are being far surpassed by some Of
those far from the metropolis. There
seems 70 be more energy and more de-
sire TO better their condition among
the contestants IN grand district c than
in San Francisco or Alameda counties.
At least that is what the list of votes
says. Competition IS far keener in
some OF the outside counties than it is
in the. crowded city districts Perhaps
there is more opportunity in. less pop
ulated districts, but we doubt it.
DO YOU EARN 500 A DAYf

almost 800 a day. Only seven weeks
now remain for the contestants. and ali
who are entered should begin to speed

What you get is what you deserve.
according to a cynical philosopher.
Deep down in the heart of every man
and woman is the feeling that they are
not getting quite as much out OF life
as life should give them. This contest
offers you an opportunity to get a little
more out of life and at that whether
you win a prize or not.
ADD TO YOUR FRIENDS
The secret OF success in dealings

contest offers you 2 chance to exercise
your tact upon your fellow man and

you induce TO help you becomes at
once your friend? You widen your
circle of influence in the world, and
all with whom you come in contact
remember you as one Of the energetic
persons they have met.
When the time comes, and some one
is looking for a person who can do
things. some one Of determination who
sees the thing he wants and never quits
until il IS achieved, you will be the one
recommended. Your success in this
contest will mark you for higher sue
cesses. SO why do YOU delay entering?
There are no conditions attached TO
this contest. You come into direct
competition only with those in your
in any district that you please There
are four automobiles offered, and your
chance 10 win one is as good as that
OF any one else.

The eclipse will begin at Washing
ton, D. c., at 81 o'clock in the morn
ing and will end at II Al o'clock, max
ing the hours it will be visible in Paris
and this section of the country from
10: 27 o'clock until Al o clock. The
path of the cell sc will be Mexico City,

on this continent, and will cross the
Atlantic Ocean and terminate some
where in Western A frica. The eclipse
will be total in Southern Florida and
about IS per cent total in the other
sections where it will be at all visible
on this continent.
Kentucky experienced a partial
eclipse Of the sun last January, but at
that time only a very small part of
the sun was obscure and then only for
a few minutes, and as result it was
hardly noticeable except by astronom-
ers, but the eclipse scheduled for the
latter part this month will be visi-

the sun eclipses OF the past were only
