going to win? Are you doing your
beet? Some OF the candidates we
know arc, others we have not been
able to see this week, but expect them
to make a fine showing at the finish.
During the races this week tho candi-
dates will find and meet many of
their old friends who will want to
subscribe for the paper. Remember
subscriptions are what count. Coupons
are worth taking care Of but the time
spent In hunting them up, would be
far more profitable II put in looking
after subscriptions.
The vacation fever Is running high
or every day now. Most every bo!y
who takes a vacation will be off either
,, in July or August. On the 10th day OF
July our guests for Europe will set
sail from Montreal TO spend Il myMth
in the old country.
In the latter part Of July or about
August the first four more prize win.
Ders will hike themselves to the sea
shore. Atlantic City. where they wiz
spend ten days with every expcrsc
paid by the West Virginian. Tle
young ladies' have all made up thcir
mind If thsy should fall short of win
ming the European prize which is a
most cXccptionabic offer. that they IL
take the trip to Atlantic City. .i
One young lady Saturday evening
said she believed If it were possible
she would be able to Win both trip
from the number of votes she haA,
: promised her. She is now not far NJ
on the list but from all Indications
| she will have to be rcckOncd vita at
tho final count ..
1t Is not possible however. ever

| win more than one Of the trips. The
fur trips TO Atlantic City will be even
