DO YOUR VERY BEST-NUF SED

AS next Thursday, June 80, the end
of The Herald's big $4,000 voting con-
test, draws near various rumors and
reports are current as to the final out
come. Interest in the contest is at
fever heat. Excitement is intense and
the struggle for supremacy in winning
the most varied and valuable prizes
ever offered by a. paper in Southern
California has become most keen. AS
there will be a dozen winners some
races within races can be expected.
At this time the contest man warns
all candidates and friends to pay no
attention to stories of what other can
didates are doing or not doing. The
one thing that a candidate should do
now is to remember that more votes
make success more certain.
AS the end of a great contest draws
near there are always many reports
and rumors in circulation. These are
often started in circulation by candi-
dates who think to make good their
vote getting inability with stories that
will tend to discourage real hustlers.
The Los Angeles Herald has pur-
chased magnificent prizes to be given
away to candidates, regardless of their
station or standing, creed or national
single, regardless of where they are
from, when they entered the contest
and from whom they secured the
votes. The Herald has no favorites
and does not recognize anything tran
spring outside of the office. The con-
test has been carried on in strict ac-
cordance with the conditions of the
contest announced at the beginning,
and the finish will be carried out in the
same manner. Nothing but votes avail
anybody anything.
Now for a word regarding the finish
of this great enterprise. All candi-
dates and friends are invited to be at
The Herald office Wednesday after
noon, June 29 to participate in the
sealing and locking of the ballot box
into which all votes will go the last
day, June 80. This ballot box will be
kept in a convenient place in The
Hera1d's business office from early
Thursday morning until 5 o'clock in
the evening of the same day. At this
hour. to the dot, 1t will be examined
by candidates to see that all fasten-
ings have been undisturbed. When
candidates have inspected the box 1t
will be turned over to a committee OF
prominent bank attaches, who Will
commence Immediately the count Of
| final votes.

! Just what to do and why to do 1t:
"a sharp pencil and minutes

| finish No. 1 June go Five days only
remain, and then-the winners. AS
the contest man has been pointing out
daily in The Herald, all leads for all
prizes are small. and practically all
| of them have not shown the advances
during the past few weeks tnat
should have been made, considering
| the magnificence and immense value
| of the prizes which they will bring.
| Startling as it may be, 1t is a fact
that six of the eight totals which lead
for grand prizes have been stationary
for a month, and in some instances
even longer. The mystery OF this CON
| dition becomes apparent when 1t is
known that not one of the grand
prize leads Is in proportion to the value
| of the prize for which it leads.
1.-THE list of prizes to be distributed
| Tune 40 includes a $500 home, a $33SO
Knox tourabout, a double trip through
