Three days only remain in the spe-
cfaI bonus period for The Georgian

not revealing the full measure of their
success, it is believed certain. from
the meager reports made to the con-
test manager, that there will be doz-
ems Of clubs formed
Nearly every contestant will turn
i'm a S35 club. That much seems as
sured. In addition to the regular
vote scale, the $35 club brings 10000
extra votes, which is a big boost to
any aspirant for a pony
Clubs Of S25 and $15 also will be
numerous. These count for 1850
and 5000 extra votes respectively.
When the bonus offer expires Just
ten days will remain before the con-
test is over, and the prizes will be
awarded. With the end only two
weeks ahead contestants should nerve
themselves for a final squirt, just as
a good runner saves some Of his
strength for the last lap
