Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1911-12-07

The Yuma News Company's seventh annual newspaper subscription con test closed as per schedule last Satur- day night.
 AS in former contests the burden of the contest fell on the few, and but three bright girl contestants finished and won prizes. ,,, v
 Miss Ruby Livingston, who finisted first in the race for the $2OO prize, has never failed to win in any contest she has ever entered and has house full of prizes. including a splendid piano which she won in the Yuma News company's contest of two years ago. "'
 The word fail has never been includ- ed in her vocabulary and this fact un- doubtedly kept number of candidates out of the race this time, the common impression prevailing that Miss Eiv ingstop would win, so for this reason much credit must be given to Miss Ethel Lynch, of the Yuma valley. who finished second and received the $109 in gold, and Miss Sue Whitemore, of Bard, who was awarded the $90 .00 : scholarship in the Brownsberger col lege at Los Angeles. These girls are the kind that win under all circum- stances, and are to be congratuiated on the nice prizes won.
 That the Yuma News company has been more than liberal in the .iistri- button of prizes will be conceded when it is considered that the winner of the $2O0 prize turned in subscriptions aggregating, in value $361 30; the winner of the $1OO in gold turned in s297 10 and the third winner of the s9O, ,OO scholarship turned in $175 90,
 These figures are taken from the contestants report sheets.
 The vote of the three winners in cluding the 250,OOO bonus votes won by each two weeks ago was for Miss Livingston 721,S5O; Miss Lynch 551, 800 and Miss Whitmore 449,O00 sj
 While the vote was not close. the contest was extremely interesting IM to the last moment. GN No one could have guessed the win ner until the votes were counted, wheaC the developments proved that Miss. | Livingston had the big subscriptions ] of the kind that the wise contestant out to win always gets few of. Il
 Coupons -and small subscriptions count some, but it takes lot of big subscriptions to win big prizes. ,0
 Probably owing to a rush of ChFist7 mas business the newspaper cuts of the candidates had not arrived at; tie close of the contest, and the one of Miss Lynch has not yet arrived, but will probably arrive tomorrow. sl
 A good picture of Miss Livingston was published in yesterdays Examf- her and elsewhere in the Examiner to- day appears one of Miss Whitmore. .y
