GET SIX NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO The Indianapolis Times FOR ONLY 3 MONTHS EACH

HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT First, you cut the coupon from this page and then write your name and address at the top where it says “Name of person taking these orders.” That shows you mean business, that you are not going to stop until every one of the six new subscribers’ names and addresses are signed where they belong on your subscription blank. If your father is not already a subscriber, the very next thing is to have him sign the subscription blank first. If your folks are already subscribers, then surely your aunt or your uncle, your married brother or sister or your nearest neighbor will be glad to be Number One to subscribe. After you get Number One, the rest will come easy. If you will then keep plugging, it should only take a few hours until you have the six new subscription orders. Just try and see. YOU DON’T HAVE TO COLLECT A CENT Remember, you do not collect a cent from any of the persons who give you an order. The Times carrier takes care of that. All you have to do is to have six persons who are not now subscribers to The Times read and sign the subscription blank. Tell all those whom you see that they do not liave to pay one penny more for The Indianapolis Times because you are getting Mama doll. It will be easy. But, of course, you,'have to go out and get them, since they will never come to you otherwise. The girl who gets started first has quite an advantage over the one who waits—she has more prospects to call on. Make up your mind right now that you are going to earn a Flossie Flirt Doll and in less than a few hours’ time you will have the six sub-% scriptions that will get one for you without one cent of cost. This offer is open to all residents of Indianapolis and in all towns where The Indianapolis Times home delivery is established.

Wet Cabinet Bu United Press ISHPEMING, Mich., Nov. 13. —Ladies Aid Society rummage sales took on anew interest here today. Here’s the reason: Miss Mabel Hawes bid in an old-fashioned cabinet for 75 cents at a Presbyterian church sale. Examining the cabinet she found two pints and a quart of whisky—very old whisky. The cabinet formerly belonged to the late Congressman H. O. Young. It had not been opened for years and the whisky was concealed in a locked drawer.

ly in the fall. Leaves add to the hazards. Rails spread more readily, despite track Inspections and other precautions, Tretton said, because wet contraction and expansion of ground beneath the roadbed is greater in 'periods of sudden, extreme temperature changes. Recognizing the danger of slick tracks the street railway for several weeks has conducted a school for motormen at the Louisiana St. barns, according to Tretton. Every motorman is given lessons totaling at least two hours upon dangers of slippery tracks and the best means of handling a car on them.
