THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Votes secured for one candidate
cannot be transferred to another.
Votes cannot be bought; they must
be clipped from the paper or secured
with cash subscriptions.
The ballot box closes each evening
at o'clock, and the votes will be
published in the Ardmoreite the next
day.
No one is confined to any partic-
ular district in voting or securing sub
scriptions The division of the dis
tricts is simply for the purpose Of
awarding the prizes. Every candidate
in every district has a chance to Sc
cure the automobile.
If you have any complaint to make
call the Contest manager, or send in
your name and address and we will
have a representative call and explain
the contest to you. We want every
body satisfied.
Anyone, anywhere, can vote for
any candidate. If YOU have a friend
you wish to vote for, who has not
as yet been nominated, send in your
votes or subscriptions, with the name
OF the party you wish to nominate.
The certificate given with cash
subscriptions can be voted at any
time or they can be held until the
very last.
In fact, it is well to hold a good
supply of your votes in reserve, as
then no one will know how many
votes you have. Votes are given on
old subscriptions as we'll as new, and
they both count the same.
Keep up a cheerful and confident
spirit If it is apparent that you
expect to win, you will get many in
terested who would not like to see
you disappointed. No one wants to
help a laggard. Your friends and the
public that are watching you will
not give you their assistance If you
are not helping yourself. Go out
among them and prove that you are
every effort TO be the winner
and you will receive the assistance
of them all The public wants to be
on the winning side.
Read the scale of votes carefully.
In this way you will know just where
your best advantage lies, and remem-
Der the votes are given with old sub
scriptions or renewals, just the same
as for new subscriptions, and that
they do not change at any time during
the contest; you will get just as many
votes during the first of the contest
as you will at any other time. so turn
in the subscriptions as soon as re-
ceived.
If at any time during the contest
we should offer any special votes or
add any prizes, all the subscriptions
that a candidate has turned in since
the start of the contest will be count
ed in the awarding of any and all
such votes or prizes. The rules gov
erning the contest are such that a
candidate can turn in all of their sub
scriptions as soon as received and
get the benefit of any special offers
that may be made later during the
contest.
For the accommodation of those
wishing to enter the contest or to
gain information respecting it, the

If you think the fruit crop is Kill
ed, said Moran Scott today. Just
go over the country and see the vast
number of trees in bloom" Mr. Scott
says if the crop is not ruined after
this date that the fruit crop will be q
big one in 1911. It was thought that
zero weather in February with the
trees in bud and some of them in
bloom would kill the fruit and perhaps
some trees will not produce but the
majority of them are not injured.

"A million dollars from Red Cross
Seals this Christmas" is the cry of the
National Association for the study and
prevention OF tuberculosis. which finds
an answer in the slogan of the State

Of Red Cross Christmas seals in Sir-
ginia during the past two winters has
again been given the honor of selling
seals. and its officers are engaged to-
day in shipping the little tokens of
good cheer To all parts of the State.
On this sale and on it alone the or
ganized central work against con-
sumption in the State is supported;
no collections are ever made at the
meetings of the association, no pledges
are sought. By the Cooperation of
the public, the association, at Christ
mas time. reaps sufficient revenue to
carry on its work for the whole year
In EVERY locality, the proceeds Of
the sale are divided between the ma
tional, the State and the municipal
agencies fighting the white plague. In
Richmond, for example, a small parl
of the revenue goes to the State asso-
cation, a small part to the national
war on disease and half the proceeds
will go to the support of Pine Camp
and the Instructive Visiting Nurses;
in Roanoke. half the proceeds go TO
help the Free Medical Dispensary; in
Lynchburg. the Health League is the
beneficiary: and in every other town.
fifty cents OF every dollar spent on
Red Cross seals goes for the imme-
date alienation Of local suffering.
