THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MED FORI). OR.. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. W08.
NOW OR NEVER, TO WIN THE AUTOMOBILE
Contest Doings the Main TopiG of Conversation on
the Streets of Medford-Who Will Win the Reo?
Is the Question Asked on all Sides.
With tin- contest but two more days
to run, excitement is at fever heat, and
will be more so before the end.
The candidates have but two more
days iu which to secure votes and sub
scriptions enough to put them amoug
the winners at the end, and they are
certainly making hay while the suu
shines.
If there is a man or woman in the
vicinity of Medfurd, or within a radius
been approached by some one of the
contestants and solicited for a subscrip
tion for all the way from a month to!
one and two years, the contest man
agement would like to hear of it. I
And as a general thing these people j
uo.u ii-oju.i.iiiu .VI,, gl-UCIOUSl , nun
the majority of the candidates have
very nice scores.
The standings of the candidates as
they appear iu this evening's Tribune
will be the same iu the issues of Friday
and Saturday. There will be no more
votes counted until the judges open the
ballot boxes for the final count.
Important Notice to Candidates.
The last official standings of the can
didates appear in this issue, and from
now until the close of the contest the
standings of the contestants will be the
same in the Issues of Friday and Sat
urday. There will be no votes counted
after Wednesday evening until the close
of the contest, when teh judges to be
selected this week will make the final
count.
On Wednesday night the ballot box
was opened for the last time and
when locked again the keys were
turned over to one of the judges, who
will keep it in his possession until the
box is opened for the last count. Pay
particular attention to this and do not
forget that the position you wlli hold
in the paper this evening will be the
same you wi lhlave in the papers of
Friday and Saturday.
To insure a fair and impartial deal to
every candidate, not that full confi
dence has not been placed in the man
agement of the contest, but because of
policy, it has been decided to have two
judges and tabulators to preside over
the- final counting, and by this method
the contestants can feel assured that
eacr and every ballot will be counted
as cast.
The candidates and their friends can
turn iu votes and subscriptions at the
Tribune office until 1(1 p. m. Satur
day; at that hour, or at such time as
the subscriptions are all made out, the
ballot boxes will be turned over to the
judges, who will ntke charge of the
final count.
Keep Busy
For the Inst few days, as you have since
the contest opened, and there will not
be much danger but that you will be
among the winners at the last count.
The Best Time
To secure subscriptions is right now, the
last, couple of days of the contest. F.s
pecially is this true of those of the
candidates who have worked hard since
the contest opened. Those of the la
dies iu this contest who have been
working from morning till night to
secure votes and subscriptions are the
ones who will now get thousands of
votes and more support and assistance
than those of the candidates who did
not make so much of an effort the first
few weeks of the contest.
People take note of those who are
working and those who are not doing
so much, and it is the former who will
receive the support when support is
needed, and it is now that that assist
ance is needed as it never has been be
fore. Reserve Votes
Are being held by the most of the can
didates and they are keeping the size
of these reserves a secret, and when
the final count is known there nre sur
prises in store.
You Do Not Know
The extent of the other candidates' re
serve and you may be tinder the im
pression that you have enough votes
to win in a walk, but take time by the
forelock and augment that reserve fund.
Never get the idea in your head that
you have enough votes to win; and
again it is a good deal better to win
by a majority of 50,000 votes than to
lose by ten votes.
Paper Coupons
Will not be accepted again, nnd it will
be useless for the candidates to bring
any moro to the office.
Put Your Certificates
In the ballot boxes at the Tribune of
fice between now and Saturday night,
so that there will be no danger of them
being out at the final count.

support, and this support is of the kind
that counts and menus prize-winners.
In th.s evening's issue th paere
In this evening's issue there appears
the picture of Miss Beeson.
Important!
All votes that have already been is
sued must be in the ballot box by 10
o'clock Saturday night; although if a
contestant is in the office with her sub
scriptions beforo 10 o'clock and she
cannot be waited upon at that time, she
will be allowed votes on her subscrip
tions, these votes to be cast as soon as
issued; for instance,, if a contestant is
in the office turning in subscriptions
and receiving votes, although she is
not finished turning in subscriptions by
10 o'clock, time will bo allowed her in
which to finish; just so long as a con
testant is in the office by 10 o'clock,
votes will be issued on all subscriptions
turned in by her, but it would be wise
not to wait until the last moment.
Subscriptions may be paid in to tho
Tribune office until 10 o'clock Saturday
night.
Make the last couple of days count,
contestants, and there will not be much
fear of the results. Keep continually
after votes uud subscriptions until tho
last moment, and never say die until
the ballot box is closed for tho lust
time.

of why our bread is in such demand

Special Sale of
ORCHARD
Vt'c arc able to offer for a few days the most desirable
young orchard within a few miles of Medford. which
we have been able to offer our customers for a year,
and within reach of the man with reasonable capital.
The tract consists of 212 acres of orchard land, with
i( acres in cultivation and 4) acres in orchard of the
right varieties of fruit, .just coming into bearing.
Thirty acres of the orchard is in Spity.enlicrg and New
town apples and Cornice pears. Fifteen acres in
prunes, with good dryhoiise on promises. Fully (()
acres more of good fruit land on the tract, covered with
brush, but with enough firewood on same tit pay for
clearing and setting to fruit. N'ow is the time to act in
this matter, for values are advancing so rapidly that
only the rich can afford an orchard in this valley in a
few years. Why shouldn't values advance, when the
right kind of an orchard is yielding such fabulous returns?
