THE RECORD
 AS II STANDS first Days Work in Sub-
 SCTiptiOn Competition A Good Start by All Con testants Toward the Free Scholarship Goal.

The first days work by the contest ants in The Republican free scholar ship contest was highly encouraging, S225 being turned in by them. Harry Kerr won first place. His votes were earned largely by yearly paid in ad- vance renewals by his friends. Some others of the contestants who have the lowest scores secured more new orders That is what results the most for The Republican and that class of work kept up will make final winners of these contestants. Some one with the low score now. will no doubt make Harry hustle in a few weeks. Following close after Harry was Byrda Shott, the hust- ling young lady who is going to make the race very interesting indeed for the boys and is a likely candidate for | first place at any time. And up till 1 five o'clock she was neck and neck with Harry, but just before the con- l test department closed at 6 o'clock, Hary bounded in and unloaded his sec ond haul of subscriptions which near ! ly doubled his number of points and sent him far in the lead. But it will ! be Interesting to watch the score on Tuesday morning as some surprising changes may take place.
 i Francis Crowley, a busy little fellow ] who also seems 10 kIlOW HOW LO IuSlle l paid-up subscriptions, scored third and was only a few votes behind Miss ] Shott Francis has many staunch sup ] porters among the business men of the 1 city who are anxious to help the boy ! to an education and it is expected he ] will make a strong fight.
 i Fourth but not far behind second and third. Paul Cronenberger scored an even two thousand votes. This boy ] is one of the brightest and has "tac- i tics" of his own as he hinted to the ! contest manager that he had a few things up his sleeve, and doubtless
 there will be some interesting changes
 in his score.
 l Paul Todd. Ben Kimber and Alton .' Stoner ran a close race. They are all ! good steady workers, and it is expect
 ed their score will move up gradually, | slow but sure. and it is this steady in l crease of the untiring workers, that is ] going to put them in the winning | ranks before the contest closes. Flor ence Stevenson, one of the enthusias- tic contestants of Tempe. scored heav- fly against Homer Corbell and Clyde Miller of that district. Florence is de ! cfdedIy anxious to win one of the schOl-
 arships in music, and is worthy the
 help of every friend in her effort to se-
 cure one of the courses offered by The ! Republican. The Tempe manager had
 not heard from the other contestants
 there. and Homer CorbeH turned ir
 early in the day. so it is likely that
 his score will take a rapid stride up
 ward when he scores again. Clyde Mil
 Ter and Sidney Moore are also to bt heard from and may give Miss Steven
 son a close race.
 One of the brightest and most busi ness like little chaps in the entire con
 test is Milo McKibban. He was one O
 the first callers on Saturday morning
 and wanted to make sure that he un derstOod the rules governing the con test. etc. And instead of seeking tn
 help of his friends by subscribing through him. he set out on a regula
 canvass of the residence district a
 would an expert or salaried solicitor
 and while Milo's score of points wa small, his business was of the best -' being all new orders. Milo is least i size of all the contestants. but he cer
 tainly will not remain last in tn
 list of scores. A notable fact in tn
 first days race is that the entire SCOT - of each contestant represents bushes
 secured. as there were only five cor
 pons turned in.
 Now, boys and girls, the fight is u
 to you Enlist the help of everbod
 you can You are doing a good wor
 and making a worthy effort to hel A yourselves, and most assuredly all you
