 ney of Oatman. Here is busy lit, tie worker who is out with the deter, imitation to put Oatman on the map and if she doesn't succeed in coupling that towns name with first prize il is going to be no fault of hers.
 Florence Parsons, takes her place third from the top just that easy. She hasn't given expression to any aspir- ations yet in the matter of prizes, but still waters run. deep, and it's a ten to one bet that she's not planning to get the fifth one.
 Oatman again presents one ot her candidates, in fourth place, in the per son of Vernice Shaffer. And it will pay you to watch this little lady, for she is sure an active worker, and with a personality that is fast winning her friends and votes. ...
 Gertrude Dickerson is working quietly but very effectively. She isn't saving much, but she wears a quiet smile that would indicate total lack of worry to find herself in fifth place You can never tell about these smiles, folks. They may hide a multitude Of votes.
 Lily Schneider is in sixth place, but that's no sign she is going to stay around that neighborhood. She IS working hard, the kind of work that counts, doing most of her work after school, and everyone is going to know she is in the contest before the finish.
 Although down near the bottom ot .he list, Dora Parks of Blackberry IS one of the most energetic and enthus- iastic of the contestants, and is filled with an optimism and determination that bodes ill for her opponents. She has a hard territory to cover, wlth long: distances to travel, but she makes every solicitation count, and her work is above par.
 We regret that Betty Welsh didn't remember the ballot box, her small increase in votes being due only to the coupons sent in by friends. Next week, however, her friends may look for her to be "up among 'em." She simply forgot that Wednesday was "election day." and didn't drop her vote im.
 For the benefit of the public it may he stated that the above votes may or may not represent the total strength of the candidates. They may vote the entire number of bal lots they have earned, or they may withhold a reserve vote, to be used when they please. That is part or the game-to keep the other fellow guessing.
 Some of the contestants who got 8 late start last week have been putting in busy hours making up for lost time, and are piling up heavy vote. All of the contestants made large gains over last week. Their work shows more thought, also, than dur ing the initial week. The first hlt and miss period has passed, and from now on the contestants will begln to show their business acumen by plan ming their days work ahead and mak- inc hours count to the utmost.
 A little thought will not only save considerable work, but will give the greatest results for the least exertion' To OUR SUBSCRIBERS
