a culver of expectancy to witness
the start of the Great Popularity
Race, and some of those who will
run in the exciting event have gath
cred at the starting point and The
Contest Managers are anxiousiy
waiting for others of the more tim.
i'd entrants to step into line before
the final signal they are off, is
given.
The Great Campaign will be more
of a social event than vote gath
ering contest as the most popular
are taking part.
Everyone is expectantly waiting
to ascertain whom of the contestants
will develop into the most success
full campaigners. Some of the lad
les and children already entered are
getting down to business by map
! ping out campaign plans to cover
the few short remaining weeks of
the contest, while others are vast

to see what the more energetic ones
will accomplish.
The ladies of both WaXahachie
and the outside territory arc call

| for new subscriptions and renew
ais will soon develop into a hot one.
A great deal of time is being taken
up in receiving nominations and is
suing coupon books therefore the
contestants who mean business will
make the remainder of the Contest
period a whirlwind of successful eff

The Way to Win
Those that make a specially o
, securing new subscriptions will b,
much more successful than thos,
that work entirely for renewals, a.
more votes are given on new sub
scriptions than are given on a re
newal
The way to win is to devote a
certain amount of time each day to
vote getting and to make all the
Roadway possible when out after the
valuable little ballots.
/ The premiums offered are worth
many times the effort thai it will
take to win them and every contest
ant should consider them worth d
good try.
Consider the idea of any lady who
has one hour each day that she can
do with as she pleases aud which
otherwise would be unprofitabl7 de-
voted to some useless pastime. not
entering the Great Contest,
whereby she could become the pos
SCISSOR of the magnificent Flanders
go" touring car by devoting this
same hour each day to the simple
and pleasant task of securing votes
and coupons from her friends and
acquaintance.
1t is deplorable sight to see
people take such little interest in
the really important events of per
nature that are transpiring around
them.
