35, 200 Extra Votes and S.
Extra in Herald's Contest

Five dollars in cash.
That Is the extra prize each member
who turns in $50 worth OF new sub
scriptions on or before September /
will be given.
A special offer Is announced today
which starts Saturday. August II, and
continues to September !, inclusive.
The s. cash prize Is only a small part
of the OFFER The main part and the
part that may mean winning the au-
tomobile is the offer Of a, special bal
lot OF 5000 extra votes on every sis
worth of subscriptions brought in on
or before September ].
These IS cash prizes do look easy.
1t certainly will be fine IL every mem
Der wins IS gold piece.
$4,000 Extra Credits.
Winning the IS means that the mem
Der win be given 10000 extra votes
In addition to the regular schedule
of votes as shown on the receipt
book. There is no limit to the num-
Der OF special ballots of 5000 votes a
member may secure in this way. II
you send in $50 worth of subscriptions
you will receive 10000 votes in ad-
dition to the regular number and
so on.
The subscriptions need not be all
turned In at once. as each members s
record will be kept separate. so turn
in the subscriptions as fast as you
secure them.
Biggest Chance of ALL
Here's the biggest chance that will
be offered the members of the ALI
Prize Home Subscription Club. Here
is your opportunity to pile up a lot
of votes to help you win an auto
mobile or one OF the other prizes. 1t
may be that one special ballot of
these extra votes will be all that
you may need at the finish to win
an automobile. In any event this
amount of votes will help to change
the position somewhere in the list
OF prize winners.
Now there is one point we want
to be very emphatic about. Subscrip-
tlons will never bring as many votes
as during this special offer.
Just think of the argument you may
now use, A friend will help you to
win the s. prize and he will help you
win special votes to count toward the
automobile.
AAAS SbSeAoA StACA Va ~ wash dhd
extra votes will be a great help to
those who have not Joined the club
and who wish to share in the $4,000
worth of prizes. By joining at once
and getting down to solid work you
can easily forge to the front.
II you would like to win an auto
mobile that will not cost you a cent
nothing but a little time and effort Is
all that is necessary-join today and
get busy.
Clip the nomination blank from to-
days issue. fill 1t out and mail it in.
Let's make Saturday Banner Day.
We want to see every member bring
in at least one subscription Saturday
some time between 9 a. m. and 8 p. m.
We especially urge the members in
the 1000 class to respond to the call.
1t will sure enough be Banner Day
if in sundays published list the 1000
class Is eliminated.
Do not hold back your subscriptions.
Turn them In now as fast as you get
them. You will be given credit for
the extra votes and the papers will
be started at once.
