GIRL FIRST WINNER.
The first winner in Mondays mail
is Gladys Humphreys. 1902 North
Navidad street. She sent In the fol.
lowing:
TWO furnished rooms, with garage.
two nice refined men; for rent.
Gladys rises to inquire whether the
two nice refined men" are for rent,
too? No, we don't think so. The
writer of the ad probably wants to
rent the rooms but anyhow the ad
was wide open and Gladys found the
quip. She has a nice, new dollar
bill waiting for her at The Light Of
flee.
Here's a quip from one of our many
friends in the army. The army folks
are always Classified readers. They
have learned that il is both profitable
and interesting to read The Lights
classified pages.
Francis NJ. Rich, Twentieth In
fantry, at Fort Sam Houston, selects
the following: = =
FOR sALE--ls34 Ford touring, new
rubber, and this car is q special bar
gain at only $40. There is no catch
In THIS.
Mr.. Rich says that he already owns
one with no catch in 1.-THE spark
never catches the gas.
VICIOUS BEARSkIN.
Well friends, we feel sure that
wasn't the kind Of catch the ad writer
intended. We will wager the Ford
he is offering is real good one and
that it hits ON all four and is worth
more than 500. We believe it is a
sure enough buy at the price.
But anyhow our army friend gets
a nice new 81 bill with Uncle Sans
O. X. on it. Call at the office of
The Light, Mr.. Rich. and ask for
your dollar.
Here's a real snappy one folks,
right straight from the shoulder. H.
J. Phillips sends it in and he scores
clean hit, too.
BEARSKIN rug, extra large, killed by
Roosevelt party, trade for guns or
field glasses, etc.
Roosevelt went to Africa TO shoot
beaBkin rugs. lions and other ferco-
cious wild animals" writes Mr.. Phil
lips. "This rug was floored after a
thrilling encounter"
o. L. Hacker, 1902 Hays street,
who sends in the following quip:
EXPERIENCE Dcook for five people
Is she TO cook the six people! ask
Mr.. Hacker.
'wANT A HOME CHEAP?
Have a five-room house near school
and car line in fine repair"
According to II. Englebright, Camp
Normoyle, the above ad sounds as if
the car line was in fair repair.
Come in and see us Mr.. Engle-
bright, We have a nice new dollar bill
for you.
Yoakum is also participating in this
contest and the Quip Editor is glad
to announce that Miss Ethel Baker,
316 West Hugo street, Yoakum, is
a winner OF a dollar bill.
Miss Baker sends in the following
Quip:
FIvE-RooM, S4750. Brand new on
North side, all modern conveniences,
naer school and car line.
Miss Baker asks, is this five room
house, brand new on the north side
only? Or is this the part of the
city, il is situated in?
