The end of the Gazette's European
Tour Contest is drawing near and the
most questions are being asked every
day awho will VIM" Many predict
ions are made about every contestant
entered but all is conjecture so Tar.
Who the winners will be no one will
know until the contest closes and the
judges have given their decision.
Some candidate is going to win in
each district and that will be the
young lady who is willing to work the
hardest and get the most OF her
friends interested and working for her
from now until the contest closes Ap-
.ril Is: The tour is going to be award
ed. Will you make the trip or will
you let another of your friends take
il? You can by putting forth your
best efforts in the next few days, go
On one OF the mostsenjoyable trips Of
:. lifetime. Think Of so many young
ladies all out for pleasant time.
And they surely have it. WILL YOU
BE ONE OF THE PARTY?
Yesterdays balloting brings two
new faces in the roll Of honor in the
first and second districts. These are
Miss T.. Violet Proctor and Miss
Kroes Ficklin.
In spite of the fact that Miss Spot
ford did such heavy voting to reach
the top, she is forced to the second
position by Miss L. Violet Proctor
who sits, in the European tour band
wagon. Every candidate is trying
hard to lead and keep there, but it is
almost impossible for one candidate
to lead all the time.
In the second division Miss Ficklm,
who is noted for record breaking pass
es the 10000 mark, something very
unusual for this stage of the contest.
Miss Irene Pullman is still voting in
the third district and consequently
holds the first place. The third dis
trict candidates arc not very strong
witers but what they lack in voting
isssmade up in hard work: And that's
what counts most in the end.
HeiDing Your FavOrites.
Have you given your subscription
to your favorite candidate? If not,
now is the time when she needs it
most. and at the same time she will
appreciate it at this critical moment
Each candidate should make haa
reserve so strong that she will be sure
that it cannot be beaten. Every con-
testant is making records i'll vote get
ting and you should be doing the same
Rear this in mind until the contest
closes April Is.
The greatest anxiety Is Vis'ole III
oyory district. The contestants are
cndeavorine to find out for certain
~ inst the exact strength Of their op'
moments, but no political boss ever
sbadowed his actions and held under
cover his apparent strength as the Al
exandria Gazette Contestants are no"
doing.
Only ten short days-but what
VOC, amount of work can be done II
that time. Any contestant IN any ol
the three divisions can make the ma
squirt for the goal and win valuable
tour in these ten days. 1t has beer
done by other energetic and never-giy
ing-up young ladies, and what has
been done can be done again.
The leaders today are occupying ;
very unstable position as their oppon
ents are watching their every mov'
and may undermine their position o
advantage at any moment. And thel
there are girls too, who are not de
siroue of obtaining the sweet morse
of honor every day. but are holdin
back their reserve votes for the da
of need, Monday, April Is, when tn
contest closes:
