IS CREATING INTEREST
The Northwestern's subscription I
campaign will be in full swing by the I
fifteenth of January, the day the cam
paign commences. A number of live
contestants have entered the race and
a great deal of interest is being mani
fested.
This subscription campaign is be
ing conducted by The Northwestern
and no so called “expert” or “con
test manager” has anything to do
with it. The automobile is on display
at the local Buick agency in Loup
City and the car will not be driven
a mile during the contest, the winner
will be the first person to drive the
car.
The car is a fine Buick four-cylin
der. five passenger touring car cost
ing $725.00 and is a prize well worth
striving for. This is the best prize
ever given away by a newspaper in
this section of the country. All con
testants not winning the car will be
paid a commission of ten per cent on
all business turned in.
Last week we failed to mention that
every five new subscriptions would
count 10.000 extra votes. Every five
new subscriptions will be called a
block and every block of five will count
extra votes. It is not too late to en
ter the contest—it is just the time.
Now is a good time to get busy. Call
at The Northwestrn office and get the
necessary* supplies and get into the 1
race. The person who puts in the
proper amount of time and goes right
after this car and keeps everlastingly
at it will get the car.
The Northwestern has not yet made
arrangements for counting the votes.
This part of the contest will be looked
after by at least three disinterested
parties and a complete record of the
subscriptions turned in by every con
testant will be kept, in addition to all
receipt book stubs.
We believe that this subscription
campaign is being conducted at a
good time in the year, as many peo
ple are not very busy at this time of
the year.
No subscriptions are to be brought
in to The Northwestern office until
Saturday. Jan. 20, at which time prop
er arrangements will have been made
to take care of the votes.
As a special inducement to contest
ants to cast all their votes, all votes
the first three weeks of the campaign
cast up to and including Saturday.
Feb., 3. will count double, after that
date votes will be counted by the ori
ginal schedule.
This subscription campaign will be
run in a fair and business like man
ner and the person getting the most
votes will be the wnner. No favors
will be extended to any contestant, all
will be treated alike.
Last but not least, don't forget the
blocks of five new subscriptions and
the extra votes they count.

he whole game, every girl doing her
very best. A good sized crowd witness
ed the game and helped us out by
their rooting. We hope to have them
all come again to the coming game
with Boelus. Friday night at 8 o’clock.
The boys game was much faster than
the girls. Our boys lacked practice and
it took quite a while before they began
to show any spirit and fight. Our
boys lost by a score of 45 to 13. The
boys are putting in the necessary prac
tice and will be in good trim for the
next game.
