Monday, June 3, 1912. R. H. WISE. Sec.

Billings Brewing Co. LJoe it Read the particulars, study them carefully and then come down to The Gazette office and talk to the contest manager. There are a lot of other features not fully covered in this issue. We do not have room to tell of all the good things planned, all of which make It easier to interest your friends. Every young lady has a host of friends who are only too willing to assist her and indeed there are those not so young who often share in the good things.

Remember there is no limit on the age and no questions asked. All you need is to have some one known to the management to recommend you. AH we ask is that all contestants shall be residents of the state and of good moral character. Everything known to the contest business has been added to this to make it clean cut, square and pleasant work for the contestants. There will be lots of assistance, but there will be nothing done for one that is not done for every other one.

It's the most interesting, enthusiastic work ou ever did. Of course there are dull periois but the sun comes the next day; every one you meet wants he paper, was just waiting, saving their subscrip tions for you; you fairly take possession of the earth and you chide yourself for the indigo of the day be fore. There have been some notable con tests in this state, but it remained ior The Gazette to devise the biggest ever. The contest manager has had years of experience in many cities th-oughovt the west and the best developed in these rears of serious study will be at your disposal. It is different from any other of which you hae ever heard and has some new and original features that are simply irresiFtible If you are one of the busy toilers of this work-a-day world you Knov." how difficult it is to save money.

You have seen- many a good fello and his wife struggle for years, aye, almost a lifetime, to Jay aside a few dollars for that rainy day that is suTe to come, yet here is a space of 10 weeks and a day you can by a little extra effort largely in idle hours sain a clean sum equal or larger. The Gazette is admittedly the best paper on earth in a town the size of Billings "the biggest little town, in America" and it has a field witn a radius of over 200 miles. It's easy to sell The Gazette and you will enjoy the work. It's a great big visit with your friends and we pay you for your time. Wo want every man, woman ad child to get the contest spirit early.

You will get it before long for it is catching, contagious and you wild get it Start early and help your friend to the last. This is a splendid chance for a teacher that cannot afford to be during the summer. It affords her a change of scene and- more money than in the schoolroom. Come in and talk it over. APPLICATIONS 0T XOIEROUS.

NORTH YAKIMA, May 23. Less than 600 applications were filed at the local land office today for the 41 farms opened to entry, under the third unit of the Teton irrigation project of the government.

It was decided, however, to select the lucky applicants by lot from those wrho filed today. Mrs.
