NEW CONTESTANT HEADS LIST

ACTIVITY ALL ALONG ' THE LINE The race for prizes in The Sun’s Great Popularity Campaign is any- \ body's race. Today the list of stand- j ings is published again, with a new j contestant at the top. Never since ; the beginning of the competition lias j any contestant had a greater advan- , tage over another. The campaign is j just at its opening stages. Every day j new contestants are entering, and ; those at the bottom of the list are | forging to the top. This same even ' competition will maintain to the very I end of the race. No one will have a 1 walk-away. Wild stories are circu- ] lated as to what this contestant or , that contestant is doing, but a glance j

Today we have a new leader in the list in Mrs. P. B. SutclifTe. Mrs. Sutcliffe was one of the new entrants, and has recently started an active campaign. Now, in only a few days’ time, she has reached first place in the list. The above photograph shows Mrs. Sutcliffe and her young daughter, Barbara. She has a host of friends, who are anxious to see her a winner, and she is having a great deal of pleasure piling up a winning score.

at the list tv ill show that all are holding their own. Contestants should let their friends know that they are in tha race, and in to win, and their friends will cordially support them. ’ The 500,000 bonus ballot given for ; ever}- total of £lO turned in by a j contestant is a very great addition I to a contestant's votes at this time. ■ This 500,000 bonus ballot will be sent ! directly to the contestant, to be held j as a secret ballot until the close of ; the campaign on August 2. Many contestants are under the impression ! that they must hold their money back I until they have a total of £lO. This is not so. Turn in the subscription money as fast as it is received, and I whenever our records show that a contestant has a total of £lO, the ; special 500,000 ballot will he issued : and mailed direct to the contestant. This ballot is in addition to the regui lar votes allowed on each subscripi tion.

Everyone seems to like The Sun, and the friendly rivalry among the contestants is enjoyed by all.”
