must set good examples OF Christian life"

 Our company is composed entirely of local capital and is in every sense home institution. Therefore, we feel that we are entitled to special consideration from the people of our territory.

ed upon single coupon if so desired, that is, by following the rules of the contest This point overcomes tedious task of cut ting out 1,QO0 coupctls from so many dif- ferent papers. On she other hand the contestant is not required to make a per- sonal canvass of every resident in his town or community to gather up the coupons. or request them to be saved h. stead he may, for example, dictate a short note on a postal card and mail to his friends, requesting them to please bear him in mind when remitting The Advertiser for subscription, to also en- close coupon with votes for him to the number of whatever the amount of the remittance may be, allowing one vote for each cents SO remitted.
 Five hundred or a thousand postal cards , judiciously distributed along this line would no doubt advance nearly any can- didate's chances several points.
 The warm weather during the past week should encourage many new contestants to get in the race as we'll as to induce those already started to hustle, in order to win splendid two weeks outing at one of the many resorts selected as prizes for this contest
 Nearly sixty days remain in which votes may be asked for, and a regular good old fashioned campaign may be conducted to a successful finish.
 The interest already taken by the large and varied number of candidates ensures this to be the greatest race ever before projected by an Alabama newspaper, Who is the most popular person em- braces wide scope of meaning and per- sons No politics, no class. religion, Ioca- tion, age, sex or previous or present con- ditton will interfere in this race.
 In other words, it's a free for all and a chance for anybody to win.
 If you are not contestant, get in the game.
 If you have a friend send in a coupon with 800 or 1000 votes and put him or her on the road to a refreshing vacation that will do you both good.
 Read the rules, read the prize list, read the whole plan. then turn to another page and read the list of contestants brought down to date. Note their standing and should you note the name of a friend whom you think needs a boost, cut out the coupon fill 1t in and mail a remit tance to The Advertiser on your subscrip- ton.
 The full amount will be credited to your account. and you will not lose a cent.

LIST OF CONTESTANTS
 FOR FREE TRIP IS CHANGING
Two Montgomery Persons Continue to Head the COlumn-Jhe Rules and Regulations
 Should Be Read Carefully.

The list of contestants in The Adverti- ser Popularity, or Vacation Trip Contest, continues to change about more rapidly from day to day. -s
 Have you watched the list of candidates that appear daily in the columns of The Advertiser? II not, notice it today, then look again next Sunday.
 Each candidate, as his name appears in- dicates his chances for winning one of the ten prizes in the contest.
 Mrs. Matte Lamar of Montgomery, leads the merry thFong today with Nor man Drum, also of Montgomery close second. Third place has suddeny been occupied by G.. W. Long of Uniontown and so goes the chase for supremacy for first choice in this most interesting race for popular favor.
 Much interest was manifested in the contest during the past week, not only among the many friends of the contes- kants, but by Advertiser subscribers in general. 75E-. --eI gi-
 Many questions are being asked daily from all sources IconceYning the details of the contest. Although a half page descriptive advertisement has appeared in The Advertiser daily for the past four weeks. giving the full particulars of the contest, coupon, etc, many seem to be confused az to just what is to be done in order to become a candidate or to entitle a subscriber to vote.
 In arranging for The Vacation Trip Contest, The Advertiser took precaution to eliminate the tedious duties of cutting coupons in large numbers from thes paper as has been the case in former popularity contests as we'll as to add a new and more novel feature in the way of preparing the coupon and also the requirements of the voters or contestants
 Tn former contests it was necessary for a candidate to do considerable canvass ing for coupons, which were collected by the thousand, in great boundles and brought into The Advertiser office, This plan did not prove popular. besides is time-worn and unsatisfactory. The new idsa, or the plan by which the present contest is being conducted. cuts out all these disagreeable features. On page 0) nine of this issue appears the general plan and scope of the contest. Rules, coupon, and list of prizes appear.
 The coupon to be furnished will be found to be simple and may be filled out by the subscriber to vote as many times for hi, choice If contestants as he sees fit One thousand votes may be register
