THERE ARE SIXTEEN PURSES OF GOLD ALL TOLD
On pages 6 and 7 of this issue of the give to the persons who finds all or,
Conshohocken Recorder to-duy will be
found the great Educational contest,
which we told you about in last Fri-day's
paper. We know our large army
of readers will welcome It, and will be
very much surprised when they finish
reading this rather long but Interest-ing
article.
Every town of any consequence at
the present time is boosting its own
place. The Conshohocken Recorder is,
and has always been a booster for
home enterprise, and wo think these
contests we are Just starting will glvo
Conshohocken and its business enter-prises
the greatest advertisement she
has had for many a lay.
Nothing will advertise a town more
than the town's paper. The Consho-hocken
Recorder this trip Is going to
do Its level best to more widely adver-tise
homo interests. ,
Now, then, to our many readers
we desire to call your attention to the
one and a half pages of- advertise-.
On Pages 6 and 7 where aro found
many displays ads, you will notice, is
named contest No. 1. This Is so
marked on the top of the return
blank. This blank when returned must
only be used in connection wdth this
page's missing word. See rules In
center of page. Read them carefully.
On page 0, this contest will be
known in our Issue of Friday as page 2
This will also bo found embodied on
the return blank. See these rules also.
Thus two separate contests present
themselves to you.
These will run every Tuesday and
Friday for the next 13 weeks. From
contest 1 and from one of the adver-tisements
only the contest editor has
intentionally omitted one word. This
"word begins with P. and ends wlthY.
The word taken out of a certain ad-vertisements
on page 6 or 7 known as
contest page.
The whole word omitted makes the
sentence grammatically wrong. Dor
Instance if we had a sentece like this
the most of the words at the end of 13
weeks $5U.OO In gold, for contest
marked 1 and $50.00 in gold will be
awarded to the contest marked -. The
awards for each page are sub-divided
as follows: To the person finding all
or the most of the 13 words (two for
each week), $25.00 in gold will he
awarded to the person finding the
most words, and to the second highest
$15.00 in gold; to the third $5.00 In
gold and five one-dollar awurds to the
next five highest.
Then the other $50.00 In gold will be
sub-divided the same as in Contest
No. 1. In the event of a tie in either
case, the prize will be equally divided.
This is plain, isn't It? Now follow
out the rules and the advice given
you here and you cannot go astray.
Each succeeding week the editor
will tell you In a flrst-pngewritc-up
what the missing word was, and be-tween
what words it was omitted, and
the merchant's advertisement from
where it has been omitted. The word
also will be put back in the advertise-ment
the following week, so as to let
you see from where It had been re-moved.
Then we will proceed in the
write-up und also In the rules to tell
you what the. missing word for the
new week begins and ends with oil
each page.
We do not know of any easier way
you can win a nice purse of real gold.
Any one can enter the contest. The
only thing you will have to do will
be to get The Cosnhohocken Recorder
and then proceed to hunt for the
word. This will demonstrate what
kind of a hunter you really are.
Now if you should happen to miss
three or four words do not get dis- '

The compensation award made to
Joseph A. and '.. ary Botto of Spring

against W. C. Hamilton & Sons inc.,
for the death of their son Francis

will readily see that tho word "to" lias

the word ommitted this week bcgin3
with a T and ends wth an O. This is
the cue simply how to find the Word.
You will then begin to start in at
the top or the last Ad in this contest
and re id every advertisement to find
out where this missing word belongs.

will find a blank on the page mark d

out carefully. We want to sny to you

blank out until every member of the
family have gone carefully over the
pace, and if each member of the fam-ily
arrives at the name conclusion as
to the same word then you may de-pend

don't fill out either blank until this

given, according to the rules, full six
days In which to find the word and get
In your answer.
The word this week In each contest
has been made very easy so as to get
you all started right. Read tho rules
governing the contest over carefully,
so that there will be no mistake of
your getting in wrong. This is impor-tant.
The word removed will not be
a superfluous word, but one absolutely
needed to make a correct sentence
when properly placed, and will make
the sentence absolutely wrong when
omitted. Now remember there Is but
one word left out of one advertisement
on each contest that spoils the mean-ing
of the sentence.
Another word will be ommitted on
Friday, and by the way, it may be
omitted from the same advertisement
more than once, so you had better bo
on your guard and read every word
In every advertisement each time, or
you may miss It.
Now the same conditions apply on
contest two (so marked), with the ex-ception
that the word omitted from
contest 2 Is a different word, and to
day ths word, as we have said above,
starts with R and ends with D. So
you see you have two different words,
one from each contest. Always be
sure to look at the rules each week, it
will always tell you what the words
missing begin and end with. That Is,
the letters of tho word.

Synopsis:
When Mr. Alexander Dabbleton, who
has been suddenly seized with an
economical streak, comes home one
evening, he finds his young wife In
the act of looking over one of her
dresses which she is planning to send
to the dressmaker for alterations. He
suggests that she do it herself.
After some discussion and consid-erable
pouting on the part of Mrs.
Dabbleton, a 'finished school' product,
It is decided that she will alter the
dress herself. She uses Alexander for
her 'dummy' and begins to drape the
skirt on him.
While Mrs. Dabbleton Is out of the
room for a few minutes, a frivolous
young married couple, Mr. and Mrs.
Plover, comes in. They see Mr. Dab-bleton
robed in his wife's dress and
at once believe him to be Insane.
They send a doctor to the house
who makes matters considerably worse
and by the end of the play, poor Mr.
Dabbleton almost believes he is in-sane
and decides for good and all that
economy is not always wealth. Mag-gie,
the Irish maid, with her wit and
humor, gives lively interest to the
play.

Esther Olbert, Clyde Moser, Lee
