The Reserve Votes


The Reserve Votes
Contestants should understand
that ballots which they hold in their
possession will not be published in
the paper until the ballots are re-
turned for that purpose.
The best plan is to reserve most
of your subscription ballots to cast
the last day of the contest, but it
is also well to hold good position
in the published list so friends will
see you are well up in the race.
See The Limit which is explained
at top OF the list of contestants, and
then send IN enough ballots 10 bring
your standing up to that limit. II
you send in more than the limit
will permit to be published next
week, the balance will be added
from week to week.
Clipped Coupons
The clipped coupons cannot be
held in reserve. They must be sent
in to be published before date print
ed at bottom of the coupon. 1t is
unnecessary to write the name on
each coupon. Fasten them in fiat
packages and write name of candi-
date on top. That is sufficient.
To Subscribers
Cooperation of subscribers is
asked so that errors may be avoided.
See that the date stamped on your
paper is set forward properly within
a week after you pay your renewal.
Kindly report to the Herald Office
any errors that occur. New sub
scribers should get their paper with

ster complaint at this Office.

The contest is now on in earnest
and no candidate who wishes to win
fine prize will neglect to do at
least some work gathering subscrip-
tious each and every day.
The race is proving to be very
even, in fact a very small number of
subscriptions represent the differ
ence between more than dozen
candidates. The candidate who holds
twelfth position today might be first
tomorrow IL the race continues to
be as close as it is at present there
will prabably be little difference in
the total votes of some of those who
win District Prizes and those who
win Grand Prizes.
Results produced by indidual
candidates have been small but as
there are many candidates, each do
ing a little, the results of the con-
test have been satisfactory.
In a race among so many the win
ming of the Sedan will not be diff
cult for the one who will work
steadily instead of by spurts. You
have no real strong opposition as
the subscriptions are being divided
more or less equally among many
candidates and If you begin now and
do some real hustling you can lead
the race and win the $1,000 Sedan.
Bonus Votes
For this week, ending Saturday
night, Aug. 10Th. s O'Clock, each 50
worth of subscriptions will earn
275,OO0 votes.
Each subscription earns votes as
shown by the vote table and the
275,OO0 will be given in addition, on
each and every 50 you turn in.
Turn subscriptions in one at
time or as you procure them. we
keep accurate record to determine
when you have. been credited win
enough TO complete a Club of 50.
subscriptions on incomplete Clubs
of last week wall count toward MAX

This is guaranteed to be the best
offer of any kind of the remainder
of the contest and never after Aug
ust 18th. will subscriptions earn so
many votes.
Hold the Pace
IL YOU are one OF the contestants
who had success on the Clubs OF last
week, you should by all means make
this week a good one for your cam
paign and hold the advantage you

CITY YPRISONERSTO
 TURNFARMERS, 50
 COMMISSION SAYS
Will Pay for Upkeep and Also Feed Animals When Farms Are Ready For
 Work

The Birmingham city commission is contemplating entering the farming game.
 Commissioners ". B.SCloe and W. L. Harrison, together with David stanton. city plumbing inspector. are making arrangements whereby the city will start a farm and truck gar den at East Birmingham and Green Spring park
 At East Birmingham there are 70 acres of tillable land and at Green Springs 60 acres. The city plans 10 raise hay and other feedstuffs for tho citys animals and to have gar dens to produce vegetables for the city jail consumption.
 Prisoners who languish in the city jail are just the ones to do the cul- tivating, according to the ideas of the commissioners, who thrashed the matter out at their monthly meeting yesterday with heads of departments.
 It Is hoped by this plan that large sums can be saved the city in feed and vegetable bills, while at the same time the relative cost will be small.
 The commissioners are in earnest about the project and announce they have other plans on foot to reduce operating expenses of the city that will be made public from time to time
