Great Interest Shown
In Liberal Prize Offer
Many Are Giving Serious Thought to Question of Entering
Easy for Anyone to Win the $1275 Hupmobile.
Less Than Six Weeks Required.

Candidates who get started at once
will find hosts of people ready and
anxious to support them, for the lib
eral prize offer announced by The
Press has aroused widespread interest
throughout the valley. Never before
have the people of this section OF the
state been afforded an opportunity to
win such valuable prizes by so little
effort on their part -
Not only is there a $1275 Hupmo-
bile to be given away less than SIX
weeks from today, but there are many
other handsome prizes to be award
ed, all four leaders receiving prizes
worth at least 5000. No one can fail
to receive liberal retrun for the time
and effort expended, for those who
finish below the prize-winning num-
bers will receive cash commissions.
Some Still Hesitate.
Many who would like to win the
classy Hupmobile or the $500 Seeley
lot, one of the furniture orders or
jewelry prize, still hesitate, imagining.
they cannot hope to win in the face
of the keen competition sure to be de-
veloped. The competition will be
among a select few who distinguish
themselves early in the campaign, and
is well worth while, for all affected
bv it will receive prizes worth at least
5000 in cash, and one of them win win
a $1,275 prize.
Foolish RumOrs.
In every campaign of this nature it
is difficult for most people to appreci-
ate the fact that all will be given a
square deal and have an equal chance
to win. Yet no contest can be imam
cial success to the newspaper unless
everv possible means are employed to
insure absolute fairness for all. No
candidate will be permitted to buy
votes in any way. No one Will be
permitted to turn in subscriptions for
longer terms than five years. No can
didate will be permitted to turn in
subscriptions with name of subscriber
to be furnished later. AS far as pos
sible, candidates will be prevented
from using any of their own money
for subscriptions, for the aim of the
contest is to secure new subscribers
who will continue to take the paper
after once they get into the habit OF
reading it.
Candidates who go ahead regard
less of foolish rumors and discourage
ing remarks will soon find their names
up among the leaders, when friends
will cease to discourage them and will
all become boosters.
