THE ADVISORY BOARD
It is the sincere aim of these newspapers to conduct this cam-
paign from the start to finish in a fair, honorable and impartial man-
ner. Every precaution has been taken to safeguard the interests of
participants, and absolute honesty in all dealing is guaranteed.
However, not all wisdom lies in any one man or institution, and
for that reason an Advisory Board has been decided upon, whose
functions shall be to decide any question of sufficient moment that
might happen to arise, and from which a committee shall be selected
to act as judges and award the prizes.
The personnel of this board is as follows:
BEN D. CLOWER, County Attorney.
E. A. MILLSAP, County Superintendent.
T. P. BERRY, Assistant Postmaster.
J. A. DARWIN, Cashier Delta National Bank.
Let it be understood at the very out set that this is not a "beauty”
nor “popularity” contest, but a strictly legitimate competitive pro-
position for enterprising men and women, and one into which no ele-
of chance enters. One feature of this campaign is the fac.

CAMPAIGN PLAN IN BRIEF
The object of this big prize distribution is two-fold. Primarily,
to increase the subscription lists of these newspapers, to collect ar-
rearage and advance subscription payments from present or old sub-
scribers, and at the same time to afford the live-wire, energetic hust-
lers of Cooper and surronding territory an opportunity to profit and
in a BIG way, through their spare time during the next few weeks.
So it is a plan that works both ways, and to the ultimate good af all
concerned.
In order to gain this end quickly and advantageously, a most
valuable list of prizes have been made ready for distribution among
those who participate most actively. Ambition and energy are the
only requisites for success.

HOW TO ENTER—WHAT TO DO
The first thing to do is to clip the Entry Coupon appearing be-
low; fill in your name and address and mail, or deliver, to the cam-
paign department of this newspaper at once. This coupon entitles
you or the person whom you might wish to enter, with 5.000 FREE
votes. These votes are given as a starter—to speed you on your way
way to win. Only one such Entry Coupon will be accepted for each
entrant.
The next step is to call on, or write the campaign department
for a free working outfit. Thus equipped, you have but to see your
friends and acqaintances and have them to pay up their subscrip-
tions through you. That’s all there is to it! However, let us say,
you will never get anywhere unless you make the start—the earlier
the better. Once started, It no one discourage you. Anything that
is worth having is worth striving for. Slightly over eight weeks and
you may be riding in your own BIG automobile!
HOW VOTES ARE SECURED
It takes votes to win, and they are secured in the following
ways: First, by clipping the Free Vote Coupons appearing in each
issue of these newspapers. There is no limit to the number of these
coupons you may secure. Get your friends to saving them for you.
They all count. Begin gathering them NOW while they are good for
100 votes each. After next week these coupons will be reduced to
50 votes; thefollowing week to 10 votes, and after that they will be
discontinued entirely. The only restriction placed on voting these
coupons is that they must be cast before the expiration date appear-
ing thereon.
The other, and much faster way to accumulate votes in this cam-
paipn is by securing new and renewal subscriptions to these news-
papers (the right is reserved to include job printing and advestising
if so desired.) On each order secured a certain number of votes are
issued, the number verying according to the amount paid and during
which “period” same are received at the campaign department.. See
schedule of votes as shown below.
EASY START MEANS EASY FINISH
The advantages of an early start are manifest. The campaign is
of such short duration that immedite action is necessary for success.
Orders taken during the early part of the campaign carry the
MAXIMUM number of votes. Then , too, the first in the field will
undoubtedly get the cream of votes and subscriptions, while those who
put off entering until later date will have to take what is left.
Don’t lose valuable time “waiting to see what the other fellow
is going to do,” but pitch right in and show the “other fellow” how
to do it!
No candidate is eligible to more than one premium.

didates and their friends will deposit their final col-

even the campaign manager, can possibly know the
voting strength of the various candidates, which
precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures
