contestants have been waiting for
their friends to do the work for them.
The friends of the contestants have
been quite loyal in this contest, but
.it is a fact that people are not going
to over-exert themselves in behalf of
any contestant who does not want the
prize enough to goI out after the sub
fscriptions.
AS a final word to the contestants,
we would say that during these last
three days, if they are really of a
mind to win, they have ample time to
do some mighty fine work. The prizes
are worth this effort, and the five
winning contestants will be we'll re-
paid for three of the hardest days
work they, have ever done. And
those contestants who do not happen
sto be among the five winners will be
piling up their commissions, for every
one OF the contestants who have turn
ed above $500 will receive check
for ten per cent. commission on all
collections made by her. This is one
OF the prettiest things about The
Herald's contest. Everybody gets
paid. Ten per cent. is more than is
ordinarily paid for collecting, so
there is no chance to lose in this con-
test. Every contestant either gets
prize, or is paid according to the
work accomplished.
& These commission checks, we
imagine, will come in mighty nice,
too. Right near Christmas, when
everybody likes some spending
money. By getting a few subscrip-
tions to The Herald, any one of the
contestants can easily make enough
extra money to buy Christmas gift;
for relatives and friends.
