OF DISTRICTS

CONTEST
INFORMATION AS TO CAPITAL

And About the Liberal Proposition of
This Paper-The Present Club
Offer This Week Positively
Only One to Be Made

There still reems to be a misunder-
standing among some of the contest
ants and their friends as to what dis
tricts are working against each other.
In contest No. 1, for young ladies, the
districts are all working for the cap
ital prize, which will go to the young
lady who receives the largest number
of votes of any in the entire contest,
regardless of district limitations After
that prize has been awarded there Will
be four prizes for each district, and
in that way each district is a separate
and complete contest in itself. The
only way that the districts are work.
ing against each other is for the cap
ital prize, which will be the $500 house
and lot, and is to go to the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
in the entire contest No. i. After that
there will be a capital prize for each
of the ten districts. besides three other
prizes for each district, consisting of
scholarships, diamond rings and gold
watches.
Another question which has come up
is. How long are coupons which are
issued from the office good for?" They
are good until the last night Of the
contest-it is just the coupons cut from
the Daily Herald which must be in by
a certain date.
The special club offer of this week
is positively the best offer of the con-
test. Never again during the contest
will subscriptions count for as many
votes as on this offer which closes
Saturday night, May %, at 10 p. m.
The offer is: Every contestant who
turns in five one-year subscriptions or
ten for six months, before Saturday
night, Ma g, will receive a coupon
to be held in reserve, to be cast at a
later date or held until the close of
the contest, whichever the contestant
