No one lias competed for the $12
mirror offeied last week. I have
cards from sew rul contestants saying
they intend competing for this
beautiful $12.00 mirror by the 28tli.

keep plugging at this thing an 1 you ;

thinking you are safe, for you are i
not. !
If you strike a thai n or rose,
?Kec p-a-Going.
If it rains, or if it blows,
?Keep-a-Going.
Taint no use to sit and pine,
When the fish ain't on your line;
Bait your hook and keep on trying,1

Spose you're out of every friend?
Find someone with friends to lend,
Tell them you're going to win,
?Keep-a-Going. J
Soon this contest will be in his- 1
tory, and some one w ill be a winner
of a valuable beautiful $400 Up- *
right Grand Piano. Each day that 1
goes by * you just 24 hours 1
nearer the closing day, ask yourself j1
if you can afford to let 24 hours j
pass without making a good $10 or |
I - more ^.,osit-in tins -tc; v
not, the reason is you only have , *
672 more hours to work if you y
should work every hour until the *
contest closes.
Keep a pushing ever upward,
Work with smile and not with *
frown;
It takes live fish to go up stream,
"Dead ones" can float down.
Keep a going, keep a pushing;
Tis all the same in prose or rhyme;
Life is too short to he grumbling,
"Do It Now" and save the time.
Mr. Citizen if you are not a ~ubscriber
now is the time to pick (
your winner and help her win, by
giving her one or more subscriptions (
to The Advocate, or if you aie a
subscriber oiready hand your renewal
in to your favoiite contestant
and I will look it up on the 1
books and credit you with a rene val,
no matter when your time is up
we w ill look after that ami see that
you get credit even if it is next
year. Now is the time to consider.
Here is what thinking w ill do. Last
week I heard a rather non-considerate
gentleman say to his friend "I
am thinking <if dnind Id Fnrr?n/> <m I
... 0 o""*o vv wrv v,w i
a vacation."
"You are! I didn't know you had
that much money," replied his very
considerate friend.
"1 haven't, but^Qti see, it doesn't
cost anything to think of going."
d ^?at what cost you least .get you
( /ne least results. So rush to the
. ^Iceland keep it turning in subl
scriptions even if it does take some
- of your valuable time, for there
- ' ~ "A" isn't anything that you could do in
the next 27 days that would win
you a piano except work hard and
diplomatic in this live contest.
Don't forget that I am here to do all
1 can towards helping any of you
contestants in an>th<ng relating to
the contest. Some of the new contestants
"are squeezing through to
the front every day. Now who will
top these great f.ee bonus votes. 1

How Coal Miners i
4?
Share in Profits.
As a result of the award of the
Strike Commission appointed by I
President Roosevelt in 1902, the e
Pennsylvania anthracite mine t
workers benefit from a profit-sharing
scheme such as does not exist
in any other industrv. A bonus of 11
v - v * w"
0 per cent \yas added to their pay o
last month, and in some months it e
runs to 8 or 9 per cent. 0
The Strike Commission, after ?
granting a flat ten per cent advance
in wages, established what is known
as the "sliding scale." It is from '
the operation of this that, in ad- ^
dition to the extra ten per cent a- !
warded by the Commission, there is
18
a further advance of 1 per cent, for
every rise of five cents in the price gj
af anthracite at tidewater. ^
The United States Commissioner ^
)f Labor gathers every month the ' j
Figures from which to calculate the (
average price, and then notifies p
aoth operators and miners what the j
wnus amounts to. If the price is
M.70, for example, the bonus is 4
jer cent; if it is $4.75 the bonus is
> per cent and so on.
A decline in the price of coal bem
ow $4.50 cannot cause a cor re- ^
(ponding decline in the mine work?r's
pay. The Commission, in ain
vardiug the ten per cent, advance w
)ver what the men got before the gj
[902 strike, decreed that this should ^
>e a minimum. The Commission p
itated positively that the "sliding ^
icale" was to work in one direction j
>nly?upward.
