Assuredly the chances of winning a .very substantial prize are unusually attractive when it is considered that amongst them are several thousand sheep, motor cars, grand pianos, fur coats, furniture, and a host of other valuable and desirable commodities. The tickets are on sale throughout the Dominion and there is no difficulty in obtaining as many as desired.
