gantic list which totals more than
100000 in prizes and commissions.
The closing win or Lose" per
iod comes to an end on October "a.
Who will be the first to come I'M
der the wire and win the $671 Chew
rolet, the first grand awards
receive the plaudits Of an admiring
crowd Of friends and Acquaintance
es? Who will come In second and
win the 1856 Ford VS., the second
award?
Remaining Days Crucial
These are the most important
questions of the hour and the ans
wers remain with the workers. It
Is up to each member whether he
or she shall win a car or one Of the
smaller prizes. The success of each
person In the race depends ON the
efforts put forth during the re-
naming days.
No one can afford to slacken his
or her efforts now when the end is
so near. Victory can be yours If
you plug away until the last min
ute and surely you would prefer to
work now and know the sweets of
victory rather than taste defeat
because you failed to do your best.
1t has been truly said, "A gutter
never wins and a winner never
quits" There Is no single person
taking part in this race but who
can and will be better off financial
ly and in experience gained by TAX
ing part in the Herald campaign.
Danger To Avoid
There are two dangers which ev-
cry member should be sure to avoid.
They are over confidence and dis
,couragement. To become over-con-
fident Is apt to cause one to under
estimate the ability Of ones oppor-
tunity. And no enc can hope to sue
coed If he permits himself to be-
come discouraged. There is no need
for encouragement. It Is q fair
field and no favors. It Is up to each
worker to do his or her best and
go over a winner.
There is no such thing as having
too many credits to win the desired
prize, but 1t is very easy to fall
short of having the required num-
Der by slackening up during the
closing days. Remember 1t will be
Ear better to win by a million ma
jority than 1t will be to lose by the
very smallest margin.
Harley Forsyth, local manager Of
the Telephone Co., Wesley Kohl.
Superintendent of Schools, and
Art MacDermond, Sec. of the Light
Department, are the three widely
known men named to act as judges
In closing the Herald Expansion
Club circulation campaign, ending
Saturday, October oath. These men
are 90 widely known that their Sc
lection to act as judges Is sure to
be gratifying to all Of the contest
ants competing for the awards.
The judges will place sealed
ballot box in Herald office where
all members may place their sub
sccipti0ns and remittances without
permitting anyone to know how
many credits they obtain during
the last few days Of the campaign.
Each member may put his or her
suhscEiption and the money COW
ering the same In an envelope and
seal 1t and deposit 1t In the ballot
box. He does not have to tell any
person how many subscriptions he
is adding to those he has already
turned In. This ballot box will have
only a very small slot, just barely
large enough to admit a tightly
sealed envelope Of ordinary size.
This box will not be opened until
after the close Of the campaign. In
this way 1t Is impossible for any,
one connected with this newspaper
to know anything about who the
