| Sacred Heart College and Miss Emile
| Hayward are still see-sawing for the
| leadership in the gold prize contest.
One goes up and t'other down every al
| ternate day. This game has been in
progress since the first OF the week,
and If it continues with the same reg
ularity for the remaining three days
Miss Hayward will be on top at the
finish of the first contest period and
will win the $500 prize. The college is
up today According to precedent it
will be Miss Hayward's turn tomorrow;
on Saturday the college should be on
| top again, and on Sunday. or the final
score for the period. Miss Hayward
should have the coign of vantage again
and rake in the big bag of coin
! But the best laid plans of mice and
men gang aft by contraries. and games
| for big stakes like the ones that are
being played for now do not always
work out according to system. The
/ plank on which the two leading con-
] testants are see saving may slip and
one or the other, or both of the see
savers, take a tumble. Sad fate, II
both should fall and some other con-
testant mount the lofty perch and grab
the $500 persimmoni But there are
pretty good pickings farther down,
where no such long reach is required.
! There are the $500, 5000, $3.50 and 500
plums, all of which are well worth
| the plucking, and the $50. $40, $50 and
| $40 peaches, FIVE of each, which will
be some consolation for those who
reached for bigger fruit and failed to
grasp it.
MOUNTING INTO BIG FIGURES
Sacred Heart College and Miss Hay
ward have both passed the 100000
mark and scores of six figures will be
| the fashion now among the high five"
who will win the big purses of 500 and
over Miss Hayward led the college
| by 1900 votes Wednesday morning.
Both were on their mettle yesterday.
but the college scored the largest gain
| for the day and this morning has a
lead of Just 800 votes. VIII Miss Hay
ward be able to overcome this small
majority and gain enough additional
votes to be in the lead again to-
morrow? She was greatly pleased and
encouraged yesterday by contribu-
ton OF $500 votes from a gentleman in
Sacramento. who wrote that he never
heard of her before his wife read to
him the story of the contest in The
Call, which told of the gallant fight
she was making against so popular
and formidable a rival as Sacred Heart
College. He said: 81 was greatly pleased
Il
to see you stay there very much, there
fore l am sending you my check for
SO to pay for one years subscription to
The Daily Call, just to help you win
the prize for which you are putting
up such a game fight"
Mrs Deasy and Reuben Bebergall
are standing pat in third and fourth
place, respectively. Neither scored a
point yesterday, and both are now so
! far behind the two top-notchers that
| 1t will take tremendous jump to over
take them. However, great jumps may
| be expected from these two popular
and able contestants. Either or them
may be found on the top round of the
ladder at the finish, though the present
state of their scores would seem to
| indicate the contrary.
SHASTA COUNTY AVALANCHE
The snow lies fathoms deep on
Mount Shasta and the surrounding
ranges. The Shasta County candidate,
Don Campbell of La Moline, seemed to
| be buried under the snow for a long
time, but yesterday he dug his way
| out, and the result was regular ava
lanche of votes for the intrepid noun
| taineer. gain of 33,450 votes at one
fell swoop almost doubled his previous
score and took him back to fifth place,
which he lost to Miss Briody of Santa

port he makes 1t count. He holds the
record for new subscriptions to The
Ca1l, sixty-six out of seventy he has
thus far sent in being new and most or
them are for terms of not less than six
months or one year. he writes that
most of his friends have left there for
| the winter, else he would be sending
| in the subscriptions at still more
/ rapid rate He will be heard from
again before the end of the first heat

''cotch EN-"
Miss Briody registered pretty nice
gain herself yesterday, but Campbell 5
| coming with his big flood of votes set
her back to sixth place again.
Little Irma Klaumann made another
! big lump and is now pressing Mrs.
McElroy and Emile Iversen pretty
close The latter two and Mrs. Laudon
/ were not heard from at all yesterday,
and If they stand still for another day
Miss Irma will probably get their
scalps The Monterey Daily Cypress
has been saying more nice things about
! this handsome and popular little girl,
| and the people of Monterey County are
| focking Loyalty to her support.
According to the Daily Cypress the
soldiers of the Twentieth Infantry, u. >.
A.. stationed at the Preside at Monte
reg, are getting interested in Miss
Klaumann's campaign, all the more SO
because they can help her by subscrib-
ing for the soldiers favorite paper.

says:
"As might be expected, the gallant
members of the Twentieth Infantry
Regiment now stationed at the Pre-
sidio, in Monterey, always prompt to
answer a call to the front in line of
duty, can also display their promptness
in answering a call to the aid of a
little 11-year-old girl living IN the
vicinity of their quarters. The boys
in blue. and especially the officers and
| members OF the Twentieth Infantry.
are always found on deck when any
member of the fair sex appeals to them
