Tn local Post has announced some
thing which should interest every
young lady in this part of the state
and northern Illinois. 1t is conducting
a popularity contest in connection
with. the last dance of the 1924-25
season on April IS, which also hap
pens to be the opening dance of the
summer season at the Rademacker pa
vilion at Twin Lakes.
Every person who buys ticket will
have votes on this contest. Every lady
or gentleman who sells book of 80
tickets will also have votes in this
| contest.
In order not to swamp the judges
with votes during the closing hours of
the contest the time is divided into
two. periods, the first extends until a
week before the dance, when each
ticket and book has half again as much
voting power as the same ticket or
book if turned in during the final
period.
The local Post takes pride in the
fact that it has never given anything
to the public which has not been of a
very fine quality. So when selecting
the prizes the committee will not con-
slider quantity or impressiveness but
quality. The first prize is to be 5000
diamond ring purchased from some re-
| liable jeweler. This means a ring
for 5000 which any person purchasing
would have to pay 5000 for. The Post
also states that the ring will be pur-
chased from some jeweler who is
known throughout this community as
diamond authority and whose bust
ness integrity is widely known.
The second prize will be wrist
watch which will be purchased where
the ring is purchased.
This concludes the prizes which the
local Post will purchase. If any more
are given they will be donated by some
public spirited person of the COM
munity to the Post and will be an
nounced through this news column.
| The price of tickets will range from
one cent to fifty cents, each ticket adj
mits one person and gives the pur-
chaser votes on the popularity con-
| test. 500 in gold is to be given to
