10 THE CHABLOTTE NEWS, MAY 10 11911 First Day Of News Pony Contest Ends With Many in Race Outfit Made its First Appear ance on Streets oj Charlotte Yesterday, Every One in Love With the Pony, Many Boys and Girls Have Already Entered the Contest And the Race Wid be a Lively One, Th« pony contest Is on: Today Is the day of the competition that will decide who is to become the owa- er of Uie prettiest Shetland pony and complete outfit that has ever been seen In Charlotte. Yesterday the pony made its first ap pearance in public, and to say that it created a sensation would be put ting it lightly. She was a little fright ened at first, this being her first time In the city, but after an hour or so Bh« was just as much at home as could be and trotted along at a lively pace, never paying a particle of attention to street cars or automobiles. When we first told you about the pony we siid that every one would fall in love with the pretty little pony when she made he r first appear ance. Every man woman, or child that saw the outfit yesterday stopped and admired it. The children could hardly hold themselves. The pony w’ill be driven about the streets of Charlotte every day from now on and every one will have an opportunity of seeing her. She will be entered In the 20th of May parade and some one of the contestants will accompany the outfit. Arrangements for this will be announced later. Time to Get Busy. Now that the contest is started, contestant* don't want to lose a mo ment. Every boy and girl in Charlotte that has an ounce of energy is going to enter the competition and if you want to come out on top it is up to you to start to work right now and keep right at it until the last moment. The coupons in the paper all count and the live contestant will see every one he knows and get them to save the coupons. Especially during the first two weeks of the contest, when the coupons clipped from The News will count five votes each. But securing subscriptions the way to pile up the votes that will win. Every coupon counts and a contestant does not for a moment want to stop saving them. Any contestant can see by looking over The schedule of votes allowed on sub- w'riptions to The News and Times- Idemocrat that a very few' subscrip- tidns will count thousands of votes. Subscriptions Count Most. It will be a very easy matter for any mntet-tanc to secure subscriptions. First, provide yourself with a receipt book at this office. Then see all your fritnds and neighbors. Ask them if they arc taking The News. If they are, ask thfiii to give you a rencv.al sub scription for a year, or if they don’t want to renew for that length of time, secure it for whatever time you can. If they are not taking The News toll them that you want them to start and secure their subscription. Every one knows ihat The News is a great big money’s worth and it sliould be an easy matter for any contestant to se cure a great many subscriptions. Of course the dead ones will not. They never do anjthing, nor will they ever have air Miino: wonh while. If you want th8 pony you will have to enlist among the live ones. The News Is ready to help any con testant in any v.ay that would be fair to all cnncerned. If there is anything that you want explained to you call in and see the Contest Manager and he will bf felart to tell you anything about the contest that you do not understand or give yoi any suggestion that he can. • 1 Paint Lick Lady Writes Thanks For the Great Benefit That Cardui, the Woman’s Tonic, Was to Her When Sick Clyde, Ky.—“1 can safely recom- •nend CarduJ. the woman’s tonic, to any lady who Is in need of medicine,” writes Mrs. I. A. Decker, of this place. “It has been very beneficial to me and I ran fny that, there Is nothing like it for weak women. “For five years I was not able to do my w’ork. . Half of my time I spent in bed. I suffered w'ith female weakness asd took such n^rvous spells 1 could not stand on my feet. I suffered with my back and side, and fell off till I became a skeleton. "At last I took Cardui and now I am well and happy and can do my own work.” Cardui Is prepared from the natural plant, not from mineral, synthetic com pounds, and contains no coal tar pro ducts or other results of laborotory ex periments. The Cardui ingnredients are Imported at great expense directly from abroad and have been used for nearly half of century in the manufacture of this fa mous tonic medicine for women. Safe, reliable, prompt, yet gentle In action, by preventing unnecessary pain and building up strength, Cardui has shown itself a necessary remedy for weak women. Try it.
