many a “dry” heart glad.
Followed by cloudiness to day
and indications of more rain, the
shower will be very beneficial to

dust, and many other good results
that come from a shower at this
season of the year.

How is Your Club Growing ?
' o
On New Subscriptions No. 12 Leads With Four to Her
Credit. Five Others Have two Each. This Has
Reference to the Booster Prize.
Jn order that everybody will;
know just how fast (!) the list is ;
growing we will publish each week
the standing of those who send in
their reports. You will then have
some idea of wbat the other “fel
low” is doing.
iVe desire to state now that in
case of a tie on the “Booster
Prize” the “1817” Rogers Silver
ware, that if two tie they must de
cide the matter over themselves by
dividing up the pieces or other
wise; and if three tie the same way.
We make this announcement in due
time.
In the awarding of the Lady’s
suit in our last special prize count
there came very nearly being a tie,
—j ust one dollar difference.
Mighty close it was.
Now anybody—every body has
an opportunity at the Silverware,
a2O piece set “1847” Rogers, the
best on the market, value $17.50.
Get up a club. If you have the
greatest number of new subscribers
for a year or more at $ 1.00 a year
the Booster Prize is yours.
Send in a club. This is not mis
sionary work you are to do. The
person who wins this set ot Silver
ware will get it for the fewest sub-
stand in Miss Annie Duckett’s
place. She won it by a small
margin.
Miss Pauline Patton and Mrs.
E. V. Cash tied up on fifteenth
place.
“Asa man thinketh in his heart
so is he,” and so it is with you in
this contest. If you think you
are a winner, so are you. You are
the mistress of your success. The
opportuuity is before you.
Work —that is the secret.
scribers that ever won a premium
of this value. Mark our predic
tion: tlio person who wins this
prize ought to send in a club of at
least seventy; and, in our opinion,
one third of seventy will be agood
ly number for any one person.
This is an all -a round premium—
a family premium; one that the
family can use three times a day
for a lifetime. You may not know
how easy it is to win until it is all
over, then if you miss you can see
where you missed it. The standing
each week of those getting up
clubs ought to be an eye opener as
to how easy a matter it will be to
secure a club of a dozen or two.
If the largest list is but a half
dozen, it takes the premium.
