= 1t will be noted that lines are be-
ing tightly drawn" in nearly every
district
! Just one week from tomorrow night
the second Diamond Ring" period
will end
Nearly every contestant and chap
0 eron IN the race will make an effort
to capture the diamond rings, that the
Intelligencer Is Offering to the one
turning in the largest amount OF
money on new subscriptions, during
the second period. And why not?
/, Each and every one will try to get
: In as many new subscriptions as
possible, anyhow, on account OF the
reduction In the vote schedule after
April 8. and by exerting just a bit
more effort than they originally in
tended. the chance OF carrying of
these magnificent special prizes will
be that much better. While doing the
extra work that will be required to
win the special prize, you are building
up reserve vote toward winning the
tour In your district that will be hard
for your competitors TO overcome.
Candidates are not required to vote
special ballots secured during the
second period. II is only the sub
scriptions that must be turned in

day OF the contest.
Any contestant desiring TO do so.
may turn in her subscriptions and
money at the close OF the second
period, Saturday night. April s, in
sealed envelopes, and these will not
be opened until after 8 O'Clock. Last
Saturday. when the first period closed,
the office was pretty we'll crowded,
as 1t viii be next Saturday. and many
OF the ladies were OF necessity forced
20 expose their hands" to their
rivals when they turned over their
subscriptions. By following the plan
outlined. no one will be able TO know
what anyone else is turning in. This
method was explained to several of
the ladies last week, but only one
bok advantage OF Il.
Remember, II you win the rings n
them.
Several OF the ladies have said thai
they would very much ike TO win ths
diamond rings. but that there were
other things IN Hancher's and HuI
mans Jewelry stores, which they
could use TO much greater advantage
than the rings.
Keep Up Courage.
A heavy vote cast suddenly nv
some candidate. may result in dIscour
aging some or her opponents. II
should be remembered that such Il

heavily. IL IL reasoned that II oppo
nents see such sudden jump I'm the
