 Candidates and their friends are re minded that the coupon votes now be. ing published in this paper must be cast within seven days or their value will be lost. Save the coupons fo- your favorite. but see that they reach the contest ballot boxes in time to count.
 The Time to Hustle.
 The first period of the contest has closed and, although the contestants have done splendid work during the few days that were allowed them to  devote to subscription getting, there is room for improvement, and there is every indication that they will ac- complish many time more during tho two weeks of the second period than they did during the first. Every con. testant Is now hustling to overcome her opponents and all of them are en. deayoring to hold in reserve as large special ballot vote as possible, and for this reason it is a manifest impos. sibility to even approximate the win. ners at this time, but two weeks from now, when this opportunity per iod or double votes has closed. pick ing the winners will not be so diff cult a task aus it is today.
 Room at the Top. David Harum said. "You can never tell frnm a frogs hind legs how far he can jump" So there IS no telline When a candidate who Is away down on the list may take a jump. pass ali of her competitors and land in first place.
 If your favorite's name does not appear at the top of the list in her district, do not be discouraged there. by, for it is probable that she has spe cial ballots enough salted down to climb up there whenever she desires to do so, but is wisely saving them to spring surprise on her competi- tors when the judges make the final count at the close of the contest. Contest Absolutely Fair. One condition which gives the pub lie confidence in the Sentinel-Record's tour contest and has helped to make the enterprise such a grand success to date, is the fact that at the conclu sion at committee of the best men in Hot Springs will act as judges, can. vass the final returns and make the awards of the membership. These will be raen of integrity and only those who have a reputation for fair. ness and honesty, and they will have entire charge of the final count be governed by the rules and regulations as published in the beginning of the contest and make the awards to the ladies who have justly won.
