CONTEST ENDED
Contest Good One From Every
Stan6point-Large Number of
4 Entries Made It Interesting
PARTICIPANTS coNeRATULATED
Many Useful Purposes Are Served by
Such Contests-Merchants Gave
Literally to Pramiums Offered

The garden growing season of 1918
has come and gone. The committee
on awards for the garden contest has
made its report. The contest was a
good one from every standpoint. A
large number Of entries were made
and keen interest was manifest
throughout. The three weeks OF con-
tinuous rain in the early part of the
season put everyone behind and a few
out of the race. The dry weather
that followed later cut the yields of
many crops but those who continued
to care for their gardens had as al;
ways, ample reward for their effort.
Many useful purposes are served by
SUCH contests as the one just brought
to its close and many of the merchants
who gave literally, to the contest fund
have expressed the hope that bigger
and better contest be held next year.
To the boys and girls and the men
and women who participate in receiv.'
ing the prize money we extend con-
gratulations. To those who do not re-
ceive cash prizes we also extend con-
gratulations. 1T Is better to have
tried and lost than never tried at ALL"
If at first you don't succeed-try, try
again." is the spirit that wins. II
there be a similar contest next year
we bespeak the hearty cooperation OF
ALL
