Last Week of
Great Contest.

IL
after 9 p. m. with an enormous bunch
of subscriptions, they will be refused
votes on them.
Let us warn you to be in here by
9 o'clock Wednesday night. Every
one in here on or before this time
will be taken care of. Any one who
are late will get left.
HUSTLE.
The end of The Commonwealth's
Great Popularity Contest is SO near
you can almost touch it.
Only six days remains in which to
finish your prospects and make
finish that will land you well up at
the top. The excitement and enthu-
siasm is at the highest point and vote
getting is easy if you keep plugging.
Don't delay a minute from now on.
If you would win and you can't af-
ford to waste any time at all.
DON'T COUNT ON PROMISES.
"a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush.". The contestants should
not be satisfied with promises of
subscriptions, but should get the
subscription at ance. A man means
we'll when he promises to help you,
but when the time comes along for
him to fulfill his promise it is often
the case that something turns up to
prevent him.
No doubt every promise made to
you by friends earlier in the contest
will be fulfilled now, as you can
explain that the rates are SO much
more valuable now Show them
how much they can help you right
now, and they will try their best to
giveyou the subscription during the
special vote offer, which expires
next Tuesday night.
CANNOT BUY VOTES.
Votes cannot be bought, they
must be clipped from the paper or
secured on subscriptions.
Votes secured by one contestant
cannot be transferred to another.
SHOULD A TIE OCCUR.
In case of tie for any Of the
prizes offered in this contest, the
value of the prize or prizes thus tied
for will be equally divided between
the candidates who tie for same
unless other arrangements are mu
tually agreed upon by the candidate!
