A few hour* Im a short time?unless you use It. It Is long en?

"If I had just realised the Importance of the First Bonus
Period I could have won the First Orand Prise." Such lias been
the complaint of many a contestant who had to content herself
with m District Prise In former contests. It Is easy to sec after
It's Mil gffgf with, but the prizes arc for those who egg It lu ad?
vance.
It a Jteit like the case of those brilliant retorts we didn't make
We think about them afterwards but meantime the other fel?
low has had the best of the argument and gone away with the
verbal glory. We didn't think quick enough.
Many people will realise after the First Honus Period has pass
ed that It ofYeiaii the best |Misslhle op|m?rtuuit> for getting a win?
ning number of votes, but meantime the contestants with foresight
will have secured the votes ami later will get the prizes.
150.000 F.txra Hgff Fvery $15.
T1m? reason for the tremendous Importance of the First Itonus
Period, which closes Wedm*sda> night, this week. Is tlie fact that
eveey flft worth of subscription* turned In during this period will
count for 150,000 extra votes In addition to the regular scale.
At no other time off the tsmtes? can votes ho secured In such
large number or on such a liberal male. Tills bonus vote Is unlim?
ited?candidates may turn In Just as many clubs of $15 each as
they are able to secure, and the more u contestant turns In the
surer she is of getting one of the best prise*. Don't Mop with one
club or two clubs, or three chilis, ir there Is the slightest pnsjsJhH
Ity off your getting more. I.und Just every subscription possible,
and for as long terms as possible.

day, April 30. Will he counted on the First Honus Perhsl even
though the letter does not reach the contest department until
Thursday. This gives tlH? oiit-of-Sumter candidates an opimr
tunlty to work right up to the closing hour or the First Bonus Pe?
riod.
After Wednesday the Bonus Ballot will
be Reduced to 125,000 Votes, therefore
Every Available Subscription should be
sent in to apply on the First Bonus
