The prizes are all good, espe­

are worth much to any lady.
Every person maiding hers and In

The contestants are working hard to
win the beautiful prizes offered In
this big contest, and are worthy of
the support of the people here and
In the vicinity.

standing o f the contestants Is given
at the latest hour we are able to com­

The standing of practically every
candidate In the list has shifted some
two or three times since last Friday
morning and nro likely to do so moro
than once before the close of the con­
test next Saturday evening at 8 p.
m. Hence, It behooves each one to
keep everlastingly at it. It is still
everybody's race. The standings are
close, and a little work on the part o f
friends of almost any o f the active
workers Is likely to boost them Into
a leading position.
The prizes are
worth winning, and those who have
friends seeking one of them w ill bo
doing a gracious act by getting be­
hind and helping boost.
The young Indies who have taken
part as contestants In our Dig Sub­

thanks and we wish all might be
first prize winners, but every prize
offered Is well worth the effort put
forth, nnd we hope all of the con­

We
sincerely hope that every business
