TWO DAYS OF
ECREATFREE
FARM CONTEST
No One In Race So Sure of
Winning that They Can
Pause for a Minute.
WHO WILL Be WINNERS?
Spend all Your Time From Now
Until Close Getting the
Big Subscriptions.
But three full working days until
close of contest,

Dut winning uHih
close of contest.
There is no one in this race so
sure of winning that they can even
pause for moment. Let everyone
get busy instantly and lose not one
single moment of these last three
days. Devote all your time to the
contest, it is well worth it. This
contest is to come to close prompt
ly ut 7 o'clock on next Saturday night,
and just think how disappointed you
will be after all these weeks of striv-
ing if you "ial down" from winning
the little 2O-acrc farm or piano.
Arrangements for the close of
the contest are now being made,
such as the selection Of Judges, etc.
The judges will be three in number
They will be mon of the very highest
standing, men who are above re-
proach, and whose decision in this
race will be accepted without question.
Now is the time to got subscrip-
tions while this phenomenal offer
of thrcc-for-onc bonus votes offer
is on. This applies to both old and
new business, new subscriptions or
merely renewals. 1t affords all con-
tcstants of equal chance To those
who have fallen little behind it
offers the opportunity if you will but
Iedoublc your efforts of catching up.
Those who have worked their hardest
will but renew their most earnest
efforts in view of the greatly in
creased reward. This big offer should
inspire everyone to the greatest
sprint during these last few days
that you are capable of, for that will
be necessary if you wish to win the
grand little farm.
Have you yet made up that list
OF relatives, friends, ncighbors, ac-
quaintanccs and fellow workers, whom
you haven't as yet approached.
If you have not, you should do so
at once, and lose no time in getting
into communication with them. Re-
member, also, those persons whom you
saw earlier in the contest and who
put you off until later date. Com
muncatc with all of these, explain
to them that you will get three times
the usual number of votes for their
subscriptions and under the circum-
stances they won't refuse.
1t is to be hoped that you are
doing everything within your power
to cinch success. Are you going to
lose for the want of little effort
and energy in these closing hours of
this race? We do not think so.
And here's another thing. 1t is
the long term subscription that counts
for the most when the triple votes
are offered. Did you ever think of
asking your friends for a subscrip-
tion about twice as long as you
originally intended? Try it and see
how very often you will find them
willing to do just as you suggest.
They realize just as well as you do
that this is the most trying stage
of the race and that their help may
mean everything to you. They want
to help all they can. 1t all depends
upon how you approach them as to
how substantial that help will amount
to. Ask them for a five, four, or
three years subscription, and you
will get them before you have run
all the way down the scale.
Get out among your friends and
acquaintance, and hustle as you
never did before. Stir up everybody
who is at all interested in the cam
paign.
Make the closing days of the big
show lively ones.
