The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1909-10-08

The whole country Is awe 10 Lne
issue, and as the contest progresses
the interest will undoubtedly reach
fever heat. The climax comes Octo-
Der % at II p. m, 1909, at which time
the contest will close, and 1t will then
be determined who are to be the pos
SCISSORS of the many grand prizes we
are Offering. 1t is a good plan to get
a reserve vote in readiness for that
time, as you are never positive of the
number of votes your contemporaries
have, and reserve may come into
good play on the last day.
Keep Busy.
Girls, do not let others carry away
these valuable prizes without a strug-
Bile, but make up your mind that you
will be the winner, and go after the
prizes in a manner that will coincide
with your determination. Those who
have already entered are doing nicely,
and 1t seems that each one Is working
hard to come out victorious. There
are many people who are willing to
subscribe If they are asked. Get up
your courage, girls, and go after these
backward subscribers. Nothing counts
in votes so fast as yearly subscrip-
tons, and there are plenty of people
waiting to pay their money down.
While there is time do your work, and
let the end take care of itself. If you
do well now you need not worry about
the future.
Get right to work and get your share
of the subscriptions to be had only for
the asking
A little less than three weeks re.
main in the great Daily News contest.

counting the days, is it? Well, that
means a little accentuated work for
every contestant in the race, especial
ly If the contestants want to make any
showing on the last day of the race,

Subscription Coupons.
The coupons secured on subscrip-
tons are good as long as the contest
lasts, which is up to and including
October %, 1909. The ballots clipped
from the paper are good for ten days
only, and will not be counted after the
date printed on each expires. Votes

responding to the date on the coupon
are good and will be counted on the
day following. Ballots cast where the
date has expired will not be counted
under any circumstances. A little
care should be taken to see that these
votes are polled in time. Ballots are
discarded daily on account of the eX-
piration of dates and, therefore, do
not count. Those turned in on time
will be counted promptly and the cor
rect credit accorded.
Small Payments
Candidates that have taken sub.
scriptions for two, three or more
months at the beginning of the con.
test should get these subscribers to
pay the rest of the year as they are
still considered new.
For example. a person who sub
scribed for the paper and paid one
dollar and received 5000 votes, by
getting them to pay two dollars more
you will be given 12,5OO votes less the
5000 votes you have already received
on the one dollar payment, or $500
votes, but in all cases, six months or
more must be added TO the original
payment to entitle you to the second
payment When turning in such pay
ments, kindly mark your stub second
payment"
Second Payments

stand, and for their information we
'Tish to say that anyone starting to
lob hn

new subscriber during the life OF the
contest and votes given accordingly.
If you start the paper now and pay
something in advance and wish to

subscriber and votes will be issued ac-
cordingly,
