Gould District 6 have made q
finer sho wing? 1t goes without
| saying that it could not and the
TRIBUNE takes pleasure in making
the announcement of fortunate
ladies who captured the prizes.
All was not easy going and
come as-y -you-please during the life
of the contest in these parts. If
you happene ed to have been halted
temporarily and ''held up" for a
subscription by one of the young
ladies you probably have a faint
idea OF what was necessary to
their success. 1t was by energy
and the determination to win that
those who have been so successful
brought good fortune to them
selves. The TRIBUNE took an in
tere st in every contestant entered
from this, the sixth district, and
only regrets that all could not have
W on a prize. Right at this juno
ture, however, comes the st. Louis
Star in its usual generosity and
announces that on June Is every
lady in the sixth district is invited
to st. Louis to enjoy an excursion
with those of all other districts on
the Mississippi for an entire day.
Refreshments, music, dancing and
in fact everything that goes to
m axe for an enjoyable and never
to-be-forgotten day will be pro-
vided.
To those who tried but who fail
ed to secure one of the prizes, the
TRIBUNE wishes to extend it's ap-
preciation.of their efforts. That
all could not win was known
throughout the contest but that
some would be the fortunate ladies
was also obvious. Five of oul
Representatives have triumphed
and it is only the gracious act Of
! courtesy to extend to them oul
hearty congratulations. The grand
+ prizes go to Mrs. Helena Shobel
OF District 1 and Mrs. r. S. Barns.
, back of District 8.
