Many Subscriptions Being Secured
Every foot of the territory Of
Phoenix and throughout the state is
now undergoing a thorough canvass
ing and it is safe to say that any
, subscription that is overlooked Will
be one that is buried. one young
woman came in yesterday and de-
clared that she had gotten every
subscription in her territory" as she
expressed it. Half an hour later an
other young woman entered the con-
test office with eight NEW sub
scriptions, all secured in the territory
covered by the one who had gotten
all" This has happened more than
once during the contest and shows
that those who really try are the
ones who secure results. What the
second contestant had done the first
could do equally as well, had she
possessed the necessary perseverance
and refused to give up And so it
oil
who is really anxious to win gets
there i'll spite of everything. Literal

| pend upon their energy during these
