Winning Evidence Of
Popularity; Friends
Are Biggest Asset

As the close of the all-important per-
iod in the Press big gift election APP
proaehes, it is evident that the popular
itv of the various candidates in their
respective communities will play most
important part in determining the vie
tors.
The winners of the three largest
prizes will be the three most popular
persons in FL Centre and the territory
surrounding without question of
doubt.
1t takes support to win. Work is a
big factor, but the backing of friends
plays wonderful part in winning.
In addition to the magnificent gifts
awaiting them, the winners have be-
slowed upon them of being known not
alone as winners of outstanding gifts,
but as being known and heralded as
the most popular men and women of
Imperial Valley.
Winning in the Press great election
something to be proud of. The prizes
in themselves are wonderful, eXtraord-
mary compensation, but the knowledge
that winning has been made possible
because one has been able to command
the loyal, unfailing support of count
less real friends gives an added salts
faction that is perhaps, after all, as
pleasing or more so than the actual
winning o the big prizes themselves.

Gritting their teeth with absolute
determination. the candidates in the
Press Everybody Wins Something
$4,000 grand prize campaign are today
going at top speed TO aepture the lead
ership fer the coveted prizes.
1t is entirely probable that the win
ners of the big, sepedy, handsome auto
mobiles will be determined by mid
nighe Saturday, the close of the
big vote period. Saturday night ought
to tell the story.
Each candidate is striving now to
outdistance his or her rivals and to ac-
cumulate a sufficient number of votes
to be the undisputed leader in the race
for the big ears. Competition Is grow
ing more keen as the final hour of the
big vote period draws nearer. No stone
is being left unturned by the candidates
who are planning to get hold of every
possible subscription before midnight
Saturday, the fatal hour.
Race Is Fast and Close
So far the big race is ele-e-as
close as candidates could possibly run.
Today il is ANYBODY s race. The best
WAY TO insure " ltath stt tiiN tHet -
the big vote period Saturday at mid
night is to hustle out and get a few
good subscriptions. A six-year subserip-
fion means 100000 votes. The big
subscriptions are what count fastest
now.
Candidates are again advised not
TO overlook the opportunity of the
second payment PLAN Short sub
scriptions taken early in the campaign
may now be extended and the addi-
tional payment apply on the present
vote schedule, also on the 100000 ex-
ira free votes offer. Thousands OF
votes may be obtained by carefully go
ing over the territory previously COW
cred and inducing subscribers who only
signed up for a year or so to extend
their subscriptions another year--or
even five years.
The election is close. Someone, GER

This Is Your Last Call
Saturday is the big day-midnight
is the final hour of the big vote
schedule 1t S going to be a mighty
important time for the candidates who
expect to be the big prize winners. And
the way to get the prize you have set
your mind on is to secure the largest
number of votes. Now is the easiest
time to get votes-subseriptions you
obtain during the first period count
the greatest number of votes.
Get the six-vear subscriptions-they
are the biggest in vote value. But
don't pass up any one-year subscrip-
tions either. They all count and count
big these closing hours of the big
votes.
Make thorough canvass of your
friends and acquaintance for big
