! New Rockford, 'tthe midway city"
with a population of a little more than
1000, is located on the banks of the
James river, midway between James,
town and Leeds on the Devils Lake
branch of the Northern Pacific and
also midway between Fargo and Minot
on the new Great Northern main line
cut-off, over which trains are expect
ed to be running before Aug. 1. 1t is
situated in n of the best farming
sections of the state, being the county
seat of Eddy county, the. county secur-
ing first prize at the Industrial expo
sition at Bismarck for a display of
1911 crops. The fertile soil Of the
James river valley returns splendid
yields even in years of drouth, and
this is mainly responsible for the ex-
cellent growth and development of the
city. The level prairies around the
city are dotted with substantial farm
houses and prosperity reigns supreme
both in city and surrounding terri
tory.
Since its foundation in 1884, New
Rockford has had a steady, substan-
tial growth, and it lis now inhabited
by a bunch Of live, progressive bust
ness men, and is a little city with
miles of cement walks, substantial
brick business blocks and fine homes
in the residence districts. Never.
since the first townsite stake was
driven, has New Rockford experienced
d boom with inflated values on
property. which is always followed by
a general decentralization, such as has
been the ~experience OF many Of III

Separate Awards for
Each Voting District
Practically Four Individual
Competitions.

The city has been divided into four
voting districts. and each will have its
own set Of awards. This is for the pur-
pose OF equalizing the distribution OF
awards among the people of the different
sections Of the city.
The four set OF awards will be iden-
teal. and will be given to the contest
ants In the various districts procuring
the greatest number or votes. Tnis
makes the contest practically four sepa-
rate competitions. In addition to these
awards there will be a grand award OF a
$500 house and lot to the contestant
with the greatest number OF votes in the
entire District OF Columbia, Irrespective
OF voting districts.
The district divisions have reference
merely to the awards ana in no wise re-
late to the methods OF obtaining votes
Contestants may procure votes in any
part OF the city, Irrespective or whether
the merchants which they patronize are

No skill is required in the contest. No
special qualifications are necessary to en-
ter. II you have enough spirit to desire
any OF the $50 articles which are TO be
awarded. you have the making OF a WIN
ner in you. 1t is astonishing what a
person can really do when he sets his
mind upon accomplishing a certain end.
You are not asked to spend a cent in
the contest. You are not asked to solicit
a single thing. All that is required Of
you is to read The Herald carefully every
day. patronize the special merchants and
manufacturers who advertise to give
votes in this contest. and obtain the CO.
operation of your friends in your per-
sonal campaign. Does that require any
special gift from the gods?
You cannot afford TO delay in the mat
ter. The contest is now started. Start
early on your quest for votes. Send In
Your nomination blank at once, so that
you may be registered as a contestant
and you may receive 1000 votes as a
starter
Always patronize merchants whose ad-
vertisements appear in connection with
the contest 1t is only by a strict ad-
herence to this principle that you will
come to success. Whoever you are you
have just as good a chaEce now for one
Of the $50 articles as your neighbor. 1t
is altogether 4 question of who takes
the greatest interest in the contest. The
man who sets in his mind upon winning
certain article and backs up his desire
by honest effort should be among the
victorious at the end Of the six months
competition.

THE PLAN OF
THE CONTEST is
VERY SIMPLE


There are two ways to get votes One
deals with the patronage of the retail
merchants, and the other with the pur'
chase OF the manufactured products. BY
purchasing advertised products at adver-
tised establishments It is possible to get
votes twice for the same purchase.
THE FIRST METHOD VOTES
GIVEN BY RETAIL MERCHANTS AD-
VERTISED IN CONTEST TO PATRONS
UPON REQUEST AT THE RATE OF
ONE FOR EACH CENTS IN PUR-
CHASE.

tising IN connection with the competition

The list OF these merchants should be

trred products. in particular. should be
read carefully. In each 10 a sentence
telling exactly what must be exchanged
to secure votes. 1t may be a label. or a
wrapper. or trademark. or a bottle
cap, or a carton-so in order to avoid
mistake, 1t is advisable TO pay especial
attention to this class OF advertisements
These advertised products should al
ways be purchased in preference TO
others. Contestants should ask their
friends to buy these products and to
save she required medium OF exchange
for them. Labels. trademarks, &c.
from products advertised in tho contest
will be accepted regardless Of whether
the purchase was made at a merchant

ants to purchase the products at the es-
adjustments OF merchants in the con-
test. for in this way II is possible to re-
ceive votes twice. To illustrate. a con-
testant purchases a sc box Of Hof's

be patronized when 1t is necessary tc
make a purchase The list is a complet,
one. and there Is hardly a conceivable
article which cannot be purchased at one
OF the establishments.
The Herald should be read carefully
every day. The advertisements are scat
tered through the paper. 1t is a bad plan
merely to watch the classified lists of
advertisers. BY reading each OF the ad-
vertisement closely and thoughtfully. the
contestant will get an accurate know
ledge OF what the various merchants
have to sell. and when 1t Is necessary to
purchase any OF these articles. he will
know exactly where to go. and not only
get what he wants. but procure the votes
also.
1t is advisable for contestants to secure
copies Of the list OF advertising mer-
chants and manufacturers from the Ad-
vocate and distribute them among their
The Washington herald., 1912-09-26

friends. with the request that they pat
ronize the establishments and products
and save the votes for them. By follow
ing out this plan. the contestant will not
be required TO spend a cent to obtain
votes. 1t is no trouble to the friends
In asking a person 10 assist him in the
competition. a contestant is doing q
valuable service 10 that person. For by
patronizing these merchants and manu-
facturers. the public will be sure to get
the best quality at the most reasonable
prices.
THE SECOND METHOD: VOTES
GIVEN BY THE ADVOCATE At

LABELS, wRAPP RS, TRADE
MARKS, BOTTLE CAPS. AND CAR
TONS OF MANUFACTURER PROD
UCTS ADVERTISED IN CONTEST At
RATE OF ONE FOR EACH CENT IN
PURCHASE.

There are two methods: First, patronize re-
tail merchants advertised in contest. Second,
purchase manufactured products advertised in
connection with competition. @@@@@

The FIRST SEPARATION
Newspaper Clipping Proved a
Dove of Peace.
BY LUCY CLAIR ATKINSON.

Edith Forsyth was leaving to spend
a couple of weeks at Old Point Com
fort. AS the train pulled out she
waved her dainty little handkerchief
to Fred, and In q few minutes was
swiftly borne out OF sight. 1t was
Edith's first separation from FRED
since their wedding Way down in
Freds heart there was a feeling Of
satisfaction over the idea Of return
ing for short time 70 hts facheloF
habits Their little apartment, so
cosy and homelike, bespoke the
artistic temperament and ingenuity
of Edith, and Fred anticipated With
delight having his old college churn
Arthur Wilson, come around in the
evenings to chat of old times.
Before leaving, Edith discharged
the cook, and decided that Fred could
take his meals at the restaurant
around the corner This arrangement
presented a glowing picture to Fred in
the premises
For the first week everything
worked smoothly Fred wrote every
day and sept the local newspapers,
thus keeping Edith in touch with
the happenings at home. Meanwhile
the quietude of the rooms began to
pail on Fred. who missed Edith's
warm greeting and other little at
tentions to which he vas accustomed
every afternoon on his return VII
son came nearly every evening, but
he, too, was getting to be ttresome.
Fred, with his cheerful disposition
was disappointed to see Wilson turn
ing cynic, which vas the case during
the last few months, It did not i'm,
prove his frame Of mind to see his
married friends out with their wives
at the summer amuscments the town
offered. and it seemed Of all their

hoping that he would be entirely
well by the time the letter arrived
That plea failing, Fred then wrote
that the hired girl Who cleaned the
apartment had left and that Edith's
most cherished articles OF furniture
were covered with dust and In fact
everything was going to rack and
ruin. This brought reply from
Edith telling him not TO worry that
she would not be home for some
