Lack Os Interest Is Being Shown In Democrat’s Christmas Club Campaign

A. surprising lack of interest has thus far been shown in the Democrat's big Christmas Club campaign. i which ie soon to start. One could thirdly Imagine that such a clear- • ut proposition, off ring rewarJs as high as SSOO in cash for those who are willing to devote their spare time over a period of six weeks to the pleasant occupation of representing the circulation department of the Daily Democrat among their friends, would be turned down. Just why such a marked Indifference is being shown is hard to imagine, but It must he that the whole proposition is not thoroughly understood. There are absolutely no strings" to the offer: It is Just a plain business proposition whereby those who take part will be paid for whatever effort they make. Som -• one will get a check for SSOO. another will win S2OO. another SIOO and so on down the line to the eighth prize. And then the on-s who fail to win a prize will be given a cheek for a liberal commission on ' every subscription turned In dur- ' ing the six weeks. Lists of live .prospects—those who

The I rules and regulations governing the winning of th-se prizes are such i tha' everyone is absolutely guaranI I teed a faiir deal. They are »o devised as to leave no chance of any i member taking an unfair advantage of another. The one who does the best, legitimate work will receive ■ the beet prize. It is a “sure winner" for those who abide by the rules. There must be quite a few a .nits in Adams county who would like to make some extra Christmas money by this sure, easy way. hut who, for i! one reason or another have delayed sending their names in. It is sincerely hoped they willl act quickly during the next few days, as the campaign must get underway soon. No on- is allowed to do any work until the official starting date, so for the first few days of this week It will be possible to get in "on the ground floor" and start right at the beginning. It costs nothing to try—and one will be surprised at the ease with which a substantial i oash prize can be won.
