If you are devoid of enthusiasm,
ambition, and that quality called
“pep” in the language of the “live
wire,” it will not be worth while for
you to read any further. You may
as well save your eyes. But if you
are actually open to a call from op
portunity, and have a fair share of
ambition, then we know that you will
be tremendously interested in this
story.
Some wise man once said, “Im
portant happenings occur during the
blue moon season.” We are not pre
pared to state whether this is the
blue moon season or not,' but we do
know that one of these important
happenings is going to be put on in
Holt county in one-two-three order.
The fact of the matter is you will have
to watch closely for this proposition
is going to be staged in the short
period of eight weeks.
Don’t get impatient and wonder
why we are beating around the bush
—we are merely trying you out. If
you are a live wire you will have the
patience to read still further. Any
way, it will only take you six minutes
by the clock to read the entire article.
All right, if you are now in a re
ceptive mood, listen closely: We are
going to pull off the greatest contest
that has ever been staged in this
county. We are going to head our
list of prizes with that world famous
car, the Five Passenger Maxwell Tour
ing Car, 1916 Model. You ought to
know that the Maxwell has long been
noted for the service it renders.

to give twenty-five per cent com
mission on new subscriptions to every
contestant who makes a cash report
each week and does not win a prize.
You see everyone who tries in earnest
will be bound to come out winner.
Our contest is being conducted by a
firm of experts in this business and
one of their representatives will be
at this office very soon to answer all
questions and help each contestant as
much as possible. Our contest is be
ing handled by the old and reliable
firm of Burgess, Johnson & Co., of
Brookfield, Missouri.
The Maxwell automobile will be
given to the contestant who has the
most votes at the conclusion of the
contest. Contestants will work only
eight weeks. The other prizes will
be awarded in the order listed, and
the commission will be given to non
winners.
Votes will be issued in only three
ways—by securing cash subscriptions
to The Frontier at the regular rate of
$1.50 per year, by collecting the free
fifty-vote coupons from each issue of
the paper and by selling advertising
and job work cards. Nothing could be
more simple. However, all questions
will be cheerfully answered.
The thing to do is to clip out the
nomination blank which appears in
the big ad on another page and send
it in today. You can nominate your
self Cl a friend.

went to Germany about a year ago for
a visit and will probably return to this
country after his marriage.
