MEDFORD TRIBUNE AND SOUTHERN ORE
G ONI AN GRAND PRIZE CONTEST
Good for TWENTY-FIVE VOTES when used as a nomination blank.
FOB
DISTRICT NO
This Coupon, cut out and mailed to the Contest Department, or depos
ited in the ballot box at the Tribuno Oi flee, will count as one vote for the
i.idy whose name is filled in.
COUPONS SHOULD BE SENT FLAT, NOT ROLLED OR FOLDED
The last week of the contest lias now
started an dthe race is nearly over. Al
though today is Monday and as a gene
oral thing the votes do not come in
very fast the first day of the week,
the" candidates are not letting any grass
grow under their feet and are not let
ting up for a momenet. Votes and sub
scriptions have been coming into the
office all day and from appearances at
the present time they will come in fas
ter than ever from now until the close
of the contest Saturday evening at 10
o 'elock.
The candidates now realize more than
ever the necessity of not letting one of
the few remaining days go by without
securing as many subscriptions as pos
sible. And votes mean prizewinners. But it
is the contestants who get the most nf
these votes who will get the prizes, and
the time is now very short in which to
get them. Starting Saturday morning,
the double-vote offer extension went iu
to effect and the contestants will re
ceive the same number of votes as were
given the first week of the double-votee
offer.
The doublet'-vote extension will close
on Thursday evening and the remain
ing two days of the contest will see the
original schedule of votes, or, in other
words, the same number of votes will
be given the last two days as were
given the tirst of the contest.
With But Five Days
Homaining before the final count of the
contest and all the candidates and their
friends working hard, the excitement at
the close promises to be intense and
this is the time that the candidates
must surely make as much increase in
their respective standings as they pos
sibly can. With the double-vote offer
running as it does for several days yet
anil the contest starting in as it does
on the home stretch, it behooves every
candidate to make the most of the re
maining time.
Notice to Candidates.
Vote coupons will not appear in the
paper again after tomorrow, Tuesday.
The vote coupon in Tuesday's paper
will count for five votes and thousands
of votes can be accumulated in this way.
Do not forget that the vote coupon
will not appear in the paper after
Tuesday, and all paper-voter votes must
positively be in the ballot box at the
Tribune office by 6:30 p. m., Wednes
day, in order to be counted, otherwise
they will be void and will be thrown
out
The last official standings of the can
didates to appear in the paper will be
in the issue of Thursday evening, and
from that time until the close of the
contest the standings will be the same
in the issues of Friday and Saturday.
There will do no votes counted after
Wednesday evening until the close of
the contest, when the judges to be se
lected this week will make th final
count.
On Wdnesday night the ballot box
will be opened for the last time and
when locked again the keys will be
turned over to one of the judges who
will keep it in his possession until the
box is opened for the last count,
j?ay particular attention to this and
do not forget that the position you will
hold in the paper on Thursday evening
will be the same you will have in the
papers of Friday and Saturday.
And, once again, do not lose sight
of the fact that the paper votes will
not be accepted after Wednesday, Feb
ruary 19.
Now, it is up to you, and with a
lead of a few thousand votes over vour
closest competitor does not mean that
Miss Laura Neuber, District No. 3.
you will win in a walk, because she may
have a little something up her sleeve
to surprise you with, so do not think
that because you have the lead the au
tomobile is yours. "
But three more days of the double-
vote offer reinnining, and it behooves
yo utn get in and from now on until
the end make every moment count. In
terest your friends in your behalf as
you never have done before, tiet busy
yourself, come to the office, get receipt
hooks to give to your friends, so that
they may secure subscriptions that
mean double votes for you. The ex
tension of the double-vote offer has
been the means of bringing interest in
the contest to fever heat, and the con
testants are not losing a moment.
Have you taken advantage of the
double-vote of f erf If you have you
are in a fair position to be acclaimed
one of the winners, nml if you have
not you have simply demonstrated to
ymir friends who have assisted von
that you lack ability and aggressive
ness. But a Few Days
And the contest is a thing of the past,
(let in now and dig as you never have
before. You cannot afford to let up in
vour efforts now t hat t he race is so
nearly over. Get in now and make th
most of every moment until the ballot
box closes for once and for all.
In this evening's issue there nppenrs
the picture of one of the most popular
of the many candidates, Miss l,nurn
N'euber, of District No. 3.
Miss Neuber has been a hard anil
onscieiitious worker siuce the contest
started and there are many friends of
the young lady who declare that if per
sistent work coupled with a pleasing
personality will win the auto. Miss Neu
ber will be the fortunate lady to take
the machine home.
The lieo Automobile was on the
streets all day Saturday and attract
ed all kinds of attention.
A largo number of tho candidates
were out for a spin and they one and
all claim that if they do not win the
car it will not be because they arc not
working, but as to who will tako the
car home with them will be decided on
Sntrtrdny evening.

71 SQUARE DEAL
The Rogrie: Kiver Land Company has always contended that
there is no good reason why the real estate business cannot be
carried on honorably ami honestly, with due regard for the rights
of both purchaser and landowner. Actuated by this opinion, the
company has never yet misrepresented as to the character of the
vuil or the quality of the fruits produced on same, with the result
that all who have bought orchards through this agency so far
eould sell out, if desirable, at an advance of 100 to o'Kt per cent
above the purchase price. This is a history of which we are
proud, and we shall continue along the same lines in the future.
Men who come into this favored valley looking for a new place
of abode are entitled to fair treatment. We only ask of them
that they will exercise ordinary business sagacity in investigating
the resources of the valley before buying.
There are three things the average investor wants, if he bui
country property in this valley. First and foremost, he wants a
home wnere he and his family enn enjoy good health and the fruits
of this section. I'snally he wants to get located where he is within
easy reach of the leading commercial centers and dose to local
markets. And he always wants property which will bring in a
good income and is sure to advance in value art the valley develops.
Will he be apt to find this combination in the hands of the
street corner broker or th average "butter in" who persecutes
the homeseeker about the hotel offices! When one considers that
the situation is not urging many men with good holdings to sacri
fice their property here, it is up to the hono-sceker to apply to the
regular dealer for what he want. If he wants the
VERY BEST IN THE WHOLE VALLEY
he nutt apply to the Rogue Kiver Land Company. When in Med
