Again today The Times publishes
the names OF the candidates IN the
Shetland Pony and Cart contest VITA
it's total OF forty regular prizes
Many OF the candidates in TO-DAY
list may not appear in the list 10 be
published next Monday
All OF the candidates who have
their names published in The Times
next Monday will be credited with
500 votes, or more.
All candidates with only 1000 votes,
or less than 500 votes. will be drop
ped from our list
DO YOU understand the situation?
Do you realize that If you are
in the .0O0-only class. you have but
today, tomorrow and the next day In
which TO get awake and prove that
you are awake?
Do you realize that If you do not
have 800 votes or more TO your
credit when the contest department
closes Saturday evening OF THIS week
your name will not be published with
the list OF candidates on the follow
ing Monday, August Is?
Knowing these things, are you 60
ing to allow your name to be dropped
We hope not.
Don't be gutter.
Now that you are nominated and
are in the contest. make up your
mind to stay in and make motions
and a noise like ambition.
Surely you do not need to let a
little insign acant matter like 500
more votes, or less, stand between
you and staying with the race for
one of The Times forty prizes, in
Guiding eight Shetland ponies and
carts.
Why, II seems TO us as though you
ought to be able to land 800 votes
before breakfast or after supper or
within an hour and not feel very well
or try very hard.
Now just stop and think OF the dif'
ferent people that you think might
take enough interest in you and The
Times to come over with two
years or a years or six-months'
subscription.
Make a list of such prospects and
then see them and see them with a
determination TO do business If pcs
sible
Just think of it,
One new four.months cash sub
scription If taken any time during the
first period, would net you 1000 votes.
A new six-months' subscription
would give you 5000 votes.
A new years subscription would be
good for $1,000 votes.
new twoyears' subscription would
set you ahead with $4,000 votes
OF course all subscriptions must be
hand-in-hand with the cash.
SO take on new courage and grit,
get out among your relatives and
friends, rake in subscriptions and
votes and come ont in print with ny
ing colors when the candidates are
published again in The Times next
Monday
Can Still Be Nominated.
Nominations will still be accepted
after Saturday, August l6, but only
when the applicant has 500 votes in
addition to the 1000 votes that go
with the nomination.
Even those dropped from next Mon
days list of candidates. can be rein
stated II they will make a showing
with the necessary number OF votes.
Extension OF Subscri ptlons.
Remember that you are not neces-
sarily through with a man because
you have taken his subscription for
four months, six months or even
year.
Don't be satisfied with any job un-
less you have landed for two years
A fourmonths' subscription is
Are hao
months, sub" is two-base hit.
years subscription is slug for third
station and two-years' score is a
"home run"
Get as many home runs as possible
You girl candidate may not under
stand this kind OF baseball talk but
YOU boy candidate can make her wise.
But. anyway. don't forget the posi-
, bilities in this extension business.
For instance. you might see a good
friend or relative when he had an az
tack OF indigestion or after he had
paid for his wife's new bonnet and he
would put you of with a measly little
four-months' subscription.
You might see the same fellow later
when his stomach was on its good be
havior and his pocket was bulgy with
greenbacks and he would make you
grin with delight by adding FIVE dol
lars and twenty-months TO his pre-
vious "dinky'' subscription
That would "sweeten" your stand
ing with an additional $4,000 votes
providing the subscription was a new
one and providing that the deal wa:
closed on or before August %. th'
close OF the First period.
III II were an old subscription I
would contribute 1880 votes TO you
credit. and that would be we'll wortl
an effort.
Go after extensions whenever an
wherever you think II is wise an
feasible TO do so bat try and use goo'
3ud9ment in the matter
Remember the Diamond Ring.
When you are thinking of baseball
and trying to make the KIND OF one
two and thfeelbaggers and Nome run
re have been talking about. remem
her the diamond ring-the specia
orfxc to be given to the boy or CIR
