NO 333 PRICE TWO GENTS v K ir 1 THE JEWS CONTEST LIST IS FAR FROM COMPLETE YET -STILL ROOM FOR MANY MORE WHO REALLY MEAN BUSINESS Votes are being left at The News office each day for all the . workers, andthis means that the subscribers are working for you whether you are really in-h ferested 01 not Surely if they -.vfera.willlng to Work for you, why not you be "the contestant" and have all those votes left at the office for you. Figure ' what they will win for you in seven weeks." Candidates in The News' big automobile and prize competition, as well as some of those who have not yet entered the race, are busy with pencil and paper, figuring what it would take in subscriptions to acquire the leadership for the prize automobiles to be awarded Saturday night, October 20. The published vote standing, as it appears in today's paper, shows that the highest candidates are in the neighborhood of 25,000 votes, and, while this is an excellent showing thus far, it does not necessarily fol low that today's leaders have a "walk-away" for the prize au-'to8, by any means. In fact, candidates could, by a little special make themselves important ;; factors and' probable winners ; of the grand prizes. Votes are the only thing necessary to win and can be gotten by the thousands, yes, by the tens of thousands,! On every subspription turned in a certain number of votes are allowed, depending upon the amount paid. Besides that 150,000 SPE CIAL votes re allowed on ev erv $15 turned in. These votes' are in addition'; to' the regular number issued on each sub scription. Therefore, by the use of a little mathematics it can easily be figured that a mere handful of .subscriptions at this time the result of an afternoon's effort among your friends, relatives and acquaintances would at once place you up among the leaders irf the race and in line for a prize worth more than a thousand dollars. Worth trying for, to say fhc least- Don't you think? Receipt Books. All candidates will be provided with special receipt books for taking subscriptions, and any who do not re- , MOTHERS' PENSION LIST FOR YEAR IS ISSUED BY JUDGE C. A. WEISER Probate Judge C. A.

ERS II- Closing Session is a Big Event of Convention When the 124 bankers from this part of Ohio left Wooster after the conclusion of the yearly convention held here Wednesday, afttrnoon nnd evening, they said without any reser vation that the Wooster convention was the best in every way they had attended. The discussions on time ly subjects were instructive and to the point, and the entertainment given at the ComVtry 4ub In the evening was the banner event of its kind in the history of Croup Eight of the Ohio Bankers' association. The officers for the comUig year are: Chairman S. J. Brlstcr of Canal Dover. Vice chairman Clark Firestone of Lisbon. Secretary-treasurer Robert R. Woods of Wooster. s,, The executive comieo onsbftB of B. B. Barclay" "of -''Piedmont for Harrison county; CT E. Kapitzky of Strassburg for Tuscarawas; T. C. Hunsicker of Da I ton for Wayne; F. it. Pow of Salem for Columbiana; W. L. Bochtel or Massll-lon for Stark; W. H. McClin- ton of SteubcnvHle for Jefferson: "H. W. Carey of Millersburg for Holmes; Charles Beck of Magnolia for Carroll. The program,' ps announced previously was carried out at the high school building, where the bankers met In the afternon. Following this part of the convention the bankers were taken in nutorf on sWit-seelng trips to r-ollege hill and the experi ment station. At 5:30 o'clock the hankers were taken to the Country club for dinner. Dr. U. A. Pieeliele, Wooster banker, was toastmaster. Clark Firestone gave the toast to the president of the 1'nlted States. It was a fine effort. Stacey B. Rankin, secretary of the Ohio Bankers' association, gave remarks as did others present. Emil Jarrow of this city, one of the nation's foremost humorous tricksters, delighted the bankers with some of bis well known legerdemain acts. He again drew money from a lemon and, as William Harris of this, city had said in his welcoming address, "showed the bankers how to nrofit when they are handed, a lemon." The bankers did not decide where the next convention will be held. This will be announced later. A nutn- ber of the bankers remained In Woo ter until Thursday morning. fwfr IS WINNER LAST Semi-Weekly Edition Merged Into Daily News The Wayne County Democrat com pany is today movea iy two senti ments in making the announcement DEipi OF W that after today the publication of hen'The1 flreTwas dls-tho Wayne County Democrat. thflveVed, serving to thoroughly arouse semi-weekly edition, will be sus pended. The two sentiments are those of a veneration for the past and a deep realization of the demand by the reading public of a daily newspaper In place of a weekly. The sentiment that clusters around the Semi-Weekly Democrat, which has served its constituency faithfully these many years, and which has been a respected power In this section of Ohio, is something to be cherished in the coming years. The wider influence of the Daily News, which will be sent to subscrib ers of the weekly edition until subscription for the weekly edition ex pires, must be admitted by all. These are days of progress in all things. The world is moving rapidly. Human affairs have moved rapidly during the past three years and such affairs will continue to move rapidly in the coming years. . Affairs In Wayne county are moving rapidly. From day to day events occur that are of the utmost importance. It takes a daily paper to keep any one In touch with the rapidly moving events. The wonderful tele graphic service employed by thDal!y News brings the cream of the world's happenings to the Dallys News each day. Its subscribers receive the Daily, in most cases, the samo nlghf. Any person can see that the publication of news a week old reminds one of the days gone past. There must, conic a time when weekly newspapers must give way to daily oditlons. The Wayne County Democrat company believes that now is the time for the company to discontinue the weekly edition. Many other companies have long ago discontinued the weekly edition, thus doing away with a division of labor in the office and permitting the concentration of all efforts on a real live, up-to-date dally that covers complete ly the local and telegraphic field. The. Democrat company has also been publishing the semi-weekly edition for some time at a financial loss. Every one knows how prices on all kinds have advanced during the past months. Print paper has been no exception to the rule. The high cost of print paper and all other loa terials used in the publication of a newwr'wlth falling off in ad- verusing paironagn in inr rjui-weekly edition have brought about a condition that has for years been seen as coming In the future. Now the condition Is here. Other publishers have gone through the same ex perlence and still others must go Ihrouch It. When It comes all companies publishing both dally and weekly editions must cease pHUlnK their weekly or semi-weekly editions. These, in brief, are the reasons for discontinuing the Semi-Weekly Democrat. After today there will no longer be a Semi-Weekly Democrat, hut there will be the llvest. dally In a town of 10,000 people in the state of Ohio In the Daily News. Th Semi-Weekly Democrat served a community long and faithfully and the Dally News will continue to serve every one In Wayne county along the same honorable lines that charac terized the efforts of all those rev- NO NEW ORDER FROM HEALTH BOARD Dr. J. W. Lehr, city health 'officer, in a talk over the telephonr Thursday, with state health board officials at Columbusreceived verbal instructions to take all precautionary measures in the city in unarantln-ing all persons 111 with contagious diseases and also to ' quarantine suspected cases. Dr. Lehr was also informed that the state officials will at once send printed Instructions as to all steps that must be taken in the city. The board of health has not had a ered men who toiled faithfully to publish the Democrat. The merging of the Semi-Weekly Democrat with the Dally News will immediately bring to the subscrlp- ; tion list of the Daily News the largest number of paid patrons of any daily paper published in Wayne county.

Special instructions to this effect have been sent to all local boards by the provost, marshal general. The first men and officers at the camp, It is pointed out, must have cooks and while every effort is being made to engage professional chefs for the camps.

YNo new cases of Infantile paralysis were reportedtoday, and none have been reported for several days. The health board's records show only two cases reported in the city. The board will probably have an snounccment Friday, after the instructions In printed form are received from Columbus. Peace or Two Military Men and Diplomats See Crisis in Germany With Leaders Holdings Strings of Public Opiniorf ; BY CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Peace this winter or next spring as a result of President Wilson's reply to the pope for at least two more years of war that is the prospect ahead. Military men and diplomats con structed that outlook today in the peace situation. Insofar as the United States is concerned, it is going ahead with war preparations. It will not waiver until the German people have stripped the kaiser or his present autocratic powers. Military men believe that there Is a chanco for peace in the president's note. . They point out that Germany Is showing evidence of "cracking under the strain" and they believe that the liberals will offffer a reconduction of the German government. This must be bonaflde, state depart ment authorities said today, or it will be futile. It will be up to Germany's leaders to decide whether to fight on or accept peace now. The president's note is concrete evidence that the ambition of her enimles is not to cursh her. President Wilson has declared against dismemberment of empires and against post bellum trade wars. In these circumstances, the German people for the first time can realize that the war against her Is not mercenary or aggressive, but that It is one of altruistic purpose Hence, as many here see it, the liberals of Germany will soon force off the yoke of kalserlsm. If, however, they content, them- selves with hearkening to the made- ln.C.nrmDl t,l,.a thnt hp W r lx llfW . one of defense Insofar as Germany Is concerned, the struggle win go on. .

On the whole, however, observers here saw in Wilson's expression a notice to Germany that she will get a fair trade deal after the war and a sign that America Sand . the allies realize a, blunder was com- ' mltted in notifying; Germany she would be commercially crushed no matter how the war ended.
