$100 PRIZE STORY

In order to encourage our readers to literary effort, we have decided to offer a cash prize of $100 for the best short story for young people, from one to five thousand words in length, suitable for publication in this magazine. Full particulars in regard to this offer will be found in the advertising pages of this issue. The offer is confined exclusively to subscribers of Youth, and we hope to see a large number of stories entered from them for competition.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS

If you are pleased with Youth, we hope you will tell your friends about it, and thus aid very substantially in increasing our circle of acquaintances. In case you have any criticisms or suggestions, we shall be very glad to receive them. Youth is published in the interest of its subscribers, and while we have many ideas which we will carry out in the immediate future, we would be glad, nevertheless, to receive the criticism and advice of our subscribers. It is our purpose, as far as possible, to meet their views.

50c. FOR TWENTY-FIVE NAMES

Anyone who will send us the names and addresses of twenty-five of his friends, boys or girls, and fifty cents additional, will receive a year’s subscription to Youth. The magazine will be sent to any desired address. This is a very easy way for any person, young or old, to obtain a year’s subscription. We wish the twenty-five names for the sole purpose of distributing sample copies of Youth. They will be put to no other use, so that no one need have any hesitation in sending the list.

AN EASY WAY TO EARN MONEY

In order to increase the circulation of Youth as rapidly as possible, we have decided to make some exceptional inducements to boys and girls to obtain subscriptions. The work can be done after school hours, and on Saturdays and holidays. The arrangement we make for doing the canvassing renders the work very agreeable, and the commission offered is so large that it cannot fail to be an inducement.

To such of our readers as would like to earn a considerable sum of money with little effort, we suggest that they send us their names and addresses, and we will at once forward full particulars.
