The Elmira Telegram on Sunday
said: 1.-THE Tribune has another edu-
cational contest on, in which scholar
ships valued at $500 will be distri-
buted among deserving young men and
women. This is the third contest of
the kind the Tribune has inaugurated.
The two former We're carried to a
successful finish. These contests have
aided many young men and women,
and given them an opportunity that
otherwise they would never have
reached. The Tribune is a progressive
newspaper and does a great deal of
good in this valley"
