A contest with such fine prizes as
an all expense trip to California
and Old Mexico is bound to arouse
an enormous amount of interest
and the contest being sponsored by
local participating merchants and
this newspaper promises to arouse
more interest than any ever prev
iously conducted here. Last year
similar contests conducted by 81
Washington newspapers in various
communities proved immensely pop
ular and 60 girls made a trip south
in special cars This year with both
Oregon and Washington COMMUNE
ties and newspapers participating in
a great trip sponsored jointly by the
Washington Press Association and
the Oregon Editorial Association,
probably from rs to 100 girls will
travel for ten days in special cars
on deluxe trip.
Reports from all over the two
states show that these contests are
attracting an immense amount of
interest in every community. Girls
seeing such an unparalleled oppor-
tunity opened to them are getting
their friends to save votes. There
is no great amount of work involv-
ed except to get all friends active
in helping. People are glad to help
deserving girl. It costs nothing to
help. The vote coupons are given
out with cash purchases and in
some instances for the payment OF
old accounts. The merchants are
glad to pass them out on request
at the time Of each sale. So it Is
simply a matter of calling up friends
and urging them to help by saw
ing votes. It is a contest in which
everyone cooperates in a worthwhile
cause. The merchants do more
business, people save coupons or
votes for their candidates and the
winners among the candidates en-
joy a marvellous trip, in which the
girls see things they have all dream
ed about but few have ever hoped
to be able to see.
