good luck as far as the forks of Elk

February Contest.

Interest is growing to such an ex-
tent and the number of letters re-
celved are increasing so steadily that
it is plainly evident that the boys and
girls are just waking up and getting
ready to tell what they know about
advertisers 1t is probable that the
letters will keep coming right along
after today, when the January con-
test closes, therefore the Signal has
concluded that it will be necessary to
continue the contest through Febru-
airy, or repeat it rather, in order to
give all show, and not shut out anv
of the juvenile readers of the paper,
The judges will meet Monday and
decide which letters win the $3.50
prizes for January and the result
will be announced in Wednesday is
sue The winners of the January
and Santa Claus prizes, while they
may write for publication and re-
celve present, will not have their
letters entered for the February cash
prizes, so that if any who have
tried for the January prize desire to
try again they will not have the pre-
Vlous winners to contend with. and
this Will assure the February prizes
gong to other boys or girls besides
those that have already won. The

and girls all over the county are
striving hard for the prizes on
