precious momenta by redoubling your
efforts during the remaining days.
He a winner at all hazards. Turn
defeat into victory. Don't be num
bered with the "also runs." (let
out and hustle every minute of the
remaining time. Just remember that
you are working for prizes that ure
worth your best efforts. Think of the
value and honor of winning that pro

of people in Cape Girardeau County
and City who have not yet been up
nroaohed bv anv of the contestants
with a request for their subscription
and who would be only too glad to
subscribe if they were asked. They
admire a plucky contestant one who
docs the most energetic work and
who is not ashamed to advertise
