Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1910-03-10

Budgets great piano contest. Wltn
the approaching end the contest has
apparently narrowed down TO five young
ladies'. This is not saying but that
some other girl than the five mentioned
below may not yet come up out OF the
depths and give the leaders race for
their money, but the present indications
are that the final lap is between the
following:
CITY DISTRICT
lone Hogston, Ladysmith ..... l89, 185
Eileen Hayes ......... ,il,ZOo
COUNTRY DISTRICT
Jessie Sergeant, Sheldon ....... 79, 900
Florence Coggins, town of Grow ~, 90
Emma Gould, town of Flambeau. IA, ,675
All are close together and very few
subscriptions will put any one of them
in the lead. These five young ladies
have all been hard workers and it is to
be expected that they will redouble
their efforts during the two weeks left
to them.
The special offer this week is $4,000
extra votes for each $21 turned in,
whether the subscriptions are new or
old This offer is good until z o'clock
p. M, Saturday, March IL, and it is the
best remaining chance for free votes.
After thinking the matter over, we
have come to the conclusion that we
may offer some special inducement In
the way of free votes for the final week,
but it will not be more liberal than that
offered this week, and should we con-
clude to do so the contestants will be
notified in ample time. Full instruct
ions for the final weeks voting will
reach them in plenty of time. Under
this week S offer each new subscription
will count 1900 votes and each old one
400 votes.
Let us explain this matter a little
more fully. Under ordinary circum-
stances one new subscription is worth
500 votes and one old one 400 votes.
If you send in S2l worth of new sub
scriptions that would entitle you to
seven thousand votes fourteen times
five hundred; then we would give you
29, 200 extra, making 80, 800 in all which
you would be entitled to under this
week offer for $21 worth of new sub
scriptions. Fourteen old or renewal
subscriptions would entitle you to four
teen times four hundred votes, or 5, 600.
The $4,000 extra applies here also,
making total of %, 600 for S2l worth
of old or renewal subscriptions. Mix
the old and the new ones up in any pro-
portion you like and the extra $4,000
will apply on each $2l worth, the only
difference being that tne new subscrlp-
tions are worth 800 votes more each.
| You can readily see that the new
subscribers are still the ones to go af-
ter. Four new subscribers will get you
nearly as many votes as ten old ones
This week is the time to get the votes,
and even if your favorite is little be-
hind, the time to catch up is now. Two
or three of these S21 blocks will push
her standing up into big figures. 1t
will be many a long day before the op-
portunity to win handsome piano is
again preser ted, and you will not fee
very happy about it if when the fina
count is annoudced you find that just q
little more effort, probably the securing
of one more new subscriber, would have
put her in the lead and the owner o1
the piano.
! This is almost our last opportunity tc
talk to you on this subject-there are
| only two more issues before the end OF
the contest. We will uphold our end Of
