that it caters to the very best people

nus..., . of valuable and attractive
prize s. Vile fact that those who com
pete ac.ively and fail to win one of
the regular prizes will be paid a lib
5ral commission upon every dollar

more attractive. The plan of award
ing the prizes assures an equal dis
tribution for there is an automobile
for each district. Many other prizes
will be awarded according to the rules
and in proportion to the success the

Prize Winning Kasy
Prize winning becomes easier when
there are many workers In the field
as the work will be more evenly divid
ed among them, and -the person wis.
ning any of the big prizes can do so
with smaller scores.
It Is highly important however, that
those who expect to compete and make
a winning race, send In their nomina
tion coupons at once. A good beginning
means a good ending and as the cam
paign is to be so short, it is impera
tive that they begin immediately.

the topic for the evening and was
freely entered into by all present re
sulting in much information to quite
a number present, who had not had
opportunity to freely acquaint them
selves with the question.
It developed in the discussions that
the possibilities of such an organiza
tion as this for good in the school
work of the county is almost unlimit
ed and the suggestion met with a hear
ty enthusiasm that will no d oubt
bring about much good to the school
system and much information to the
membership.
