First, there’s no string on this contest. Anybody
interested in horses or mules is urged to send in an
answer. All I ask is that you don’t use more than
100 words, and that you be sure to mention
“Checkerboard Bags” (in which Purina Feeds are
always packed). Now, don’t be afraid—come on
in everybody! The best answers take the prizes—
regardless of fancy language or swell handwriting.
Plain “Horse Sense’’ ideas on a post card may win.
Second, sign your name plainly, and also tell me
the name of your feed dealer.
Third, mail your guess on or before National Maud
Purina Day. That is February 25th. — I selected
it specially because my favorite feed, Purina
O-Molene, saves my owner 25% of his feed.
Purina O-Molene is wonderful feed for mules and
horses. I know, ’cause I’m a mule myself. It is
economical, because I like it, and assimilate all of
' it that 1 cat. I never have trouble digesting all of
rny O-Molene. AIs

Eat Switow Candy
Candy is a food. The
human system needs it.
Uncle Sam gives each
doughboy half a pound of
candy every ten days.
Gives it in rations as food
