 Those who do not understand the rules and regulations of this contest can call at this office or write us and we will be pleased to go over the proposition with them.
 EXTRA PRIZE OF S1O IN GOLD
 The first count in the contest will be Aug. Is at which time S1O in gold will be awarded to the contestant having the largest number of votes at that time. This prize is extra, in addition to the other prizes offered. and it's winning will not bar the winner from securing the piano or any of the other prizes.
 Do 1t now and help someone reap the benefits of this liberal offer. Remember that many of the merchants of this town are in, terested in this contest and give a 25 vote coupon with evey $1 cash purchase.
 This contest is between indi- viduals and no lodge or other or- ganization will be permitted to stand as the candidate of any particular organization with the understanding if she wins the piano or other prizes it is to go to that organization. Such an arrangement would be manifestly unfair to the other contestants. Any candidate so detected will be disqualified. Remember and have your friends trade with the merchants who are giving cou- pons. The names of merchants who are giving handsome prizes and helping to make this contest a big success are as follows:
