SUBSCRIPTION
CONTEST Is ON
WITH A RUSH
Candidates are in Field and All
Are Doing Good Work in
Piling up the Votes
EIGHT MORE WORKING DAYS
Most Enthusiastic Lot of Young Lad
les He Has Seen, Says the
Contest Manager

The Courier Reporters big subscrip-
tion contest started off with enthus-
iasm this week. G. L. Perkins, the con-
test manager, and his wife arrived
in town the first Of last week and
within few days number of young
ladies' were enthusiastically at work,
with the result that long list of new
subscribers and large votes for favor
ite candidates are being turned in at
headquarters. The people are warm
ing up to the contest like bears to a
honey tree, and nearly all of the con-
testants are sure to find friends who
are going to turn in subscriptions that
will bring them votes. That will count
wonderfully we'll when the final wind :
up comes, as every new subscriber
obtained by contestants friend
counts just as much as though she
obtained them herself. Several con-
testants have already received big
boosts in their vote totals through
friends who have voluntarily subscrib-
ed and asked that the votes be record
ed for their favorite candidates.
The contest manager says that no
where has he seen more enthusias-
tic lot Of workers than those who are
engaged in the Courier-Reporter's con-
test. All districts surrounding Ken
newick are represented and the way
some of the neighboring districts such
as Richland, Hover, Finley, Routes
one and two are going to show up in
the final results will surprise those
who are not in close touch with the
contest, If present showings are main
tanned. This will be done if the work.
ers keep faithfully on the job, for
their friends know the paper and most
Of them want it anyway.
To any who may be in doubt about
the value of the rewards in store for
the young lady workers, the Courier
Reporter would say, go and look at
the show window at VanNorsdall's,
where they are on display. We feel
sure that you will agree they are all
that is claimed for them. Talk with
Mr.. VanNorsdall. He will be glad to
give you all information regarding
the prizes.
Hustlers Will Win
In the outset of the campaign we
would like to say to the contestants
- that the one who wins the greatest re-
ward will be the one who keeps most
persistently at the task. Some, in
times past, who have engaged in a
move of this kind, have made the mis-
take of easing off in their final effort
after making fine start, thinking
that it would be easy to jump in near
the close and repeat their successful
beginnings, only to find that some
slower but more persistent worker
had invaded the field and picked up all
the worth while votes they thought
would surely be theirs. If you would
win you must keep at the work every
dal. You have only eight more days
to gather in subscriptions.
Two of the most practical prizes
among those being offered are the two
scholarships in the Blair Business col
iege, of Spokane. This school is
known far and wide and its standing
is among the highest of the CONNER
clal schools of the Northwest for
thorough and efficient methods in fit
tlng students for positions in the bus
mess world-or any other for that
matter. A young lady can have no
better fortune befall her than to have
tne advantages of this school.
