Only three weeks more until the flrst •series of prizes in The Call's gold con test will be awarded. Three weeks more of * trenuous endeavor for those who would win the big purses of gold which will be given away by The Call at the end of that period. The holiday week is not a good one for the business ot the contestants, but Christmas and its attendant festivities will soon be r nver, and then will come the tug of | war. A subscription to "*he Daily Call will make en acceptable Christmas present for any one who has use for a first class newspaper and none but the best. Any one subscribing now for the pur pose of making a present of the paper to a friend can also help to make a merry Christmas for some contestant for the gold prizes by casting the votes allowed on the subscription in favor of some one wfco needs the money and is striving to win it. Subscribe today so as to have the votes counted "in the score on Christmas morning. New Year's day, which is now so near, is a good time to begin a year's subscription to The Call. Every con testant should manage to have a large number of orders to begin the new year with. Many have . promises of sub scriptions t© be paid on or about that date, and it is then that the figures > in the score Trill begin .to expand at. a rapid rate. Sacred Heart College continues to have things pretty much its own way for first place in the race, but Mrs. Deasy of Napa is not so far behind but that she may. head the list again any day in the \u25a0week. She Is goSnj? to make w the college work for .the $500 prize. * even if she will have to be content with "M3OO as her reward -for the first period of the race. - / Don Campbell, the Shasta County wonder, has been heard from again, with an addition of €200 votes -to, his score, intrenching him more. firmly than ever in third place, \u25a0which will entitle" him to a reward of J2OO if he succeeds In holding the position until the night of January 12. Campbell's most dangerous rival at the present time is Reuben Bebergallof 2685 Bryant street, who is making a brave effort to be No. 3, or better, in the line-up before New Year's- day. Bebergall is a hustler and will let no grass grow under his feet between now and January 12. , Miss Emllle Hayw»>d of Martinez is In imminent peril «;/ losing fifth place to Mrs. May Isz£,iroy, who has the promise of some powerful support dur ing, the holiday week. All of the "high five" will ba\ T e to look well after their honors: the com ing week, as come recently recruited candidates are going to advance toward the heM of the procession with giant stride^ All should remember that three weeks, with several holidays in cluded. Is a very short time in which to win such large stakes. It is best to make hay while the sun shines, holi days or no holidays, so all would bet ter get busy without delay.
