The San Francisco call., 1908-05-17


600 prize contest should be heavier
than at any time since the start Of the
contest Not only is the time growing
shorter and scarcely three weeks re-
main for the getting Of votes. but all
who have any desire to win should
take advantage OF the special 5000
vote offer for those who turn in five
six months subscriptions
Some slight misunderstanding seems
TO have arisen over this special offer.
Some Of the contestants seem TO think
that when they have secured one of
these special ballots they are barred
from further effort in that line. Not
st alL For every five six months sub
scriptions that are turned in one of
these special ballots OF 5000 votes will
he given Send 10 subscriptions and
receive two ballots; 20 subscriptions
and receive four ballots: the only thing
necessary is that the six months sub
scriptions be for new subscribers.
Yearly subscriptions count twice as
much as six months subscriptions on
this special offer. besides giving you
5000 votes on the regular schedule. 1t
IS just as easy TO get yearly subscrip-
tion as one for six months. and contest
ants should strive to secure the longer
term ones.

excellent opportunity for those who

ers. not only in their own subdistricts,
