~ But 10 return to the Honor Roll
;tace--and it surely was literal race
Mrs. Jeanette Ford, of Fairmont,
was found to have turned in the larg-
est report, and thus secured the Gov
eted position on today's Honor Roll,
and wins the large two-pound box of
Huyler's Chocolates. We wish TO take
this opportunity of congratulating Mrs.
who are SO Loyalty supporting her ef-
forts.
Miss Elwilda Miller, of Fairmont,
was very close second for the Honor
Roll position. The difference in these
two reports was very small. Both la
dies should be highly commended on
their efforts.
Honor Roll and the free Huyler's
Chocolates close Saturday night. These
last two days are going to be busy
ones, so If you are holding any sub
scriptions now, be sure to get them in
on time to secure position on the
Honor Roll some day this week.
This the Big Week.
This is the big week. This week
everyone is lining up to support the
candidates OF their choice, and will
start the preliminary struggle, which
will return many candidates winners
in a few more weeks. You must do
your part this week, to help make it
the biggest week OF all. This week
you hear rumors anu rumors and ru.
mors. The wise ones will attempt to
give you advice, which, if you heed,
will be sure TO have bearing on your
credit when the winners are announc.
ed. Many are trying to compare this
campaign to other campaigns which
have gone before. To such, the Man
ager can but offer q word-dOn't do 1t.
There Is just one way to win in the
Golden Festival, and that is TO do your
very best each day, as the days go by.
Do not put off your hardest work until
the last few weeks or the last few
days, for If you do, you will lose far
more than you will qain-remembe
that. The people who really want to
win are working every day, and when
you make up your mind to go to work,
few dayG or weeks before the end,
you will find that the territory has
been covered and the subscriptions
which you were depending upon have
been given to some one else.
Plan to make each day day of ac-
tual accomplishment. Get some votes
and subscriptions from somewhere,
somehow.
Festival Very Even.
There has been no change IN the
comparative standing of the leaders
in The West Virginian's Great Golden
Festival for nearly two weeks. Every
one who is near the top seems to real
ize that he must keep working to hold
his commanding position. Many of
tho others are realizing that a little
well.directed effort will bring them
closer and closer the leaders as each
day comes to close. No doubt there
will be some who ara close to the front
now who will lose their positions at
the end of the week, by over-confi.
dence. There are few who seem to
feel that they have reserve enough.
To these the Manager can but offer
the oft repeated word of advice:
) It's better to win by mile than lose
by foot"
How to Win.
After you have attained a high po-
sition, 1t will be necessary for you
20 hold It these next few weeks. The
struggle win be more carefully
planned during these coming weeks.
Heretofore II has been more OF hit
or miss campaign. All the candidates
have been calling upon their friends
for help, rather than planning sys.
