FEW DAYS REMAIN OF FINAL EXTRA VOTE OFFER IN HELP-YOURSELF CLUB CAM

one big opportunity to drive home victory in The Age-Herald's great $24,SOO Help Yourself Club Cam paign. The final extra vote offer to be made during the campaign closes this coming Saturday night at o'clock. The remainder of this week should be a whirlwind of action heretofore unrecorded. The mem bers are already giving vigorous ac- count of themselves with the result that big scores are climbing upward more rapidly than at any time since the race began.
 It is quite evident that the club members participating in this cam palgn realize that wholesome effort will derive rich results, for each and every $25 in subscriptions constitutes club worth 50,000 extra votes, in additiongto the regular votes.
 To win a big prize is the one ob- 1ect firmly fixed in the mind of each member It will not be long now just little over two weeks more, in fact, until the club ends, December 18th is the closing day.
 Just little over weeks time and some member will be the winner of the $1,0S0 Nash Touring Car to be given as a Special Merit Prize. This Special Merit Prize Car offer closes December Sth. The club member who has turned in the greatest amount of cash in subscriptions during the Special Merit Prize period from No vember 18th to December Sth, will be the winner~of this beautiful car. This Special Prize Nash is given FIX IRA In addition to the other 34 regular awars.
 The regular awards consist of IA automobiles and 20 cash prizes, and those who fail to win an award will be given 10 per cent cash commission provided at least $50 in subscription payments. has been turned in during the Club.
 This is splendid array of awards to be distributed gratis among plucky men and women. And, the remainder of this week and the next two weeks will decide who the re- cipients will be.
 In the outside towns of The Age Herald's territory the public mind is largely centered on the outcome of the race. Nearly every one has a favorite member who is pluckily striving to bring honor to the town they represent and to themselves. In many cases, the entire populace has risen to action, determined to see that their favorite comes out a winner. Similar spirit Is apparent in the city of Birmingham. An army of friends

 Second Payment.
 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 secon payment and you will receive votes the same as if the payments had all been made at one time. For example: Suppose subscription to the daily and Sun day by carrier: For this subscrip tion you collected $2.55 and received 2,000 votes. Now if you can get this party to extend his subscription for three months longer, making six months in all for the second three months you will receive 1000 votes, making 5000 in all. Or, suppose subscriber had already paid you s5 for six months. If you now get this same subscriber to make another payment for six months, s5 for this second payment, you will receive 5000 votes, making 15.o00 votes In all you have received for this years subscription. When sending in such subscriptions be sure and mark on the remittance sheet by the sub scriber's name, the words "second payment" Unless 1t Is marked sec ond payment the second payment votes will not be allowed Also give the amount of the first payment.
