PARENTS HASTEN TO ENTER
BABIES IN SHOWER OF GOLD
r
$2,330.00 In Gold As Frizes Produces Unbounded Enthusiasm
Amonq Many Prominent Families Nominations From
Outside Territory Received—Honor of Having a Baby
Elected Most Prominent Attracts Attention —Race Open
to All Babies Eight Years of Age and Under —Now is the
Time to Nominate a Favorite.
It lias beer, said that, this grand
Shower of Gold, just opened by The
Augusta Heiald is going to be the
biggest newsi aper enterprise ever at
tempted in this section of the state,
and this statement still holds, and
will continue to hold to the end. The
merest is going to be more wide
spread than anything heretofore at
tepmted. The enthusiasm which it
has already aroused would make a
political rally look like a staid old
meeting of the house of lords. This
enthusiasm is going to continue with
out flagging through the ensuing six
weeks, lor in the end some sweet lit
tle tot is going to be declared the
most popular baby in Augusta and vi
cinity, and the honor is one for which
every parent is going to strive for
most earnestly.
it will always be possible to nomi
nate a baby, but it is a very distinct
advantage to a baby to have its name
appear at the very outset, and, be
sides there is that bonus of 5,000
votes which is to be given to each
baby nominated now. Don’t delay in
this matter. Send your favorite name
now and then get out among your
friends, relatives, neighbors and ac
quaintances, and ask them to save
their coupons foi you. Remember
that the coupons of the present series
are worth fifty votes, and that the
work done now may win for you in
the end.
This is anybody’s race, to make a
pin, bold statement of facts; but it’s
going to be a marathon of votes, not
miles, if you win at the end and your
little sweetheart is crowned the most
popular baby in Augusta and vicinity,
you are going to be the i mildest par
ent in all this great land and the
envied of all the others.
Many a race has been lost because
one did not get a good start. Do not
let this be said in your case. Call up
your relatives, friends and acquaint
ances at once and tell them to save
their votes. A baby can have as
many workers as they care to —there
is no limit to the number of babies
nominated.
Bear in mind that $500.00 placed at
interest for twenty years will just
about double itself at 4 per cent in
terest.
At about the afe og 20 your little
baby will be about ready to succumb

to the darts of that dearlittl e invisi

prowling about seeking a susceptible

man or woman is good enough for our
little “Dimple Darling,’’ but we do not
regulate the movements or disposition
of the above little troublemaker
whom we would like to capture as a
contestant. If we can not have him,
let us have yours, who is. we are sure,
just as winsome and popular.
They’re olf. The big contest has
begun and the announcement has
beer, met with the anticipated re
sponse from the leading citizens of
Augusta and all the surrounding ter
ritory.
The Shower of Gold is destined to
produce more enthusiasm and favor

kind ever occurring in this section of
the state.
Gold and Glory Are the Reward.
This pater is not offering cheap
jewelry, dishes or the like, but gold
and glory. In this way you know ex
actly what you are getting, and there
is nothing cheap attached to the of
fer, r.o fictitious value placed on the
prizes offered.
The honor is just as great the
gold, and every parent should take a
personal pride in seeing their “tot”
nominated. You cannot afford to sit
idly by and see your neighbor get tne
honor and glory which, in the eyes
of many, could not have been won by
her had you entered the race and
notified your friends to this effect.
In view of this fact, it behooves you
to call at The Herald office and see
one of the contest managers and talk
the matter over, use your phone and
they will be glad to see you at your
home.
The baby contest does not closo
June 2dth but the coupons in the pa
per are good until that time. An
other coupon will be published in a
few days, good for twenty-five votes.
To the mothers and friends of ba
bies living outside of Augusta we
want to say that you have the grand
est opportunity ever afforded a baby
to win. as there are plenty of prizes.
The babies out of town have identi
callv the same opportunities as those
in the city.
dents are made, and who knows but
that some day Augusta may have the
pleasure of seeing him the country's
chief executive. He has an exception
ally wide circle of friends and admir
ers who hope to see him a winner in
this great race for fame and fortune
and we predict that he will prove an
important factor ere it is run.

YOUNG BELMONT
LOST THE SUIT
Wife Wins in Her Separation
Proceedings. Gets SIOO a
Month Alimony.
New York.— Ethel Domain Belmont
today won her separation suit against
Raymond Belmont, son of the finan
cier, August Belmont. One hundred
dollars a month alimony was allowed.
Belmont is abroad. His wife for
merly passed as an actress, but she
never had been on the stage.
In fixing the amount of the alimony,
Justice Oreenbaum alluded to testi
mony to the effect that August Bel
mont cut off his son’s allowance of
$3,000 a year on learning of the mar
riage and that Raymond Belmont
left his father's employ giving up a
salary of S9OO a year.
When Raymond Belmont became of
age in 1910, according to the opinion,
he had a fortune of $143,284. In three
years he spent $73,000, "almost con
stantly in the company of the plain
tiff" the opinion finds, besides giving
about $30,000 in cash to the plaintiff."
The fortune has sunk co about $14,300
which brings an income of about $2,000
a year. The alimony is calculated on
that income and an earning capacity
of S9OO a year.

A SURE WAY TO
ENDJANDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp—At Once.
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and '
that is to dissolve It, then you destroy It
entirely. Jo do this, just get about four
ounces of pluln, common liquid arvon
from any drug store (this is all you
need) apply it at night when retiring;
use enough to moisten the sculp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all of your 1
dandruff will be gone, and three or four i
more applications will completely dis
solve, and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of It, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging |
of the scalp will stop Instantly and your !
hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hundred ,
times better.
If you value your hair, you should get
rid of dandrulf at once, for nothing de
stroys the hair so quickly. It not only I
Btarves the hair and makes It fall out, !
but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull,
dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody
notices It.

Announcement
I be# to announce to
my friends and the pub
lic generally that X am
now engaged in the
Real Estate business.
My office will be 511
Iveonard Building until
the completion of The
Chronicle building,
when I will have offices
in Augusta’s first sky
scraper.
In making this an
nouncement I wish to
state that I have here
tofore had experience
in the Real Estate busi
ness, and any property
placed in my hands will
have the very best at
tention. I was a Real
Estate man before I
was a newspaperman,
and now I am returning
to my original work.
I appreciate the fact
that to sell Real Estate
there will have to be
ample and effeetive ad
vertising. That’s what
I am going to do—and
you will read them.
Others will, too. So
when you plaee your
property with mo you
will know that it will
he well advertised.
And the advertise
ments will not cost you
anything.
I have Keen induced
to enter the Real Estate
business because I
think there is a bright
future for Augusta real
ty. I have been watch
ing it for several years,
and I am convinced of
the fact that there has
been more activity in
Augusta Real Estate in
the past six months
than previously in two
years. It is going to
continue to be rictive,,
for Augusta’s brightest
prospects are just
ahead of us.
, There is more’ “build
ing” right now in Au
gusta than ever before
—modest homes, hand
some residences, “sky
scrapers.” And this
building boom is not
without reason. Things
are happening in Au
gusta every day that
point to Augusta’s fu
ture prosperity. And
Real Estate is the real
foundation for any
city’s growth. Watch
Augusta grow.
This is merely a gen
eral announcement. I’ll
he more specific here
after. But to sell Real
Estate I must have
Real Estate for sale.
May T have yours ?
I hope so. Anyway,
“ Lot’s talk it over.”
Oneo again—my of
fice is 511 Leonard
Building. Phone 3057.
