Il did not take Mrs. Deasy of Napa
very long to recover second place in
the gold prize contest. from which she
was Ousted Tuesday by Don Campbell,
the Shasta County wonder. Mrs.

herself in third place yesterday morn
ing but she Immediately got busy and
registered a gain Of $3.50 votes, which
took her back to second place and
within 200 points of Sacred Heart Col

friends of the college were busy too,
during the day. and a gain of 5150 still
leaves the institution safely in the lead
and nearest to annexing the $500 purse

vanced in position yesterday was Mrs.
John Laudon. who registered a gain of
1850 votes and moved up ahead of Irma
Kls lsumann. the bright little Pacific

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS
There are many worthy contestants
who have not yet scored any votes.
though some of them have had their
names on the list for several weeks.
The names of others have Just been
proposed, and they have not yet had
an opportunity to make any canvass
for votes. Some Of the recent recruits
give promise of being winners after
they once get started, and IL viii not
take them long TO oyertake those who
are at a standstill and apparently TAX
ing il for granted that they can win
without working. The money will
come easy to any one who win make
an energetic campaign. but whoever
expects to win without effort is very
likely TO get left at the wind-up. Most
Of the contestants are putting off max
ing an earnest start until after Christ
mas, but the wise ones are those who
until the race is won. Delays are dan
gerous.
