offer in the mammoth SUBJ
scription drive on THE INDIE
PENDENT found most of the
workers in the drive still high
" enthused and determined to
work harder than ever during
the remaining days of the drive
to poll enough votes to win
one of the best prizes to be
given. Naturally some of the
candidates did better than
others but still no one has a
sufficient lead to warrant any
let-up during the rest of the
campaign.
Without question the campaign. so
far. has proven TO be the hardest
fought battle of it's kind ever before
staged in this section of the State. and
all of the candidates deserve praise for
the excellent results they have OBJ
tained. When it is taken into con.
sideration that over thousand new
subscriptions have been added to the
list of readers of the paper. besides
the hundreds of renewal subscriptions
it is easily understood just how hard
the different candidates have worked.
At this time Of the year when farm
erS are short it takes continual plug.
ging TO collect subscriptions and the
results of the campaign have proven
that the livest and most energetic
workers of this section were enrolled
as candidates.
Final Extra Vote Offer In Effect Now
The second and final vote offer
of the campaign is in effect until
Wednesday. June 9th. just three
days before the close Of the cam
paign. Up to. and including this date
an extra club of 10000 extra votes
will be allowed on each and every
$500 in subscriptions collected.
This means that one subscription now
is equivalent to two during the closing
period as n one year subscription now
averages 1000 votes, where the same
subscription the closing period only
counts 1000 votes.
The subscriptions taken this period
do not count nearly as many votes ms
were allowed last week, as it was
announced in the beginning that the
, votes would decrease each period.
However. it is readily. seen that this
period is very important as one sub
scription taken now is worth two at
the finish
As announced in the opening ad-
vertiSement of the drive the campaign
will close on June Both, and all prizes
awarded on that date. Some of the
candidates have been advised by their
friends that the campaign would be
extended and the closing date post
poncd. This rumor was probaly start
cd because of the extremely short
time allowed the workers in which
to get votes. but under no cirrum-
stances will the time be extended and
those who are expecting additional
time i'm which to secure votes are
doomed to disappointment as at nine
O'Clock. Saturday, June Both. the pools
will close and no more subscriptions
be accepted.
EXTRA PRIZE THIS WEEK
On account of the tremendous in
terest manifested and the excellent
work performed by the candidates the
Publisher of THE INDEPENDENT
has furnished an extra prize for the
candidates this week. 4 beautiful

wells. and twenty five year case will
be given the candidates who polls the
largest number of votes from Mon
day morning. June 18th. to Saturday
evening. June 23rd. This prize is ex-
ira and in no way conflicts with the
other prizes to be given away.
All votes taken this week will not
only count on the club offer which al
lows 10000 extra votes on each SD.
in subscriptions collected. but also
counts on the gold watch. One can
win both the watch bracelet and the
STUDEBAKER
Although the extra prize is not
nearly so valuable as some OF the
other prizes 10 be awarded on the 30
tn. still it is well worth having. and
all votes that count on the watch al
so count for the other prizes.
No Other Candidates May Enter
The bars of the campaign have
been put up and no other nominations
will be accepted in the drive, so no
one need look for dark horses. One
of the candidates in the list below
are going to drive away in the
STTDEBAKER while the others will
win the other advertised prizes. OF
course it is possible that not all Of
the ones mentioned will finish in the
drive as the rules are that each one
must secure a many az five subscrIp-
tions weekly. HOw..er, anyonc who
is taking any interest at all Will bacd'
