From The Wichita Beacon (Wichita, Kansas), December 1, 1920, Wednesday, Page 11 --
Novel Way of Earning One Dollar.Little Miss Mildred Surpluss, who resides on Rural Route No. 4 at Eldorado, has a way of earning money which not only adds to her store of funds but of knowledge as well. According to a letter from Mildred she says that at the beginning of school her aunt told her that every 100 she got on her report card she would give her a half dollar. As a result Mildred is getting a dollar and a half every six weeks.
Mildred Surpluss (1910-1987) was my grandaunt on my mom's maternal side.
