The Plan Fully Explained.
The Tribune aims to still further in
crease it's already large circulation dur
ing the next few months. 1t is the best
and rlcnn".t paper published in North
eastern Pennsylvania, and when ii
once Gnds its way into II family its
merits VIII enable it to remain perman-
emily, IL ORDER to introduce it we seek
the cooperation of ambitious, intelli-
gent young men and women, and to
gain their help will for a second time
rut into execution plan that is bound
tn appeal to this class of workers.
We are going 10 give these eight
scholarships to the eight persons who
shall prove to be the most successful

cational Contest.

months subscription to The Tribune;
a three months subscription counting
more each yearly subscription count
ing II points.

costing 81, allows credit for /. points,
whereas twelve monthly subscriptions,
costing So, also secures /. points.
Hence it is To the interest of contest
ants 10 use their utmost endeavors to
secure lonG-term subscribers. In most
instances they should have little diff
Guilty in securing subscriptions of three
monthc. at S1.25. thereby being entitled
t0 three points. Whenever "A yearly
subscriber is secured the contestant
receives twelve points and his total
advances rapidly.
