CONTESTANTS ARE HAIR
VESTING SUBSCRIPTIONS
Now is the Time to Lay Up Heav,
Reserve While the Club Offers
Hold Good
LET YOUR MOTTO BE 'AIM HIGH

The voting this week in the
contest looks like a game of Tit
for Tat" 1t keeps the public
guessing who will be in the lead
each day, and makes the winners
in the final count more and more
uncertain.
There is no reason why the
contestant should not lay up for
herself a heavy reserve with the
club offers we are making. These
offers are made as an incentive
to friends and contestants must
take advantage of it. Candidates
do not have to publish their
votes unless they choose. We
issue a voting certificate for all
votes turned in and not published.
Each of the young ladies will
want just as many reserve votes
as she can possibly get. With a
motto, Aim High" and an arm
full of Il Wills" it is easy to be
a winner.
No active worker should rest
for a day or two if her name ap-
pears near the top of the list
today. While they are resting
they must bear in mind they are
losing hundreds and thousands
of votes. Absolutely do not let
up, but keep busy now until the
close.
The working days can almost
be counted until the end of the
campaign. The time for half
hearted work is past. The good
| Judgment of the contestants
should warn them this is a big
affair and the prizes too valuable
to lose. If some of them intend
| to have a look in at the grand
| finale they must do good work.
/ The greater number of subscrip-
tions the losing contestants have,
| the larger their commission and
the more Christmas money they
will be able to spend.
The second club offer is in eff
feet on Friday, Dec. 4. This
offer is in effect until Thursday,
Dec. 10. Do not lose sight Of
the fact that each club deceases
| in vote value. These offers are
positively the only inducement
for votes we will make. The
last days of the contest there
will be no extra offer. 1t is an
easy matter to understand that
subscription now is worth more
than it will be a week from now.
With this fact in mind it be-
hooves all subscribers to get in
their renewals before it is too
late to count heavy for their fa-
vorite contestant. We want ev-
cry citizen in this county to have
a hand in this affair. If one fails
to see the young lady of their
choice, they may send their sub
scription to The Journal office
with instructions to whom it is
to go and their votes will be duly
credited to her account.
The contest department is re-
ceiving letters every day from
friends Of contestants with SUBJ
scription enclosed. This indicates
that interest in the contest is
widespread.
The diamonds are on display
at Pound Kincannon-Elkin Co.
jewelry store. We invite the
public to call and inspect the
stones. We are anxious that you
realize the unusual offer we are
making. These stones are clear,
fawIess diamonds and worth ev-
cry dollar as represented.
