The interest in The Gazette Euro
pean tour contest is increasing each
day and more and more people are
watching The vote column in the pa
per. This is the result OF the work
that is being done by the young Ia
dies who have been nominated for
tour honors and who are bespeaking
the support of their friends. And
the girl who first asks the support OF
a friend is pretty certain 10 be the
one who secures that support.
Many coupon votes were cast yes
terday and several Of the contestants
reported subscriptions and others
that they had subscriptions promised.
Only three or four OF the ladies
who were nominated knew their
names had been entered in the lists
but when they saw their names pub
Iished. some of the candidates pro-
cepded to get very busy in their eG-
forts TO win success.

da1e i'm the lisl has rhe same oppor-
unity 10 be The winner in her dis
trict if she will but make an effort
on her part and thereby let her
friends know that she desires their

is progressing. can not help observ-
ing The keen interest which has been
taken in il everywhere mad while the

country will become more thoroughly
with the plans and the in
,erest will become stronger.

three districts that the candidates are
doing all in their power TO enlist the
aid of their friends and it may be
said in passing that those who DO TINS
and go about il Systematically are
the ones who will be successful I'M
winning memberships in The great
tour OF Europe.
Many Changes Expected.
The names OF the candidates and
number of votes accorded each AS
published today shows the votes re-
ceived by the candidates up TO Thurs
dav afternoon at four o'clock and thel
standing of the candidates as it will
be published tomorrow will show
many changes.
New names are coming in daily and
will come in for some time yet. II is
never 100 late TO enter the compet:-
ton. but those who enter early will
have the greatest advantage.
Voting is not restricted in any
sense whatsoever. The Gazette read

prise pays for every cent invested.

each. bur for every dollar received
BY the paper one hundred cents

turned. Ii is an investment rather
than an expenditure and no one
should consider it in the light that

the money than any other investment
