The announcement last week in The

been attempted by any newspaper in
The Lake Region has created more en-
thusiasm than we expected. We did
look for some real good nominations
but did not anticipate the number that

week. It only goes to show that
the people Of this county were wide
awake and appreciated the prizes
which The World is offering to its
friends who realize it is contest run
strictly on the square.
Costly Prizes.
Of course The World could have
conducted red-hot circulation CAM
paign with much less expensive prizes
and gotten out with just one-half of
the expense. There have been sever
al campaigns conducted in and around
this vicinity where they have offered
an auto and other prizes, but the
