Diamond Contest Notes

DGAllAVA0 SVAkSoA 1NVkSD
Contestants in the big Diamond
contest will please remember that
they are entitled to ten nominal
tions, each counting 1000 votes.
This gives 10000 to start with.
Get 10 different persons to fill out
nomination blanks and send them
to this office. 1t doesn't cost any
thing to fill out these blanks.
Don't overlook those little vote
blanks which appear in every issue
of the paper till the date of expir-
alton named on the blank. They
count up, and anybody can sign
them and name you as the one for
whom the votes are to be counted.
For those desiring to write to
out Of town friends who take the
paper, we have prepared neat lit
tie circular letter, which only needs
to be dated and signed by the con-
testant. We will also supply each
contestant with the names and adj
dresses of out Of town people who
take the paper, so they may write
to those they know for renewals.
If the EXPLANATIONS of delight
made by all the girls who have seen
the diamond ring in Halbkat's
window could be written down it
would fill a good sized volume.
1t certainly is beautiful Diamond,
and the girl who gets it will in
deed be repaid for her trouble and
work.
Remember, if you like, you can
cash in the ring for 500 within
year from the date of the award.
Look for the special voting blanks
which will be issued from time to
time. Take advantage Of every
opportunity to pile up votes.
Be sure to fill out all blanks in
the receipt books properly, because
we depend on blank No 2 for our
records. Be sure to state whether
new or old subscriber.
Don't forget that new subscrip-
tions count just double votes to cid
ones, so that it will pay you to
push new subscribers. Get sample
copies from the office. He's a
pretty poor sort of a citizen who
won't want to take the News, when
he sees what we give him for 81 a
year. To get business you will have
to go right after it, and nail it be-
fore it has a chance to get away.
Like the young man said, when
the young lady refused him for the
'steenth time, "Never take no for
an answer" He got her.
~.
In this contest the right kind of
perseverance will have the Dia-
mond ring to it.
Hop to it, girls, and keep a.
hopping. That's what wins sue
cess.

when found was unconscious from

*"I won't CO." said, my dear, dear

we all three went out and posted the
letter; and then we went home and l
sang them all the funny songs l knew
and then we had dinner; and then /
gave them sixpence to buy sweets, and
went to meet Dick. l really was
afraid to tell him this time, for he
locks down on people who change

wouldn't give him a chance to speak
till had told him ALL

the boys more than the singing, more
than anything-except you!"
Dick didn't say a word for nearly
a minute; and when he did his eyes
were actually blinking.

You like that best of all! YOU
there aren't any words for you,
Molly!'
"Oh, Dick!" l said. I'm not good !;
but l try to belts right not to go,
isn't it?'
Its right for you," he said, but it
isn't right for your father to accept
the sacrifice. So he won't"
He won't make me leave him, when
l don't want to,"sI declared. That
isn't right, either 1t seems he'll have
to do wrong, anyhow. Poor father!
He'll be so upset about it,"
But he wasn't. He just put down
his pipe, and smiled and stroked my
hair.

said. I'VE must come with you. The
world cannot afford to lose it's sweet
est of singers, and-your mothers
daughter!"
We held hands for long time and
didn't speak. There are some things
that words only spoil. Then he went
over to the piano and sat down and
began to play. 1t was the one song
of mothers that he had never asked
me to sing before. l sang it very
softly. with my hand on his shoulder,
like mother used to; and when we had
finished he shut up the piano.
Il have lost, and found" he said,
little daughter"
He meant that he had found a little
of mother in me. l shall always re-
member that. and try to be better.

the fact that it was very busy time

to the season of the year, yet there
was a goodly number of farmers on
hand and the stuff that was offered
for sale all found buyers. Many are
holding their stock and produce for
the September Market Day. Tht
farmers wives and daughters came
along in large numbers and improved
the opportunity for shopping. Con-
sequently the merchants did a goot
business.
The sports for the boys and young
men attracted considerable attention
and furnished much amusement fol
the crowd. VIM. Peglow was in
charge and handled the events in a
successful manner, as he always does
when looking after affairs of that
kind
The first was an egg race, which
was run on Main street from the
corner of Fourth. This was won by
Willie Lenz with Clarence Cleveland
The prizes were so cts and 25 cts
respectively in cash.
The foot race around the block
bounded by Fourth, Main, Oak and
Third streets, was exciting. There
were ten entries. G. Anderson won
with Robert Elliott second and John
Wolfe, third. The prizes were $1.25
$1.OO and so cts. respectively.
The last event consisted of half a
dozen base balls given to the boys
who picked them up after they were
thrown on Third street. This was a
lively contest, six runs being made
Lawrence Lyman got the first ball,
Earl Pangburn scond, Clarence Cleve-
land third, Francis Gallagher fourth,
Charley Doolittle fifth, Willie Lenz
sixth. Each of these six youngsters
now has a good base ball in return
for a little eXertiOn.
