All ladies having; Ideal Yeast Coupons
should fill in their guess and place them
in the Ideal Yeast Contest box at the
Willmar Tribune Office Contest closes
Nov. g. Guess as many times as you
have coupons, one of which is found
in each sc package of Ideal Yeast. The
guess is to be made as to the number of
women votes that will be cast in the
State of Minnesota. The closest guess
at Willmar gets handsome set Of ROg-
ers Silver spoons. We looked up the
number of women voting at the last
election and found it to be 28,475. This
will give an idea Of the approximate
number of women who exercise their
present limited franchise. The prize
will be awarded at Willmar by COM
mittee composed of Messrs. P. c. Peter
son. Ed. Benson and E. P. Bjornberg.
The handsome prize is we'll worth the
