With the opening of another week
comes news of added interest in The
Herald's great prize contest Candi-
dates who have been doing splendid
work are going to make past records
look trivial, and new candidates are
going TO establish records that will

AS to the first statement regarding
those who are going to do better than
what has been the best in the past
MISS Ellen Hansen, who won one of
the diamond rings given away recent
~, and at present leader of district A,
has been on the sick list for the past
week or ten days. This morning she
goes out with her health entirely re-
stored and her enthusiasm in The Her
AIDS contest greater than ever Miss
Hansen says that she is determined to
keep the good work up. 1.-The treat
ment accorded me by those with whom
| have come in contact during this
contest so far has more than encour-
aged me; il has made me determined
to keep out and doing" she says. II
hated to miss any time, but last week
saw me unable TO further my interest
I've had a rest and am now back in
the race"
Miss Hansen is wearing, with much
satisfaction and pride, the diamond
ring she won. The stone is a gem,
and friends have been slow to believe
that SIS represents the full value of the
ring. Experts have guessed SIPS. and
would not believe me when 1 told them
it was The Herald's $75 diamond ring
prize says Miss Hansen.
This shows what kind of awards The

money-and plenty of monaghan buy
are offered. Winning the ring could
not help but be the greatest induce
ment for continued effort, for when
that $4,000 home is awarded experts
will be more likely to guess that II
cost 5000 than $4,000.
Mrs G. D. Barton and Mrs. c. G.
Sloan are two candidates in district 3
who promise to Guido previous accom-
plishments in this contest. Mrs. Bar
ton is at present leader of district B
and has no idea of letting any one pass
her. Mrs. Sloan, however. had gain
of $3.50 from Oct. Is up to Saturday
afternoon to her credit and is showing
a wonderful ability to get votes. The
race between the two is exciting. Both
are representative of the states most
charming residents and both are dem
onstrating what energy will do
