Lead the List at Next Count.
The first count in The Pioneer piano
and popular voting contest was held
on Monday evening and resulted in
Miss Helen Turnbull winning b .
special prize of ten dollars in gold for
having received the largest number OF
votes up to that time.
The contest is making good headway
and 10 gathering interest each day.
The increasing interest is evidenced
by the increasing amount Of business
that is being done by the contestants.
For the past several days subscrip-
tions and merchants voting coupons
have been coming in at q lively rate,
and much earnestness is being mani
tested.
The piano, which will shortly be on
display, is = good one, and the con-
testants will want it more when they
see it and hear the tone, than they do
at the present time. OF course, it will
take some work and real effort to win
this handsome instrument-but it sure
IL is worth it.
There are several contestants we'll
up to the front in the list Of votes, and
the small difference In the standing
makes it practically an even break.
No one is far enough 10 the lead o
make any material difference, and a
lively skirmish for first place 1t the
second count is anticipated.
A good way to get subscriptions is
to ask everybody you see to subscribe
for The Pioneer. If they do not take
the paper t will be new subscrip-
tion and you will receive 900 votes. If
they already take the paper and are
paid up to the present year, get them
to renew for another year, or longer
If possible, and for each year you will
get 500 votes. If the parties are in
arrears, get them to pay the account,
and for every year you collect you
will get 400 votes. Don't. let any
60 by without asking them for their
subscription. IT contestants will 2
about this systematically they will be
surprised at the large number of sub.
seriptions they can get. And another
thing that works good for success Is
to get there first-see the parties bs.
fore some one else gets the subscrip.
tions. Start early-get busy right
now and see what little consisten,
effort will do. In regard to the mer.
chants voting coupons, good idea
is to see all your friends and have
them to always ask for coupons when
buying goods at the stores in Hope
and save the coupons for you, and
then at different times you can go
round and gather these coupons up
You will be surprised at the large
number of votes you can collect In
this way. Ask for subscriptions and
GET THEM. THAT WINS PIANO.
The second count will bs held or
June S. At this count special prize
Of ten dollars in gold will be giver
the contestant making the greatest
gain in votes. This gives every con
tsstant in the list an equal chance tc
win the ten dollars, because the votes
cast at the first count do not count or
this special prize. But all votes cas-
count on the plano and other prizes q
