You are starting in the third week
of the contest.
I have been asked several» questions
which I will answer, so all may under-
stand: .
First must contestants register at
all stores. “Yes." ‘
second. must they purchase some-
thing from each participant "No."
There Is no compulsion, but each of
you should not only patronize all the
merchant's businegpes‘ in the cards,
and get, as many of your relatives and
friends as you can to trade at the
the store giving out votes: do not sin-
gle out one, but work far all equally.
Third is any one or more being
.avored by the participants? I do not
believe they are: complaints have
reached me that some are buying at
wholesale and voting for some one
In large numbers, lthus enabling one
or more to get votes in such numbers
that the others harp no chance to win.
I do not believe this‘ls true: even were
it in part true. do riot get discouraged.
I will give all an equal chance the
second and third months if not before
an opportunity will be given each of
you to get votes enough by 11 very
small outlay to even up with the high
est. 1
Fourth: It is said that certain mer~‘
chants not in this contest are receiv-
ing a large number of votes and vot-
ing them for one contestant: this i
cannot stop. but you can. Suppoae a
grocerymuu, we will say 11 Mr. 'l‘hom
as uptown, is receiving 500 or 000
votes per day and giving them all
to one girl or boy, to the prejudice of
all other customers: there are about
100 contestants.“ is safe to say to or
is or more of the 1111111111111 interested
are new trading at that store; do you
believe if all these transferred their
patronage to Mr Pitch. who is giving
out votes. his. 'I‘ would continue to
favor that one Instead of using all
alike? Try It the same is true of
II drug store or in any other line. One
boy I know of is going at it right, He
goes to all his friends and acquain-
tances and says, "i want to win that
rig. I do not ask you t trade at
any one store giving votes. but at all,
and give me your votes, or vote them
for me." He will come pretty nearl
winning If he does not succeed.

The watchfulness of James E. Pow-

Alone. unacquuinted with the dc—
tuils of baggage transfer from main:
to ilnnbury lines, Cissey accepted the}
kind offer of her chance friend to as-‘1
slst her at South Norwaik. Here they
alighted.
Mr. Powers, who travels for the road
in the baggage department, had seen
the little incident as it progressed.

depot he out Mr. Rooney on guard, tell
