OFFEIt CLOSES MAY 31, 1913
Recognizing the unquestioned merit of the movement by the county ed
ucational authorities and the patrons and the pupils of the different
schools to comply with requirements, and to make their schools standard
in every respect, and being thoroughly imbued with a desire to assist in
every possible way in this laudable effort, the management of The Ob
server has decided to offer a series of prizes which will aid in this work.
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 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

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

Picture For Your School

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

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

sented absolutely without cost.

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
