WHY MEN AND WOMEN OF MODERATE
MEANS SHOULD ENTER CAMPAIGN
Take Years of Self Denial and Saving %

The Press circulation campaign
should strongly appeal to people of
moderate means, as very interesting
business proposition. 1t offers them
$3.50 in prizes for subscription work.
Work that is congenial and easy, and
at the same time, extremely profitable.
This undertaking presents the op-
portunity to realize the ambition OF
years, to crafty a desire, which under
ordinary conditions, to bring about
would require long self-denial and
saving. The campaign offers you a
means to accomplish it in just six short
weeks.
To the many who have been saving
and planning this is an extremely in
teresting enterprise. Even though the
prizes might happen to be of no use
to you personally, their market value
is great, and the winning of one and
its sale, offers an opportunity to
crafty your pet ambition.
4 Money Making Proposition
II is the chance opportunities of life,
that bring wealth. 1t is the quick
turn" the business proposition, sud =
denly started anu quithiy cHNON 'hhN
makes the money.
Compare the money accumulatin 2
possibilities of this proposition with
the old orthodox method of penny
here, FIVE cents there and ten cents
somewhere else, you gain by patient
saving. The latter certainly is sure
method of accommodating, but no one
ever got rich by the saving of pennies
alone. Saving small sums of money
alone will not bring wealth. 1t is saw
ing wasted minutes and investing them
in renumerative work that brings
riches. 1t is money earned outside the
regular channels of your income that
add to your pile and make the bank
account grow. Thrift in time and
energy is bound to make you thrifty
financially.

to the ambitious comes success. Any
person who starts an undertaking, or
engages in any line OF work, is just
as deserving of success he is sue

coupled with energetic effort, that
brings results. One can accomplish
anything in this world he makes up
his mind to accomplish. 1t all rests

Some people never find time and the

law, is to be distributed to those towns

Of efficiency. The total of the fund dis
tributed for this purpose this year was
$25,519.2S. The total number of towns
receiving the benefit Of the fund this
year was 272. The majority of these are
the smaller towns OF the state and, while
the apportiopment In each instance was
small, yet because Of the limited number
of schools, 1t has made possible the
frightening of the school year by a week

directly by the Governor and Council
upon the Recommendation Of the State
superintendent and must be expended

purposes of school improvement for
which recommendation Is made.
In speaking OF this fund State Super.
