The firth day of the The Tribune's

| cidents. all showing the intense inter-
| est that is being taken in the event.
| not only by those already enrolled as
| contestants. but also by other young
people who wished to have their names
entered so that they. too. might have
| a share in the pleasulable work of
advancing their own interests.
Although the contest is still very
young. the contestants have begun
vigorously. Henry Schwenker, of
South Scranton. heads the list of lead
| ing contestants, he having brought in
| 2S more points yesterday. making his
| total 81. A contestant entering today,
| however. can quickly catch up with

| Those who expect to send in their
names soon and some who are hesi-
| tating about joining the ranks of the
| contestants. are probably standing in
| their own light by delaying. because
| Il stern chase is always long one,
and the longer the start those already
working have the harder it Will be
| for the later beginners to make il up.
| Besides those whose names are printed
| in the list of leading contestants. no
| one has scored point. and there is
| a large territory that is as yet uncov-
| cred by any contestant and which is
| as rich in prospective subscribers as
can be found anywhere. Young peo-
| pie in Scranton. Carbondale and the
! territory between them as well as be-
! tween StrOudsburg and Hlallstead,
| have a chance this summer to win a
| College or Normal school education
which, in all probabi will never be
