After many expe ents the painters

AUTOMOBILE TO
Be GIVEN AWAY
MANY SURPRISES RECORDED THIS
WEEK; CONTESTANTS SHOW
SOME VERY HARD WORK
AUTO WILL BE ON EXHIBITION
DURING THE FAIR FOR
THE PUBLIC TO VIEW

Glendora Malcom won the first of
the three special prizes awarded this
week in the Automobile contest, being
conducted by the Idaho Repub lean
and the B,own-Hart Co. He. gam
for the week was 29122O votes.
Anna Powell won the second prize
by total new ease of 244725 votes.
Doris Dunn won the third prize
with total increase for the week of
$685..
The others who were close were
Anna kiefer, Margaret Neelan and
Blanche Snider.
The prizes awarded were the choice
of life size French dolls and German
silver hand bags, all fine goods and
representing good values. The WIN
ners are much gratified over the out
come, and those who came near but
failed have assurance that their back
ing is strong and that they have been
conducting their business operations
well to have made such large gains.
Each of the contestants who is doing
active work is getting something of
a business education that is not with
out some value, and nobody who is
in the race seems to think the time
badly spent even though results have
been disappointing. The contest is
only getting started, and when the
crops begin to move and the vote is
in the hands of the country people no
body knows where the vote will go,
for the country people SO far out
number those in town that it all de-
pends upon how the girls organize
their forces. This is being done so
quietly that it leaves the public
guessing, and the public enjoys the
sensation of little mysteries that are
yet to be solved. The girls are free
to work out the solution and the pub
lie will look on and enjoy the game.
Votes are given on every purchase
at the Brown-Hart Company's and at
the Idaho Republican, and also on
subscriptions to the paper.
