Make Your Life Work Pleasure by Gaining
Chance to Change Your Occupation

At 10 o'clock last night the special
feet week offer expire. and many who
had not thought of The Calls contest
were led by it TO enter. Their sue
cess ia the few days this offer was in
force showed them how easy they could
get votes and put them permanently in
the contest for the Winton Sixteen
Six valued at $3.50. the three Tourist
Model * cars, worth $3.50 each. and
the 81 scholarship and trip prizes.
IN every subdistrict keen competition
has begun to show. and in many of
TEN tie leading contestants are within
& few hundred votes OF each other and
have kept in that position for several
days. The value OF The Calls prizes
which aggregate $50 ,0oe. is apparent to
al OF the contestants, but most appar-
ent still is the benefit that each winner
viii derive from the scholarship. trip or
automobile that he or she may win.
VALUE OF EDUCATION
Business life today is largely one OF
specialists, men and women who can do
one thing. but who do that one thing
well. In the list of scholarships offered
by The Call 81 chances TO specialize in
one direction or another are afforded.
No matter what you want to become,
an architect or an engineer. a plumber
or q pianist or even should you desire
q general education leading to entrance
10 YOU by The Calls scholarships.
The foremost educators Of the day
are insisting that every graduate
from a public school should be able to
earn his or her daily bread after leav-
Ing school. While this may not come
10 pass in the next decade, how many
thousands. especially OF women, have
said IN life, "Oh, If I could only earn
my own living" when left dependent
DIFFERS GREAT OPPORTUNITY
The Calls contest offers exactly that
opportunity Through il scholarship
may be secured. which will pave the
way TO great success in life when fail
ure seemed Inevitable. Then there is
another class TO whom this scholarship
offer should most strongly appeal. TO
those whose life work is cast along
distasteful lines and who see nothing
ahead but the same over and over
until death relieves the monotony.
There is no need for such a state of
affairs in any ones lie, especially in
this land Of opportunity No greater

MUST NOT RELAX IN EFFORT
By this time most, if not all, of the
contestants have set their mind on
some one of the prizes. Some desire
TO win one Of the vacation outings,
while others desire scholarships. and
probably by far the greater number
will be satisfied with nothing but that
Winton Six-Teen-Six. or failing it one
of the three Tourist cars at least. It
is obvious that Il should not take so
many votes to win one of the scholar
ships as 70 attain the $4.sso motor
car. But here is one danger that
must not be overlooked. You
must not slacken your efforts
when you are near the goal just be-
cause you believe you have enough
votes. You must get every vote that
you can If there are no more in sight
60 out and dig up few The best dig
ger will be the winners, for they are
not satisfied to take what comes to
them, but go out and find subscrip-
tions awaiting them right under the
noses of other candidates who passed
the place where the votes were with
out a thought
INTEREST Is INCREASING
Alameda county or Grand Prize Dis
trict is beginning to awaken to the
value Of the prizes offered by The Call
Two weeks ago scarcely 100000 votes
had been polled in the entire 10 dis
tricts- Today more than 100000 are re-
corded. showing the increased inter-
est with which this contest Is regarded
in the cites across the bay. Keen
competition should result in this dis
trict toward the close Of the contest, as
II will take more than a few thousand
votes to win the Tourist Model K car
that is offered IN that district.
Too much cannot be said Of the many
ambitious workers In Grand Prize Dis
trict c, which stands less than 100000
votes below District A. where about
S00.O 900 votes have been cast. It would
seem from this showing that those who
live outside the big cities have great
deal more energy and ambition than
exists IN the more crowded districts OF
the city, as Subdistrict in Grand Dis
trict c has been in the lead almost
from the start Of the contest, although
Subdistrict in Grand Prize District A
has been at all times a close second.
AIDS GIRLS EFFORT
Thirteen is ordinarily deemed an
unlucky number. but the young woman
IN Stanislaus county who is the sup
port Of an invalid mother and several
small children will not deem 1t unlucky
when she learns that a subscriber In
Palo Alto has sent her that number OF
votes. There are hundreds OF readers
Of The Call who have been watching
this voting contest. clipping the votes
each day and who have no one for
whom they can turn them in: yet there
are many deserving men and women in
this contest who are not looking for
the luxury Of an automobile and de-
sire only the education they see is
necessary TO success in life. Every
subscriber should read through the list
Of contestants and see II there is not
some one whom he can aid.
