Eaeh candidate has so much
strength and this strength can be
developed in the beginning or at
the ending. These special prizes

made it possible for two ladies to
win pianos, and whoever wins the
Melodigrand wins the best iii the

another Melodigrand. The Kings

Coupons are now given by twenty
or more stores and your friends can
secure you quite a number of these
votes before tho close of this eon
test. We have about decided on
a date for the closing and will give
it to you after the second Special
Prize count is made.
If you really and earnestly want
a piano, you have an opportunity
at the best. To win will require a
little time and energy, but think
of the reward. Besides the pianos
there are many other attractive
prizes.
Now if you really want to win,
stir up your friends. If you get
busy they will bike an interest in
you and help you with coupons and
subscriptions.
Not a single prize to be given
away is yet nailed down—fastened
so tight that some other candidate
might win. You can pick out the
prize you most desire and work af
ter it, your friends will help yon;
you may get it or something near
to it.
Let us warn you not to depend
too much on the mail bringing
your votes promptly. More than
a half dozen packages came last
Wednesday, the day after the
count. They were postmarked
on Monday—some of them regis
tered —and should reached
hereon Tuesday, but they did not.
This in part accounts for the light
vote last week and a heavier vote
this week. Nothing lost so far.
If you send your votes by mail
start them early.
