Miss Bessie Earth's friends are evidently working hard for they pushed her to the top of the list with a total of 26.0S5 votes and in addition she wins the Solid Gold La Yalliere offered by John Jones to the girl casting the most votes during the .week, her total for the week be ing 18.435.

Mabel Trenkenschuh Belle Ziffern Catherine Stevenson Helen Mielke Margaret McNellia Sadie Moss Maude Gruby Wilma Bohman Selma Pomrank Maude McDonald ... Emma Schneider .... been down in the race thus far, came to the front this week with 10,000 and will undoubtedly be heard from before the contest is over. Miss Katherine Brabander, who has led the list thus far, is evidently resting for the finish, although the good work of friends brought her to tal up to 12,620. Elsie Hill, Leone Donovan, Irma Louchs, Gertrude Lewis, Florence Bleuer, Martha Selis, Mabel Trenkenschuh, Cora Leidtke and Mamie Christy made decided gains and the contest bids fair to develop into a friendly battle before it closes. To The Contestants The work of counting the votes each week is becom ing quite a task for the committee, and President A. J. Riess of the 1600 Block Association wishes to announce that if contestants will turn in their votes of smaller de nominations to him he will gladly exchange them for ones of larger value, for instance if you have 100 5 cent votes he will exchange them for one good for $5, etc., and it will also save writing the contestant's name and address so many times, besides facilitating the matter of counting the votes each week.
