are the three ways of getting sub
scriptions, and if used systematical-

for you.
Many people will promise you
subscriptions at a later date. If
everyone promised you. you know
that your standing wouldn't in

you had a chance. Try for them
now, because that lifts up your
standing, and shows the people
that you are in the race, and that
you are in to win.
This week. you also know that
their subscription will count more
for you. Extra votes will not be
| given until the close of the contest
and so if they wait until then. their
subscriptions will not count as
many votes for you. With those
who promise for a later date, you

keep track of that, and when the
time comes, be sure to be there.
