One of the requirements necessary to the standardization of any school is a picture for the school room, and a new picture must be secured each year. The Observer will undertake to supply these pictures with out cost to the schools and, at the same time, offers to the pupils an op portunity to earn money for themselves by securing subscribers to this newspaper. l!;ro is lb Ci'fcrr-Rod it CsrefeBy The Observer will give away, to every school in the county, and to ev ery grade in the graded and high schools, a series of six beautiful pic tures retailing at regular prices from $6 to $50, and the only requirement will be a certain number of subscribers to this newspaper at the regular rates, as ft) lows: . -. For IS yearly subscriptions, picture worth For 20 " " " " For 25 " u it $6.00 8.00 10.00 For 35 " .' " . " " " 15.00 For 50 ' " v'- " ' - " " 25.00 For 100 i " " " 0.00 In connection with this offer we will also allow, credits on the renewal of old subscriptions, at the rate of two for one that is, every old sub scriber who pays two years subscription will be credited as one subscrib er on the list for the picture premium. In other words, if the school desiring any of the above pictures, say the. $6 one for example, should bring to this office, five new subscriptions, and payments which total 20 years from old or present subs'eribers, that school would be entitled to the picture; this example will hold good for any picture in the list. Eemember These Are Not Cheap Pictures, but the Same Quality Usually P and May be Seen on Display at J. C Hayter's Book Store i lased b alias. y the i i i 3 Commicsions Paid Pupils for New Subscribers In addition to the above premiums offered to the school, The Observer will give every pupil 15 per cent in cash for eVery new subscripiton se cured, and 20 per cent for every dollar on subscription paid by old sub scribers, thus every pupil who takes a part in securing a fine new picture for the school room, will also earn some money for himself. In other words, where a school decides to make an effort to secure the $6 picture, the pupils of thai school who secure the subscribers will receive $1.85 in cash commissions, or the school which secures the $10 picture would be entitled to $5.60 in cash commissions to be distributed among the pupils who secured the new names, and so on through the list. Where the pay ment of money on old subscriptions is secured, and renewals are made, the commission paid will be 20 per cent in every case. A Chance For Every Boy and Girl to Earn Their Own Spending Money Earn . Money While Vorking For a Picture For Your School The Observer is the leading newspaper of the county, It prints the news while it is news and is issued twice each week. The regular sub scription price is $1.50"per year and it is a stipulation of this pri'ze offer ing that all new subscriptions must be accompanied by : the cash. The price for six months subscriptions is 75 cents and these will be accepted also, but it will, of course, require twice as many of them to secure the picture. , t A This Offer is Open to Every School, High School or College or Other Educational Institution in County, Also to Churches, Clubs, Private Homes, Hotels, or Others. All that is necessary to secure the prizes is to bring to this office the number of subscribers noted in every class and the picture will be pre sented absolutely without cost. May Choose Your Own Pictures When you have decided on the quality of the picture you want and bring to this office the requisite number of subscribers, you may call at Mr. Hayter's book store and select any subject you choose in that class, and it will be furnished. , CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER There are no conditions to this of fer other than those set forth in this advertisement. It is not a contest, and there are no strings of any kind attached to it.

The same offer will hold good for one picture or a half dozen pictures for every school and for every room or grade in a graded school. The prin cipal question is for the pupils of each school and each grade to deter mine which picture they want and then rustle the subscribers to secure it.

This Olfer will be Open Until May 31 1913 Statements of due subscription accounts will be mailed to subscribers in every district in the county that decides to take up this offer, thus each subscriber will know how he stands on our books, and by payment of arrearages and one year or six months in advance, will thus assist to ward the securing of a picture for their school. emember, The Pict F1EE We do not ask a cent for them we simply offer them for a club of a certain number of subscribers to this newspaper at the regular subscrip tion, price, and our only object is to assist in the standardization of the schools of the county and, at the same time, to place this newspaper in every home in the county. We are also offering an opportunity for the pupils to earn some money for themselves while doing it. The task is asy. It will not be difficult to get your parents or your friends who are interested in the sehools to subscribe for the paper and if they are al ready subscribers, they will gladly renew for another year and pay back subscriptions in order to help along the good work. Try it, anyway but, if by any chance you should fail in your efforts, remember that you will still be entitled to a commission on every dollar you turn into this oflice on subscription, old or new. f ! i .! j iciin!
