WOW! LOOK WHO’S HERE!

Now Leader in the Piano Race —lda Hurley of Parr IS IN THE PREMIER POSITION First Time JMaribel Kays Has Not Been Leader—Four Weeks Ago New Leader Was Twen-ty-first. For the first time since the piano contest started Maribel Kays has been headed in the race. Ida Hurley of Parr now occupies the leader’s position and her pres'ent position is but a verification of what The Democrat has said weekly, that “hustling will win.” Four weeks' ago (Aug. 5), the present leader was twenty-first in the race, but by sticking to it, with a determination not to quit, and conscientious hustling has gone into first place. What the present leader has accomplished is possible for any candidate. There is no secret to success—work and determination to win, are essentials, that’s all. It is up to the oandidates individually whether they succeed or not. While everybody is willing to help a hustler, few are going to exert themselves to help a candidate who lacks courage and confidence. If the present leader can jump from twenty-first to lead in four weeks, all the other candidates can do as well by the same amount of endeavor. It is merely a question of how anxious each individual is to win. Half-hearted efforts won’t win in any race, and the winner of this contest is going to have to hustle for the simple reason that all of the candidates are anxious,, to win and will put forth their best efforts, now that they can see what someone else has done. The standing today is:
