The Daily Register wishes to

mo of advertisements that ap-
pear in print on the contest page.
The advertisement is written by
the merchant and sent in for
publication. We set the ad-
vertisement iii type, exactly as
it has been written and take q
proof of the ad. After the proofs
have been read we draw q circle
around word in one of the al
vertisements, mark o notation
on the proof "to be cut" The
word is then taken out and the
line properly spaced.
Each Wednesday after the
Missing Word for the week pre-
vious. has been announced, the
original copy containing the
word and the proof of the adj
vertisement showing the word
in print, will be posted in one OF
the windowse in the front OF our
office.
The only persons barred from
entering this contest are the
employees of this office and their
families or any one connected
with the working force of this
paper.
Business men and their fam
lilies have the privilege to par
ticipate.
The list of prizes to be given
in the contest are listed with the
rules on the Contest page. The
readers should not give up if un-
able to find word any week,
but should keep trying until the
close of the contest, for it is not
believed that any one person
will find all the missing words
during the thirteen weeks.
The prizes will go to those
finding the most of the missing
words, so you may easily be re
paid for your time and trouble
if YOU find several of the thlr-
teen missing words.
