You can send in your sub
scription to take effect at any
time in,the future. For instance,
if your 'subscription to any pa
per or periodical expires Jan. 1,
1905, and you wish to take the
Courier next year in its place,
you can subscribe for the Cour
ier now, to commence Jan. 1st,

The Courier is not charging
anything extra for the large
amount distributed in prizes. A
large circulation is the object in
view. This will insure higher
advertising rates and thus repay
,us.
Every one gets full value for
his money, and a large per cent
get many times the value of
their money.
This is where a legitimate
guessing contest differs from a
lottery.
