Just remember, hopeful workers.
You will have to shed your coats,
Roll your sleeves and keep a-humping
if you ever get big votes.
Just hustle and fortune waits you,
But shirk, and defeat is sure,
So keep pushin,’ we’d advise you
And you’ll win out with the votes.
You may dream of welcome laurels
Where your flag of triumph floats,
But you’ll never win a prize
if you don’t turn in some votes.

A serious political crisis has existed
in Cuba since the presidential election
last November. President Menocal was
opposed for re-election by Dr. Alfred
Zayas, leader of the Liberal party, and
on account of contests in the provinces
of Santa Clara and Oriente, the issues
of the election are still in doubt. A
couple of weeks ago a decision of the
Cuban supreme court threw Santa
Clara into Dr. Zayas’ column and ap-

PASSING OF THE OFFICE BOY.
War Time Has Replaced Him in London
With a Girl.
Special to The Tribune
London, Feb. 10.—The office boy is a
creature of the past in London. His
place has been taken by the office girl.
Under the heading “London’s War Time
Office Boy Is a Girl,” the British offi-
cial press bureau has issued the fol-
iowig story:
“Any morning of the week except-
ing Sunday she may be seen between
8 and 9 o’clock coming into the city
(the square mile of London of which
the’center is St. Paul’s) from the tram
terminus. She carries a cheap dispatch
case, or a brown paper package, or per-
haps she makes a vanity bag do. The
contents are her lunch, something to
read and a powder puff. Gladys is only
14, or at the most a year older; her
hair is unmistakably not yet put up;
she is scarcely old enough even to be a
’flapper.’ But she has her ‘powder
puff, as much a symbol of emancipa-
tion to her as the cigarette is to Percy.
"She hurries toward the city, a little
anxiously, with a glance at every clock
she passes. She1 is something of a
novice still; she has not yet become
harened to reproof; and whereas Percy
goes whistling to a certain row Gladys
is unwilling to be late.
“As a rule she is very serious about
her work, more so than Percy. Some-
times she is shy, almost too shy even

Army fficers Are Put Under Arrest
at Havana.
Havana, Feb. 10.—Aurelio Hevia, sec-
retary of the interior, notified the civil
and military authorities at an early
hour this morning that he had received
advices of a plot against the govern-
ment involving civil and military offi-
cials. It is reported that one or more
army officers have been arrested
Lloyd-George Allows T’hem to Be Used
for Temporary Housing.
By Associated Press.
London Feb. 9.—One of Prime* Min-
-ister Lloyd-George’s latest official acts
is to turn over the garden of his offi-
cial residence on. Downing street to the
builders, to be covered with temporary
buildings for the housing of over-
flows from the neighboring govern-
ment offices. During the Asquith gov-
ernment the garden was chiefly-used
as a playground for Mr. Asquith’S
young son, who conducted there a
series of ambitious experiments with
toy airplanes. Most premiers have
used the gardens a great deal. Glad-
stone, for example, dined under the
trees there pretty regularly in summer.

Lloyd-George’s Cabinet Follows Pre-
cedent of Asquith Ministry.
Lodon, Feb. 10.—Following the pre-
cedent set by the Asquith government,
the ministers in the Lloyd-George
government are pooling their salaries.
The salary of the prime minister is
not affected by the arrangement. Min-
isters will draw from the “pool” about
3.000 pounds each per year, s com-
pared with over 4,000 pounds as the
individual share of cabinet ministers
under Asquith. The smaller amount
is due to the increased number of min-
isters owing to the creation of several
new departments.

Sometimes she is not shy enough, this
child of 14 or 15, in the city streets

the centuries. For Gladys—and this is
why she is so important—Gladys is a.

complexion, the pretty hair, the sim-

looked-after young person. She is

friends are chosen for her, her manners
and tastes are regulated with infinite
pains, her vocabulary is checked, her
reading is supervised. What consterna-
tion there would be at ‘The Lilacs’ if
for a single day she marched out one
morning before 8 o’clock, became lost
in the workaday world for nine hours,
and came home by the tram in the dark,'

The favorite sport of “chasing rain-
bows” is being feverishly renewed in
southern Texas, only instead of vainly
pursuing the elusive “bag of gold”
these rainbows lead in a bee-line to
the campaign department of the Gal-
veston Tribune, where extra yotes are
waiting.
All of which is, by way of saying,
that the ambitious ladies in the
Tribune’s “15,000 club are sweeping
-forward in their determination to claim
the rewards following the announce-
ment of the“SPECIL BALLOT OFFER
which closes at 10 o’clock Saturday
night, Feb. ,10th. They will secure
thousands of extra votes by energetic
working* for subscriptions, thereby
bringing nearer than ever the victory
that means a splendid new automobile.
. INTEREST INTENSE.
Enthusiasm is just bubbling over
everywhere—in every nook and corner
of the contest territory—and it is a
grand scamper for new subscriptions.
Incidentally, many take occasion to re-
mark, “This is where I kill two birds
with one stone,” “the Extra Votes and
the Automobile.” “Glorious,” say
others. Others pronounce it “The real
class,” and rub their hands together
in anticipation.
NEW STARTERS.
Surprising though, was the eager-
ness with which the candidates low-
in vote standing- grasp the opportunity
that was presented to run up their
votes to an equal basis with the high-
est in the list. That’s what the offer
is, a chance to move quickly to the
very top, all at the cost-of a little ap-
plication and persistency. For 45,000
EXTRA VOTES on each $10 worth of
new subscriptions soon total a very
big figure and those fortunate enough
to secure a few pf these big ballots
will have a really worth while vote.
The offer closes at 10 p. m. Saturday,
Feb. 10th. Those candidates who are
in the building, but who have not been
waited upon by that time, will be al-
lowed suffiicent time to turn in their
business. Be sure to be in the Trust
building by 10 p.m. I 1

Egg importers in London have been
making big contracts with American
firms for the last six months, one firm
{ having given a standing order for 3,-
000,000 eggs a week. Up to-.now it has
not been possible to fulfill such a big
contract weekly, but importers are
hopeful for the future.
“American eggs are selling in Lon-
don today for less than in New York,”
, remarked one dealer. “That is because
contracts Were made some time ago.
We can buy American eggs cheaper
than English, pay the freight over and
sell them at prices under those of our
English eggs, making a decent profit
too.”

MISS MARIE BOERGER,
\ Burr, B-4.
Special to The Tribune. >
London, Feb. 7.—Owing to the, im-
portation in the last week of 15,000,000
eggs from America and Egypt the price
of: eggs in London markets, which had
been gradually soaring for six months,
has suddenly fallen.
While eggs a week ago today were
selling at 90 cents to $1.14 a dozen, to-
day the price dropped to $1.08 for the
freshest variety and to 60 cents a dozen
and even lower for other varieties. The
average household egg that brought 90
cents a dozen a week ago is being sold
today at 60 to 75 cents a dozen, accord-
ing to the neighborhood. A week ago
there were almost no eggs in the mar-
ket to be had for less than 5 cents
each, while today some of the larger
markets are selling them as low as 3
cents, these being small, but none the
less fresh.
That is what the importation of 15,-
000,000 eggs has done for London in one
week. A wholesaler at the Tooley street
market told a New York Times cor-
respondent today that another huge
cargo was coming over from America
next week, while another shipment was
expected from Egypt. These together
are expected to approximate 20,000,000
eggs. If they arrive there will be a
further decline in the price of eggs in
London.
SOLD AT $1.14 A DOZEN.
Never before in England had eggs
reached the price of $1.14 a dozen, for
which they were selling before those
15,000,000 arrived from America and
Egypt. Nine cent top notchers were of
a variety guaranteed as “absolutely
fresh laid,” while others equally pala-
table but not laid within a day or so
of reaching the .market commanded 90
cents a dozen, or a trifle less, accord-
ing to the neighborhood. London and
the market she caters to consume some
20,000,000 eggs a day, and England
has been supplying the bulk of this
supply during the last six months, ow-
ing to the difficulty of getting imports
from America, Canada, Egypt, and else-
where.
Of the 15,000,000 eggs imported last
week, 7,000,000 came from Egypt and
the rest from America. Canada shipped
over some 12,000,000, but this was no
more than her average weekly export
to England, and was not counted in
the aggregate of 15,000,000. As the
Tooley Street importer explained, the
mere importations of 15,000,000 eggs in
a single week would have hardly an
appreciable effect on the market, ex-
cept for a day or so if it were not as-
sured„that there would be more com-
ing, for that quantity would.be quickly
absorbed by the market. But it is ex-
pected that there will be a steady sup-
ply from now op, both from America
and from Egypt. The New York Times
correspondent found American eggs
selling for 4 cents each in Smithfield
market, which compares favorably
with prices at Washington market, New
York. Elsewhere the prices of Amer-
ican eggs ’ ranged from 4 to 5 cents
each, while the smallest of the Egyp-
tian eggs were on sale at some of the
stalls at eight for a shilling, or 3
cents a piece.
