Where the Prizes Can BE Seen.

Where the Prizes Can BE Seen.
The five-passenger Ford automo-
bile has arrived, and will be on the
streets of Salem, also in front of the
Capital Journal Office. The grand
prize $425 Eiler's pianos will soon
be on display in one of the princi-
pie stores of Salem. The beautiful
500 diamond rings are on display
at @. III. Hinges jewelry store. The
five gold watches will be on display
at Barrs' jewelry store. The schol-
arships in the Holmes Business Col
lege need no introduction to the peo-
pie of this vicinity.
Now just a word about that tour
ing car. If there is man, woman
or child in the United States who
would not like to own an autOmo-
bile, there is something wrong with
him. Automobiling is the most fas-
cinating, healthful and exhilirating
sport known to mankind. But you
realize all that don't you? All of
us have envied the people who go
speeding along ten times faster than
those of us who are obliged to travel
on foot or by vehicle. Big satisfac-
tion to climb into car and get
where you want in just few min
utes, it is not?
Well, here's an opportunity that
The Journal is giving you to secure
an automobile by little work. And
the car is a Ford, too. What do
you know about that? The one which
The Journal has purchased for this
grand contest prize is a new model

fully equipped, SO that when the car
is awarded to you for your efforts in
this contest all that you will need to
do is to crank it up, climb in and

speed away, happy in the possession
of an instrument of pleasure that
will yield more satisfaction than any
thing that you ever owned.
Won Newly YOrlx-SeattIe Race.
The Ford car is the one which car
ried off the first honors in the New
York-Seattle auto race just few
weeks ago, if you remember, making
the trip in just 21 days. None of us
may be auto experts, but everyone
more than anything else test of en-
durance of the car. But the Ford
won, that means that the Ford ranks
first in the automobile world for it's
durability. That means something
does it not? At least it is some COM
fort to know that you are working
for car that will not break down
and begin to cause you trouble be-
fore you have gotten it home.
About a hundred other makes of
machines were considered by The
Journal before one was finally
chosen for the capital prize in this
great contest. Many of them could
have been purchased for less money,
but, in view of the splendid showing
that this great machine made through
this section so recently in connection
with the eToss-country race, because
of its durability and it's standing as
car in which satisfaction and ster-
ling worth is to be found in every
part of its mechanism the Ford was
chosen, and it will be awarded to
the young lady who, at the close of
this contest, on December 1S, will
have TO her credit more votes than
any other contestant.
This beautiful car was purchased

Holmes Business College.
The business scholarship feature
of The Journals voting contest ap-
peals particularly to the young la
dies in each community of the dis
rict who desire to qualify them
selves with a business education,
and there is no better schol in the
West for this purpose than the
Holmes Business College of Port
land. Dozens of young women in the
territory embraced have entered the
contest for the express purpose of
winning one of the valuable scholar
ships.
The scholarships, three in num-
ber, will be given as the fourth prize
The instructors in the different de-
partments of the Holmes Business
College are acknowledged to be the
best in their line, and for this rea-
son the school has met with phe-
nomenal success, and is today one of
the best business college west of
Chicago. In every town are well-to-
do men and women who consider it
their duty, as we'll as pleasure, to
assist young people in such a laud-
able ambition. AS soon as the young
woman aspirant makes her candi-
dacy known to people of this class,
as we'll as her personal friends, they
will at once begin to save the cou-
pons from The Journal and send in
their subscriptions for few months
or year and get the votes. A new
subscriber for one year by mail or
carrier gives $1,000 votes. 1t re-
quires very few of these at the
outset of the contest to place any
candidate in a most advantageous
position.
Make up your mind right now that
you are going to be one of the 70 =
tunate ones, and stive to attain that
end. You can do it if you try. Do
not wait until the last moment, but
start right now. If your name is al
ready entered in the list and you
have not done much as yet, begin
now. You will never regret the time
and effort spent in the contest.
At present the candidates are just
beginning to get their start and feel
ing the pulse of their friends to
get their strength.
A number of subscriptions have
already come in. Coupons clipped
from The Journal are received daily
in large numbers and many votes
which are issued on subscriptions
are sent out to be held in reserve and
drawn on later, when an absolute me-
cessity arrives.
Any young woman who desires TO
enter her name may write to the
contest manager, and she will at
once be placed on the fre esubscrip-
ton list to receive the paper at her
home every day until the close of
the contest, and will be furnished
with receipt blanks for securing sub
scriptions.
