Miss Dobson, the winner of the five
passenger automobile, who resides at
Deloit, was present when the announce
ment was made and was overjoyed
when it was announced that she had
won the first grand prize, a $3.50 auto.
mobile. Her total number Of votes
was 4,051,730. Miss Dobson worked
hard and we understand that she
worked in every township in the coun-
ty securing votes. While Miss Dobson
devoted practically her entire time to
the contest, she attributes her sue
cess to the fact that she was securing
subscriptions to Crawford county's
leading newspaper and that she found
no difficulty in securing many new
subscribers and those who were al
ready taking the paper did not hest
tate to advance their subscriptions one
or two years to help her win one Of
the valuable prizes.
The second prize, the $3.50 Columbia
graphophone, was won by Miss Agnes
Brogan, of Jackson township, with
2,046,S00 votes. Miss Brogans friends
throughout the entire county rallied to
that no other contestant secured as
many new subscribers as did she. Miss
Brogan is attending the sister school
in Denison and during the contest did
not miss single day of school work
Her friends and relatives helped her
in her campaign and put forth great
efforts in endeavoring to secure for
her one of the valuable prizes.
Miss Jessie Fleming, who resides
near Boyer was declared the winner
of the third grand prize, the $4,000
diamond ring. Miss Fleming was at
the Review Office Saturday evening to
learn the results of the count of
votes made blythe judges, and was
more than pleased with the fine prize
awarded her as winner of the third
grand prize. Her total number of
votes was 1,491 900, which shows for
itself that she had devoted consider
able time to the contest.
Mrs. Bessie Binnall, of Dow City,
won the fourth grand prize, the $40
diamond ring, her total number of
votes being 1,196,456 Mrs. Binnall
made great campaign, but was some
what handicapped on account of her
household duties. The people of Dow
City and vicinity rallied to her sup
port and her friends assisted her in
every way possible. Mrs. Binnall in
| forms US that she is satisfied that she
was awarded every vote by the judges
| TO which she was entitled, but not
one vote more, and that she received
the prize her efforts earned and in
short that the contest was square and
fair to dot.
1t was thought by number of peO-
pie residing outside of Denison that
the bulk of the prizes would go to
contestants residing here in Denison,
but such was not the case. The first
four prizes were won by young ladies
in other parts of the county. This.
no doubt, was due to the fact that
there were several young ladies work
ing in Denison and that the vote was
more or less divided among them, al
lowing young ladies in other parts of
the county to overcome them with I'M
divided territory. Denison's first
prize winner was Mrs. Geo. Bouslaugh
whose vote was 1,111.0OO, and the fifth
grand prize. ladies' solid gold watch,
seventeen jewel movement, valued at
$4,000, was awarded to her. Mrs.
Bouslaugh did exceptionally we'll con-
sidering that she had her household
duties to attend to and that there were
a number of days that she was un
I able to do any work at all in the con-
test.
The sixth grand prize, a ladies' sol
id gold watch, valued at $3.50, was
won by Miss Martha Christensen, of
Charter OAK. who had 1O27,15O votes.
Miss Christensen made good cam
paign, but was handicapped on account
of her duties at the telephone eX-
change at Charter Oak.
| The seventh and eighth grand
prizes, both scholarships to the Deni-
son Normal and Business college, were
won by Mrs. r. B. Thompson and Miss
Agatha Drummer. These scholarships
are valued at $40 each and no doubt
the winners will dispose of them to
good advantage.
The active contestants who turned
in subscriptions each week from the
beginning of the contest, and who
failed to win one of the eight prizes.
will receive 10 per cent of the amount
they collected. This commission will
enable them to buy nice prize for
themselves and they are more than
pleased with the outcome.
| From the very beginning the Re-
views contest created intense inter-
est in every part of the county. The
fact that the prizes offered We're so
valuable stirred the contestants to
greater energy and friends of the diff
ferent candidates became active at the
start. The contest, as advertised from
the very beginning, was conducted in
