How to Get Votes.

Candidates should see as many
friends as possible and request them
all to save the vote coupons published
each day in the paper with the full
page ad A ballot box is placed in
the office of The Press and contest
ants and their friends are invited to
deposit their ballots in that box or to
mail them to the Contest Manager.
Coupons are void one week after pub
lication.
Votes With Subscriptions.
The quickest way to get votes is
by subscriptions paid in advance for
such periods as subscribers find con-
venient. When subscriptions are paid
in advance for full year period fifty
times as many votes are issued as
in cases where the period paid for is
only one month. Full year subscrip-
tions will come easily after large
number of regular readers become in
terested in the campaign. The more
people who save coupons for contest
ants, the more boosters those contest
ants will have

Washington, Feb. 6-The Mexican
embassy and the rebel junta an
nounced simultaneously today that a
decisive struggle between rebels and
Huertistas is at hand. The embassy
said Huerta probably will take the
field within ten days. He is expect
ed to assume the aggressive immedi-
ately. They declare that with Hu-
erta personally at the head of the
troops there is no question but that
they will stamp out the rebellion
quickly.
The capture of Mazatlan, reports
of which the rebel junta accepts as
true, will be followed speedily by the
fall of Torreon and Tampico, and in
side of thirty days by the capture
of Mexico City, rebel leaders assert.
Reports are current here that the
rebels have negotiated loan of $685.

Prominent Families Are
Represented in First
List of Nominations

That the ladies of Imperial Valley
recognize the extraordinary opportu-
nity afforded them to win very clas-
sy automobile by only a few weeks
effort among their frienos is evil
denced by the number, character and
standing of the first to be nominated
in the Grand Popularity Contest just
announced by the Imperial Valley
Press.
Time Worth $500 a Week.
AS the contest will last only six
weeks from tomorrow, the time OF
some lady residing in this valley is
now worth more than 5000 week,
for the Capital Prize Hupmobile is
worth $1,275. Even winners of the
smaller prizes will be handsomely re-
warded, for even the fourth contest
ant will receive 5000 worth of furni-
ture, to be selected by herself from
the comprehensive stock carried at
the Wing furniture store.
No Losers.
Every candidate who enters the
contest and makes an effort to win
will receive some prize, for 10 per
cent cash commissions on new SUBJ
scriptions will be paid all who enter,
turn in $40 or more in subscriptions,
yet fail to win any other prize. 1t is
doubtful if there will be any such can
didates. Those who make an effort
are certain to find results come so
much faster than they expect that
they will become sufficiently enthusi-
astic to finish among the leaders.
Popularity Chief Essential.
Personal popularity of the candidate
is the most important factor in her
success. By popularity is meant the
candidate with large number of
friends and acquaintances in the Val
ley. Hard work is by no means as
important as some people think. Can
didates are limited to the number of
their friends and acquaintances. No
one can do as we'll among strangers,
and candidates are not advised to at
tempt to secure subscriptions from
strangers. Friends will give subscrip-
tions for a full year period in most
instances, while strangers, taking less
interest in the success of a candidate.
will pay in advance for only month
or two. A year subscription carries
as .many votes as fifty for one month.
1t will require only a few subscrip-
tions for year to make up win
ming score.
