PLENTY OF TIME TO
INSURE SUCCESS
Present Leads Should Encourage
Rather Than Discourage
Late Entrants
MAGNIFICENT PRIZES WAITING
Just a Few Days Effort Can Put
You at the Very Top
of the List

Today is June 5, and The Herald 8
$4,000 voting contest closes June 30.
This leaves a lot of time for hustlers to
place subscriptions and the classified
coupon books, and just a few days
hustle can bring brand new candidates
to the front.
Don't get the idea that this contest
is practically over-that the present
lineup must remain the same. A con-
test is not ended until the final votes
have been cast, counted and announce
ment of winners made. And all this
happens June 3O-not day before.
PRESENT LEADS SMALL
Just as long as totals which lead
are not safely high, the contest oHers
golden opportunities to all up-and-
doing people. And, in the present case,
leading totals are far from being safe-
ly high. When this condition obtains
the live, popular, hustling man, woman
or child Is offered splendid opportuni-
ties, and not to grasp them is folly.
If present leaders continue to rest
upon their oars" they cannot expect
TO keep their positions through to the
end. The logic of this must be appar-
ent to all. There may be candidates
who feel that other contestants are
"holding back" Let's go over past al.
fairs to arrive at some true idea or
present conditions and future posi-
bilities.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
Are present leaders "holding back?
First, why should they? Isn't their IN
activity certain to encourage new can
didates who have untouched fields
awaiting them? And secondly, what
can they gain by reserving their votes ?
The vote schedule, both regular and
extra, has been dropping constantly,
is still dropping, and will continue to
drop to the close of the contest. Have
you stopped to figure out how costly,
then, not casting votes as steadily as
possible is? DO this, and the results of
this moments figuring will be the most
convincing proof that your fear that
other capdidates are holding back is
useless alarm.
DO YOUR BEST
All you should and need to do-re-
member this, because the contest man
doesn't want you to come to him after
the contest Is all over, saying, why
didn't YOU tell me?''-is to do your
very best, whatever that may be. Re-
member what less than two yearly
subscriptions did for one candidate In
one of the past special prize periods
LESS THAN TWO YEARLY SUB
SCRIPTIONS SECURED A SPLEEN
DID PRIZE FOR HER!
You might still say, But this may
not happen again" Why not? KEEP
THE FACT FIRMLY FIXED IN
YOUR MIND THAT PRESENT
LEADING TOTALS ARE SMALL
RIDICULOUSLY SMALL. The lead
for The Heralds $500 home represents
less than ten new yearly clubs, and
the contest man knows that Southern
California has people who can see op-
portunities and in seeing them grasp
them.
Now look over the following list of
prizes, decide which you want, ana
then GET IN AND WIN IT.
