McDavis) To Our Readers: We wish to take this opportunity to inform our readers that this Contest; sponsored by The Omaha Guide and The AMVETS’ Post No. II, was conceived purely for the purpose of “Glorifying Our Young Womanhood, and to stimulate the interest of our younger set.” This Contest should have a definite part in the life of your community, and should have the active support of every Social and Civic Organization. The Omaha Guide and The AMVETS wish to invite all other organizations and individuals to join in making this 1st Annual affair a success, in order to establish a precedent for such an affair to which our group may look forward to each year and which it is hoped may encourage others. With the advent of this Contest, the Omaha Guide and The AMVETS, mark a milestone in endeavor. A vowed pur pose to make this one long to be remembered. But that is only half the story. To assure the perman ency of this venture, we must have the active help and coop eration of the whole community. There is only one way you can help, and that is by picking a Candidate and Voting. Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York and several other large cities, have concluded successful contests. Surely that should be an added stimulus to us. The Omaha Guide and The AMVETS are proud to be co sponsors of such a worthwhile undertaking. To make this Contest a success, entails hardwork and in itiative. This venture can be just as successful as we make it, and we need the publicity and favorable public opinion, and prestige that will come to Our City, through it. It seemes safe to predict that the needed community-wide as sisance, will be forhconiing. The advantages, both temporary and permanent, to be de rived from it, are such that it should appeal to all of us. LET'S GET OUT ATSD VOTE!!!
