details be presented before the

will include items to be sold at
the proposed co-op, how the prof
its would be used, how the store
would be managed, what kind of
help would be employed and who
would comprise the board of di
rectors.

by-laws, to be drawn up by his
committee, will probably model

Contest Continues;
Prizes Increase
Since no one guessed the iden
tity of the "thing" from yester
day's clues in the "It's in the Ads"
contest, today's prize of an auto
matic folding iron from the Hart
man Electric Company will be
added to yesterday's nrize of four
Essley shirts.
A leather case six inches by
nine inches with a built-in sew
ing kit encloses the iron. The kit
and iron is valued at $12.50.
To clear up some confusion that
arose from yesterday's explana
tion, the following is an example
of a complete group of clues.
The clues will run for a number
of days like this--it's real. it's im
mortal, it exists, it's mineral. it
started in 1855, it's stone, it's
"Old." The answer is Old Main.
Remember, all clues lead to the
identity of one "thing."
