 | MANY NEW ENTRIES
 Not only are present candidates becom- ing alive to the immensity of the new of- | fer. but scores of others are awakening , to the possibilities embodied in it. The tgold distribution, of course. assisted in putting new enthusiasm into the cam
 paign, but an additional offer of extra
 votes made at the same time convinces
 everyone that the chances of winning one of the ten superb motor cars, or one Of the two score other prizes are still out
 standing. As consequence, new entries ! are frequent and many ol those nom | mated some time ago, but who have hesi- tated to take an active part in the cam | paign. have found the inducement too 1, great to withstand.
 | One candidate who had postponed her | activity in the campaign made this state ment:
 | Il thought the offer of the ten auto mobiles was wonderful, but this gold well, just can't stay out of it any longer. And now that have started, m going | to work hard to win the gold and then | the automobile-just any of them have never heard of such wonderful offer | in my life"
 1 And she took the receipt books she had l come to get and left with that sort of | determination.
 OPPORTUNITY NOW RIPE This period just starting will prove the | most attractive of the entire campaign. | from a vote-building standpoint. as welt | as many others. The tremendous number | of extra votes with all clubs of new sub scriptions, will enable those now starting | to get into a commanding position within
 few days And when these subscrip- 1 tions are being obtained the remittances will apply on your chances of sharing In | the distribution ot gold prizes. Any ex- | tra vote offeai made following the pres ent one will not be nearly so liberal, and | | bear in mind that the time to exert your | best efforts is while the reward for them | is great
