Tribune adds prizes in rural paper contest

The Rural Newspaper contest sponsored by the Ipswich Tribune has been entered into with much enthusiasm by the rural schools of Edmunds County. It is taken on such proportion that we decided to offer a second and third prize.

The first prize is a large Websters International Dictionary, the second prize, a Library of Pioneering and Woodcraft set of six volumes by Ernest Thompson Seton.

This is a set of fascinating books, which unfolds the secrets of the great outdoors. They are highly illustrated.

The third prize is a picture-“The Blue Boy” by Gainsborough.

We have also decided that any rural school in Edmunds County entering three issues of their paper, namely the October, November and December copies and complying with the other rules of the contest as published in the Ipswich Tribune, will be considered a contestant.

January 1, 1930 is the zero hour for all issues to be in.

We have the prizes on display in the front windows of the Tribune office. Also, a number of the papers entered. Be sure to look at them when in town
