APPROACHING THE END.

Now we are on the home stretch,
and time only will tell as to who
will be the winners. There are now
several candidates whose standings
are not great way apart, and so
the time that now remains will
practically decide the race. Eleven
days will tell the story, and it is up
to you whether or not you will win.
Beginning yesterday we are giving
you the last chance you will have
for extra votes: The offer is divided
into three different parts and is fully
explained in the advertisement in
this issue. Read it over carefully,
and keep one of the papers, tor flu
ture reference. You want to have
this in mind so that you can tell
how many extra votes your subscrip-
tions will entitle you to.
Perhaps the most important feature
of the work that will be done from
now until the close will be as to who
will succeed in getting the long term
of subscriptions. These things should
be at their warm point right now
and there should be no limit to your
work, as it is a Ford that you are
working for and it is worthy of
any effort.
It's the final squirt, candidates.
There isn't one moment that you can
spare, for each one should mean
votes to you. Just eleven days, and
then it will all over but the shout
ing, and you want to be the one that
shouts. Of course there is little
matter of $4,000 which you will
win, or the same thing as that much,
which don't look very small to most
of US, but the fact that you can do
the shouting, it seems to me,
would be the most important of all.
This has been fast and furious race
from the start. First one candida tie
in the lead by a small margin, and
then another, no one ever having very
much advantage. Now we are at the
close, and l don't think that there
are any of you who are "winded''
and it is the most important part OF
all. The winning of such race is
certainly worth whole lot to per-
son, and you should have the Ford.
Remember that the offer of this
week closes at 5 p. m. next Tuesday
This is so that all reports will be in
the Office on Wednesday morning, and
we can make a count of the votes on
that day.
Of course you want to turn in
long term subscriptions on Tuesday,
for that is your last chance on extra
votes, and they are certainly worth
while. They may be the means of
winning or losing that car for you,
so get after them.
You cannot turn in too many. You
know that it is a great deal better,
to win that Ford by thousands and
thousands majority than to lose out
on account of one more subscription
that you might have turned in. To
be safe turn in all that you possibly
can. You sure would be kicking your
self, if you neglected to turn in just
one or two more or even more than
that, if it lost that $500 prize Ford
for you.
Remember that Tuesday is abolute-
ly the last day that you can get extra
votes on your subscriptions. Satur-
day is the close, and you want to have
all you can on each day, but try to
do the most of it on or before Tues
day, as that's really your best chance.
Don't lose sight of the fact that
the long term subscriptions count up
the fastest. This is the basis that
you want to be working on now, and
the fact that you can gain votes so
rapidly should make better your
chances of winning. You know you
can get them if you think they will
win for you. Get them, for it
stands to reason that if you are going
to let things slump it would be an
awfully lucky moon that would bring
you that car. In about nine hundred
and ninty nine times out of a thou
sand that moon would fail to shine.
