So far, the race for the Maxwell
Touring Car which we are going to
give away, has been very exciting.
Quite a number of candidates have
done mighty good work, and the best
part of it is, that they are all keeping
practically even. AS sthe contest
gathers Roadway, the pace becomes
swifter, so don't stop working for a
minute.
There are only Jour more short
weeks in which to work and remember
that if you win, your compensation
will amount to almost 5000 per week
for the remaining time. That certain
ly is some compensation and just think
how happy you could be if it were
yours. Make up your mind that it
shall be yours-Don't bewail t he fact
that you never had any luck. Luck
has nothing to dc with winning the
car. 1t all rests with yourself. The
winner of this campaign will be the
person who takes advantage of every
opportunity from now until the close
and who doesn't waste a minutes
time in which they might be out after
subscriptions. Keep in mind that
while you are Resting" the other fell
low is probably III with his receipt
book and doing business.
The Contest will close for good and
all, on Saturday, November the 7th.
Four weeks from tomorrow. The
exact hour of the close will be an
nounced later, however you will have
notice of the closing hour at least a
week before hand, so that you will
have plenty of time to get together
your promises. The rules and regula-
tons governing the close will be pub
lished later, however, this much about
them can be said now: The contest
will close at a certain hour and no
votes may be cast after that time has
elapsed. The votes will be counted
Immediately after the voting has
ceased, by three disinterested business
men of Brookings or Bookings county.
The voting on the last three days of
the contest will be done in secret
Not even the Contest Manager know
ing how much has been done. This
method will assure each contestant of
a perfectly square deal. More about it
later.
AS our main object in offering these
fine prizes is to increase the circula-
ton of the Register, we are making
another exceptionally fine offer on
new subscriptions this week. You will
find the offer explained fully in our
advertisement in this issue, so don't
fail to read it over. This will give you
an inducement to work hard for the
new ones and will help in accomplish
ing our object. Keep after the new
ones, but don't forget that old sub
scriptions mean votes too.
The free vote coupons which have
been issued in each paper have been
dropped, so from now on, the getting
of votes depends entirely on subscrip-
tons, renewals and back accounts on
subscriptions. Use the time which
you used in gathering coupons, before,
in getting subscriptions, and keep your
eye on your standing. You'll find that
it will Increase a great deal faster.
Alright, now, just as soon as you
read the advertisement, we're off for
another week. Here's something to
tack down in your mind: 1.-The long
distance swimming championship of
America was won by a boy who did
not consider that he was defeated until
all the vitality was depleted.-He kept
on after he was tired. And therein
lies the key to all victory" Don't give
I'D Just because you are tired. Remem-
Der that the other fellow may be as
tired as you are, and that the winner
will be the one who sticks the longest
and goes the hardest while he is stick
ing.
Below are the standings of the con-
testants up to the present time. Quite
an increase has been made over the
standings last week. Watch them
grow.
