MAJORITY OF THE VOTES TURNED IN ARE PLACED
ON THE PRESERVED" LIST
BUSY DAYS MAKE PREMIUM WINNERS
Not too Late Enter the Race for Handsome Premiums Real
Workers Are Beginning to Reap Results.
Popularity and Energy Win

Some of the young ladies and
children seem to be under the
impression that it is too late to
enter the Big Popularity Contest
and win. For their information
we want to say that the contest
has hardly started in this city, and
as for the outside race, 1t is just
beginning.
Any wide-awake. energetic wo-
man could enter now and lead the
race with one days conscientious
work. The whole Of the contest
territory is absolutely untouched
and there are hundreds of people
who are only waiting to be asked
to give their subscriptions, and
when you get one person to sub
scribe, you Immediately get that
person interested in the contest,
and before you know it, you will
have all of your friends at work
for you and looking after your in
terests.
Getting Down to Business.
Things are settling down to
more business-like basis in the city
contest and the contestants are
just beginning to show what they
can do. The contestant that shows
her friends how anxious she is to
win, will Immediately get their
support, while her display Of en-.
ergy will tend to discourage the
slow timid opac u-bo ,,yI1 5,a,, $50
thereby leaving the field to the
few who really mean business. The
city of Waxahachie has hardly been
touched as far as canvassing for
subscriptions is concerned ano
there should be hundreds of new
subscribers secured inside the cor
porate limits. and the work tina,
has been accomplished, along tina,
line has been of a spasmodic ma
ture.
Let us say again that the time
is short, and we are going to Gu
down the list Of contestants tina
are not working, so that those wht
are trying will be given the fielt
to themselves.
Widespread Interest
The magnitude of the contest
and the extreme beauty and value
OF the premiums, together with
their desirability. makes this con-
test enc of immense Importance
and great interest is being taken
in it throughout the surrounding
territory and the extent of the ter
ritory covered by this paper, even
;,1t. g. ,rt0
as That the friends of the earn
est young women would come to
their as14 nee when they realized
that these young women were in
dead earnest was the statement
made by us, and this statement
will be borne out by the number
of letters that will be received by
the contestants, inquiring for and
containing votes for various cand-
idates. These letters will also testify
to the interest that the contest
has aroused and we feel safe
in predicting that before it draws
to close practically every person
liz Central Texas will be interest
ed to some extent in some one
of the candidates. Assurance OF
this is made certain by the ever
increasing enthusiasm shown by
candidates and their friends ano
the fact that not day passes but
numbers of people, heretofore I'M
interested in the contest, visit the
contest office or communicate with
us in regard to assisting some cand-
idate. This shows that the tlood-
tide of interest is gradually rising
higher and will soon sweep all
else before it in the peoples
minds.
Don't Let This Happen to You.
Many a young woman will be
saying, in the course of a few
