IN THE sENTlNEL-REcoRD's BIG TOUR coNTEsT-EAcH DAY
 TELLS A CHAPTER.
New Leaders Appear in Both Dis trcts-contestants All Anxious to Go to Europe and Are
 Working Hard.

Today was the heaviest coupon vote balloting since the contest started, for the reason that yesterday was the last day of the ten-vote ballot and nearly 25,000 of these coupons were cast and very large amount of these were surplus votes which could not be counted for any Of the candidates on account of the rule limiting the number of coupon votes which could be cast for a candidate in one day. Some of the candidates had as high as 5000 votes more than could be counted for them and in a spirit of liberality gave them to contestants in other districts than their own who were not fortunate enough to have as many votes as they could use.
 In the First district Miss Myrie Jones still retains first place and Miss Ida Marx makes very nice gains in this district, with bunch of the oth- CT contestants lowering close around ready to take advantage of the oppor. tunity that will finally present itself. Tn the Second district Miss Gertrude Sanders halls from sixth to first place. but she cannot expect to hold this position very long aus the candidates in this district keep things stirring and there is just apt to be one of the candidates at the top tomfnorrow that is down pretty well in the list as not.
 The people seem to be just awak- ening to the value of the prizes which the Sentinel-Record nas offered and to the fact that any young lady crn win one of these magnificent tours of Europe if she and her friends will only put forth the requisite effort.

 AS the contest grows older the in- terest increases in every district and the rivalry between the different con testants and their friends becomes more and more intense. Prom now on the fight will be waged in dead earnest and the many contestants will display the genius of generalship in a manner that will surprise their clos est friends and acquaintances. If any of the politicians desire to obtain some valuable pointers in campaign ing just let them watch the general ship being displayed by the shrewi contestants in this race and they will be surprised.
 The definition of success has been given as doing the common thing in the uncommon way" From the manner in which the many different candidates are organizing the contest for the Sentinel-Record free tours of Europe, they have certainly fully solv- ed the problem of success. Monday marked the liveliest day of the con test to date, many visitors called at the Sentinel-Record office and the con test force was kept busy in the office all day. The telephone bells were kept ringing constantly and this. to- gether with the compilation of the tre- mendous output of special ballots and coupons that had to be counted and verified. kept the whole of the con test department busy until late hour Monday night
 Are Clipping the Coupons
 A complete organization for the gathering of ballots has been entab- lished by Sunday school and high school scholars and from this time on very few coupons will be left uncut from the columns of the Sentinel4Rec- ord by it's multitude of readers. The circulation manager has been expert encing considerable trouble on ac- count of patrons not receiving their pape.s s each morning and 1t has been asceIYained that this is due to tne fact that the boys are. in some cases. borrowing" the papers. as 1t were, after theg1have heen delivered by the carriers.
