The largest vote cast by any one con?
testant was over 800,000, that voted by
Master Carl Battlge, of District No. 1
the winner of the pony outfit In the city
districts. Master J. W. Hall, Jr.. of
District No. 1. cast the next largest
votes, being: a little over 100,000 behind
first place.
An exceedingly close race was on
In the fifth District. A dozen or mors
contestants fought nip and tuck right
up to the end, and when the last bsl
lot was in there was still on great dif?
ference In the standing. The wlnnar
of the pony outfit In the Kifth District
was but SO,000 votes ahead of the win.
ner of the third district prize in th*
sanae district, and the winners of the
other district prizes In that district
were between these two. varying but
a few thousand votes.
The heaviest voting of the entire
contest was done yesterday morning,
and the contestants were still deposit?
ing ballots when the clock struck 12.
One contestant came back for thu sec?
ond or third time during the morning.'
and on the last trip was Just a halt
minute too late, and. of course, lost
several thousand votes by not being
on time. This, however, would not
have changed the final result had It
arrived on time, as the successful con?
testant was slreudy victorious.
The count was not completed until
nearly midnight last night, and conse?
quently many telephone calls could not
be answered. In as many Instances as
possible the prize winners were ad?
vised of their success, and the others
had to wait until they could see this
morning's paper before knowing the
result.
Those w-ho are fortunate enough to
be among the prize winners are to be
congratulated. It has been a hard
fought battle, and the victorious ones
! have worked unceasingly. The prizes
j are ready to be given out. and with
: them go the best wishes of The Tlmes

most excellent work done by all the
contestants. We are only sorry that
all could not be prize winners.

very detail from the first to the last
day has been looked sfter with the
greatest care. Not a dollar was ac?
cepted save what was accompanied by
a legitimate subscription, and those
who are the prize winners lead ^thei
list because they have turned In morej
subscriptions than tho others.
It goes without saying that no one;
had the slightest Idea that the vote
would go as high as it did. Many ot
the contestants were quietly working
away, not saying much, hut making |
every day count and holding their re-|
suit to the- finish. Day after day con?

confldent, and if some have been they

Mr. Light said yesterday:
"The American Association for High?
way Improvement will hold Us first
road congress In Richmond, November
20-23, at which time most of the lead?
ing highway builders of the country
will be prcsont to discuss the prob?
lems of construction and maintenance.
It may be well to state here, as a mat?
ter of general information, that one
of the principal things desired by those
responsible for the forming of the
American Association for Highway IM-1
provement was the holding of road
congresses thut would bo helpful, In?
structive and Intensely practical, rather
than the reiteration of a lot of shop?
worn road platitudes and the passing
of a number of impossible resolutions.
"The object of the association is to
slant for and ndvocate only those
things that have to do with the prac?
tical solution of the highway prob-j
lems of the country.
PtirpoHCH of Organization.
"The necessity for such an prganlza
tlon was very apparent to those who!
were and are acquainted with road'
conditions and problems. Its purposes)
are. briefly, to correlate and harmonize
the efforts of all existing organizations;
working for rood Improvement and toj
nrouse and stimulate sentiment look?
ing toward the same; to strive for wise, i
equitable and uniform road legislation |
In every State, as well as aiding Inj
bringing about efficient road admlnls- i
tration In the States and their sub- j
divisions, Involving the Introduction or
skilled supervision and the elimination!
of politics from the irvv.s.^einent of
the public roads.
"The association nlso urges the con-i
tlnuoua and systematic maintenance oi j
all roads, the classification of all roads!
according to traffic requirements, pay-1
ment of road taxes In rash, and the!
adoption of the principle of State aid!
and State supervision, as well ns the I
correlating of a)i road construction.!
so that the Important roads of end I
county shnll connect with thoso o? r**
adjoining counties, and the Importfjit j
roads of each State shall connect with
those of adjoining States.
"This Is the creed of the associa?
tion, and those conversant with high?
way conditions, will call It orthodox In
each particular.

I am very well and enjoy good health.
I praise Cardui for these good result!;.
I recommend the medicine to my friends

can truthfully say that Cardui is the best
medicine I have ever taken."
