MERCEDES HAS A
BOY IN THE RACE
MAKING FOUR VALLEY TOWNS
NOW WORKING TO SEND BOYS
ON HERALD'S FREE INAUGURAL
TRIP.
PLAN EXPLAINED AGAIN. THAT
ALL MAY UNDERESTIMATE SIDE
TRIP TO HOME OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON.

/
/ WASHINGTON.
There appears to be some confusion
regarding The HeraldS proposition for
the Inaugural Trip. One boy has said
that he would not enter because he could
not afford 10 pay hotel expenses Oh the
trip. Th fact, is, The Herald has agreed
/ to pay board for the boys throughout the
entire trip. TO make all plain. the prop
osition is here outlined again in full:
To the first twenty-five boys who bring
i'll fifty yearly subscriptions, paid i'll adj
vance, to the Daily and Sunday Herald,
or subscriptions to either or both for
the same or shorter periods equivalent in
value to that amount, The Herald will
give a free round trip from Brownsville
to Washington, to witness the Inaugural
ton of Woodrow Wilson. All transpor-
tatiOn, Pullman and hotel expenses for
these boys will be paid on the trip 10
and from Washington. \ competence
chaperon will accompany the party to
Washington. and everything possible will
be done on the trip for the welfare and
pleasure Of the boys.
The trip program will include not only
a view of the Inauguration Of the new
president, and visit to the White
House and Capitol. where the House of
Representatives and Senate Chamber
will be visited. but it also will mean
tour of the entire city on ght-Sceing au-
tOmObilcS There Will be also Il visit to
Mount Vernon. the home of President
George Washington. one Of the most in
tereSting spots in the entire country
This beautiful and historic place is sit
uated fifteen miles from the Capital City
on the banks of the broad Potomac river
Here is not only the home of Washing
ton, but also his tomb-a place which
ton wants to visit.
Washington is not only one of the most
beautiful cities in the world, but il teens
with places Of rare interest. There will
be something TO do and something to see
every moment of the time spent there.
Four ambitions Valley towns now
have candidates in the field Mercedes
is the latest to enter The boys are all
working hard
DON'T PUT TIE BOYS OFF.
Some Of the candidates complain that,
many who promise subscriptions put
them off upntil later. Come next week,
or Come the latter part of the cam
paign." is the answer. This is not en-
cOuraging to the candidates. Every sub
scribcr who is booked and paid up. gives
that much more courage IN determine
tiOn. and keeps the boys pushing ahead.
Promises are better than rcfuSalS Of
course, but the payment of subscriptions
on first call will keep up boys spirit
and encourage him TO keep on.
Why not pay as well this week as next
week?
The school SuperintcndentS Of the Val
ley realize the educational value of such
a tripas The Herald proposes and have
encouraged the plan.
1t is now plump up to the readers Of
The Herald to decide whether at least
twenty five boys shall be The Herald'S
guests on the Inaugural Trip.
Read the list and see whether there il
not some boy among the candidates
whom YOU would be willing to assist in
winning the trip. If not, then nominate
the boy you would like to have in the
party.
