for you the
- Now that the excitement incident to
Portland's Rose Festival is nearly over
candidates who have entered the race
for the grand prizes offered by The
Journal to the 25 winners in Its fourth
annual circulation contest should be
able to get in some good work. Thowe
who have not yet entered and who are
contemplating doing so should not do
lay longer In getting Into communica
tion with the contest department In or
der that they may be supplied with the
necessary printed matter and begin an
active campaign. The sooner you en
ter the longer time you will have to
see your friends and get them to sub
scribe. A few days of delay now may
cost you heavily in the end, for the
voles you might obtain by a few more
days effort might place you at the
head of the list and win fc
Buiok automobile.
Although the contest opens on Mon
day. June 14, entries may "lie made at
any time up to the middle of July, and
there are many sections of Oregon
where large numbers of subscriptions
could easily be obtained where at pres
ent there are no candidates enrolled.
Contestants from these sections stand
a splendid chance. Very few nomina
tions have been sent in from southern
Washington and Idaho, yet the circu
lation of The Journal in those states
Is already large, and the palter reaches
the people of those places earlier than
any other metropolitan newspaper. If
you have a largo circle of aoqualnt
ancos ln'any of the smaller cities, towns
or country districts in southern Wash
ington or Houthern Idaho send In your
name to the contest department and
make a list of your friends to call
upon. You may be rewarded for your
efforts at the rate of $30 a day for
the contest lasts but about 50 secular
days and the Rulck automobile with
the attachments Is valued at lf00 and
so great is the demand for these fa
mous machines that the factories are
unable to keep up with the orders.
Should the number of your votes fall
below those of some other contestant,
you are almost certain to win One of
the other prizes if your interest in the
contest does not flag. How would you
like to be presented with a city rot In
one of the finest residence districts of

the $!00 lot in Oearhart Park which
The Journal purchased from Chapin &

the water front and faces the ocean near
Seaside and would make a delightful
