This event, we know, means great
deal to all of the contestants-and
from now on until the date above
named-why not make your efforts
commensurate with the stakes in
volved.
We want you to read this article
from start to finish and digest thor
oughly every part of it. 1t carries
message that is invaluable to yor
if your plan is to be successful and
if you are to be the victorious one
in this contest. In way, your sue
cess can only be achieved by your
own personal efforts-but at the
same time we no doubt can suggest
various ways that may prove of great
advantage to you.
First, we wish to Impress upon con-
testants the necessity of getting out
right NOW and doing the work you
no doubt have intended to do be-

lied upon, it would appear that not
a single one of the contestants has
undertaken as thorough a canvass as
it is possible to make in Boomers Fer
ry and surrounding towns and in
the country districts.
They have relied too much upon
chance meetings to present their APP
peal to friends and acquaintance,
and while many subscriptions have
come through this means, the number
could have been materially increased
by making the canvass systematic.
1t is by no means too late to do this
yet Any one of the contestants
could go over the town street by

persistency without material inter
ference with other duties, if she
set her mind to the task.
Do not delay Do not procrastin-
atel DO IT MOVE
The days and hours that you frit-
ter away now can never be recalled
but the advantage of these days de-
! voted to insistent and determined
work are of incalculable value.
Every subscription or merchants
voting coupon you get today abso-
lutely stops any other contestant
from getting that subscriptions or
coupon-furthermore, the person who
gave you that subscription becomes
impressed with YOUR candidacy, and
2 not satisfied with having given his or
her own subscription, becomes a
) booster of your campaign among his
or her friends.
Advertising pays-in this campaign
as we'll as in mercantile affairs. Let
your friends know in an unmistakable
way that you are in this contest to
? WIN.
You cannot expect them to just
E know, or guess, that you are a candi-
; date-be active in impressing the
fact upon them, and moreover, not
t permitting them to lose sight of that
: fact until the ballot box is finally
closed. In other words, your success

u play and the determination you put

I not permit a few refusals to dis
e courage you-keep on.
e Make it a point to get out on this

the task until the last gun is fired
in the campaign and the ballot boz
is closed.
