One OF the d!sagreeab.e features
about a contest is the disappoint-
ment OF the unsuccessful workers,
but In this case no disappointment
was evidenced and we hope there
are no score spots" The total re-
ceipts OF the contest were Sit72
and every dollar gets n years sub
scription to both the Republican
and Ruralist and after paying for
the prizes and big EXPENSE OF the
contest Il can be easily figured
out by any OF our readers that u
was not a money-mak.ng PROPOSE
ton.
But IL carried out successfully
It's object Of getting new sub
scrbbers, $50 of whom were added
to our books, giving US a circula-
ton In excess OF 5000, the largest
byfar In this county.
We were fortunate In having an
unusually live "bunch" Of girls
every one was n rustler who went
In to win. They say they were
treated we'll by the people OF Sa-
line for which We are thankful.
The records have been competed
and sent to the Ruralist office
and n copy held at the Republican
showing every dollar received,
through whom and far whom, so
II there's any doubt OF the fair
ness Of tho contest you a.s we.-
come to "see the books"
OF course great many mistakes
OF a minor nature are bound to
occur In a contest like this-names
confused, wrong addresses, ETC.
and We hope our readers will bear
with us till We get everything
straight. s.s4,.
THE AWARDS
The first and big prize was the
piano, which goes to Miss Minnie
Hockensmith. Miss Hockensmith
Is the c. & A. station agent
at Mt. Leonard. She Is without
doubt ssline's most popular young
lady and II was a revelation 20
us how her friends "got busy" in
her favor as soon as she announc-
ell herself. She is very busy young
lady and couldn't take the time
that some Of the others had but
her hundreds OF friends stayed
with her to q successful
finish. The award Ia well deserv-
cd.
Miss Adams OF Malta Bend
who won the diamond ring, Is like
wise very popular and had many
loyal friends. She also worked
hard and effectively through the
contest. Her returns were great
surprise to all and she missed the
big prize by only a very small
margin.
When Miss Grace Lasley, od Blue
Lick, went into the race we feltlike
advising her not to try 1t as We
realized che had a big disadvant
age over some of the others in
having limited territory, but she
knew no limits and secured the
county very effectively, probably
doing moro hard work than any
OF the girls. But being largely
among strangers her work was
difficult. No matter how hard she
would faN At times she always
"came up smiling" She doesn't
know what It means to give up or
get discouraged. Her pluck is ad-
mirable.
Miss Anna Fetters, who came in
