The big prize voting contest an
nounced in these columns last week is

nations of contestants are being sent
to this Office daily and soon there will
be many who would be willing re-

enumerated in this list.
All of these handsome prizes are
enumerated in the announcement on
another page and will be given to
some of the young ladies of this vici-
nifty.
The question is how can | do iii All
that is necessary is to get your rela-
tives and friends to trade with the
merchants who are donating prizes
in this popular voting contest.
For every dollar spent with mer-
chants you will receive rs votes which
can be voted for any OF the contest
ants. Also to get your friends TO sub
scribe for this paper. For each one
year new subscription YOU will re-
ceive 600 votes; for each one year
renewal 500 votes; for each year back
subscription 400 votes OF course, it
is to be understood that under no
circumstances are coupons issued by
merchants except upon cash pur-
chases.
We have been asked if the wife or
daughter of merchants who are CO.
operating with this paper in this vot-
ing contest may compete for any
prize. Neither the wife nor daugh-
ter of any of the merchants who are
cooperating with this paper in this
contest enter the competition.
The reasons for this are obvious,
and we are very sure that all the mer-
chants will feel just as we do in re-
gard to the matter. We want this
contest to be conducted with the
greatest possible fairness, with no oc-
casion nor opportunity for anybody
to criticize. The ballot box is now at
our Office, ready to receive votes. The
box will not be opened until the first
count is made on July 10. The judges
will be absolutely disinterested peo-
pie, in whom everybody will have CON
fdence, and every count will be par
ticipated in by representatives of the
Publishers Music Co., who are
managing this contest. There will be
no favoritism. The lady who secures
the largest number of votes will win
the piano and so on down for the rest
OF the prizes. We wish there were
pianos enought to go around for all OF
the girls. but there are not, and all but
one will nave to be content with one
of the many other beautiful prizes
offered
