There have been contests and con-
tests in Los Angeles and the surround
ing country but none that have ever
started off with the dash and en-
thusiasm accorded The Herald's pop
ular salesladies contest.
There are many bright and popular
salesladies in the race up to date, and
no doubt before the end of the week
and the announcement of the names
has come out, many more will be in
the contest. There is always room
for one more and no end of interest
will be manifested before the close,
Saturday, December %. The five
most popular salesladies will receive
the 100000 worth of prizes, and all
the expense will be borne by The
Herald
The prizes are the most sensible as
well as expensive ever offered by any
newspaper in Los Angeles, and as
formerly announced. the prizes will
be distributed Immediately after the
close of the contest. Be sure to vote
at once; the first announcement as to
who the candidates are will appear
in next Sundays paper. If the name
of your favorite does not appear, you
may be disappointed, although there
is plenty of time to enter her name
later, but the old proverb about the
first in the race having the best
chance of winning is doubly true in
this case Cast your vote now and
vote often. Every one can vote as
often as he or she chooses. using for
the purpose the coupon clipped from
The Herald.
There is another and better way of
voting, however, and that is by votes
secured on subscriptions to The Her
aid.
These votes may be withheld as
long as desired, but the coupons
clipped from The Herald are good
for one week only and must be polled
before the date printed on each vote
has expired. Persons living outside
of Los Angeles can vote for any lady
in the contest.
Truly this contest has become the
talk of the town. The large number
of letters received daily is the best
evidence possible of the extreme in
terest and popularity into which this
contest has sprung. Nothing before
inaugurated in Los Angeles has tkaen
grip on the public interest as the
Popular Salesladies contest. Keep
your eye on the voting and make up
your mind to help some lady to win
one of these valuable prizes. Any one
of these valuable prizes would be ap-
preciated by any lady in Los Angeles.
No one connected with The Herald
or who has relatives employed by
The Herald will be entered in this con-
test Employees of this publication
will also be barred from voting.
This avoids any possibility of any
partiality being shown and is rule
which will work for the good of all.
Some of the candidates are already
beginning to realize how easy it is
to secure votes and wonder why they
have never entered a contest of this
kind before. The expense is heavy
one to The Herald, but everything has
been arranged and not one objection
able feature will mar the awarding of

CROWDS ATTEND WORKOUTS
Fight Fans Throng to Pavilion to Wit
ness Boxing Bouts Between
Sullivan and Others

Interest in the coming fight between
Jack Twin" Sullivan and Tommy
Burns is shown in the large audiences
which gather daily at the pavilion to
watch the workouts of Jack Twin. ."
Sullivan is getting into shape without
trouble and is working like a beaver.
Yesterday he punched the bag, skipped
the rope and boxed several lively
rounds with Jim Tremble and Rube
Jeffries. Twin and Trembe mixed it
rather lively for a few rounds and
when Twin quit work he was streaming
with perspiration.
AL Kaufman was expected to box a
few rounds with Twin, but went to the
baseball game instead. He will prob
ably show up this afternoon and work
out with Twin. Since j. Arthur john
son left Twin has been without spar
ring partner.
Twin telegraphed again to Brother
Mike yesterday urging him to come to
Los Angeles without further delay.
Twin is of the opinion that Mike will
not get Jimmy Gardner to fight for
several months, If at all, and considers
1t time lost in remaining in Frisco
If Mike is anxious for a fight he could
probably get one by coming to Los
Angeles. 1t is understood that he is
willing to meet Cans for the title. and
the probability of his defeating the
dusky champion so good that this
seems to his friends to be the proper
course to pursue.
Cans is the legitimate champion and
should Mike defeat him he would be in
position to force those who are now
hanging aloof to come to him. This is
the substance of the advice which is
being hurled over the wire to Mike at
Frisco

KAUFMAN is NOT MATCHED
Fias Received No Notification From
Delaney of Fight With Jack
O'Brien for October 27

Al Kaufman, the kid wonder in the
heavyweight fighting division, said last
night that the report that he had been
matched to fight Jack O'Brien at Frisco
October - was undoubtedly premature.
as he has had no word from Billy De-
laneY, his manager, and is of the opin-
ion that he would have been notified
had the match been made.
Local sport fraternizers are discred-
ittng the report because of a confidence
in the shrewdness of Manager Delaney
and it is not generally believed that he
would send Kaufman up against as
clever and high-Class man as O'Brien
until Kaufman has had more ring eX-
Der!ence.
While it is believed that Kaufman is
in line for the heavyweight champion
ship and will eventually reach the top
of the ladder under ordinary conditions
his lack of experience and the fact that
he has never been UP against a top
rOtcher as yet would weigh against his
chances of defeating OBrien
Kaufman expressed confidence in his
ability to defeat O'Brien and said he
could get into condition for the fight
on October p. He is Indifferent as to
the match, having no preferences for
the man, just so that he gets on with
some one of the really good men in
his class without delay.
He admitted that he believed Hart
would be easier game than O'Brien, and
is willing to take on the Blue Grass
champion whenever and wherever the
match can be made.
Kaufman will remain in Los Angeles
few days or until he is ordered back
to Frisco by Delaney, and does not
expect to remain until after the Sulli-
van-Burns battle

W0MAN'S DRILL TEAM HERE
Seventeen San Francisco Rebekahs
Returning From Long East
ern Trim

Seventeen pretty young women. COM
posing the drill corps Of the San Fran
cisco Rebekah lodge No. /, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday en- route to San
Francisco after a tour of the United
States.
The girls are under the direction of
their drill mistress, Capt. Allie Parker.
The drill corps started from San
Francisco five weeks ago to participate
in the annual meeting of the Sovereign
grand league Of Odd Fellows at Phila-
delphia.
Through long study of the manual
Capt. Parker has familiarized her troop
with the use of the sword according
to strict military order and this fea-
ture proved a revelation to the east
erners.
The girls received the same COM
mands given in a regular military dress
parade and executed them without a
mistake. In Philadelphia the California
team won first prize in the dress parade
and later a $500 special prize was
awarded them for their excellent drill.
The team will drill in Los Angeles
at the Elks' hall Friday night

the ring and believes he is entitled to

Billy Bell and Rube Jeffries went
two fast rounds yesterday. Bell was
very speedy and exhibited good abil-
ity in avoiding that terrific jolter of
the Rube's which won for him last
week. Bell wants to get on return
match with the Rube, but prospects
are very slim at this time.
Frank Fields, who went out on War

the pavilion for Il few moments yes
terday. witnessing the prep stunts, but
expressed no desire for another match
at present.
Jack Arthur Johnson bundled his
rags together Yesterday and left for
Frisco in the afternoon. The dusky
heavyweight believes he will get on
a match within the next few days,
and his suden departure was occa-
stoned by a message summoning him
to return to Frisco without delay. He
takes it to mean that he is "on."

on being refused came down to $500
and finally offered to take $3.50, and
as it was all out of reason the COM

the schools in the primary and gram
mar grades are much crowded; that

SCROFULA
FROM PARENT TO CHILD

The laws of heredity are invariable
and the diseased blood of parents is
handed down to children in the form of
Scrofula. Being thus deeply rooted
nothing can reach the disease but con-
stitutional remedy. The very foundation
of the blood is diseased, and until it is
purified and made strong, those who are
born with a scrofulous tendency cannot
have the blessing of robust health.

KING CORN IS THE LEADER.
Monarch of the West Shows His Pow
er for Good.

Monarch Of the West Shows His Pow
er for Good.
Corn is king by a good safe majority
in this country, according to- the final
report of the Bureau Of Statistics OF
the department Of agriculture. Not
only was the 1904 crop OF such vast
proportions that it has been exceed
ed but twice, but the high prices at
which it was marketed made a new
record for it's aggregate value. The
record corn crop Of the country was
produced in 1899, when the official re-
turns credited total Of 2,666,44O, 600
bushels. In 1902 the government plac-
ed the figures at 2,523,64S,0OO bushels.
Last year the agricultural department
figures show a yield Of 2,467 100000
bushels, but on account of the increase
in prices it's market value was $70,OOO,-
600 greater than the crop OF 1902,
which until that year had held the
record for value.
The returns of the department on
the 1904 wheat crop show marketa'
BILE value greater than for 1901, al
though the crop is nearly 100000. O.OoO
bushels less than for that record year.
In this respect there is far less cause
for congratulation than there is over
the excellent showing made by the corn
crop. The dimensions of the yield OF
the coarser cereal were so far above
the average that in supplying business
for transportation companies, ware
housemen, and numerous other indus
tries dependent on the grain trade,
much of the loss through a poor wheat
crop was equalized. In the case OF
wheat the abnormally high price was
not an unqualified blessing. While the
gross returns which were divided
among the farmers and SPECTATORS
we're several million dollars greater
than ever before, much smaller pro-
norton of the population Of the coun'
try was benefited by these prices
than was the case with corn. The
shortage made heavy inroads on the
nrofts of some Of the roads traVersing
the American wheat belt, and capital
thus suffering, passed the blow on to
labor by laying off train crews and re-
ducing operting expenses, so that dol
lar wheat this time was at the ex-
r.nse of the American people ana
not due to any strength in the for
eisn markets, which in all previous
seasons have been the prime factors
in elevating prices.
DESPITE the constantly increasing
demand for corn as food product, and
an increase in the home consumption
due to the short crop and high prices t'
of wheat, the decline in corn ship
ments was far from being so pronounc-
ed as that of wheat, American corn
shippers thus holding their foreign
trade much better than wheat and
flour exporters.APortland oregonian'
