ile now and 'till! IIKRALD’S great
sill lio collided among the things that
Much has heeu done in the past few
hscriptions have been brought in, and
our already large list greatly increased; Imt. there is a great
deal that we wish to do during the remaining ten days.
There remains on our list entirely too many names whose
suhseription is past due, and it is to these that we are going
to turn our best attention from now until the closing hour,
which, as lias just been staled, is only ten days off. Right,
here we w ish to say a word to our friends, the subscribers:
For years the names of many of von have been on the sub
scription list of '1111! 11 FRAU) for so long, in fact., that
we had we know every one of you personally. Wav hack
yonder, when some of your names were first entered on our
list, tlungs were quite different to what they are to-day.
Paper was cheap. Labor cost less than half what it, does
to-day, and I’ncle Sum lei us do much as we wished about
sending papers through the mails, regardless of how much
in arrears the subscripth n might lie. To-day we .arc con
fronted with entirely different conditions. Paper is costing
twice what it did at the time we have in mind, labor is
double and treble, and I'nclc Sam deems it. advisable that
subscriptions be kept paid up. The weekly county paper
is perhaps the only commodity that has not advanced at
least 50 per cent, in price, regardless of the great increase in
the cost, of getting same out. Is it asking too much, then,
to make the request, that our subscribers pay their subscrip
tions promptly? Between this and the close of the contest
you will be called upon by sorue one. to pay up your sub
scription, and if you w ill do it now you will not only great
ly help your old friend, TII Id II FR11 LI), but you will per
haps be the cause of someone winning a valuable prize.
LABOR ITAS SURE R1CWARD.
Indeed, it is true that “Labor has sure reward,’’ and
it is also true that as we labor so shall we be rewarded. Mr.
Banta, Newnun’s enterprising Jeweler, has become inter
ested in THE HERALD'S contest, and is offering a prize
to the one who does the most work between 7 a. m. Satur
day, April 17, and I p. m , Wednesday, April 28. The prize
is a beautiful solid gold watch, with a genuine Atneri
can Waltham movement. Once you see it you will want it.
In every way it is perfec—the acme of the watchma
kers’ art. <lo to Bantu's, and tell your friends to go also.
Mr. Banta will present this watch to the successful contes
tant Wednesday afternoon, April 28, at 4 p. m.
WHAT ARE YOI (.101X0 TO DO WITH THE FEW
DAYS LEFT?
Whatever you do don’t stop to think over the hours,
days and weeks that you have dealt with carelessly, but
make up your mind quickly to utilize every moment, that
is left, to you. There remains but ten working days in
which to labor. Therefore, you must be everlastingly on
the job if you hope to be the winner of the prize of your
choice. In order to help you all we possibly can we are
going to make one more club offer. For every club of $5
that you turn in from Saturday, April 17, to Wednesday,
April 28, at, 4 p. m., you will be given a prize coupon good
for 00,000 votes, besides the regular scale of votes, just as
during the past week. The one securing the most clubs will
be awarded the handsome gold watch by Mr. Banta. The
one securing the next largest number of clubs will be
awarded a voting coupon good for 250,000 votes, over and
above the above-mentioned coupons.
BEWARE OF DAME GOSSIP.
Dame gossip has already been the cause of your losing
many a vote. Don’t be misled by people who claim to
know all about how this contest is being managed. Turn a
deaf ear to nil reports that come to you. Keep everlastingly
at your work. Turn in your subscriptions promptly if you
want them to do the most good, and when in doubt about
anything come to the Contest Manager. Hois the only
one who knows.
Remember, that at 10 p. in.. April 29, it’s all over. No
chance then, for when the clock in the tower sounds tho
last stroke of 10 on that night the ballot box will be sealed
and turned over to the judges.

STUDY SIX WOMEN
“To-day, in the world of fashion, all women are young, and they grow
more so all the time,’’ says a famous Parisian dressmaker.
That, in a nutshell, is the definition of Fashion, i. e., Youthfulness.
Study the next half-dozen youthful appearing women you meet. You’ll
find that it isn’t alone the face—nor the gown—nor the coloring—that defines
their youthfulness.
More than any of these it is the figure—lithe, graceful, unhampered—that
is responsible for the youthful effect.
For many years the makers of C-B a la Spirite Corsets have known this fact
and have built their knowledge into their goods. And they have found out this
very vital fact—that one model corset with graceful lines—or a dozen models—
■ cannot be adapted to every figure. There must be a separate and distinct model
for every type of woman’s figure.
The present number of C-B models exceeds 240—each model especially de
signed to bring youthfulness to a different type of woman. That is why it is
possible for every woman to find a C-B model which will give her youthful
lines, together with absolute comfort.
