"I never was lucky in anything. Such was the remark made to the Contest Manager when approached "Well," said he, "the first time I found one, my investment proved a very tortunate one; but on the two last occasions I met with adverse winds, and my little green prophet proved false in his predictions." How fallible the prophecies; of clover green humans. The first time he had fully planned and worked up the object in pursuit, and his own careful work brought him success. Then, like a foolish child, he credited the ignorant clover with it. Afterward he depended Tsolely upon the clover to do the work for him and he was "dished" Idiocy. don't look for clovers. Luck isn't going to win prizes, but persistent, hard work is and when the contest is over and the prizes awarded you will find that the winners will be the ones who were not afraid to work and not the ones who waited for the votes to come to her. Do not depend upon a four leaf clover in this race for there's nothing to it. it can 1 make it food and oi anaiy: is, which save you lots .' tc )?i Tout.ifui Col-JI. 0 li'.'i.'.- nt-t fcaiv hi- B Your Subscrip"- Today - - mi .-'.uMl l Hi of your friends to go out and secure one or more new or old subscriptions. A most excellent method of pro cedure is to organize a force of friends and get each one to pledge himself or herself to get one new and one old subscription. Each can didate has a large circle of friends and by organizing them can wage a most effective campaign. Man3r a battle has been won by a final rally on the part of the fighters and the same can be worked out with exce' lent results in this instance. SEE ALL OLD SUBSCRIBERS. You should see all old subscribers of The Commonwealth and have them pay you. You will be given cred it just the same and it will not incon vemence them to pay that amount as they fpay eventually anyway. By paying you instead of the collec tor you are given votes and every little helps. Remember that payments made by old subscribers on arrearages count votes just the same as if the payments were in advance. And do not forget that Triple Votes is for one week only.

Act to day. The real busy week of the contest is now before all candidates who are desirous of winning one of the prizes in The Commonwealth's con test and some lively hustling will be made to win this week. Triple votes is the inducement offered for this week. Work hard all this week and your efforts cannot help but be rewarded, for fear you do not un dcrstand the Triple offers for this week we are giving full explana- nation today. Double votes will be the program for the next week of the contest. Triple Votes means that just ex- actlv three times the usual number of votes will be given on each and every subscription to The Common wealth turned into the Contest De partment before Tuesday night, No vember 4, at 9 p. m. This Triple vote proposition includes both old and new. Subscriptions from three months to five years will count triple votes. In the olden times charms were used to bring about things greatly desired. There as the old saying addressed to the stars: "Star, light, star bright; First star I've seen tonight;" and a hundred others for the same purpose of bringing good luck. Then, picking up pins is warrant ed to bring any number of wished for happenings. Perhaps each one of the candidates in The Common wealth's Contest has her own par ticular fetish which is going to bring her that Auto, but in these modern days little effort will do more than any number of incanta tions. Instead of picking up pins, candi dates in this contest should pick up their pencil and receipt book during the Triple Vote offer, which ends Tuesday night, November 4, at 9 o'clock and secure every possible subscription.

This remark causes the writer tc ask; "How many whosename now appear in the list are de pending upon luck?" He hopes you are not. If you have the least thought in that direction; consider this as a little personal talk with you. Some time ago I met a man, who ranks among those who know him best, as a man of more than ordi nary intelligence and talent. He was out m a neia seemingly occu pied in the search of some rare flower or mineral. He was half standing and half reclining with his head nearly touching the sod, ob vious to all his surroundings. I accosted him, unceremoniously perhaps, upon which he quickly rais ed himself erect, and after seeing who I was, his face betrayed some slight confusion, as if he had been caught in some silly act of which he was half ashamed. "What in the world." I playfully inquired, "are you so wonderfully in search of, that all this grand pan orama of hills and valleys, saphire sky, orchestral music of birds are totally forgotten or hidden from ... ii your signt ana nearing wmie ju stoop in search of some dead or vis ionary object among the grass?' His embarrassment was apparent as he partly turned his head away and answered: "I was hunting for a four-leaf clover." "And what in common sense do you want to do with it atter you do find it?" I inquired. "It's of no scientific value, has no medicinal properties, possesses neither beauty nor perfume wherein consists its in trinsic value." "Well," he answered hesitatingly, the fact is I have heard so often from persons of some knowledge and sound judgment that finding a four- leaf clover was an indication of com imr jrood luck to the finder, an as surance of successful enterprise he is interested in. and I. simply in 1 A J- idle curiosity, war.tea io nnu out for myself whether there is any ac tual truth in it." "Speculating in 'green goods' !V?" said I jocularly. "Did. you ever try the experiment before!" "Well, yes," was his hesitating re ply. "I did upon several occas iuua when I had a rather doubtful spec ulation in contemplation." "Well, what waa the result queried I. , 'opportunitty offer over. The response to "Opportunity!

All day long Tuesday the success ful subscription gatherers flocked to Tiie Contest Department and turned in the business they had completed, then hurrying out again, they set off in search of just one more, or two more, or perhaps three more per sons who might be persuaded to give a subscription to complete another club of subscriptions before the of fice closed that night. very successful. To judge by the number who re turned, they were most successful in their quest. By dusk, things began to thicken around us, and by 8:30 you would have thought a reception was going on in the contest" depart ment. Much fun and laughter and more good solid business went on. The result was a bunch of sub scriptions so large that the manage ment is just now beginning to catch up with it, and the spare moments have been so few that we really don't know if there have been any at all. The trouble is you can't know where anyone else stands. The fact that you, were on the scene Tuesday night with a bunch of subscriptiosn would be more reassuring if you did not know that nearly everyone else was there, too. It was conclusively proved that there was to be no walkover in the winning of the prizes, and that the ambitious can didates must keep right at it if they hope to keep ahead of their rivals. f.

President Wilson today designated Thursday, November 27, as Thanksgiving Day and ksued the following, his first Thanksgiving proclamation: "The season is at hand in which it has been our long respected custom as a people, to turn in praise and thanksgiving to Alnrghty God for His manifold mercies and blessirg to us ns a nation. The year that has just passed has been paspetl marked in a peculiar degree by man ifestation of His gracious and ben eficent providence. We have not only had peace throughout our own bor ders and with the nations of the world, but th?t penc. been brightened by corstantly multiply ing evidences of genuine friendship, of mutual sympathy and understand in. r, and of the happy operation of many elevating influences, both of ideal and of practice. "'I he nation not only has been pros perous but has pr ned its capacity to take calm counsel amidst the rapid movement of affair and deal with its own life in a spirit candor, riht teortsr.i-.-.-: nnd comity. We have seen the practical completion of a great work at the Isthmus of Pana ma, which not only exemplifies the &omplish what it will and tha dis tinguished skill nnd capacity of its public servants, but also promises the beginning of a new age, of new contracts, new neighborhoods, new sympathies, new bonds, and achieve ments of co-operation and peace. "'Righteousness exaltet h a nation' and 'peace on earth irood will to wards men' furnish the only found ations upon which can be built the lasting achievments of the human spirit. The year has brought us the satisfaction of work well done and fresh visions of our duty which will make the work of the future better still. "Now, therefore, I, Wood row Wilson, President of the United State of America, do hereby desig nate Thursday, the 27th of Novem ber next, as a day of thanksgiving ar.d prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease from the wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God.
