Since the close of the first Bee Booklov-
ers contest preparations have been going
forward for prizes for another contest of
the same successful sort and this an
nouncement presents to the vast army OF
Bee readers what is perhaps the most val
liable list Of prizes ever offered in a con-
test of this nature.

age newspaper contest is conducted usually
on the basis of getting subscriptions and
under such circumstances contestants are
required to devote practically their whole
time to the newspaper so engaged.
Thousands of contestants in the first Bee
Booklover contest were happy at having
entered it; many letters have reached The
Bee office wherein men and women have
frankly stated that they felt no disappoint-
ment at failing to win prizes. that the edu-
cational character OF the work was SC
pleasant as to make 1t profitable without
other reward.
The Bee takes great pleasure in extending
the list OF prizes until now fifty-five reim-
bursements are offered contestants. II
must be borne in mind that there is nc
value in guessing in this contest Not only
the title to the book. but the authors name
az well must be correctly provided in order
