While coming down Main street ‘about 1 o’clock in the morning Officer Avery saw the beams of a flashlight playing on the rear windows of the garage. Thinking that it might be one of the employees who was working late he walked across the street and toward the back of the garage. As he did this a man lurking! in the shadows of a tree on an adjoining lot began to whistle as a warning signal and started to run up Main street. The intruder with the flashlight followed him. When in the vicinity of Lehman avenue they were joined by a third man in an automobile and hastily made their escape. Officer Avery fired three shots after them but was unable to bring them to a halt. Only a few years ago the garage was broken into and a large quantity of tires and valuable automobile supplies stolen.

The campaign has been worked out in the minutest detail so that every boy and girl who gives a little of his or her spare time will win a prize of the highest quality. The campaign is not in the nature of a contest but gives a generous re- ward to every worker. The prizes have been selected from a. long list of nationally known and advertised brands, so that there is not an inferior article in the long list. From the most expensive article listed to the one that requires little effort to obtain, all are of the best quality obtainable. There is no time limit for the workers. They can spend a week in working for their prize or a whole summer, just as they choose. In a test campaign run in one community, a small boy obtained more than forty subscribers in less than one | week. Obviously, the boys and girls who get started first will find it easier to | obtain subscriptions than those who | wait =until many children are working |in The same community. The prizes will be valued in Post rold Dollars. | For every subscription gent into the Dallas Post the solicitor will be paid in Post Gold Dollars or Post Silver Quarters. These can be exchanged for | prizes which the Post Gold Dollar Man | has in his treasury. Just as fathers | and mothers exchange real money for | groceries, coal and dry goods at retail st ¢, so the boys and girls exchange Post 0Gld Dollars with the Post | Gold Dollar Man for prizes of their {own choice. : For every new subscriber sent into {the Dallas Post one Post Gold Dollar will be awarded the solicitor.
