'They are going to finish strong."
Here's why we think so: Reports
from the outside sections are to the
effect that the communities and
towns are getting behind their fa
vorites this week and urging them
on to greater efforts and giving en
couragement with the support of
their subscriptions. Again the % added
Caiii Prize for extra effort put forth
this week is a great inducement
and is appreciated by, one and ail
alike. All are anxious to come in
for the Cash Prize. Not alone for the
prize itself, but for the knowledge
that the extra votes that Will be se
cured on the business turned in thi?
week will go a long ways toward
placing their names in the winning
column when the big count take;
place.
$60.00 Extra Cash Prize
If $60.00 in extra Cash Prize for
twelve days extra effort isn't suffi
cient inducement for one to put
onels best effort for a period of
twelve days, nothing is. And re
member, if you were the lucky can
didate on last week's Extra Cash
prize of $40.00 given for the candi
date who turned in the most money
for subscriptions for that week, you
will have all the better chance this
week of winning the $60.00 Cash
Prize. If you put forth every ef
fort this week it is possible to win
the $60.00 Cash Prize in one week's
ppork. One of the earnest workers
will receive that much for the short
period of twelve days for securing
the largest, amount of money for
both new and old subscriptions. Not
so bad is it? That isn't all either.
Double the regular schedule of
votes will be credited upon all sub
scriptions that are turned in this
week. Subscriptions have two-for
one value this week. *
Double Votes
While the number of etftra votes
credited upon subscriptions is not as
great as the preceding extra vote
offers, it is such that if a member
exerts himself or herself -to the full
est extent getting subscriptions and
have" them apply under the present
Caste and Double Vote Offer, the
additional votes will place that
member right in line for some of
the very best things on the list. One
t.hinf is certain, with the value of
the prize list at such a high figure
and with the e'xtra priee to spur one
on, it is needless to say that one and
all will make a determined effort to
outdistance all competition this
,iweek. Some perhaps have not cared
'to show their real capacity for get
ting subscriptions up to this ttme.
These will leave no stone unturned
in their quest for subscriptions now
while their efforts will be rewarded
bountifully.
• End Drawing Near
After this present week, Just two
weeks -remain until the race ends

the tutors will receive the rewards
for t£® ir efforts. Two very valu
able >ash awards will be presented

ROOSEVELT OPPOSED
TO WAR BONUS PLAN
States Opposition Plaii
ly In Letter To Post
Commander
Washington, Dec. 31.—President
Roosevelt moved tonight to rally the
support of the nation behind his
opposition to immediate payment of
the $2,100,000,000 soldier bonus.
In a letter to Garland R. Farmer,
commander of the American Legion
post at Henderson, Texas, made pub
lic at the White House, Mr. Roose
velt emphasized the bonus was not
due until 1945, that Immediate pay
ment would be harmful to veterans
and their families and that prompt
disbursement of such a huge sum
would not aid recovery as contended
by some.
Although the missive contained no
direct statement concerning what
action the President would take If a
bonus bill is passed by the Seventy
fourth Congress, it was interpreted
as proof that the White House is
not prepared to compromise on this
issue with either Capitol Hill or the
veterans.
Mr. Roosevelt feels the veterans
as a class have been treated as well,
if-not better, under the new deal
than any other group of Ahierlcan
citizens. He said in his letter
ex-service men had been givenfltfH
ference in direct distribution ogiM
lief and in employment.
