The Herald has been devoting considerable space to telling students and their friends of this contest but it has brought forth but little results. Just why this is so we are unable to tell. We offered these prizes in good faith, sup posing that there would be a number of the students of the Normal who would devote a few minutes of their time trying to induce their friends to take the paper. Very little interest has been shown by them, but there is yet time to redeem themselves and get enough new subscribers for the Herald to enable us to make the cost of the prizes. Both the rug and the pen have been on exhibition for over a month and no one need plead ignorance. The student receiving the largest number of votes will have the choice of the rug or pen the next largest will receive the re maining prize and the third largest will receive two dollars in cash. Every new subscriber will re ceive a ballot good for 100 votes which can be voted for any stu dent they wish to receive the prize.
