Now Comes the All-important Period in the Contest —‘‘Booster Period” Opens To-day—the Best Time of All Times to Enter the Contest is During “Booster Period”—Remember, No Losers; Everybody Wins. To-day is the beginning of “Booster Period” in The Herald's great Automobile Contest, which means that con testants themselves and friends of contestants can boost their standing by securing one or two years’ subscription, or more, and get a tremendous vote. Single subscriptions count now—they count big. Therefore, it will be well to “make hay while the sun shines.” WHY IS “BOOSTER PERIOD”? What does “Booster Period” mean? It simply means to boost, and everyone knows what that is. It means that this is positively the best time in the whole contest for the people to subscribe for The Newnan Herald and boost their favorite. “Booster Period” means that every yearly sub scription turned in by March 18 will count 20,000 votes. THINK OF IT! This is a bonus of 15,000 extra votes for just one subscription—this is extra, besides the regular scale of 5,000 votes. A two-year subscription will count for 43,- 000 votes. See the complete list below. From this it will be seen that it is to the advantage of every contestant to insist upon their friends giving them at least a two-year subscription or more RIGHT NOW while it counts so much. Remember, “Booster Period” ends March 18. Such a great bonus vote as is being offered right now may not happen again in this contest. Study the Booster scale well. Cut it out and keep it where you can see what a one-year, a two-year or a five-year subscription will do for you. DURING “BOOSTER PERIOD” THE FOLLOWING SCALE OF VOTES WILL PREVAIL. Regular scale of votes. Extra votes. Total votes. 1- year subscription 5,000 15,000 20,000 2- year subscription 12,000 31 000 43,000 3- ycar subscription 18,000 47,000 65,000 4- year subscription 25,000 63,000 88,000 5- year subscription 30,000 80,000 110,000 NAMES OF CONTESTANTS.

The grand prize, 5-pas- senger Ford automobile. Second prize, $100 in gold. Third prize, $30 in gold. Fourth prize, $20 in silver; and 10 per cent, to all non-winning bona fide contestants. THE FIELD IS RIPE. Contestants will find the field ripe right now. There are many whose subscriptions are about to expire, and they will renew if you ask them—not for just a year, but they will give you a couple of years—maybe more. There are hundreds of others who want their home paper, and if asked they will take it. Explain to them what kind of a paper it is, that they should have it, and that they should subscribe right now. Above all, always be sure that you have a copy of the paper with you. You’ll need your share of these subscriptions, and you’ll want to get them during “Booster Period,” when the total votes count so much. “LIVE WIRES,” TAKE NOTICE. There is nothing that will get a “live wire” on his or her metal any quicker than a friendly struggle like this. It means tense rivalry from start to finish—a friendly battle of ballots that will put everyone to a severe test as to their capability and power to operate a successful campaign. We are conducting a subscription campaign, and giving away a small fortune in prizes, headed with a handsome 5-passen ger Ford automobile. Each contestant should be conduct ing a campaign of their own to win one of these prizes, and they must see that their machinery is well oiled and in first-class running shape. It must be so to spell SUCCESS. IF YOU WORK YOU WIN. Isn’t it a fine thing to know that you are sure to win (pyway, and be rewarded for the work you do? This paper wouldn't ask you for your time and your efforts and influ ence for nothing. Every bona fide contestant in this race who does not win one of these prizes will be given TEN PER CENT, of all the money that they turn in for sub scriptions to The Newnan Herald. This applies to old and new subscriptions, or mcney on account. A careful record is kept, as explained in last week’s paper. NOW, REMEMBER “BOOSTER PERIOD" CLOSES MARCH 18. This is a mighty short time. Hustle in your subscrip tions and start your name toward the top. This is the time in the great race when votes pile up at a rapid clip. Turn again to the scale. Hard work now will reap big re wards for you that you can’t get later on when the field has been thoroughly worked. CONTEST MANAGER ALWAYS ON THE JOB. Talk with him whenever you have an opportunity and let him give you the benefit of his experience in many contests. It might be just the thing that you are needing.
