mm§^£ Si TO OUR READERS How many objects the names of which begin with the letter "p" can you find in this picture? It's a big game in which everybody can take part. Who can find the most such objects? Take a pencil and get busy. Everyone in the home, Pa, Ma, Bobby, Mary Ann, Grandma and Uncle Bill. First see who gets the most at home. Then combine your list and send in the big list to the Tribune office and if your list has the largest number of correct words you get a prize of $3.00. But if with your answer you send in $2.00 for one year's subscription to the Willmar Tribune you get $15.00. If you send in two subscriptions you get $25.00 as first prize and if you send in three subscriptions including one new subscription you get $35.00 and if you send four subscriptions, including two new ones, you will receive $50.00. See table of prizes elsewhere in this announce ment. There is no hitch or trick to this puzzle. It is easy and above board. It's the contestant with the sharpest eyes that will find the most objects and win the big prize. It costs nothing to try in the first class. You will want the paper for another year anyway so you might as well get into the second class. But to make the game really exciting and worth while get into the third class by sending us a new subscriber or better still, into the fourth class by sending us two new sub rs and win a prize of $35:00. With very little erort you cin break into the1 fifth class and qualify for the $50.00 cash prize. It's going to be some fun. Now who gets the big prize? Can you find 50? Probably even more?
