILLED BY MEXICANS one of the prises would be too small to be worthy of the effort required. 1 nis is a very mistaken idea as the more people who are entered in the contest the easier it will be for any one person to win. There art just so many subscriptions possible in this territory and before the contest is over the contestants will have secur ed all of these. Now, if there are on- - ly a few entered it will mean that these few will have to get a great . uumber of subscriptions and work ' very hard in order to win a prise. But if there are a great many work ers in the race it will ent down the number of subscription that any sin- -gle person will have to get in order to be successful, and ' will also ent down the amount of work necessary. Of course the more entered the sharp er the competition will be but that only necessitates prompt action on the part of the contestants and if one . will get busy at once and take care of their own end of the eampaign they will find that the number enter ed will have no tendency to make it harder to win a prize. But the fact to be remembered and to act on now, is the fact that the early starters will have an advantage that those starting later will una it hard to overcome. A little work now will mean many more subscriptions than the same amonnt of work later, and a good start will tend to give a , contestant encouragement and will be a concrete evidence for them to ahow ' their friends when they are asking for help later on in the campaign. So : consider this proposition at once. Come to The Times-Tribune office and see the eampaign manager, no matter ,. whether or .noUronJiava decided to enter.. Talk it over with him and ho will explain all the point that you do not understand and will help yon decide as to whether or nbt you want to enter.
