If a fairy were TO knock at the door
of some man or woman, boy or girl,
in this section and were to offer them
something for which they had been
longing for some time, it would be
folly on their part to refuse to open
the door and let this fairy deposit the
much coveted article with him or her
The Reporter does not pretend to play
the part of a fairy angel but it has
brought to Somerset County an op-
portunity for men and women, boys
and girls to secure the most valuable
gifts that have ever been offered by a
newspaper at positively no other cost
than the cost of exertion. 1t will be
well for the contestants to let their
friends know at once that they are in
the Contest and in it to win. Any
announcements they may wish to
publish will be used free of charge
A RACE FULL OF INTEREST
There will be lots of fun connected
with this Contest and you do not want
to miss any of it.
If you enter with the determina-
ton to win-and we assume that you
do-you should not waste much of
your time with the free coupons. It's
the subscriptions you will want to
hustle for Subscriptions are what
get the most votes and in this case

CHAUTAUQUA MAY COME
AGAIN NEXT YEAR
From IA Community Betterment Point
of View the Series Was Success.
The Deficit

From community betterment
point of view the Chautauqua series
of entertainments which closed yes
terday in Skowhegan were very sue
cessful, lecturers, readers and musi-
clans, for the most part being of a
high order. There is according to
the manager, however, deficit of
$500 in the financial results and the
guarantors have been obliged to pay
certain amounts according to the
agreement they entered into when
plans for the course were first fOrmu-
lated, aggregating about $42o, divided
among the A. local guarantors. There
has been an average attendance Of
about 800 daily. The tent is being
moved to Wolfboro, n. H., where the
entertainments will be next given.
We are informed this morning by
Byron w. Reed the Chautauqua man
ager, that the guarantors have been
exceedingly helpful in paying up the
deficit and the bulk of the same is al
ready paid. The contract for an
other series next year is already un-
derway and the prospects are that a
like series will be again presented
around the same dates in 1917. The
matter of a chldren's play ground
was taken up for consideration but
nothing definite was done regarding
the same

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1916-06-08

About twenty times in the last two
days unthinking people have inform
ed the Star that it was the opposition
of the newspapers that elected Cats.
just how much good newspaper OPP
position did Cats is shown by the
Ocala vote. Both Ocala papers OPP
posed Cats and showed him up un-
sparingly. He received in Ocala 81
votes out Of 576. Farris had twice
as many votes as Cats and two over.
Knott had twice as many votes and
13 over. Senator Bryan, who has been
the special object of Cats attacks,
had 256 votes, almost three to Cats
one, and Wall, who is Numerically
opposed to Cats ideas, had IA votes
more. If every democratic paper in
the state had opposed Cats as the
Ocala papers opposed him, he would
have been showed under too deep to
dig out by the 4th Of July. The truth
Of it is that the majority, while sup
porting Cats opponents, didn't have
the spunk to come out and show him
