Few people realize the difficulties in
the way of young contestants as re-
motely situated as Miss Steinkamp in
the wilds of FL Dorado County. In or
der to find many people to subscribe for
The Call she has to travel over a great
deal of territory. and that is not very
easy for little girl to do at this sea-
! son of the year. In a recent letter Miss
Steinkamp remarks:
II have canvassed all around here in
bad weather and all kinds of weather.
The creeks were dangerous. but
crossed them"
A girl of such pluck and determine
tion deserves to win, and it is hoped
she may again be among the prize
winners
