Scholarships An Important Feature in
Contest.
Without education in these days sue.
cess is almost simpossible. And with
out education there can be no real en-
joyment in life. The life of today is
more and more a life of intellect. The
uneducated man or woman is shut off
from avenues that lead to prosperity
and welfare.
OF education there are many kinds,
and there are among human beings
many degrees of receptivity and ca
pacity.
The young ladies who win the
scholarships in this contest will be
very fortunate in having them in the
best colleges in Mississippi-The Hat
tiesburg Business College and The
South Mississippi College; both have
the reputation of turning out only first
class, capable students.

Thousands Of Votes Being Cast
Daily and Every One Taking
Advantage Of the Double
Voc Offer.

Thousands of votes are being cast
daily and every one is taking advant-
age of the double vote offer for this
and next week.
This week of the great three thous
and contest has started with q vim
and every one of the contestants who
are entered in the race are out with
the determination of getting everv
possible subscription before the double
vote offer closes Saturday night at
IL o'clock February 18TH Only fifty
per cent will be allowed after that
date and If you have single subscrip-
ton promised it will be to your inter-
est to get right after that party, for
every little bit added to what you've
got makes just little bit more and
that little bit may be the means of
your winning one of the excellent
prizes that are being offered.
There is not a single contestant in
the entire race but who can easily
win one of the prizes if they but
work, and anyone can secure ten year
ly subscriptions, and this would give
you 100000 votes, which is more votes
than some of the leaders In some of
the districts now have to their credit
Many contestants are already out
with the determination of winning one
of the fine prizes and are now working
hard, taking advantage of the double
vote offer. You will notice from the
list yesterday that they are coming to
the front rapidly and are now consid-
cred in the lead,-still there may be
many holding back votes, so to be on
the safe side all should get out this
and next week and work as you have
never worked before.
Reports are often started that GER
tain candidates have enormous number
of votes, simply to scare the other
candidates out, and these reports
should not be needed at all.
While it is very good ndea to keep
near the top of the list in order that
your friends will see that you are in
the race as a runner, it is bad idea
to poll all the reserve votes to ac-
complish this end. A large reserve
vote should be kept until the last,
and not try to keep the lead at this
time by polling these votes now. II
candidates start fighting for the first
place now, 1t will make the number of
votes that will win the capital prize
much larger than it would be if the
contest takes its own course.
