PAGE TWO AII Vntes Must Be In Bemre 9 Every Candidate Adm.a to Read the Rules Ap- pearing Below FAST FINISH IS CERTAIN Prizes Will Go to Those Who Keep Hustling Up to Last Minute . NOTICE. ** The prlu of the Daily Pioneer doli'.nd in the city of Bemidji is $5.¢ 00 a year. Every little while we are in receipt of $4.00 for one year's -uburlphon, delivered by boy, and in these cases credit for $4.00 is given to the subscriber and not for the full year. This notice is given so that a year hence no argument will occur. The same rule obtains in the cases of three and six months sub- scriptions. The price by carrier boy is $5.00 a year—by mail $4.00 a year. No mail subscrip- tions taken for delivery in Bemidji. MISS MARGARET CASWELL Miss Margaret Caswell, Cass Lake, ranks among the leaders in the race !for one of The Pioneer’s automobiles. Miss Caswell has many friends who are interested in her behalf. Saturday is the last day of the balloting! Saturday evening at 9 o’clock the greatest newspaper circulation cam- paign that has ever astounded Be- midji and vicinity will come to a sen- sational cloge. Promptly at the stroke of 9 p. m. the ballot pox will be closed and on one subscription or classified card order will be accepted affer that time. Everything is in readiness for the overwhelming rush of votes and sub- scriptions that will come. But too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity of getting subsecriptions in as early as possiole Saturday, for the biggest day’s business of the entire campaign will be recorded during that day. Nothing can be gained by holding them back until the last moment, and by uelaying one risks the chance of their not reaching here in time. The last chance. Those three words are full of meaning. Ore supreme, final effort may land the prize for which you ‘have been working and have set your heart upon. The frfends who have responded with support before can hardly refuse at the moment when a little he!ping may mean victory. It has been predicted that this will be a race of narrow margins, hence every subscription, no matter how small, may remové a candidate from defeat to victory. And think what victory means in this race Luxury, Ple2sure—the very best things lite holds out ~re in store for some can- didate. Who? that -only hustle and perserverance will determine. Every hour that remains has possi- bilities. But every minute counts. The clock is swiftly ticking away the seconds that will bring this cam- paign to an.end Saturday. And when the hands of the clock in The Pioneer office point to the final hour, then will -have ended a campaign that has made history . It has been a fairly fought one and has been conducted along absolutely im- partial lines. The best campaigners are going to win. Those who are go- ing to apply themselves industrious- ly during every minute of time there is left are the ones whose chances are most likely. The battle of the ballots has been waged at a heart-breaking pace these past few days, and many surprises will surely be sprung by some of the quiet but steady workers. There will be ‘surprises galore, and disappoint- ments, for who knows how many have bridged the gap from the bot- tom to success since the standings were last counted. This uncertainty has stimulated every candidate to in. crease the vote total by securing every-subscription’ possible, for each has. realized that competitors were doing the same thing. Y Another thing: - No sum of money will be accepted with a blank stub, Ah, that is a matter, MISS ETHEL BOYER —Photo by Hak Miss Ethel Boyer, Route 3, midji, is buly attending school has found time to gather a large|etc. pumber of subscriptions which places her among the leading contenders for one of The Pioneer’s automobi the name to be filled in later. Every stub, accompanied by remittance, must be filled out with the subscrib- er's name and address, or classified card. Neither will any money be re- funded on subscriptions after votes have been issued. This rule will be strictly enforced for the mutual pro- tection of The Pioneer anrl the many candidates. There is still time to make a win- ning race. .Reward hovers near, waiting for those who have the sta- mina to grasp it. Only a little added work may place you among the happy circle of candidates who will be hon- oréd with the splendid prizes that are to come. The future holds much in store; it means a taste from the cup of cheer, and, above all, it means hours of golden sunshine—the sunshine that enters the heart and makes it happy. FIFTEEN PER CENT CASH COM-| MISSION TO NON.WINNERS. You can’t lose in this campaign— that is impossible. If you fail to win one of the regular prizes we will pay you 15 per cent cash commission on the gross amount of newspaper subscription money you col pro- vided - you have turned.in one or ‘more ‘subscriptions each week from he time you started to work in the mpaign.. Rules Governing Closz 0f Clnmm Candidates cannot be too careful about sending their ballots so that they will reach the campaign depart- ment before 9 p. m.
