HOST Of FRIENDS
READY To HELP
Contestants Once Started
Will Find Their Friends
Eager to Boost for Then.

Great interest in The Herald's PoDu- |
all parts of the southwest, and present i
appearances indicate that there will be !
entries from practically every town in |
this territory. The fact that The Herald
is excluding its city subscribers from
this competition makes il much easier
for contestants in the outside districts
to win, and they are quick to appre-
ciate this fact. In most contests of this
nature the out OF town subscriber has
to compete on even basis with the
local contestants and in that case il is
almost a foregone conclusion that the
larger prizes will 90 TO some of the
contestants in the home town, leaving
only the district prizes for the out of
town contestants to compete for In
The Heralds contest this feature Is
eliminated and all contestants will be
on an equal footing. Some one in one
of the smaller towns is bound to get
the automobile, the player piano, the
trips to, New York or one of the other
prizes offered. No town is too small for
contestants to enter from as they can,
in addition to their own efforts, set
votes by having friends work for them
in other towns.
1t is not so difficult as you may think
TO get subscriptions in a contest of this
kind-the difficulty lies in getting
started. Once you get going 1t is sur
prising how many friends you will find
who will not only encourage you but
will actually get right out and assist
you in securing votes. II you have not
already entered the contest fill out ore
of the nomination blanks and send it
in TO the contest editor of The Herald
He will Immediately send you receipt
blanks and reports with which to work
and will assist you in every way pos
sible under the rules of the contest to
get your campaign started. After you
get over the first novelty of campaign
ing and learn how to approach a pros
pectiye subscriber the work is so easy
that you can pile up an immense vote
in time at all. The list of contest
ants and the votes to their credit IS
now being published twice each week
and this list is of interest not only to
the contestants themselves butt also to
the thousands of Herald readers who
are wondering TO whom to give their
! votes as they pay UP their subscriptions
Competition of any kind always at
| tracts attention and il you keep your
name well toward the top you will find
| that scores OF people OF whom you have
| never heard will take an interest in the
| effort you are making and will send in
| their votes for you.
OF course everyone who enters the
| contest can not win one OF these prizes
| but there are Is prizes now on the list
| and in addition 10 these there will be
| offered several hundred dollars worth
| of special prizes for the contestants to
| work for. Anyone who works at all is
sure to get at least one prize and at the
| final windup it Will be found that those
| who have gone ahead working cOnsis-
| tently and tried to make their vote as
