Of liberty and justice. The time may
not be far distant when the whole
Norwegian nation may turn beiserk.
For the smouldering Norwegian rage
is day by day coming nearer to the
flaming point. Like the berserker
wolfmen Of old, she may fly at the
throat Of her enemy. And if she does,
the Prussian monster will know that
he has been in somewhat Of a serious
encounter.
Before the war Norway possessed
q merchant marine which was one Of
the greatest in the world. The flag
Of Norway was more abundant than

lief Of Norwegian victory save by the
aid and protection of the greater enc

caution would be cast aside. A Nor

be indeed a berserk nation.
Recently we read that three Nor

Then again, no candidate will ever
know the standing of another. Fair
ness, protection to the early starters,
facts and nothing more constitutes
the foundation of the principles on
which the Shower of Gold will be
conducted.
Every candidate has the right of
way with plenty of room for new en-
tries. Just one vote more than youl
competitors and the grand prize of
$500 is yours. Just as easy as it looks,
Call Or write and let US explain.
Advice to Parents
The manager of the Shower of Gold
contest has been through several
campaigns similar to this one, and
wishes to give parents of babies en-
tered in the contest a few words Of
advice. In the first place, every avail
able subscription should be turned in
at once in order that as good start

days. People always like to help those
who help themselves, and if it is seen
that advances are being made from
day to day, it is certain that assist
ance will come from every quarter.
Just see your friends today. Interest
them in the contest and have them
save the coupons which are published
weekly in the Star. Do not overlook
a subscription and you will be sur
prised how rapidly your votes will
crawl up.
Just make up your mind to win the
grand prize, and do not let anything
interfere with that determination.
The effort is not great and the
awards are so exceptionally liberal as
to be worth every endeavor put forth
Don't Be Discouraged
Rumors will be circulated from.
time to time in the contest, regarding
the strength or support of such and
such a candidate, etc. These stories
are started, as rule, to brighten out
the timid. Do not be Influenced by
them. Make your own fight and let
the others worry about you. It is toe
early in the race for anyone to at
tempt to anticipate probable results
Voting Rules
No candidate viii be permitted to
poll more than 5000 votes more than
the leading candidate had to his OF
her credit in the previous published
list.
All votes in excess of the limit are
retained at the Shower of Gold de-
partment and are voted from day to
day as the rules permit. So if you are
one who has more votes in the Show
er of Gold department don't worry
they will be credited in due time and
in accordance with the rules.

Paste this in your haiti If you want
to win that $500 this is the time for
serious action on your part. One SUBJ
scription today during Booster per-
iod is worth in round figures many
times as many votes as it will be dur
ing the last period of the contest.
Doesn't that spell OPPORTUNITY to
you? 1t does. And it spells success for
your baby, too.
If you haven't seriously considered
entering your baby's name in the
Shower of Gold campaign, hesitate no
longer, act today, for Booster period
is the chance you've been waiting for.
Enter the Shower of Gold Booster
Period Today
Booster Period" of the Stars
Shower of Gold for Babies is all the
name implies. 1t gives those who
made most of their efforts chance
to place themselves so far in the lead
that it will be impossible for those
waiting until later to overcome the
big bonus votes obtained by the early
entrants.
Candidates are cautioned against
the advice of their friends who tell
them to hold off until later with their
subscriptions.
The Shower of Gold department
positively guarantees the offer in eff
feet until Feb. 9th the largest offer of
votes ever to be given in the contest.
It guarantees that every yearly sub
scription turned in up to that date to
equal more votes than yearly sub
scriptions turned in during the last
period. Why? Because the Shower of
Gold department wants to protect
those who get in early from the per-
son who, in an effort to attain some
unwarranted honor would resort t.
his check book to defeat his compe-
titor.
There will positively be no chance
for anything like this, as the votes
decrease to such an extent that it
would be folly for anyone to attempt

Can you realize in Booster period
an opportunity for success?
Here is an opportunity for new en-
tries in the magnificent Shower of
Gold for Babies. Booster period is
the contestants harvest. 1t is pos
itively the largest offer OF extra votes
to be made during the entire contest;
never again will subscriptions count
for as many votes as they will during
the Booster period which closes Feb
9th. You can enter the contest to-
day, and in a few days store up a
reserve vote that will put your baby
under the ribbon a winner when the
campaign comes to close. Those who
wait until later in the contest will
lose the advantage of the Booster
votes and to lose such an apparent
advantage will mean much. To en-
brace the opportunity means more
it means gold for you and your baby
