!,
Only two days more and the last pic
ture in the great proverb contest will
be published. Many thousands of con-
testants are already deploring the fact
that the contest is so near over, and
that it was of such short duration.
But the EVENING STAR, with char
acteristic %forethought and generosity,
has prepared a second and greater con-
test, which will be inaugurated in its
columns within a very few days after
the close Of the present proverb con-
test.
The new contest win be equally as
fascinating and much simpler and easy
to follow. Like the proverb contest,
his unique and novel contest will in
terest both young and old in supplying
an unusual and pleasant mental diver
sion.
Many thousands of dollars in prizes
will be offered and needless to say these
prizes will in many ways eclipse all
former efforts of a prize distribution.
Watch the EVENING STAR closely
for details concerning the EVENING
STARS second and greater contest.
