ANOTHER LETTER
From the Youngest Contestant and
His Proposition.

His Proposition.
1t has been several weeks since
wrote the Advertiser subscribers a
letter, but have not been idle by any
means. Mother continues to work hard
for the automobile. and she makes a
report TO us at home about twice a
week. She has begun a campaign OF
making some central point headquar-
ters and work out from there each day
returning for the night. Therefore
this accounts for her report home only
about twice week. When she reports
though, it is worth reading.
Occasionally she is notified by a
subscriber that he had a letter from
so and so asking for his subscription,
and she Immediately notifies him that
she could easily have done the same
thing, but she knew from experience
that letters by mail did not assist
much in such contest as we are hav-
ing, and too. she thought inasmuch as
the subscribers had no personal pre-
ference they should give their sub
scriptions to the contestant who val
nod his subscriptor enough to come
in person and ask for it. And what
do Won reckon happens-she gets his
subscription. The subscriber rightful-
ly feels that he has met the situation
on fair basis
