To You
Increased activity marked the
efforts of the coutoBtauU in the
Free Automobile contest this
week. New candidates have en
tered until at the present writ
ing there are 71 active candi
dates in the field. Not only has
the past week been marked by
the entry of new candidates, but
there has also been a great in
crease in endeavoi amon the
. candidates all along the line.
It would seem that the con
testants are constantly realizing
more clearly the magnitude of
the opportunity that lies within
their grasp. This in turn has
resulted in the increased activ
ity above noted. It will be seen
by a glance at the standing of
the contestants printed in kbil
issue that the total of votes cast
is becoming very large even
this early in the contest.
This all goes to prove Unit
the winners will not have an
easy time or "bloodless :ictry."
There aro plenty of candidate!
in this race who will contest
every inch of ground thorough
y. The Argm freely prodlctl
tl this tiiiK thai the final sl.im!
ing of the winner will he up a
long ways above the million
mark, and possibly beyond Ihi
two or three million mark.
Many sttangor things have hap
penod.
Just as in our last week's issue
we wish to remark that this is
no contest for the faint hearted
It is going to take energy and
perseverance to win, hut the
prizes are worth it. "The Lord
helps those who help them
elvu," o goes the old saying.
The modern vorbion of it, as
expressed by Herbert Kuufman,
the gffl metropolitan writer,
ig, --'I ti Lord loves a qufok,
hard hitter."
The moral to all this is that
nothing will succeed like good,
pure giit and perseverance.
Take the success of a doen sue
cesfcful men in any line of en
deavor; analyse the things that
led to their tuceess and it will
be found that they differed from
the ordinal v run of men, not so
much in ability as in grit and
perseverance.

of life and will not be won with

words of an old Chinese sage,

The moral of that Chinese
saying is that continued aud
regular work is necessary. . It is
not enough that the contestant
should display a spasm, die en
ergy and interest in her own be
half. Work should he done ev
ery day. One hour every day
is worth 24 hours a day once
a week as far as bringing in
results are concerned.

vantage of every aid in securing
votes. There is no use in
choosing the hardest going of
your own account. Call at the
Argus office and secure the
subscription blanks. They will
he found a great convenience
in keeping track of the work
don. You should also re

iness men and get the due hills.
