Five days! Just FIVE days more re-
main of this special prize period in
The Herald's $4,000 voting contest.
This period opened with the close of
the previous period at 10 o'clock Sat-
urday evening, April Q, so all votes
cast between April 10 and April %, in
elusive, will be counted in on this new
offer. Ten splendid prizes will be
awarded to the ten candidates who
have shown the greatest increase be-
tween April 10 and April 20, inclusive
These ten prizes are:
$500 course in the De Chauvenet Con-
seryatory of Music and Dramatic Art
$3.50 building lot in the city of Braw-
ley, Imperial valley.
$3.50 scholarship in the Los Angeles
School of Art and Design.
800 instruction in violin by Proch-
now.
500 scholarship in the International
Correspondence school.
500 scholarship in the California
School for Boys.
500 course in the Fillmore School of
Music.
S75 diamond ring to be selected by
winner at S. B. Bailey's.
$65 course in the Belding Railway
and Telegraph institute.
$55 violin purchased from FitZger-
AIDS.
The increases to date are very small,
as will be seen by the vote standing
on page IL in this issue. No increase
shown Is in proportion to the value of
the prize led for. With five days left
in which to secure and cast votes our
candidates in this contest should put
forth every effort to make as good a
showing as possible. Every vote cast,
remember, is an increase. Votes cast
prior to 10 p. m, April g. will not be
counted in this period at all. 1t is only
the votes cast after that time and up
to 10 o'clock Saturday evening, April
%. that will count. Hence all candi-
dates are on an absolutely equal foot
ing. There is no excuse for any can
didate not doing his or her very best.
Another important reason for activ-
ity during the next five days is the
fact that the vote schedule takes sec
ond drop at 10 o'clock Saturday even
ing. April %. Up until 10 o'clock,
April 23, every dollar paid in on new
subscriptions will count for 100 votes,
and every dollar in old subscriptions
will count for 95 votes. From April
"a until May a dollar in new sub
scription payments will count for $50
votes, 10 votes less than at present,
and one dollar in old subscription pay
ments will count for 80 votes after 10
X.
at all to see the benefits and advan-
tages of casting the votes now. Why
not get your friends to subscribe now?
It will cost them no more than 1t Will
later and give you more votes per dol
lar.
Still another important item which
the contest department wishes to call
TO the attention Of all candidates is the
following announcement published in
the contest supplement: Extra votes
for club subscribers. Until further no
tice 100 extra votes in addition to the
above schedule will be counted for
every dollar turned in with a club Of
ten new subscribers" The important
part of this announcement is the first
three words, until further notice.
This means that when a change is
made II will be a reduction in the eX-
ira votes given on clubs, so candidates
should be making up all the clubs pos
sible as quickly as possible. Under
stand that every vote which VIII be
given during this contest is shown in
the schedule of votes published in the
contest supplement. There VIII be no
advance, or double votes or triple
votes. Whenever a change is made il
will be reduction. so present activ-
itv is worth a whole lot more than
plans for the future.
Until May Z 800 votes will be given on
each classified advertising coupon
book. So candidates who can place
these books-and this applies to all
candidates-should not overlook this
beautiful method of securing votes. No
end of people use classified advertising
and the candidate who sells these cou-
non books gives his advertisig friends
and acquaintances IS worth of adver-
tising space for 81, a 20 per cent saw
ing. If you do not understand this
thoroughly, ask the contest department
at once.
Remember the ten special prizes list
ed above will go to those who have
shown the greatest increases between
April 10 and 23 inclusive, and every
vote cast since 10 p m, April 9, and
up to 10 p. m, April %, applies on
this offer. and all those cast in an ef-
fort to win a special prize will count
on the capital or grand prize distribu-
ton at the close of the contest.
