DID GOOD WORK ON THE CHINA OFFER
During the Next Week We are Going
to Make it Especially to the Inter
est of Candidates to Work

During the next week, we are going
to make it especially to the interest of
each candidate to work extremely
hard. We are making an offer which
will mean a great many votes to you
if you take advantage of it. A great
many more votes than you could other
wise get. If you are working for the
Auto in earnest, get busy on this and
see of how much you are capable.
The Offer
On each club of subscriptions
amounting to SIS turned in during the
time stated in the above heading, we
will give 10000 extra votes. The sub
scriptions which make up these clubs
may be either old or new, and can be
for any length of time. Also-On each
club of NEW subscriptions turned in
during the same time, which amounts
to SIS, we will give $4,000 extra votes.
Remember the dates between which
this offer is in force, and see how
much you can do on it. Get in all that
is possible. Go after the new ones
and don't pass III any opportunity of
getting one. These extra votes will
be given on just as many clubs of the
required amount as you turn in, so get
as many as possible. Keep in mind
that we will not consider the new sub
scriptions in more thar one of the
offers. That is, your clubs of new sub
scriptions must not be included in
your clubs of Old and New. If you
don't understand that,-read it over
again. Then if it is not clear, get on
the phone and call the Contest Man
ager at once. Don't start out with a
halfway understanding of the offer.
Be sure that you understand it, and
then open the throttle and go full
speed.
In order that country contestants,
and those who are living in other
towns of the county may have just as
long a time to work on the offer as
those who live in town, we will ac-

late in reaching us, provided they
have been postmarked on the closing
date of the offer-October 18th. This
method gives everybody a fair deal
and as long a time to work on the
offer, as any of the others.
The Chinaware offer created quite
a good deal of interest and dishes were
awarded to quite a number of contest
ants. The names of the winners of
dinner sets will be published in next
weeks issue of the paper in connection
with the publication of the names of
those who won the 16 Prize ballots.
There are a great many things which
come up during a campaign of this
kind which tend to discourage the var
ious candidates. Many of these things
are of very small consequence. Well,
in fact most of them are, SO if you
meet with obstacles and discourage
ments, don't let them bother you.
What's the use? Remember that the
other contestants are meeting with the
same sort of things and that you are
not the only one who has met with
something that seems hard to get
around. There are a great many ways
of coping with propositions of that
sort and the one who finds the right
way to meet them will be the winner
of the auto. 1t stands to reason that
you can't win an auto, If you get dis
couraged and quit, so stay in the
game. Be ~persevering. Remember
the motto of that invincible ~sea-fighter,
Perry, Don't give up the ship" Make
your motto 81 WILL" and stick to it.
Be enthusiastic. Work for success,
make up your mind hat you're going
to be successful. Think success, talk
success and you will be successful.
Don't go at it in a half-hearted sort of
fashion, but do the work with your
whole heart and soul.
You will perhaps meet a great many
people who will tell you that there is
no chance. That you can't win, and
all the rest Of that sort of rot. Let it
slip out your other ear. They don't
mean it-they don't know what else to
talk about. 1t doesn't make any diff
ference what kind of an undertaking
you go into, there are always a bunch
of people who will tell you 1t can't be
done. It's true no matter what you
are trying to accomplish. You'll find
,em every place. II you listen to them,
