EMPIRE'S PIANO CONTEST IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE Candidates Must ''ut In Their Best Work Fro* Now On If They Exped To Win Some Prize The Grand Piano Contest is grad- ially to a close and Ws only a matter of just a short time until The Empire's Subscription Centest is a thing of the past and the mad scramble for the valuable prizes will be all over. Only a few of the many nominees have realized their op- portunity and fought their campaign to the finish but theirs is not yet the victory. Many a race is lost in the finish and while leaders in, the race seem to have things their own way, the final count will, no doubt, surprise everyone. Not a candidate at the list is so far behind that she :..ould not give the leaders a hustle •for some of the prizes and this is ,probably what some of them are go- ing to do. They have apparently dropped out of the race but also might have allowed their standing in the paper to remain the same for a purpose. The final wftnd-up will see diem throw in votes galore and walk itway with one of the prizes—right iunder the very nose of some young lady who imagined she had the thing won hands down. This has happened in nearly every contest that has ever been pulled off so its best to be prepared before- ' :d fo.r tsurprises of this sort.
