and the hat which she will make will
be dream. We have asked her
to make it the prettiest hat ever worn
by Crawford county girl and it will
be. Look for it IN Bamford's show
window.
We regret that all of the contest
ants who are doing splendid work
cannot be winners this month. but we
would urge that none of them be dis
couraged. In fact there is so little
difference between the candidates that
the man who would bet on the winner
of the automobile would be daring in
deed. In fact there is still room for
some brand new candidates by hard
work. to carry off the honors.
With neighborly kindness. the Bull
letin insists that the Review contest
is failure. We are satisfied with
the results up to date. New subscrib-
ers are coming in and old ones are
renewing and our prophesy OF $500 in
Crawford county a year from now
will be fulfilled. The beauty of the
Review is that it gives more than his
monev's worth to each subscriber.

Cook With 1t

Note the delicious, surprising flavor
that Van Camps gives to milk dish.
That favor comes solely from milk.
Van Camps is the whole mlk-some-
thing you never get from your milkman.
All of the butter fat, all of the solids are
in it.
Your millsmans milk, before you get It,
stands while and separates. The butter
fat rises and the solids fall.
You get different milk from every
part of the can. But you never get the
whole milk-never get ii twice alike,
Then, the butter fat you do get is often
SKINNED off before the milk goes into
cooking.
So you get new flavor when you cook
with Van Camps. Yet it's only the favor
of whole, rich milk.
Try 1t once. You'll never again make
milk dishes out of raw milk.
