The contest is open to
Daily and Weekly subscribers
alike, and the conditions are
easy. 1t matters not whether
you are an old subscriber or
new subscriber; whether you
are a subscriber to the Daily

you are in arrears or have
paid in advance. The simple,
single condition is this:
PAY A DOLLAR AND
GET THE ERALD AND
A GUESS.
If you are already paid in
advance, that dollar will pay
you that much further in ad-
vance, and that gress may
get you the Furniture.
If you are in arrears, that
dollar will pay that much Of
the debt, and the guess may
give you a rich mans couch
to sleep upon.
If You are not a subscriber
it is time you were, and now
is the time to begin.
In the Ph2ton contest the
early guesserS as a rule came
closer to the mark than the
