pet Is sounded January 3lst. 1t Is not
conceivable. however, that such gar
lant campaigners should ~jeopardize
the fruition of their hopes by forfeit
ing a single hard earned point OF ad-
vantage. Good work has been DONE
good work is yet to be done. We are
snro that Mr.. Schwentker and his men

the money.
The Cup, trophy of victory, must re-

The percentage of allotments writ
ten by the above agencies ranges very
much higher than last year. The fig
ures will be materially changed, as
we have word from some agencies
that they are sending in large amounts
| of business which has not yet reached
| the home office. And there VIII DC a
| still further change when the figures
| for paid-up business are compiled.
I Some agencies that do not appear
even among the first twenty will stand
high up when the cash Is all In, n
some now well to the front In written
business may find that they are stand
ing on slippery ground.
We have every reason to believe
that a very large percentage of the
business written will be paid for in
| the time allowed, but you must not
take any chances in this regard. The
| mazuma Is the only thing that VIII
| count from now to February first.
In the present contest most OF the
| agencies have outdistanced their rec
ord Of a year ago. The month of No
vember Just closed is one Of the big
gest months for business rerceived at
" l.. H.. sntn,u- al tho
company. We have Just received mes
sages from come of our general agents
that indicate how business has been
coming in.
1--WE are forwarding today something
over 500, 900 in applications. writes
