contesti, this, week, it really just starting, we are gratified at the interest
thus far manifested. Above we give
the names of of six contestants', most
of whom, >are devoting considerable of
their time to the canvassing.
.As yet there are parts of our field
which are- not represented by contestants living in those sections and there
'are, no doubt, a nlumber of people favorably located who are really looking for a good opportunity. The ones
who get into this contest should not
delay much longer, as the contest
closes a few weeks hence-^-Novembte'r
12, to be exact
There is yet ample time, though, to
make a canvass and to'stack up a
.wonderful showing of votes. The contest, is going to close on November 12„
whieh. means about four weeks for the
work. There are many pleasant features of working in a* contest of this
kind, put on by The Observer.
The paper is decidely popular. It
covers a wide local news field and has
a very capable corps of interested correspondents. No country weekly in
the state covers its field more thoroughly than does The Observer.
The number of subscribers who stop
The Observer is so small that it is
hardly noticeable-, whiHe the addition
of new names without solicitation is
considerable every year. People want
the paper because it fills a real need.
Many subscriptions are now due. . The
contestant! who makes a thorough canvass is sure to meet with success.
One hundred fifty dollars; is surely
worth working for, and there are two
other good-sized sums to be given
away on the closing! day of tlhe conr
test The Observer has never failed
to make good an a contest of any kind.
This , does not necessarily mean
that the contest will be a success
from the newspaper standpoint, but
the money is sure to be .paid regardless of how much, or how little work
is done. This means that there are
great opportunities for the contestants
who actually get out into the field
and make a continuous and active canvass. Notwithstanding the fact that
r>ur list of slubscribers is larger than
for many years,, there are quite a few
people who do not take The. Observer
and who are .ready to subscribe when
the opportunity presents itself.
Three hundred dollars is offered.
The money- is waiting for someone to
claim it and the three winners of this
great contest are going to be pretty
happy when these awards are made..
A commission is. paid to thpse who do
no*-, win and thus everyone gets well
paid for the Work done. We are determined to push tha subscription list
(of The Observer regardless of expense.
If you have been hesitating about entering this contest do not delay any
longer.       .
Saline Private Hospital Has Been Undergoing Many Improvements.

Charles Ray  Has  Tremendous  Part
in, "Tlie Fire Brigade"—Plays
Opposite May McAvoy.
Not since Charles Ray played in
''The Girl I Loved" has he had a part
that approached dramatic sincerity
that of Terry O'Neill in '-'The Fire
Brigade," the production which is to
be seen as the attraction at the Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
During the last year Ray has become identified with, whimsical comedy roles such as the ones he played
in his previous three roles, and has
shown a deligtiful, versatility of characterization in these parts.
However, Terry O'Neill is a part
-that would delight the heart of any
actor, and one that afforded Ray opportunities he had never before been
granted. The story covers a considerable period, taking Terry through
the ""rookie" stage to that of a fire
engineer, showing the suspense that
attends a fireman, and his everyday
heroism. The role, which' inclines' to
the dramatic, is balancedby a wealth
of typical .Gt&ffc TKF^medy.
"The Fire Brigade" was produced
by Hunt Stromberg and directed by
William Nigh with the aid of the International- Order of Fire Engineers.
A large portion of tlie profits will be
turned over to this organization for
the carrying' on of its fire prevention
work.
May McAvoy has the feminine lead
opposite Ray, and the cast includes
Holmes Herbert, Tom O'Brien, Eugene
Besserer, Warner P. Richmond, Bert
Woodnuff, Vivia Ogden, DeWitt Jennings, Dan Mason, James! Bradbury,

Fire Prevention Week Deserves local
1 Support.
The institution of "Eire Prevention
Week" was a wise provision. It
serves to remind us of the devastation
done by this dread demon, and to take
thought of prevention to just as great
ftn extent as possible. During the life
of the nation hundreds, yes thousands
of disastrous conflagrations have occurred that were either the result of
'carelessness or cofuld have been
avoided by preventative measures.     :
Our town, our homes,, our' business
buildings, represent our all to us.
it behooves ius to think of what their
destruction would miean, and to do all
that is possible to prevent, any such
catasprophe, as well as by providing
for the, funds to rebuild should it oe-
aur.
Each one of us owes it to himself
and to his neighbors to first so build
as to remove as many chances for fire
as it'is possible for him to do. There
are many things that can be done
along that line, many places in which
lurks the danger of fire in buildings
now standing that can be changed so
as to remove much of that danger.
Our artisans and building material,
people can', and cheerfully will, point
out these possibilities for each of 'us.
We owe it to ourselves and our neighbors to exercise every care for the
.prevention of fire; to avoid carelessness that might lead to a conflagration. We owe it to ourselves and to
our neighbors to provide by insurance
for funds with which to replace! any
loss by fire-. Fire prevention week
but serves to call attention to these
things that are* an all-year-round necessity.
Any fire, no matter how closely
confined it may be, that affects any
one of ius to some degree affects alL
The destruction, of one home,, of one
biuaness building, is a loss to-the
community as a whole.
