Interest in The Herald's great voting contest is increasing and beginning to attract a good deal of attention. The number of votes cast during the week end ing April 0, was 8,040, a larger number than were cast the first month. For a few weeks after the contest began less than half ; of the persons paying on sub scription voted. This week we add to our list of prizes a $05 sewing machine, fully guaranteed for five years. Full particulars next week. There will be about twenty prizes to be awarded at the close of the contest, if there are that many contestants. We have only ten on the list now. There should be at least twice that many. Miss Ella Moravek of Canton, the popular young lady who is the west side candidate, contin ues in the lead with 11,775 votes. She won the first of the special prizes, a ten dollar due bill, for reaching the 8,000 mark first. She selected the store of B. E. Johnson, Hemingford. Miss Attie Snow, who has formed a large circle of acquaints ances through her work as money order clerk at the Alii-! ance postoffice, is a close second to Miss Moravek, her total vote up to last evening being 11,000., one won mo seconu special prize of a ten dollar due bill lor reach ine 10.000 first (the candidate reaching 8,000 first being bai'red), anu heiecteci tne iiorace uogue store. Miss Nell Acheson, third in the contest with 10,250, has not done much, if anything, in the interests of her candidacy, but she has a large number of friends who are determined to look after her interests. Miss Gladys Boon is fourth in the race with an even 9,000 votes to her credit. Although resid ing in Alliance she is West known in the Bonner neighborhood and is receiving practically the en tire vote of that vicinity. The fifth contestant is Miss Jessie Geiger. She occupies a position in the central telephone office at Hemingford. She start ed well in the contest, but since the fire at Hemingford, which burned the telephone office, she has been at a disadvantage and has fallen back several places. Miss Alma Rosenberger, sixth, and Miss Anna Dainton, seventh, are highly respected farmers' daughters, and probably have not as large a circle of acquaint ances as home of the candidates living in town; but if they and their friends will get busy they will stand a. good show of secur ing a couple of fine prizes, with a possibility of one them getting the first prize. The other candidates, Miss Theresa Morgan, Mrs. Mary A. Morrow and Mrs. Emma O'Ban non, have made no additions to their votes during the past week. We are sure that if they and their friends will make the prop er effort they can soon be near the head of the list.

This is open to all candidates, and will have nothing to do with the final award of prizes. A new sub scriber is one whose name was not ou the subscription books April 1, but whose subscription is received at this office some time during the month. NEXT WEEK ANNOUNCEMENT Next week we will make an announcement o f additional prizes that will make the contest boom till its close next summer. Look for it.
