 'Reearding the contests, it was learned that the most popular mar ried woman contest was dropped and the rings return to the Porter & Dy- son company; that the difference be- tween the printed ballot and the of hcial tally sheet, embracing other contests. is due to the fact that many free ballots were given to keep up the interest. but the prizes were awarded in accordance with amount of money actually received for the votes of each Contest-that is the contestant having the largest amount of money paid for tickets received first prize, and the second largest amount the second prize; that the homely man contest were cheap rings and were so advertised in the papers and in the store windows: that all other prizes were valuable. as may be seen from the prices paid and shown in the detailed statement above; that the cash accounts were balanced each night and the mone%

Sl,bscriDtiOn Due

This week we are revising our sub
scription list, and the subscribers OF
the Democrat should look at the date
opposite their names on the label OF
their paper and this will tell whether
or not your time is out. For instance
1920" opposite your name means
that your subscription expired on
December 1st 1920. The first number
is for the month, the next for the day
of the month, and the third for the
year. If the figures show that your
time is out, we would appreciate an
early renewal. Paper Is so high that
we cannot afford to send a lot OF pa
pers to people who do not want them.
II, say 100 subscribers on our list are
getting the Democrat but fail to notify
us and not want to pay US, 1t would
mean loss to us In actual cash and
work of between $4,000 and $4,000
a year. So you see that with money
scarce and having to pay cash to our
printers every Saturday night and big
paper bills the first Of each month,
that we must have money coming IN
| all the time with which to meet these
obligations. We shall therefore clean
ND the list by the first Of the year,
and should you be one Of those cut
off you will know that your subscrip'
ton was not paid for another year By
yourself or friend.
