THE SCOREBOARD
- Just eight days remain for workers entered In The Weekly's big

for a week from next Saturday the campaign will come to a close- and

Our advice to each worker Is this:' The work you accomplish dur
ing the next eight days is very important for it may be the deciding
factor in determining your final standing in the campaign. No one
worker has -any position cinched ; . . and it may be possible that change
in the standing may take place between now and the cloainir hour. . Do
not rest, satisfied with what you have accomplished -thus far, for it may
not foe sufficient, to retain your present position. Keep working right
up to -the last minute and be safe . . r not sorry.
' ' The success -or failure of a contestant rests entirely upon herself.
One must! secure subscriptions in order to add votes to, her score and
the votes will determine just who will win the Mg $400 prize.
