Array of 10000 Club" Prizes
Work an irresistible Appeal
Longer Delay in Entering Contest for Automobiles Pianos
Grafonola or District Honors Dangerous with So
Many Entered in Lively Race

With two months yet. to catch and over
take the leaders in THE Washington
Herald's $4,000 Club" contest. readers are
daily entering, with the bright hope of
riding in a nice. big. cozy automobile; lis
tening to the music of their favorite prima
donna, <or dancing to the strains of their
favorite music from their own piano.
The glittering array of so prizes. one
for each thousand Of circulation. is work
ing an irresistible appeal on scores Of
live" persons, who. instead OF wasting
time talking of war and weather. are get
ting subscriptions for The Washington
Herald. and getting their friends to save
| the votes for them.
Regardless OF the fact. however.
whether you win an automobile, or
piano, or one of the other prizes, you get
fully repaid for the effort put forth to
get the subscriptions. This campaign
cannot really be called a contest. for in
a contest one sometimes words hard and
gets thousand Of votes, only to be left in
the lurch, because some one got a few
more.
The campaign will last Just long
enough to allow the contestants to see
all of their friends without interfering
with either their or the contestants busi-
ness. y few minutes chat with the ac-
quaintances you meet every day and The
Washington Herald doubtless will be the
means of winning an automobile or a
Bradbury player-piano or at least q
prize commensurate with the effort put
forth.
Longer delay in entering ones name as
a contestant, however, is dangerous. on
account of the shortness Of the campaign.
1t is advisable to start today, before
| those who did start early are so far in
the lead that it will be hard to catch
| them.

applicable in this instance than any
other.
