wards winning the first prize of $200 ;

b- other cash prizes.
ie Parents who do not produce conis
pons or subscriptions cannot hope
it. to win. The more -coupons and sitbrcriptions
you turn in, the more
- "miles'" you earn. Simply entering
of your baby does not mean anything.
The entering Is but the first
step ? the starting point. Anyone
content to rest after entering their
baby cannot get far in this ruce.
With so many babies entered and
so many of the parents not yet,_ at
least, manifesting any life or activity.
the opportunity is here for
some more live-wire workers to enter
their baby and "carry on" to .
victory.
Remember, there are 30 cash prizes
If you fail to win one of the
cash prizes there is a ten per cent ,
commission given on . subscriptions,
provided there has bepn at least
$15 in subscriptions reported for
your baby.
Coupons and , subscriptions count
three timee as many miles now as
tlyey do the last week of the Derby
This certainly should spur parents
to action. You can't win the Derby
in the third period ? the last weeK
? as easily as you can NOW, or
during this first period because you
will have to secure three times a*
much business the last period to
equal the same amount If gotten
In the first pertod.

There was a girl that was out

Her dad had got his dignity by
that time. He says, "Lola, we'll
talk about this later. It.won't do
to discuss such things before the

"Wall," says Lola, got a different
idea. I want the chauffeur
