terday to give a lift to Miss Hazel Van

also subscribed for-the Evening Ob

Miss Arnold of Elgin.
Miss Mabel Arnold of Elgin la not a
novice In newBnaner contest - effort
She has figured In two newspaper co
tests and won orizes in both of them
Recently Miss Arnold won Becond
nrlze In the contest of the Elgin Re
corder. Last year she won a trip to
Lone Beach In a contest given by
Portland newspaper. From past ex-
nerlence she knows what big reward
comes from comparatively little effort
in a newspaper con teBt, so she en
tered the Observer contest to win one
of the , Portland Rose Festival and
ocean beach trips.
Miss Arnold is to graduate from
the Elgin high school this year, so
she is a very busy girl. When she is
taking necessary walking exercises
morning and evening she will gather
subscriptions to the Observer, . so as
to win a vacation trip. She hopes that
members of the Christian church, of
which she is a member, will help her
with votes and that her father's many
