dates for the various prizes, The Her
AIDS voting contest takes on more
pronounced interest for all concerned.
Names have been coming in to this
office during the past week with in
creasing rapidity, and many of them
accompanied by a goodly number OF
votes. New candidates are constantly
being nominated, and no doubt inter-
est in this line will continue until with
in a short time before the close of the
contest. Each issue of The Herald
contains voting coupon which may
be filled out and cast for one of the
candidates already nominated, or
which will nominate some one not yet
in the race.
Every reader of The Herald will be
interested in some one of these great
offers The prizes are of such value
and of such diversity that there Is
scarcely a household in Los Angeles
where one or more OF these prizes
could not be used.
Every article offered in this contest
is of strictly flrst-class quality, and
all are of actual practical value. Many
of the prizes will prove a decided ac-
QUESTION to the money-making ability
of the winners-the typewriters, motor
cycles and bicycles will each prove OF
worth in that respect.
Other prizes of practical value are
the clothing offers. These Will be In
the shape of cash orders on the most
reliable stores of the city, where the
winners may make their own selection.
With these orders all Of the selection
need not be made at one time, but a
portion may be reserved for use when
the fall school term draws near. In
families where there are several grow
ing boys and girls to be fitted out with
hats, coats, boots and shoes, not to
speak of the school books and other
paraphernalia which the opening Of q
new school year demands, reserve of
fifty or seventy-fve dollars at some big
department store will prove of decided
value to the students as well as to the
parents whose single purse would 9TH
erwise have to stand the strain of the
entire outlay.
Real Estate Prizes
The house and lot and the lot at the
beach will also be of good money value
to the winners of these prizes, and the
contest promises to be particularly
strong about those two prizes. With
property steadily increasing in value
as 1t is In Los Angeles now, a business
woman of acumen would undoubtedly
be able to make a great profit out of
the investment of a few hours time
spent in an effort to win this magnifi-
cent prize.
The lot to go to the successful winner
of contest No. will also be valuable
piece OF property and may be used
either as the beginning of home place
by the man who wins It or be disposed
of at a big profit when the increase in
property values shows the market in
desirable shape.
The musical instruments which are
offered are all of reliable make, and will
ne x11o 70 tba
winners. Pianos are often the most
highly desired object Of a young girls
dreams. Many homes, otherwise COM
plete, lack this one essential to the
happiness of the young daughter, who
has grown to an age where she longs
for music lessons and the ability to
play, as her schoolmates do. The plano
offers are all sure to excite great inter-
est, especially after the magnificent in
struments which The Herald has Sc
lected are placed upon view in the show
windows of the shops from which they
have been purchased.
Many out of town women's clubs have
been nominated In the contest for the
grand piano. These are many of them
large clubs, but as yet without an In
strument sufficiently fine to accord with
their beautiful new club houses or the
houses which they are planning to
build The officers and directors of
These CLUBS dIt tWOiilcil VI SlcI6ys anu
quick to grasp every opportunity which |
may be of benefit for their club. I'm |
doubtedly a strong effort will be made |
TO capture this splendid prize.
Furnishings for Room
Few things appeal more deeply to a |
young girl than a dainty. tastefully APP
pointed room of her own, and the offer |
of furnishings which The Herald makes |
will enable every girl who cares to |
make the effort to have a delightful |
room. She may have what ever color |
scheme or decorative scheme she de- |
sres, for the winner of this prize will |
have an order upon one of the largest |
and best furniture stores in the city |
and may make her selections regardless |
Of anything but her own taste and the |
limitations of the check.
The tour prizes which are offered are
too we'll known to need any comment |
here. The value of the scholarships, |
which range from $500 down. is also an
important feature of the contest. These |
scholarships will include courses in pre-
paratory schools, art schools, conserva-
tories of music, schools of dramatic art |
and commercial colleges.
