Boma vary clavar contestants have begun
what they eaJl a "correspondence eouraa"

ures. They are trying the pictures on their
friends, and tha friends ara glad to help.
Why do you not put the picture or pict
ures that worry you Into an envelope and
man tbem to some friend, with a note ask
ing that friend If ha can Imagine what title
Uder heaven that picture represent!?
Friends Will B Plemaed.
Tour friend will be pleased at bavins; tha
natter ut up to his Judgment, and will
five you tha best answer In him. Ha will
put a lot of time and thought to the tsak
of solving the picture, and may glva. you
the correct title.
It's a good plan for getting the beat Judg
ment of your best friends. A number of
Aontestanta ara doing It
Why not you?
Two heada ara better than one In The
Bea's great Booklovers' oontest Just as well
as any ether place.
Twa heads should contain mora book
titles than one; two heads should show
mora Insight and shrewdness than ona
Four heads ought to contain Juat four
Omea as many book titles, four times as
auoh Insight and shrewdness as one.
And tha more heada you get to working
on your pictures In the Booklovers' contsst,
tha mora chance you should have of win
ning ona of those superb prises, the auto
mobile, tha piano player, the phonograph,
or tha lot
la Envelope to Friend.
Bnolone the picture that Is worrying you
fa an envelope and send It to soma friend.
With tha picture send a letter, somewhat
as follows:
Dear 80 and Ho: t would like you to
help me solve this picture In The Bee's
Booklover s Contest. The picture repre
sent the title of soma well known book.
y.? ,lu' m' Rn lda to wn tht
title Is? I'lesse aend the picture back to
me aa soon ss possible, with your sugges
tions, I will appreciate whatever assis
tance you can give me In solving this
pioturo.

It'g a simple plan for obtaining assis
tance in solving the picture, but It s an
effective one.
Tou will be surprised and pleased to find
tha Interest your friends will take In help
ing you solve the pictures, and you will
be even more surprised, and even more
pleased, to find the apt titles that your I
friends will suggest for the pictures.
A contest often gets on one line of
thought In striving to solve the pictures,
and a friend often looks at the picture
from an entirely different point of view.
Tou can get the best Judgment of many
friends on many pictures by following this
simple correspondence plan. They wII
welcome the diversion, snd bo Klad to
work over the pictures you send them.
Why not give this plan a trial?
It may result in bringing you the correct
tltlea to many pictures that are now pu
Ung you.
For Who fan Tell?
Whether coupons filed In by hand or by
typewriter will ho adjudged neater is not
something thst the contest editor can fore
cast. The five prominent citizens, whoae
names will be announced very soon, to be
Judges of this contest will perhaps make
up their minds as to that. It has been
argued by contestants that It would not
bo fair to a large percentage of the con-"
testants If typewriting was adjudged
neater than handwriting, because moat of
the contestants do not poaneu typewrit
ers. But In addition to writing, remember,
there ara qualification that make for
neatness. If you wish to have your pic
tures and coupons Judged neat," do not
.wrinkle, tear or soil them. The' contes
tant who desire to make them Inlo a
nook can du so. Do anything you want
to tha way of making them neat In ap
reereno. without Interfering with the
work of oountlng them and checking up
tha answer.
Co not separate the coupon from the
Picture. Read the rules. It Is explicitly
stated there that the pictures and coupons
must not be separated, that they must bs
ont In together.

POCATBLJA3, Idaho, May .-That Ban
nock county should and will collect a
creditable exhibit of soil products for
placing at the great Omaha I -and Pro
duct exposition, to be held In October of
this year. Is the firm belief of the board
of governors of the Pocatello Commer
cial club, who have under consideration
a plan to begin at once the gathering of
such an exhibit and the payment of cash
prises to Bannock county farmers for the
best specimens. A club commluee con
sisting of Colonel J. M. lngereoll, E. C.
White, F. R. Burrus. C. W. tlrav and C.
A. Valentine baa the work In charge.
For years and years Bannock county
has been behind all other Idaho counties
In the matter of exhibit at fairs and
expositions not because this favored sec
tion of the state Is not a rich a others
In all the various product of the soil,
but because there ha bn a lack of
organisation In gathering aamDlea. The
nearest approach to a creditable exhibit
waa gathered for the Seattle exposition,
and the greatest credit for that success
1 due C W. dray, who privately gath
ered some attractive specimen of fruits,
grains, grasses and minerals, whloh were
added to by the Commercial club.
A number of member of the club have
signified their willingness to contribute
liberally toward a fund from which to
pay cash prizes. Colonel Ingeraoll alone
offering S26. Cash prise would encour

result In an excellent advertisement of

WHEN crossing a street on which there are street car tracks,
whether you are walking or iriving, it behooves you td
look up and see that the tracks are clear before you attempt to
cross. Don't ever run across the track in front of a moving car
in yonr eagernef. to 6ave a second or two a Blip or a stumble
and the car is upon you before you can regain your feet. Do not
alJow yourself to become absent minded on the streets, it is too
