Closing Particulars
Read this carefully and be sure
that you understand it. The contest
closes on Saturday, Oct. oath, at
7 p. m. All reports must be in the
ballot box by that time. Mail re-
ports must REACH Lancaster early
on fhe closing day, so there will be
no chance of them being late. 1T
WILL BE BEST THAT YOU MAKE
YOUR RERORT IN PERSON.
The contest manager will make his
last count on Oct. goth in the evening
and in the ballot box will be where
you place your reports from that on.
Remember that all credits will be
placed in the ballot box where the
Judges will count them on the last
day.
The ballot box will be sealed and
locked on Wednesday morning and
from that time on members may have
the privilege of placing their reports
directly in the ballot box together
with the money to correspond, in
stead of turning them over to the
Contest Manager, as has been done
formerly. However, if members
wish to make their reports to the
manager they can do so as usual and
place their credit certificate in the
ballot box. If you place your re-
port in the ballot box, you must put
it in sealed envelope WITH THE
MONEY before dropping in the box.
Be sure that your totals are correct
and that you have the right amount
of money to cover the report. Doing
it that way it will be absolutely
secret and no one will know how
much you have reported but yourself.
The money to cover the reports
which are placed in the ballot box on
the last two days must be at least
three fourths actual cash, money
orders drafts or certified checks rather
than uncertifed personal checks.
At exactly z p. m. on the last day
the judges will open the ballot box
in the Union State Bank and count
the credits. They will count the
credits that are in the ballot box
which will include all ballots receiv-
ed during the contest. We invite
each member though to call IN be-
fore the last day and check up with
the manager in order to see that
there are no mistakes.
Owing to the call for quick and
accurate work on the part OF the
judges only the three Judges, the
Editor, the Contest Manager and the
Contestants will be present at count
ing.
The count will be made immediate
ly after 7o'clock p. M, on Saturday,
Oct. "a. Remember all reports must
be in the ballot box by that time or
they will not be counted. Just as
soon as the credits are counted and
checked, the judges decision will
be announced at the Bank. In order
to take up as little time as possibl e
with the counting of the credits, the
judges will count them only once,
checking as they go, but If any con-
