The content manager cannot urge tao strongly the advantage to be lined by getting in subscriptions, aarticularly the old ones, during the special prize period. Now, II we r Is the time to demonstrate u your./rlends that you are iu the wee and capable of winning a prize, jbow yonr friends that their effort have helped you win one of the *ecial prizes and they will more willingly rally to your support on fte last lap. And right here, can ildatr;. let organization be the tch word. Organization. Ab the race noars its close the vjdue of organization will become More evident You are doubtless (faced In a position which prohibits you from upending a great part of Sr time in the interest of your dldacy, and In order that you E My attain the greatest degree of jacctttift, yoii must secure co-opera |J ion from others. Organization Is md has been tbe one thing respon se for the. success of more enter ariueh than anything else. When America was but a wilderneBSj and J hen the colo riles were struggling hr freedom from oppression from ?e mother country, .^Great Britain ? *e first step toward f reedqsm was organized efforts on the part of a ftw. Washington, The Father of ?pr Country, was a great fighter, hut he was a great General ; thru kW Generalship and his ability to landle th? others, he succ?>edefd In ?rganizing the colonies Into a unit, ?sd, by tholr combined efforts brought freedom to the country. In order to be successful In se curing any office from the Presi dency of the United States down to ???e lowest office within the gift of tfco people, organization is fi^St nec wsary. And when the organization ia the right kind It is sure to spell *e most fasctnxttlng word "in the ?nglish language, "Success." Re member . tho old maximr ."la Union Ifcere is strength," and no force, no natter how strong can hope to corn hat against an organized force. I- One of the old Philosophers has | wisely said "Opportunity knocks *tce at every person's door," but a Niter day Philosopher has/sagely 'ad tod, "But sweeps out mornings for toey who hustle while they wait." k has become a generally accepted ftoory that opportunity comes only ?oce in a lifetime, but like most fondly fondled theories it is of lit; tie use to practical people, and the Kactlcal people are they who grasp opportunity that comes to them *?d when the opportunities do not '?owe fast enough? 'they make new ??es. The Contest is your opportunity to *lu an automobile and you want to Sot a strong hold on it before it nies. You doubtless are a member ?< some lodge, social club, or a re ?gious organization that value your Membership and who would be Jroud to honor you with their sup J?rt If they but knew you wanted H.
