The 'landing published this week is hardly a fair indication of progics made as swnic of tin' i'oiiU'M;inl urv altim: awav a few votes for a ramv dav and others have not quite completed their clubs of ti n new subscriptions. One contestant's plan of campaign is to land at least mn.' new subscription every day. Tin1 other contestants will liavt-to hustle to beat him it he is aide to earn out this plan. "Anything worth having is worth working for" is the way another contestant looks at the proposition. One word of warning: don't expect your friends to do too much for you. We believe that the player who vvins this contest is going to do most of the work himself. Help from friends is all right -- what we want to emphasise is: do not depend on that alone to win you the pri.e. ' Clubs of ten new subscriptions or clubs often leuevvals eount for twice as many votes as if the subscriptions or renewals wen; turn ed in seprat tly. Pints of ten new subscriptions are also worth $2.50 in cash at the Herald ollice in addition to the IOu.immi votes. The standing of contestants published below is based on the votes turned in by contestants and their friends up to Wednesday noon.
