running neck and neck. both Ill the city and the country. Several wagers are being made as to who would wir tie first grand prize, also whether the ely or the outside di tricts Wou Id pcll the heaviest vote. At this time it is ar' even bet.
 There are sCme noticeable changes in the standing of the candidates this morning and as usual the contestants from the outside districts are little in the lead But this does not prove that they will be 90 at the final close, a. some of the contestants in the city are holding reserve like their country sisters. although they seem inclined to keep ill the dark as when their friends seem to demand it.
 Your time is growing very short ill which to win an automobile, a piano, or one of the other valuable awards 1 There only remains eighteen more days for you to secure the vote that will place your name at the head of the l.: t or on the honor roll when the votes are counted for the last time by l the committee of judges on April 3th.
 Remember that in this contest the country contestants are going to have l exactly the same time for securing subscriptions as the city contestants, as the contest will close in the out idle districts as it does in the city md all contestants will have until the closing hour in which tc secure sub
 criptions. Those in the outside dis ricts will have until 10 o'clock. Apr.l ith, in order te work and their sub ecriptions ard votes must be at the Graphic office not later than p. m., of April 5th to be counted in this con- test
 Were you at the contest office yes 5erday afternoon or last night?
 If not you should have been. Turn ing ill your subscriptions secured dur ing ore of best working weeks of the contest
 The contest department was kept busy all day yesterday and last night receiving subscriptions from the city contestants and their friends and ev cry mail coming in bore evidence of the fact that the country contestants were taking advantage of the week in | way that meant thousands of votes to their reserve.
 Mis-; Dahlia Galloway, of Milliyille, was a visitor in this city yesterday 2nd called on the Contest Department while here Mss Galloway after seeing the automobiles in front of the Graph is office went away enthused with the e1eterminatien that she must be win 4er at the final close of one of the mach'1es.
 Another visitor from the outside district eysterday was Miss Lula Nit chell, popular young lady from Sherrll. Mics Mitchell has been ill len city for the past two days secur- ing votes and subscriptions from thir EumeIo ous friends here.
 This gees to show that candidates from the outside di:tricts can always find subscriptions, ever if it is in a crowded city.
 Last week was the hardest of the whole contest for the contestants. But don't worry g'"ls, there is better weather due us and t is forecasted that the last few days Of the contest will be good vote getting weather. Did it rain the past week? Ycu would net have thought so if you had seen the way the subscriptions came into the Contest Department yester- day afternoon and last night and will continue to come through the mail all Cay today
 Who sad that there wa: no chance fer an outside contestant to win the best automobile in the contest? Cast your eye over the standing and see where the leader is.
 Several Questions were asked yese terday as to who the young lady was looking for yesterday afternoon as she walked up and down Main street going in and out cf stores and always seemed to have an obejct in view. Evidently these people dc not know l that there are automobiles to be awarded by the Daily Graphic and that t.hs party is out to win one of them and is using the determination and 7nergy that wins automobiles or any thing else that she sets her mind on.
 Now is the time for you to keep add ] ing to your already large reserve.
