THE VOTING CONTESTS.

The REVIEW has made arrangements
by which it offers it's readers an oppor-
tunity to vote for their favorites among
the young ladies of the county. We
know there are many, bright, intelli-
gent girls who would like to obtain an
education but the cost stands in the
way. There are others to whom the
community would gladly testify their
appreciation fer their helpfulness.
There are the teachers in cur public
and Sabbath schools, the organists, the
singers, who gladly lend their talents
upon different occasions. the obliging
accommodating clerks, the girls upon
the farm who do their work so faith
fully, the girls who are employed in
household duties-none are barred from
he contests, and they will surely aI-
preciate your votes whether they gain
the prizes or not. Show your esteem
by voting for some such young lady in
your neighborhood, ask your friends to
vote for them. 1t may be the turning
point in their lives which will lead to
nobler and better womanhood. If your
neighbor does not take the REVIEW get
him to try it until November lst. You
will be doing him a kindness by intro
ducing the REVIEW into his home and
he can help the young lady of his choice
by voting his coupons. Send in your
votes early so as to encourage the con-
testants. Write letter to the REVIEW
placing some deservingly popular girl
in nomination and thus call the atten-
tion of her other friends that they may
work with you. This is also splendid
opportunity for an energetic young
lady by seeing her friends and securing
their votes to get six months schooling
free of charge. The men are just now
hustling about the county soliciting
nominations and the REVIEW proposes
to give the girls a chance. The
prizes will be awarded at the coun-
ty fair and we hope you will all be
there. Ii you come the fair will be
success. Let us hear from you.
