Why not try to see even more, than twenty-five persons a day. - You should get a large number of subscribers in these three days. There is only one thing to do: just work, keep working, and then work some more. Remember, all the time, that you are soliciting subscriptions for The Courier, your county paper, and the . best weekly newspaper published in the State. The time for closing this contest has been extended. This is done because the contest was late getting started and the bad weather has prevented the proper amount of work on the rural routes. After this week all those who have no more than 200 votes will be dropped from the list, so you who are in this class would do well to get busy. lYou have a start and a little effort on your part will keep you in the race. Then, when you ptart, don't lag for goodness sake, but just keep on working and pushing it's the only way you will ever win a prize.
