The vote changes chronicled daily। and the new contestants added to the south’s richest prize contest arc eagerly watched for and commented on by every Light and Gazette reader, and that! comes pretty close to including every I intelligent person in San Antonio. Every day only serves to increase 1 the interest every one is taking in our great prize offer. Already the hand writing is on the wall that there will! be a red hot rivalry of the outside dis- ! triets against San Antonio for the grand prize. The home people have got to do ] some heavy work to win the big prizes . and honors, and it would not be a sur- I prise to see the out of San Antonio I people get an even break on the grand I prizes. It’s a very great mistake to I suppose the Light and Gazette is not ; popular in all the tributary towns or anywhere it is known. Outside people | like up to the minute newspapers as well as home folks. Old fogy-dry-as i dust, the same every day except for a । change of the date line, newspapers no ; longer appeal to them. There is no i trouble getting subscriptions to the I Light and Gazette. Wide awake, hust ; ling San Antonio is demanding a news paper in keeping with the city,'and | the Light and Gazette meets their ap proval from every point of view. It’s the comnig paper of Texas, and its com ing very, very fast. Every person who has the welfare of this great, rich section at heart wants to see the Light and Gazette cover all this great south i west country, and have thousands of new readers. No newspaper ever had . so many boosters and well wishers as ] this one. Miss Vedena Hundley Leads. The lead today switches to District No. 7, and the leading lady is Miss Vedena Hundley of San Marcos, who received 40.000 votes yesterday and jumped to first place. Miss Hundley was nominated from San Antonio and hor nominator must have known her class, for she has made good in a sur prising manner. The contestants in No. 7 have certainly got to go some to keep pace with her. 10,000 for N. O. Windrow.

Miss Josephine Forestello of District! No. 1, instead of No. 4, won the San j Antonio voting honors of Tuesday, and] takes first place over Miss Hilda Lee..

We want real live, bona fide contestants, anil not directory names regardless of whether the people are interested or not. Talk it over with the nominee before send ing in the name. Organization the Order of the Day. The contest has reached a stage where those who expect to win a grand prize plainly seo they have got to rally all their friends and supporters and plan an organization to do busines on a large scale. They fully realize that it is going to take a large vote to win and they are going to get that kind of a vote. People who expect something for nothing or much for little arc going to be badly disappointed after the votes are counted in this large popular con test. Wake up and organize and go at this thing in a business-like manner. You have been given a straight tip and it’s up to you whether you profit by it or not. Get busy. Counties Added to District 7. The counties of Fayette, Colorado. La vaca and DeWitt have been added to District No. 7, thus enlarging the field from which contestants can enter. The Light and Gazette reserves the right to increase the outside district by adding any county or counties adjoining from which contestants wish to enter. CONTEST COMMENT. Watch for early announcement' of place of awarding the White Steamer, our grand special prize. Less than seven weeks to the grand windup and the award of the most se lect and valuable prizes ever offered in a southern contest. The contest is in its infancy and nom inations are just beginning to come in. The more cotestants the easier it will be to win the prize you want. Don’t let the small vote cast to date deter you from getting into the only contest worth while. There have been all kinds of freak contests, but no newspaper has ever before insulted its readers by offering tenant houses in obscure suburbs and lots in truck patches. It’s the laugh of all this section! No wonder. Don’t forget for one moment that every prize offered by the Light and Gazette will be awarded regardless of the vote cast, whether large or small! but don’t you calculate on winning any prize with a small vote or you will be lost in the shuffle. — MARRIAGE LICENSES.
