and Will enable every person who enters
the contest TO make estimates of varying
kinds-high. low and intermediate.
The contest is confined exclusively TO Re-
| public subscribers. but II Is open TO new
subscribers as well as old. Those who are
/ not new subscribers can qualify by sending
in their subscriptions. All who make es-
Inmates are required to accompany their
estimates with a cash remittance. paying
fnr The Republic for a term Of not less
than twelve months. No estimates will be
received without the cash remittance pay
ing for a year. 1t is prit-sharing contest
and the profit TO be distributed Grows out of
the saving In the expense OF collecting dues.
The cash payment without collection ex-
pense leaves a margin Of profit In which the
subscribers who create the saving are per-
niitted TO share.
No past payments will be counted. Only
payments to meet uncollected dues will
qualify the subscriber TO file estimates This
payment must In every case cover a full
period OF twelve months. The st. Louis
subscriber. who has a contract requiring TIE
payment OF IS cents. or 60 cents. or % cents
a month. must pay at his contract price for
all months within his contract period for
which he makes payment II the unpaid
term OF the contract Is for a shorter period
than twelve months. the contract subscriber
must add enough months to make his pay
ment cover one full year The subscriber
outside OF st. Louis must pay 50 cents per
month because OF the added cost OF postage
and the higher cost for delivery In country
towns
Old subscribers. who now have subscrip-
ton contracts. are given one advantage
over the new subscriber. BY paying cash
in advance for a new year TO begin at the
expiration of the present contract and at
the same time paying Up all the INSTALL
ments now due on an existing contract, they
can obtain the right TO file six estimates on
account OF the new subscription and one sd- |
ditional for each month paid for under the |
old contract. For example. an old sub |
scriber having an existing contract with |
six months to run can make Elk estimates |
by paying for those six months and SIX |
more by paying for a new year.

United States did not honor Chicago on the
occasion OF the Columbian dedication. VIII
the presence of President Roosevelt at the
st Louis dedication cause a larger crowd to
attend? Will the transportation facilities
be sufficient to take care OF a larger crowd?
These are some OF the questions TO be
answered.
The wise ones VIII not ignore the fact
that the fireworks display on the evening
Of April 80 Will attract many thousands Of
visitors, but the interesting question is
How many people will go out in the day
time and not go home until the fireworks
show comes on7 How many will go home
before dark and not come back? How many
will go home and then return for the night
show? 1t Is not 70 be expected that any
one can weigh all these considerations so
accurately as to estimate the exact num-
Der Of admissions. The rewards announced
are not founded on that assumption They
are offered to those whose estimates come
nearest the official figures.
The rewards to be distributed are suf-
ficiently tempting TO arouse active and
widespread contest. The person making the
nearest correct estimate will get $500: the
next nearest will get $500 and the third
nearest will earn S.oo. Then there are
