WEEK
OF SPECIAL OFFER
Best Chance for Candidates in Herald's Great
Contest to Secure Extra Ballots

Despite the fact that last week was
the hest of the entire contest, subscrip-
tions and votes have not ceased to
come in for a single minute. Every
mail adds to the already large list of
new subscribers, and every hour The
Herald candidates bring in lunches of
new names to be entered and votes to
be issued and polled. This special Of
fer has FIVE days more TO run and
this fact alone is enough to warrant
the intense interest manifested. In
every part of Los Angeles and the sur
rounding country candidates are work.
ing with might and main soliciting
subscriptions In order to win one or
the FIVE prizes now being offered by
The Herald. The reserves are piling
up rapidly, and the vote totals in the
printed list are also making rapid adj
vancement. Build UP an impregnable
reserve now that the double vote is on
as 1t will be needed before the race Is
over. This week witnesses a continu-
alton of the best special offer of the
contest. On another page of this issue
OF The Herald will be found the an
nouncement telling all about 1t. Here
it Is in a nutshell: On every subscrip-
tion, either old or new brought in this
week, extra votes viii be allowed. The
increase of votes is 100 percent. For
instance, suppose you have five yearly
subscriptions to turn in, II you place
the orders this week you will get 1900
votes; whereas, IL you walt and turn
them in later, you will only get $500
votes. The extra $500 votes may be
Just sufficient to win one Of the prizes.
If your friends have promised to sub
scribe in your favor, get them to full
fill their promise this week and get the
extra votes. DO not let them hold their
orders back, as you will not get nearly
as many votes on subscriptions later
on. Presented today Is a likeness of
Miss Edith Houston of the Broadway
Department Store, who is among the
many candidates who are taking an ac-
tive interest in this contest. Miss
Houston was born in st. Louis, Mo-, but
has resided in Los Angeles for the past
eighteen years. Besides having a large
circle of admiring supporters, Miss
Houston is an active worker as a vote
getter. If hard work and a large cir
Gle of friends count for anything, she
feels confident her name will be in the
list of lucky ones at the close of The
Herald Great Salesladies Contest.
Following is the scale of votes issued
on all subscriptions, either old or new,
turned in this week, November IL to

ROME'S & ROEDS.

My pen has been still for
a while, there has been so much
sickness and so many deaths
here lately.
Rev. William R. Hadley died
November, the 9th, on his way
from his Chenille home to his
new home that he had just
bought at Este. We got him in
at Joby Kernes before he died.
He was afflicted with dropsy of
the heart.
Beecher Hadley died here at
his home November, 81. He
had been in bad health for more
than a year. His last sickness
was brain trouble. He' leaves
behind him a wife and three lit
tie helpless children.
Eugene Hurt died here the 20
tn, with typhoid fever. This is
the 9Th case that Tom Hurt has
had in his family in the last three
months. Eugene was a nice
young man and was taken in his
youth, being only Fl years old.
This should be a warning to all
young people to get ready to die,
for life is so uncertain, and
death so sure.
Jack Lollis, an old soldier, is
near the end of the way, soon
will have answered to the last
roll call. Comrades let our last
days be our best ones. This is
my daily prayer.

signed the presidency of the

of New York. For quite awhile
that company has been under in
vestigation and it has been shown
that it's policy holders have not
been as thoroughly protected as
they should have been. The
princely salaries drawn by the
officials of the company and the
extravaganza and misappropri-
alton of funds leaves Mr.. McCur-
dy in an unenviable position.

instances, and not a few, the gen.
eral appearance of the paper, Its
make up an d contents are so
much improved as to barely show
kindred ties to itself Of eight
years ago. The improvement is
still going on with every progress
sive newspaper man and in every
progressive community. While
we believe the advances made
are largely due to the men en-
gagged in this import and field OF
usefulness, yet we are as GER
tain that the reading public is be-
coming more and more appreciat-
i've of such efforts and attain
ments. The time is not far dis
tant, in our judgment, when the
intelligent-citizen, regardless Of
religious or political bias, will set
the stamp Of disapproval on the
less progressive papers and give
more encouragement to t h o S e
measuring up to the march of in
dustry and general advancement.
AS time moves on, as changes are
made and the merit and infu-
ence of the local newspaper are
better understood, the patronage
and endorsement of the people
will fast center on those whose
efforts are best serving their COM
munity. The town or county
without a progressive newspaper
is not the one whose property is
increasing in value, conditions
growing better or attractions
bringing in enterprising citizens
from other communities. A live
man makes a live newspaper and
a live newspaper makes a live
community. There is no profes-
sion, outside of the ministry, that
so affects public sentiment and
shapes the ends and advances the
good of a country as the press.
Fortunately better men, better
plants, better publications are
coming to aid in the great awaken
ingand sharein the unprecedented
development throughout the State
The man without public spirit and
Enterprise can find a more useful
sphere in which to labor, and he
who posses these attributes OF
