The big subscription campaign ?>f The Franklin Times ia drawing near the close. The second period ?nded on Wednesday of this week and the final close of the cam paign li little more than a week away. With undimished enthusi asm and energy which the ele ments themselves could not nquelch, the candidates who are working for the wonderful prizeB to be given away on Feb. 29th.. are rising to the occasion with a renewed interest in making up for loat time, and each and every | one Is showing a determination! to be the proud possessor of the I first prize of (600. What a won derful prize that will be for some one to win. The second prize of 1200 and the third prize of 1100 will alto be the means of making at least two of the hard work ing candidates feel that their ef forta have been well rewarded. We glory In their apunk. en thusiasm and energy. Most of them have worked through all kinds of weather; cold and snow, rain and mud. Probably halt of them have lost time through slck nesa , and other unavoidable thlnga, but we still have a group of ten determined entries going into the final lap and headed to ward the goal. The publisher of this paper is proud of them; he feels they have accomplished wonders under the moat difficult condltlona. The people of Franklin County ahould be proud of them and aupport their favorite with their aubscrip tion or renewal, not for one year, but for as many years as they can possibly give. A dean Race The friendly competitive spirit being afaown by all the workers In this race Is a pleasure to watch. The campaign manager in all his experience has never run a cam paign where there haa been such good sportsmanship and such a total lack of hard feelings as has been shown in this race. We know and feel that this will continue to the end. The management has tried to be impartial In all its dealings with the various workers; has given nothing to one that could not be given to another; haa ad vised and encouraged to the ex tent of our ability and has given no information to any one candi date that would be unfair to the others. No one candidate can secure all the business, it has been fairly well divided and the result will be a close finish be tween several. Everyone will re ceive some reward for their work and at the same time, each one has the opportunity of finishing in the big money, there will be no losers In this campaign. What could be more fair. Important Period The third and last period is a most Important one to the can didates. This is the period when many an upset has taken place, when laxity on the part of the leaders could easily undo all the good work done up to the present time and allow some one further down in the list to creep Into first place. OWlng to the very poor working conditions, the county has barely been soratched add there is plenty of business wait ing for the worker who haa* the initiative to find some means 61 contacting those who have not been seen. ... , The winner in this campaign will have earned as much in sev?u weeks aa a great many earn in a year of hard work and more than but a few of us save in 1 life-time.

"The Widow From Monte Carlo" "The Widow from Monte Car lo," heralded as one or Warner ft ros.' moat hllarioua comedy ro mances of the year, comes to the Loulsburg Theatre Sunday, Feb ruary 23rd. The picture Is based on the rol licking play by Ian Hay and A. E. W. Mason and ccncerns the highly spiced adventure and love affair of a Duchess, a warm blood ed South American beauty who has married into an English fam ily of the nobility, and whose search for diversion after tho death of her husband quite shocks her highly proper British "in laws." A gay and debonalre major wno runs across the Duchess In a gambling palace at Monte Carlo is largely responsible for the series of exciting and romantic adventures the two pursue to gether. At Margate, the English Coney Island, they get mixed up with an American crook and are nearly nabbed by the police. Another scandal is narrowly averted when the somewhat vulgar wife of a wealthy marmalade manufacturer steals a letter the Duchess had indiscreetly written the major. But the American crook gets the letter back and the Duchess breaks off her engage ment with a stuffed shirt diplomat and flies to the arms of the gal lant major. Warren William and Dolores Del Rio have the romantic roles with Colin Clive playing the part of the discarded diplomat and Louise Faxenda that of the new ly rich woman. Others in the cast include Her bert Mundln, Olin Howland, War ren Hymer, Ely Melyon, E. E. Clive, Mary Forbes, Viva Tatter sall and Herbert Evans. Arthur , Oreville Collins directed the pic ture from the screen play by F. Hugh Herbert. HOBGOOD-40HN80N At the Lutheran Parsonage In High Point, N1.
