EUROPE TOURS CANNOT BE
PURCHASED BY ANYBODY
Fair Competition Will Determine the Winner and The Sentinel
Will Stake Its Reputation Upon the Honesty Of Its
Great European Tour Contest.
BIG VOTE IS P0LlEO BY THE CONTESTANTS TO-DAY

"A the list of contestants for the
two great tours abroad to be
given by The Daily Sentinel would
be making mistake to drop out on
the grounds that some other young
lady or young ladies had better
show to win.
We contend that the race is any
body's race at his time. and all
young ladies who have desire to
win and who have been entered as
Nominees are on practically an equal
footing at this time.
The Sentinel desires to state again
that no contestant will be allowed to
secure and maintain an unfair ad
vantage over any other contestant.
All of the girls are to be treated eN
actly alike. The Sentinel naturally
VIII have no favorite in the race. If
ii did, the contest would be deserving
of complete failure. We propose that
every young lady gets impartial
treatment in all matters, pertaining
to the contest. If any contestant
hears any report to the effect that
another contestant is being given the
slightest advantage, she should at
once communicate with the editor of
The Sentinel.
Nearly every day we are asked the
uutSllOH. YAH sOltDOuN Duy tHcoS
trips for some girl? We have tried
tempt will not be tolerated for mo-
ment.a we. are not going to permit
-ts,HS friend of any contestant 10 win
these TRIPS for his contestant by maxi
ing a big personal expenditure of
money in the closing days of the
contest. AS we have stated before.
not one subscription will be advanced
for more than five years, and we will
not permit this regulation to be
avoided by any makeshift scheme.
Must BE Fair.
We do not want any girl to win
in this contest who does not do so in
fair competition with all the other
girls; and, if we should be convinced
at any time that some contestants
were securing an unfair advantage
over the other contestants, we shall
promptly inform the other contest
ants.
AS we have stated before, we are
not going to permit any of the young
ladies to be Disseminated against in
any manner We had rather have
the contest absolutely impartial and
the victory won solely on the merits
of the winner than to have it a tre-
mendouS financial success and yet
room for doubt as to the fairness of
the competition
No; the two extensive and eXpen-
sive European tours to be given by
The Sentinel and forming the costli-
est prizes ever given by paper of

be sold and can only be secured by
some young lady for herself and
friend who wins fairly in a contest

Furthermore, the Palisade girl, the
Fruita girl, the Clifton girl, the APP
pleton girl or the girl from any other
section of the county will have an
equal showing with the Grand juno
tion girl
To Announce More Details.
In a few days We will be able to
announce in detail the route to be
Travelled by the winners from. Grand
Junction to Boston. We propose that
this trip be made over the most pop
ular lines and on the finest of pas
senger trains.
Nearly every day we are told by
someone who has Travelled abroad that
the tour to be'taken by the two Mesa
County girls is one of the finest and
most delightful that could possibly De
arranged, and that it should be a
matter of extreme satisfaction and
pride for any young ladies to win and
to enjoy these two tours which will
embrace the PRINCIPAL countries and
CAPITALS of the old world
