)er wins the first prize for the largest gain Of the week.
Marion Lummus wins ,.,.

list of candidates you will observe
7 that the ones that are in the lead have
/ done the most work, and are therefore
rewarded by leading the contest. Tur-
! ney Colbert, who is in the lead by
small number of votes, really has
done more work in the way of trying
to get votes than any of his oppo-
nets. Marion Lummus, who is second
in the contest, has also been a hard
worker, as we'll as Tom Sexton, who
is third. You can get the votes just
as easily as they get them if you will
simply get out amongst your grown
up" friends, and tell them that you
want the pony or the bicycle in
Franks Pony Contest Tell them how
they can get the votes. With every
ten cents they spend at this store
they get vote, and they are allowed
to vote it for any boy or girl between
the ages of and 16 years.
Another thing we want to mention
is that the pony given away by
Franks is a full-blooded Shetland
pony, and is the prettiest little horse
that has ever been owned by any boy
or girl in this section. The winner
of this first prize will certainly have
something to be proud of, as he will
be the owner of something that every
boy or girl is constantly craving for
The second prize is the best coaster
brake bicycle that is sold by Cham
bers' Bicycle Shop, and is now on dis
play in their shop. Franks has made
arrangements to get either boys or
girls wheel.
Again, We want to impress on your
mind to get the people to save their
ballots for you, or to vote them for
you. Tell them that you want the
prizes. Tell them that they can help
you get the prizes. Tell them that
they must hustle and go to Franks
store and buy some goods, so as to
give you the votes. Tell them that
Franks sells everything in the wear
ing apparel line for men, women and
children, and sells it at the most rea-
|sonable prices.
The contest will close Wednesday
night, July 10th, at $50.

The special prize offered by Franks
for the largest gain of the week caus-
ed a good deal of excitement, as some
of the candidates did real good work
just three votes. His gain was 1921
just three votes. His gain was 1921
votes, making him the leader in the
contest by having 1851 votes. Marion
got the second prize of $3.50, by sim
ply getting just fifty-six votes more
than Tom Sexton. The gains were
very close as there were not sixty
votes difference in the three leaders.
Boys and girls, last week you did
pretty fair, as you got out most Of the
votes. You must keep your mind con-
stantly on the fact that if you want
to win the pony or the bicycle you
must get your friends to work and
vote for you.
Mr.. Frank wants to inform the pub
lie that attention is paid to the dates
stain pCu OlI Tie udCho VI IAC OoiAOIos
and he regrets very much that several
had to be thrown out this week be-
cause they were placed in the ballot
box after they had expired. Every
ballot issued from the store has a
date stamped on the back This
means that that particular ballot
should be placed in the ballot box on
or before that date The object of
this is really for the benefit of the
candidates, as Mr.. Frank wants them
as we'll as the public to know their
real standing when the ballots are
counted.
There are now IS candidates in this
contest From the count it really ap-
pears that about half of them are
working, while the other half are sit
ting down. Now, here is pointer for
the latter kind: Boys and girls, you
that simply have your name in the
contest and are not trying to get
votes, you will not get the pony or BIZ
cycle in this manner. The boy or girl
that gets either of these prizes will
have to be alert to every opportunity
of talking or writing to their friends
to trade at Franks, and vote their
ballots for you. BY glancing at the
