In announcing our ‘'European Con.

Its circulation, the greater Ita publicity 1
and the greater ita value aa an advm
Using medium. The farther out ll
reaches, the greater the trade It will

However, we offer as an Incitement
fifteen educational tours to Europe,
conducted by Thoa. Cook & Bon, the
greateat Tour conductors in the world.
Every expense of the successful candi

but their work. It costs the public
nothing. We ask for no contribu
tions. We merely offer to sell our
newspaper at the usual price of sub
scription. Out of the proceeds of the
contest we pay the coat of the Tours.
But while the contest Is a commer
cial enterprise, tt gives fifteen women
In this section an opportunity to visit
Europe under the most favorable cir
cumstances and In that view of It, tho
contest will be a benefit to others.
The European trip will ho not only a
