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.
