made Of the number of points neces-
sary to enable a contestant to pass up
in the list. II must be remembered
however, that an extra effort will be
made on this, the closing day, and due
allowance made. Here is the record:

Today Is the last day of The Trib-
une's Educational Contest, This con-
test started on May l3, over three
months ago, or, to be exact, just
10 days ago, and will reach its
finish tonight at s o'clock, when
the court house bell tolls that hour.
During the sixteen weeks that have
elapsed there have been siXty-one
enrolled in the book of contestants,
but a majority of these were faint
hearted and were soon wearied of
their self-imposed task. There We're
seventeen. however. who stuck at their
posts. Some of these have fallen wo-
fully behind the last month, and to-
day, the last of the competition, sees
twelve active participants striving to
secure enough points to win one of the
eight special rewards. Four of these
must be left at the finish, but which
four will it be? That issue remains in
doubt, and it will depend entirely on
the contestants themselves. Those
who have worked hardest will reap
the reward of their labor in strict ac-
cordance with the showing they make
at the time the books are closed to-
night.

Many Changes Are Possible.

1t is quite proba BILE that there will
be a number of changes on Monday
morning. from the list we publish
today. and ii may be that some who
have held commanding position all
through the contest may finish lower
down than they are at present. In
nearly all contests most of the COM
petitors reserve themselves until the
last day and finish in grand rush.
This may or may not he the case in
The Tribunes Educational Contest.
But If there is any one of the leaders
who can strengthen his or her position
today. or who can even advance be-
yond the point where they now stand
according to the published list, il will
be an act of extreme folly should they
fail to exert every effort TO do 80.
The race between the contestants from
first to tenth place is closer than it has
been at any time during the past two
months.
1t is now open to conjecture who will
make the best showing on this last day.
As it is the last chance to better their
standing, ii may be depended upon
that each and every one of the contest
ants who has the least show to go up
higher will make the very best of the
few hours that remain.
