Best remaining Credit Offer in "Sales" Drive in
now on and will last until Saturday Sept. 8 ?
After that time Third Schedule of Votes will be
effective? A decline of 25 per cent in subscrip
tion credits went into effect at 6 o'clock Satur
day night? There will be another 25 per cent
decline in credits at 8 o'clock Saturday night,
September 8 ? Watch these dates ? September
8-15. o ?
lii-ie is the first published stand
|mj at the "live wire" Club Mem
bers after the close of the first
Period of the Journnl's Salesman
ship Club Saturday night, Sept. 25.
Did they "no over the top"? We'll
sav so. Compare their relative
standings of today with the pub
lished standings August 24 and you
will sa\ so.
Excitement and jntensa activity
prevails among the Club Members
in the Salesmanship campaign as
each t'luh Member realizes that she
is in reach of a prize worth as much
as $1250.1)0 and to be won or lost dur
in the next two weeks, depending al
most entirely upon the number of
subscriptions turned in while the
BIG ??Second Period" is on, and
which expires at 8 o'clock Saturday
uight, September 8. 1
Club members are now gohig af
ter every subscription, and extension
on subscriptions that they have
secured earlier in the campaign, in
sight ; they realize that they must
fortify their present standing with
every available subscription and ex
tension as, at the present writing it
is "anybody's race". So close are
the head-lines running that any one
of them ean wiu a motor car in the
short time that remains.
The First Period of the Salesman
ship Club, which closed on Saturday
night, was a great success. Tens of
thousands ? yes, hundrafs, of thou
sands? of credits were issued and
every "1JYK" club member prolit
ed nightly.
' It is a strange coincidence, too,
and something very unusual in af
fairs of this kind, but each of the
club mcmcbcrs who were striving for
the capital prize aiito benefited so
equally during the period just closed
that not without hair line figuring
could today's leader be determined.
The campaign, therefore, so far as
the relative standing of the club
members are concerned, depends al
most entirely ui>on the results at
tained by the different club members
between now and the linish of the
. <>
campaign as to whom the winner
" will be. ? ,
The above is not "mere talk" for
the sake of telling it, but it is a real
fart? theories and ridiculous, silly
nimors not with standing. Hence,
the struggle for supremacy will be
fought out during the next few days
because the campaign comes to a
close two weeks and one day from
this date. The final close of the cam
PRti will be Saturday night, Sep
tember 15th.
wiring the. second credit period
cmling Saturday night, September
wb at 8:1(0 o'clock sharp, subscrip
tions will count BIG and there is a
lot of them to be obtained if
y?u make the effort to secure them,
111 fact, they count almost as many
Wedits now as they did in the First
\ ? For example, a six year
subscription^ turned in during the
Second Period counts 370,000 credits
* ere l'orniely 4G0,000 credits were |

Better Be Safe Than Sorry,

Don't let any one discount sre you

you have, they WOULD NOT TELL
IT. If they did, that would give
you a chance to secure twice as many
as they say they have and they do
not want you to do that therefore,
all rumors are bunk pure and simple.

DILLSBORO INSTALLING
WATER SYSTEM
The town of Dillsboro is installing
a splendid water system for that en
terprising municipality, and hopes
to have it completed within a short
time.
The town has purchased 50 acres
of land on the Dills farm, across the
river from Dillsboro, which com
praiscs a watershed that is a very
line one, giving a flow of water that
is sufticicn! for a town many times
the size <?? Dillsboro. From the in
take on the watershed the water is
conveyed through pipes to a 100,000
gallon rcscvoir on the hill above the
town, from whence it i? distributed
through mains to the people of the
town.
The water main from the intake
to the storage resevoir is 900 l'cet
in length, and the entire system is
to be finished at the exceedingly low
cost of $15,000.
Bonds lor the wo:'.; were issued
some months ago.
