day, April 1st.

The time Is growing rather short,
gentle reader. Do you realize you
have but six days in which to reap
the benefit of the greatest opportunity
you will have during this campaign to
secure extra votes? Almost every
candidate in this campaign fully ap-
preciates this opportunity and are
putting forth every effort to gather as
many yearly subscriptions as they
can.
The campaign department wants to
impress upon every candidate that
possible. We are forced to admit that
somo few are holding back, claiming
they have no chance" mo luck"
and do not fully appreciate the mag
nitude of this offer.
Do not hold back, but get In the
campaign and secure the prize of
your choice by pluck, not luck.
Arc You q Gambler or q Worker.
The world is wheel of fortune.
Men are gamblers. They must take
the prize at which the wheel stops,
and be resigned to their fate, IL they
draw blanks. Judging them by, their
method of living, that is, the creed q
vast number Of inhabitants of this
terrestrial globe. Following the prin-
ciples embodied in that creed, we
must believe that life is all chance,
and that our destinies are guided and
ever ruled by the Goddess OF Luck"
He depends on the turn of the
wheel, or the turn Of the card. He
bets his money, in many cases he
stakes his all on 'the turns" II his
turn brings him big win," he is
happy; If it throws him small prize
he Is depressed; If he draws a blank,
he is further depressed. But If he is
game" he takes his medicine like a
man, whether he wins or loses;
whether he draws a prize or a blank.
He is either lucky or unlucky," be-
cause he trusts to luck entirely in his
gambling ventY-,.
| But on the other hand the man
who believes life is a gamble, with
luck" the controlling genius and
guarding angel, makes the mistake
that has caused the Roadway of Life
to be Uttered with Whitcned Bones
OF Millions OF Failures. In the maxi
ing or marring of mans life there
Is no such thing as luck" and chan
ces play no part whatever in the win
ming or losing of the worlds big
prizes.

or failure of the candidates In the
