Big Premium Offer 



A number of premiums were offered last year and the result was so sat- 

 isfactory that we have decided to make a larger offer now. We want 



500 A^eTV Suksoribers 



before the next issue. Note the magnificent offer made by Wilmon New- 

 ell of Ames, of a finely mounted Snowy Owl, cash value of which is 



^15.00 



to the person obtaining the largest number of subscribers. This premium 

 will not be given to any person securing less than forty subscribers. 

 Ajzain, Mr Carl Fritz Henning, of Boone, makes 



A.n other Big Offer 



as follows : "To the person securing the largest number of subscribers to 

 the IOWA ORNITHOLOGIST I offer the prize, $5.00 worth of sets, in- 

 cluding a set of Krider's Hawk, i^. which was offered by Pres. Brown 

 last year, and which 1 had the pleasure of securing. The person receiv- 

 ing the prize offered by Mr. Newell liowever, will be barred from receiv- 

 ing this one." In both the above offers the securing of a iiew active 

 member to the Association shall count as two subscriptions, and the se- 

 curing of a new associate member, as one subscription. Both offers will 

 close June 1, 1898. Show this issue to your friends and you will have no 

 trouble in securing siibscribers. Go to work at once, do not wait until 

 someone else has secured all the subscribers in your neighborhood.
