CHILDREN'S GOLDEN COMPETITION

_ . v Twenty sovereigns! Twenty' sovereigns may prove your golden read to success. Twenty sorc-reigns. will be a splendid nest-egg for some industrious kiddie. Twenty sovereigns would start a handsome bank account for a little boy or' girl.

In one month the Children's ' Golden Competition will come to a close and the answers placed with the judges, who will announce the winners on the morning of July 7th. INo answers will be accepted after June 30th. With but fou.ll weeks in which to work you should get busy and keep busy.
