About June 20 the first delivery of books of tickets w1as received from the printer and the mailing of them was started on the same day. Within ten days the entire first order of books of tickets were mailed out, yet before the mailing was complet.ed some of the books from thooe first. delivered were already sold and the proceeds turned into the Campaign Headquarters. According to officials in clharge of the campaign who have had previous experience talong this line, this had never happen·• ed before and it is remarkable to see the books of tickets being turned in at such an early date. There are several reasons for this outburst of enthusiasm which should not be overlooked, the, first as well as the most important of which is the BulJ T a morrow's Car T odalJ l The Newest Mode] 40 V-8 fact that the Veterans of the Constabulary is one of the outstanding organizations in the Philippines; and when it comets to producing results it is second to none. Another good reason is the facl that the Gift Distribution Committee ha.s worked night and day for months to secure the right merohandise at tht. right pric~, with the result ·bhat the gifts in this campaign are the greatest ever offered. In fact it can be said that prizes offered during this campaign are almost double :any that were ever offered before in a similar undertaking. Col. Juan Dominguez, Major Telesforo Martinez, Capt. Rafael Ramos and other officials are proud of this wonderful offering and are extending their sincere thanks to the many :friends who are russisting so nobly in this affair. As to the prizes the greatest interest center~ on the two automobiles that are to be given away. Combining the manv advanced features that you have always wanted in a motor car.

'These two automobiles are only two of the 100-big gifts that are to be g·iven away on the last night of the celebration. In a previous undertaking of this kind there was only one automobile and about 50 last night gifts offered. T n previous campaigns of this kind there were about six or eight prizes be given to the individual ticket buyers. But the officials of this campaign demanded bigger and better inducements be maJCle to offset th'e much-talked-of depression, therefore there are thirteen ( 13) prizes given out with each book sold not counting an extra special prize which brings the total up to 14 prizes. Those of a superstitious nature should note that the committee has adopted that famous lucky number thirteen. Over P50.00 worth of merchandise is being given out with every book of tickets, therefore, any one who desires to purchase the entire book of tickets may do so and they will receive more than their money's worth in actual merchandise besides contributing to a worthy cause and also having the opportunity to participate in the distribution of those 100 big last-night gifts. The books; also contain hundreds of admission tickets to the fair grounds in December which promises to be one of the greatest events of its kind ever held in tha Orient. Several persons have already taken advantage of this most liberal offer. Another set -of prizes that is <ttusing quite a stir among ticket sellers are the three big prizes offered to the person who sells the greated num, ber of books. But it is not generally known that to compete for these prizes all you have to do is to have your friends who are selling tickets to men·• tion your name when paying for their books.

It seems as though there is no end to the prizes that are offered during this campaign. Last week the Gift Distribution Committee got ttheir heads together and purchased 13 \additional musical instruments and tennis rackets and are going to give them away as additional prizes to the Constabulary Company who sells the greatest number of books of tickets. And again it might be well worth mentioning that these prizes are separate from all other prizes and all that a company has to do is to have their friends mention their company when the book is paid for and credit will be given to that company. This i'S not only sounds easy but is easy. The Queen ·Contest Committee has been hav1ng numerous meeting]s to formulate the plans for tllat most important feature of the campaign. There are 1,000 votes that go with each fully sold book of tickets. This Queen contest ~hould create a great deal of interest as the lady selected as Queen will not only be wined, dined and feted and will reign supreme during the nine gala nights of fun, laughter and joy, but will also be offered an opportunity to appear in one of the forthcoming Philippine Talking MotiO'n Pictures along with the biggest motion picture stars in the Islands. Taking the campaign as a whole the officers in charge such as Col. Dominguez, Major Martinez, Capt. Ramos and their many assistants are to be congra:tulated on working out and formulating the plans for such a gigantic undertaking and afThe GERMAN Codliver-Oil-Emulsion combined with Yolk of Egg.
