$lO FOR BEST DREAMS You have had, no doubt, some very wierd and remarkable dreams. The Republican will run a dream contest, commencing at once and continuing until May Ist, unless it is decided to close it at an earlier period. Three prizes will be awarded for the best dreams, as follows: Best dream $5.00. Second best dream 3.00. Third best dream 2.00. The conditions are that the dreams shall not contain more than 250 words, shall be legibly written on one side of paper only, shall contain the name of the person writing them and shall be an actual dream. The further conditions are that this paper shall have the right to publish the contributions or not, as it sees fit, and that it shall not be obliged to pay anything for any of the dreams published unless they are awarded one of the prizes. All dreams must be mailed to “Dream Editor” of The Republican, and enclosed in envelopes in which there are no other communications. The latter condition is important, as often the dream letters may lhy for several days without being opened. Persons can offer as many dreams as they please; there is no restriction to the number of entries. You may have a more interesting dream tonight than any you have ever had before. Don’t try to embellish your dreams, nor to make a connected story of them. Dreams are best because of their peculiarities. The literary feature will be only secondary in the prize judging; a remarkable dream plainly written will have the best chance. Old and young, men and women, boys and girls, are all eligible in this contest. All have had dreams. Write yours and send them to the “DREAM EDITOR,” The Republican, Rensselaer, Indiana.
