The Herald Auto Contest closed Saturday at 2 o'clock with some
little excitement and anxiety among the candidates and their friends. The j
office was crowded awaiting the fllnal returns hy the Judges. The race
was close right up to the finish and the work accomplished on the last
day was a factor In deciding the winner of some of the prises.
The work accomplished by the various workers Is highly appreciated
and made for The Herald a successful suscription campaign. All the
candidates deserve great credit for the way they stuck to the work con-!
alderlng the weather conditions for the past thirty day*, and the editor
desires to thank each for what they did. We further appreciate the fact
that everything in connection with the contest was handled In a clean,
fair and impartial manner.
