Circulation cannot bo boosted by frantic and ridiculous assertions. We neither assert nor Ojoast-rwo simply invito you to ox ami no the original orders and then form your own deductions.

Mr A. B. Green, recently of the ,f Wairarapa Ago/’ Masterton, was an appreciated caller yesterday. Ho thoroughly enjoyed the hum of the circulation buzz-saw, and gave his opinion this way: “The Voting Contest is a circulation-getter, and every business man can best serve his own •interest by a personal inspection.” Thanks.

Mr Atkinson and Mr W. A. Larnbriok, of Auckland, saw the buzz-saw buzz yesterday, and gave it their Jaearty and sincere approval. Mr Lambrick, who is a prominent land agent, gave a practical demonstration of. his faith in the “Times” circulation by placing a substantial contract for advertising space. See Last page. Buz-z-z-z.

Small and big advertisers are invited to inspect our circulation records: Kitchener is coming. . Ho will be tb© lion of tbe hour, but the winner of the Voting Contest on March 19ih will be no less honoured. There has been a business intentness about the Civil Service of late. Wonder what it is all about?

Wanganui's champion band might bo found in the vicinity of Larnbton. quay on March Ibth. Several prominent business men have boon seen about the Contest Department lately just having a look round. No names mentioned, please Mr Printer I Wink as good as nod, ch 1 Certaih newspaper canvassers have been asked to case down on our i “largest circulation,” tarradiddle in response to a popular request. They bare been told plump'ly and plainly that you can’t build up business on lies. This department holds the documents. Wanganui Willie’s battlers are good fun on -the trains, s'ay passengers. •‘The Times” is all the rage. “Wait till they get the (contest over and .then I’lT show you,” said an exasperated opposition nowsrunnor yestordny. But the battle baa only just begun. Book out for squalls. “Every day is lady’s day. with me,” sang a Bodmin plumper as ho deposited his wad with the Contest Department yesterday. Candidates: Behold our new array <v; pacing prizes offered to-day. Buzz-buzz-busy ! Every day the interest grows aid vote-getting grows easy. Connelly’s team of merry hoys is on the job in unexpected places. The workshops -are giving their champion hearty support. He who runs may read: — Wellington February 16, 1910. Dear Sir,—Pluck is a splendid thing and doubly so where womdn are concerned. It is .with pleasure that I offer a .five-year subscription on behalf of Miss Bodmin towards the Otaki Hospital through the matron of that institution. Miss Bodmin probably has but little time, owing to her office duties, to devote to. the question of votes, but she appears ito< have a constantly enlarging circle of friends. — Yours, etc.,
