/. dreds of photographs have been
r received, and they are coming in
j. each day,
!. This effort of The Tribune is
= purely one of local pride. 1t will
/. not begin to receive even
!. small per cent of the money it
+ will expend. 1t does hope to be
!. rewarded through the conscious
!. ness that it made generous eff
: fort to prove that the most beau
4 tlful woman is not the sweet
1. faced Chicago stenographer, but
:. that she is some maiden of the
i. mountain States, and that her
r champion had some time, if not
!. regularly, beer reader Of this
!. newspaper.
i. There is sufficient glory in this
!. for The Tribune.
1. Now, will you help us7 It
/. costs you nothing. At least not
(. more than the price of one or
:. two good photographs, and if
:. you do not feel able to pay the
!. photographer s bill, The Tribune
!. will gladly take care Of that also
+ and without any publicity what
+ ever.
/. Turn to the prizes offered in
+ the announcement in another
!. column. Look them over care
+ fully. Read the terms of the
+ contract, and go straight to a
!. photographer, or make an ap-
:. pointment with him, for sit
+ ting early next week.
