WHO WOULD YOU
HAVEWIN PRIZE?
Now is the Time To Bring Oul
Your Choice for Queen of
the Fair Carnival.


The contest for Queen of the
Carnival at the coming Street Fair
promises to be a very interesting
event. The prospective contest has
created great deal of interest,
but not much voting has been done
as yet, as no names of candidates
have been published. It is expect
ed now, however, that anyone
who has some favorite whom he
would like to see receive the fine
present to be given to the lucky
young lady by the Fair Association,
will come forward and nominate
their candidate. All that is neces-
sary is to get an official ballot,
write the name of the favorite and
drop into the ballot box, which
can be found at Carlson Bros. &
Frost's drug store. To the lady
who secures the largest number of
votes the Fair Association will give
a diamond ring; to the young lady
having the second largest number
of votes will be given fine gold
watch. For every vote cast one
penny must be contributed to the
Street Fair fund. The ballots are
printed in denominations Of five,
ten, twenty-five, fifty and one hum
dred votes, and may be purchased
at the polling place, and arrange
ments may be made later to place
them on sale at other places. The
contest is not limited to young la
dies Of Willmar, but includes young
ladies of the whole county. Any,
one wishing to do so. can nominate
any young lady by securing a BAL
lot, writing her name upon the
same and dropping it into the bal
lot box. 1t will not be necessary
to do the voting at the time OF the
purchasing Of the ballot. The Fair
Association sells the blank ballots
and they may be voted at any time
until the close of the contest. At
the first opening of the ballot box
last Saturday $50 votes had been
cast in favor of the following young
ladies': Flo Julien, $50; Jessie
Williams, Is; Marion Minton, 125;
Amanda Larson, 35; Luella Peter
son, IS. The counting of the bal
lots Tuesday morning found the
following list:
Flo Julien, 155
Jessie Williams, 100
Marion Minton, 1856
Amanda Larson, 24O
Luella Peterson, 65
Daisy Sanderson, 100
