Race Is Getting Hot And Votes Are Pouring In
 Less Than Two Weeks Until the End

and diamond rings, as well as other prizes, are decided.
 The second payment plan is bringing candidates un- usual success. One candidate telephoned Wednesday that she had just completed $30 club composed entirely of sec ond payments and would this week start out on her second club.
 All candidates understand, of course, that where the first payment was new, the second payment will likewise be con- sidered as new. Lists have been mailed out showing each candidate the names of all new u b scr b CT S she has turned in. T hous san d of votes can be gained by get ting in touch with these sub- scribers and explaining how they can help the candidate by extending their subscrip- tion for short period.
 No subscriptions will be ac- cepted for longer than five years.
 Not day passes but what some candidates find 1t neces- sary to reverse their former opinion that all the territory had been covered. The can- didate who says that subscrip- tions can't be gotten is gener- ally interrupted by another candidate GETTING them. Even though The Age-Herald has a circulation running high into the thousands, it must be remembered that there are many thousands that do not read the paper-and in the same territory where the cir culation of the paper centers. Obviously, the field hasn't been scratched.
 In a little over two weeks the win ners of the 10 automobiles will be decided A little over two short weeks! It is a period filled with possibilities; time enough for any candidate in the race to make vic tory possible. The last club and gold offer opens the way to make victory certainl
 Those who are striving to win the 10 automobiles should not lose sight of the fact that there are others striving for the same end. One can never be too sure of success and the only safe way is to keep hard at it until the last minute.

The stores and homes of your neighborhood are all likely prospects Out-of-town candidates have a splendid field in the neigh boring towns, as well as their own, and rural sections that surround them. Surprising and gratifying results are obtainable this way.
 Those who are making rapid prog ress and going we'll naturally prove stumbling block to others with sim liar ambitions. Consequently, rumors are apt to become circulated that are intended to cause these progressive ones to give up the fight. Perhaps one will meet you on the street and pro cced to tell you of all the votes she has. with the direct thought of dis couraging you. Perhaps she tells her friends to tell you of the splendid luck she is having, and now she has so many votes in view that it would be folly for anyone to compete against
 All this with the single purpose of causing you to lose heart in the bat tie. You should be aware of this and pay no attention to what other con testants will tell you Probably you have in reality, just as many-or more-votes m as he has. Remember the old saying-"Don't believe any, thing you hear and only half what you see.' Keep this in. your mind and things will look different. Above all. pav no attention to such rumors, If they really had done all they. claim, rest assured they wouldn't advertise the factl
 The remaining period of the cam paign is too short to listen to rumors Accomplishment is what every candi- date is looking to-
