CANDIDATES ARE WORKING HARD

Id The Democrat's Great $350 Piano Contest VOTES ARE COMING IN FAST Majority of the Contestants are ■■ Hustling Strenuously—Value and Usefulness of the Premiums Appeals to All. The greater portion of the candidates in The Democrat’s big piano contest are hustling to beat the band, judging by the number of votes they are sending in. Not only the candidates themselves but their friends as well and the spirit of good-na-tured rivalry shown is exceptional.

The leaders have long since .ealized that to keep their places they must hustle and hustle hard. They early- discovered that subscriptions count fast and to this fact, more than any other, some of the leaders owe their position in the race. Those who are not so high in the race could do w r ell to profit by this example. , The standing today is: Ida Burley, Parr Loretta Nagel, Rensselaer Maribell Kays, Rensselaer Lizzie Wiseman, Virgie Ethel M Fisher, Rensselaer Alice Daniels, Rensselaer • Fairy Pollard, Rensselaer R-4 Bessie McElfresh, Rensselaer R-l Victoria Marsh, Rensselaer R-3 Arfcana Ritchey, Remington K-3 Mildred Rush, Rensselaer R-8 Wilda Green, Remington Lucy Morgenegg, Rensselaer R-l Stella Platt, Rensselaer Mary Bice, Rensselaer, R-4 Myrtle Leavel, Rensselaer Ruth E Bull, Rensselaer Elsie Smith, Rensselaer Ruth Wiltshire, Rensselaer May Shook, Knlman / Mary Halsema, Rensselaer Lena Trulley, Rensselaer, R-l Bernice Yeoman, Rensselaer R-2 Hazel Shumaker, Rensselaer R-4 Lucy Fulks, Remington R-4 Anna Marion, Parr Mary Gaunt. Remington R-3 Edna Ward, Rensselaer R-4 Lois Spencer, Wolcott Martha Critser, Rensselaer, R-3 Marie Moore, Rensselaer Star Route

Candidates should bear in mind that it is the subscriptions secured that count fastest; 1500 votes for each year’s renewal, and 3000 votes for each year on new subscriptions. A five year renewal counts 7500 and a five year new subscriber counts 15,000. The free voting certificates given with purchases at the stores also count up quite fast, and candidates should urge their friends to be sure to ask for them with each cash purchase at these stores. * D.

It should be remembered by all contestants that The Democrat gives coupons with each cash order for job printing. This includes sale bills, programs of all kinds, and, in fact, job printing of any character.
