been placed on sale in all the grocery
stores of st. Paul. big and small, a
stock of this powder. 1t will be sold
in the regular way, except that most of
the money goes to the ElkS carnival.

turers of Hunts Perfect" baking pow
der. with the purpose of introducing 1t

in short to this: The baking powder
Will be sold by the groceFs for the bene-
fit of the carnival. The manufacturers

The committee urges every one, Elks or

wearing straw hats with purple ribbons
for the next month. 1t is st. Paul af-
fair and St Paul should join in making
success of an enterprise which will bring
thousands of people to the city
Business men will avoid being imposed
upon if they will remember that only
the official programme will be allowed
circulation in or about the grounds. The
Elks publish their programme them
selves, having placed 1t in charge of Mf'

who alone, personally. or through his rep
resentatives, can contract for space In
the publication be made Any other pro
gramme will not be allowed in ereula-
ton.
No effort is being spared to bring in the
largest crowd st. Paul has ever seen. Five
men have been travelling for two weeks
past exclusively for the purpose of post
ing and circulating advertising matter.
Hundreds of newspapers are heraiding
the carnival, which the committee anticl-
pate will bring more than quarter of a
million people to Cedar street during the
two weeks.
The parade the opening day, June Is,
will be stupendous affair, and especially
so If the day is a half holiday, as now
seems probable.
