of the chute all the time.
The exhibits this year were excep-
tionally good and Carbon county took
second place with her large display
of the resources. The display was
twice as large as the one from Gal

representative, but the judges we're

Ed Massa of Red Lodge had fifth
place in the count on Wednesday
night but her 10000 votes are not be-
ing counted as she withdrew from the
contest.
Miss Smith leads the contest again
this week and her strength is in re-
Spouse to subscription campaign she
has been making, as the greater num-
Der of votes can be accumulated
through getting new subscribers to
the News. We again make the offer
of thousand extra votes on each
renewal of an old subscriber in lots
OF 10 or more. This makes the re-
neWals count the same as new SUBJ
scrlptlons and it is an inducement that
should appeal to the contestants.
There are only few days more for
gathering in the lucky votes. and
those who have been supporting the
different candidates have real op-
portunity now to get in and boost their
favorlte, for the winner will surely
be happy young lady. The winner
will be in a whirl of entertainment
during the week of September "a to
28 at the State Fair. It is worth the
very best efforts of every contestant
to do her best and to secure the most
votes.
Many of The News subscribers
have renewed their subscriptions to
enable their favorite candidate to add
votes to her list. A goodly number of
new subscriptions have been taken,
and there is opportunity to secure
more, and as the amount paid to the
for each subscription is a
big count, it helps her materially.
At this time we ask the young la
dies who intend to stay in the finals,
to arrange to have two pictures of
herself ready for us to send to Helena
on the Thursday noon train. The win
ner must have these pictures, as it is
one of the stipulations of the contest
and it will be well for any of the con-
testants to be prepared.
The contest has been exceptionally
keen this year and this is doubtless
1ue to the fact that it has been of
short duration. At this time we wish
% take the opportunity of thanking
he contestants, their friends and the
Judges for their response to the con-
est.
