Candidates Make Extra Effort As Closing Day Of Special
 Prize Offer Dralus Mead

As the end of the last Special Merit Prize, offer draws near, the rank and file of candidates who are engaged in The Age-Herald's great $24,S00.O0 Help Yourself Club Cam patgn are engaged in the supreme test of their sales ability and, are working fast, feverishly and furious ly in their search for subscriptions that will be the means or some lucky person winning the handsome Nash touring car, the last of the merit prizes. They are putting all their tnergies, all their thoughts, their whole beings, against the rest of the field. Each is striving, as never be- fore, to annex the beautiful and coveted car.
 There are more reasons than one for all this hubbub-the intricate value of the prize is enough to excite any one to their best efforts in order to capture 1t, but, aside from that, it is to be recalled that " thing of beauty is joy forever" and, in every sense of the word this touring car is one that will make the most aloof of passers- by turn their heads to take second look.
 The prize seekers are leaving no stone unturned in their frantic search for subscriptions. Several candidates phoned to the club manager yester- day and said that in spite of the rain they found it easier to getssubscrip- tions than heretofore. One candi was, she found the people at home. Those who stay at home, thinking that they can restssgon their past laurels and still hold their position, are very apt to get a shock at the close of the campaign.

There is only one way to wln' ana that is by WORKING.
 Get subscriptions-Get "Second Payments"-Boost your scorel
 O O O
 Second Payments.
 During the early part of the cam paign a number of your friends may have given you a short time sub scription, thinking you did not have the sticking qualities necessary to win. They told you they would watch your progress, and if they thought you were going big" they would help you with an additional subscription payment later. You may take this second payment and you will receive votes the same as if the payments had been made at one time. For example; suppose your friend gave you three months subscription to the Daily and sun day by carrier, for this subscription you collected $2.55 and received 2,000 votes Now if you can get this three months longer, making SIX months in all. for the second three months you will receive 4,00O votes, making 5000 in all Or, suppose a subscriber had already paid you 70 for six months. If you now get tnls second payment, you will receive 5000 votes. making 15,000 votes Tn all you have received for this years s subscription. When sending in such subscriptions be sure and mark on the remittance sheet by the sub scribers name, the words second payment" Unless it is marked sec ond payment the second payment votes will not be allowed. Also give the amount of the first payment.
