Miss Emma!
Leads in the Vote For the Week.
ONLY FOUR DAYS MORE.
BALLOTS ARE POURING IN BY THE HUNDRED EVERY DAY.
Vote For Your Favorite.
When it rains it pours. When the boys vote the ballots roll in. The week just closed has been one of the greatest in the history of the Contest. Ballots have been coming by the hundreds through the mails and by individuals and the nearer the end the faster they come in. The present outlook indicates an enormous vote between this and the close Tuesday night. Up to Wednesday night Miss Emma Davault takes the lead by a small vote, while Miss Bunnie Benson is an extremly close second, with Miss Minnie Bast in third place. Miss Murtle Wright receives a handsome vote and passes Miss Jennie Baker, while Miss Hattie McCuin is within a few votes of taking fifth place from Miss Baker. The vote has been materially increased along the line and some wonderful changes can be made before the polls close next Tuesday night. The closing part of the contest is proving so great that we ask all parties voting to label their packages with the number of votes so the counting may be expedited. As Judges for counting the ballots, Messrs Louis Phillips, S P Stewart and J C Dickison have agreed to act. These gentlemen will, we think, give satisfaction as they are in no wise interested, and neither have cast a ballot. They will take the ballots in charge and announce the official vote as soon after the polls close as possible. Voters and friends of the young ladies must positively remember that the polls close Tuesday night at 9 o'clock, by our office clock. We give the list of contestants in full and next week will give the official votes.

RESIDENCE IN BAYARD
Emma's homestead in Nebraska was four mile from her parent's place and was called "Verdant Valley View." After selling her homestead she moved into town. In 1915 Emma married Charles Harpole, owner of Harpole's Hardware. Charles and Emma owned a beautiful home in Bayard. At one time the address was 740 Canton St. The house was located at the corner of Canton St. and Wisner Ave. Bayard has changed their street names and the address is now 138 7th St. (the corner of 1st Ave. and 7th St.). Emma moved to Scottsbluff in 1942.

BAYARD PIONEER PASSED
Final rites for a pioneer Bayard woman, Mrs. Emma Harpole, were held Thursday from the Benson Funeral Home in Scottsbluff, with the Rev. Richard Carlyon officiating. Interment followed in the Bayard cemetery. Pallbearer were R. C. Bassett, C. E. Moberg, John Hunt, John Ducker, Merle Hughes and Fred Wolff. The following obituary was prepared by Mrs. R. C. Bassett, at the request of Mrs. Harpole prior to her death: Emma Isabelle DeVault, daughter of Henry and Caroline DeVault was born in New Florence, Missouri, May 20, 1874. In 1901 with her parents she moved to Nebraska, locating at Bayard. On March 17, 1915 she was united in marriage to Charles H. Harpole, also a pioneer of Bayard, where he was engaged in the merchatile business. They were the parents on one son, George. Mr. Harpole died December 11, 1941, and in 1943 Mrs. Harpole and George moved to Scottsbluff, where she was supervisor of the sewing and housekeeping department of the West Nebraska Hospital for 2 1/2 years, when she was forced to retire because of ill health. In early childhood the subject of this sketch united with the Methodist Church, of which she remained a loyal and devout member until her death. Some years ago she was the recipient of the honorary 50-year Membership Pin which the church presents to those who have maintained membership fifty or more years. During the active period of her life Mrs. Harpole served her church faithfully and efficiently as President of the Epworth League, Superintendent of the Primary Department of the Sunday School, President of the Ladies Aid Society, and ever responded to the call of duty for her church and her community. She was also active in the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society and the Woman'sClub. When death came she was a member of the First Methodist Church in Scottsbluff, and as long as her health permitted, she was a faithful attendant at its services and also of the Woman's Societry of Christian Service. Mrs Harpole was a devoted homemaker, a loving wife and mother, a loyal friend and a dedicated Christian. Survivors include her only son, George, two grandchildren, George Jr. and Susan of Minatare; three nieces, Miss Dorothy DeVault of Scottsbluff, Mrs, C. E. Moberg of Bayard and Mrs. K. C. Tishoff of Denver two nephews, Lynn DeVault of Livingston Montana and French DeVault of Connecticut. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
