NO ABATEMENT IN THE INTEREST

In the Democrat’s Great $350 Plano Contest ARE PAYING NO ATTENTION To the Hot Weather—Leaders ■■■< Are Out Hustling for Votes Despite Old Sol’s Best Eforts. The candidates in The Democrat’s big contest and particularly the leaders, are paying no attention to the present heat wave, and are apparently hustling as hard as -ever to secure votes.

It is only by keeping everlastingly at it; no let-ups; no wondering about the ultimate success, but genuine determination to win that is keeping the leaders at the top. Getting discouraged and not doing the best they can will upset the chances of any. The best way, and, in fact, the only way to expect to win is by grim determination, strong tenacity of purpose coupled with the effervescence of hustle.

The standing is as follows: Marlbell Kays, Rensselaer Lizzie Wiseman, Virgie Loretta Nagel, Rensselaer Ethel M Fisher, Rensselaer Arkana Ritchey, Remington R-3 Bessie McElfresh, Rensselaer R-l Alice Daniels, Rensselaer Mildred Rush, Rensselaer R-3 Fairy Pollard, Rensselaer R-4 Lucy Morgenegg, Rensselaer R-l Ida Hurley, Parr Mary Bice, Rensselaer, R-4 Victoria Marsh, Rensselaer R-8 Bernice Yeoman, Rensselaer R-2 Stella Platt, Rensselaer May Shook, Knimah Ruth E Bull, Rensselaer Lucy Fulks, Remington R-4 - Anna Marion, Parr Myrtle Leave!, Rensselaer Gaunt, Remington R-3 Elsie Smith, Rensselaer Lena Trulley, Rensselaer, R-l Mary Potts, Rensselaer Ruth Wiltshire, Rensselaer Edna Ward, Rensselaer R-4 Martha Critser, Rensselaer, R-3 Hazel Shumaker, Rensselaer R-4 Wilda Green, Remington Lois Spencer, Wolcott Aria Lyons, Rensselaer

Those who are away down in the list should not be discouraged, remember the race is a long one and is only well started. A little spurt, a few subscriptions from among your friends and your name will be up among the leaders. If some one else has been more successful than you, it merely proves w’bat you can do if you try. And any of the premiums are well worth your best efforts. And you have all the time anyone could ask.

The following merchants give certificates good for one vote with each cent’s worth of cash purchase; each dollar spent with them is good for 100 votes. Cut the list out and have your friends ask for the certificates at these stores: D. M. Worland, Furniture and Rugs Cleve Eger, Hardware 0.-- Earl Duvall, Clothing and Gents Furnishings B. F. Fendig, Drug Store Sam Fendig, Dry Goods Mrs. Mary Meyer-Healy, Millinery Store Scott Bros., Harness Home Grocery, Groceries Jessen, the Jeweler Depot Grocery, Groceries B. N. Fendig, Exclusive Shoe Dealer C. A. Roberts, Buggies, Wagons and Corn Harvesters. Spencer’s Jewelry Store, Remington. Peck’s Drug Store, Remington. Worden’s Harness Shop, Remington. Surrey Store, General Merchandise, Surrey W. L. Wood, General Merchandise, Parr Aix Store, General Merchandise, Alx Contestants should remind their friends to be sure and ask for certificates' with each cash purchase made at any of the stores mentioned in the list. Candidates should not fail to sign their names to all votes whether coupons received for subscriptions, clipped from The Democrat, or certificates re-

ceived at the stores. And in clipping from the paper, cut the coupon as neatly as possible. Neatness is a virtue in all things and in this case is to be especially commended.
