Final Warning As fingj, warning to contestants and their friends, do not underestimate the strength of any competitor for these exceptionally valuable and highly desirable prizes a small for- tune, indeed! has lost many battles and it would be far better to win the grand capital prize with a million or more too many votes (representing a mere handful of those full limit subscriptions) rather than lose the prize of your desire by a narrow margin. You would never forgive yourself if such an error of should happen to you.

' End of Maximum Votes Near This Saturday night, October 31st, stands out significantly not only as the end of - big My Dear San Juaners: Bill looked at men through ugly, hateful eyes. He hated everybody. everybody hated him, that is, everybody who had become somewhat acquainted with him in their thanksless efforts to win his favor and get him harmoniously attuned to the work of men and things for their essential existence!. Bill was a bay horse five years old. When he came as a from Colorado to San Juan county, Utah, he was accompanied by another a gray, known as Charley. But everybody was charmed with the bay colt, and wouldnt give the gray a second look. If they had been able to discern what was under Bills ears, and what was under Charleys ears, they would have reversed their opinion. The bay colt sold for a handsome price; the gray for much less, yet within a month the owner of gray wouldnt have traded him for two of the bay. That bay colt just pitched and plunged and squealed, he kicked and struck and bit, and it was dangerous to go near him. He reared backward, and he sunfished until he got a loathsome fistula on his withers, and his owner sold him in disgust. His second owner kept him but a little while, and he sunk in value towards the zero mark. The last account of him told of him being tied up in a Piute camp south of Verdure; he was t, just skin and bone; he was his tail knocked jdown and he had a wide pudding-lik- e sore on his back. He had refused to cooperate with the worlds essential work, and the world had cast him out as a useless encumbrance. The gray colt, Charley, was a willing,- - friendly fellow, and was loved by the man whom he carried in safety "over the hills' and gulches of San Juan. He enjoyed the kind of happiness which is known only to the man or to the horse who gives honest serthree-year-o- ld three-year-ol- hip-sho- vice. Two men came to San Juan William and Charles. Each one had a young family, and each one apparently had ability to fight his way to success. William was brilliant, and had an idea of plunging at once into big fortune. Charles was plodder, patient to abide his time, determined to pay his way as he went, and free to sustain every public enterprise by which he and his family benefitted. William didnt plunge into fortune as he expected, but into failure, and he blamed everybody in general for it. He had been sore at the people where he lived before, and he was now sore at the people in San Juan. When he was asked to help support the countrys cooperative enterprises, it made him angry. He had hardly got started till he pulled up stakes and moved away in a huff. He got along no better in the place where he settled, and he moved again, and and his again. His grievances failures became chronic, and he nursed a grudge against every community behind him. He had refused to cooperate with any g Over-confiden- fast-counti- hard-foug- ht contest. Each of these popular favorites have a large number of unredeemed promises to subscribe at a later date. Many if not most of. these promises were made in good faith, but they just wont help a bit unless YOU do something about it NOW. Likewise, many have said in them, amf his children cherished the belief that they had been persecuted and abused in of all . j their heart that they fully tended taking advantage of the good-wicreating opportunity to extend their subscription to the full limit permitted during this contest and give some deserving contestant the benefit of the BIG votes issued thereon but, again we say, simply are worse good intentions than useless unless acted upon before it is too late!

Utah was chosen as the western state to be enumerated since it was felt that it was the single western state most representative of all conditions affecting agriculture as it has both irrigated and dry farming, cattle raising, sheep raising, poultry raising, dairying, and the infringement of industry on farm lands in Utah is as typical here as in other western states. Devere Halls is conducting the census in San Juan county. Before conducting the enumeration, he attended a three-da- y training school at Spanish Fork, Utah. Similar schools were conducted the past week at Ogden, Salt Lake, Richfield, Roosevelt and Cedar City. The county is divided into segments of different sizes, and the enumerator is to give a report on all the land in each segment. Not all farmers will be visited.
