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. NAMES OF CONTESTANTS.

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.
