For each day The Light and the
Texas State Bank put out 81 bill.

The campaign was inaugurated by
The Light to help Uncle Sam get
more 50 bills into circulation. The
Light wanted to prove TINT there isn't
any "jinx" about a two-spot. The
Texas State Bank saw the opportunity
and grasped it.
Now everybody in town is talking
about The Lights 81 bill contest.
Already four persons have quail.

avenue acquired his smile Saturday
where's the Two-Spot Editor?" he
asked, broad grin wreathing his
face as he walked into The Light
office.
Right here"
And he was handed $40.
That's the first luck l ever had
in my life. Maybe I've lost my jinx
too" was his exclamation as he took
the ten-spot. Then he grinned again.
The Light photographer snapped him
and the grin.
OTHERS LUCKY.
But there were four other lucky
people ahead of Housworth.
They were D. c. Sernes, Kansas
City expert accountant, Modesto
Zaleta, mechanic; Percy Barbat and
Mrs. D. Parchman.
They didn't believe in superstition
They were readers of The Light
They scanned every So bill that came
within view. They asked for twos
when they got change.
Sernes and Zaleta came into pos
session of 81 bill which had been
put out by The Light. They cashed
them.

on the alert for lucky two-spots. They
took theirs to the Texas State Bank
