News Popular Voting contest, has
arrived and may now be seen at
The News office. 1t is indeed a
beauty and one of which the sue

proud. Who will get this prize?
That is the question which can
not be answered until after the
count on Wednesday, March 4th,

Less than two weeks remain in
which to win the prize. Now is
the time for steady, determined
effort. The contestants are work

count in bringing up the total
votes. When a contestant shows
her friends how quickly subscrip-
tions will aid her in raising her
total number Of votes, everyone
will be anxious to help. While it
is true that most of the old sub
scribers have already renewed,
there are yet a number who have
not. And there are yet a large
number who have not subscribed,
and who should be seen az once,
so that their subscriptions may
be secured before the close of the
campaign.
On Monday, February %, the
ballot box will be placed in the
bank, and votes must be deposited
there after that date. The ballot
box will be closed on Wednesday,
March 4th, at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon, when the bank closes
