In fact everything is free, and en top of that you are guaranteed a prise .or commission, making The Dtspatch-News' campaign doubly attractive. . Third: The same number of votes are given with a renewal subscription as with a new subscription; therefore you have a large present subscrption field to work in, in addition to the great number of new subscrptions you will be able to secure. Fourth: If you collect a back subscription account you receive , the same number of votes as for a renewal or new subscription. Fifth: Special cash awards will be given from time to time, for which all compete equally.
