 SOME LUCKY LADY.
EVERYBODY WINS A PRIZE
An unquie and Popular Voting Con. test In Which There Are no Dis appointed contestants-Every-
 body Wins, Nobody Loses.

The Sentinel+Record will today in- augurate piano voting contest in which every woman and girl in she city and county will be interested. Tn brief. the Sentiael-Record will pre- sent to some lucky woman or girl beautiful and elegantly toned $400.00 Leyhe piano. This will be the grand prize in the contest and will be won by the lady receiving the highest number of votes in the balloting. But the grand prize is not the only one to be awarded The contest has been planned on new and novel line, by which every contestant, except the winner of the piano, will win cash prize. There will be no disappointed candidates in this contest The plan in nutshell is this:
 The woman or girl receiving the highest number of votes will receive the beautiful s40000 Leyhe piano, one of the finest instruments ever brought to Hot Springs.
 The contestant receiving the second highest number of votes will be awarded handsome and useful $25. LOO writing desk, and , per cent in cash on all subscriptions received and money collected.
 In addition. every contestant who strives to win the piano and fails. will receive in cash, a. the close ot the contest. per cent of all sub. scriptions received and money col lected. This means that the leaders in the contest will win a handsome sum in cash. while even the possessor of the loves. number of votes win re ceive a cash award in proportion to the time and effort expended.
 The plan is original with the SentinelsRecord It is a new wrinkle in voting contests and is sure to prove decidedly popular with the ladies of Hot Springs who care to enter the contest for this beautiful piano IL simply means that nobody works for nothing. as is usually the case in such contests. One of the most regrettable features of the average voting con- test is the fact that dozens and dozens of earnest working candidates get nothing for the time and splendid ef. fort they put forta to win the prize. Contests of this nature always leave aching hearts and disappointment in their wake.
 But the Sentinel4Record has evolved a plan whereby everybody will win and every contestant will be happy in the possession of a prize, even if they miss by a few votes the winning of the grand prl4c These prizes will Ibe of the most substantial kind cash If the contest is close between several ladies, only one can win the piano. but the others who have miss. ed the prize by only few votes will receive an award in cash for the eff. fort they nave expended in the en. deavor 10 win the piano. By this plan every contestant will receive in cash , per cent of all subscriptions and all money collected. affording them ample reward for their work.
 This contest will open on Dec. 6, 1912, and will close on Jan. 15. 1913. Any white woman or girl of good char acter Is entitled 70 enter the contest. The Sentinel.Record furnishes all needed blanks, supplies and instruc- tions, an9 will also afford all con testants every aid possible in their campaign for votes.
