Who's afed?" or How do they l stand?" is the daily inquiry and when Swipes. the office boy, ventures as near
 the Rainbow Editor as he can be heard | to inquire Flows dem Buffalo guys to- day?" If not answered satisfactorily
 he retorts, "Aw, go on Rain-in-face, or
 whatever ye call yerseif; youse guys
 tlnks you're it. but say. I'll bet two
 bits I can tell who's gooin' ter win out
 'mongst the cops"
 During the last week an intense rival
 ry has sprung up between the patrol
 men ard the work that is beng done
 by the leader in the contest keeps his
 opponents employing Strategy Boards
 to locate the line of defense. while the
 second officer in the race is doing some
 stunts in the immediate neighborhood
 that prevent the leader from mapping.
 During the last half of the week, the
 third and fourth officers on the list
 moved up handsomely and yesterday
 they were moving along with hopes of
 being able to overtake the leaders.
 It will be noticed that nobody figures on losing the race. Nothing but victory IS in sight. That for which they are working bears an aspect so tempting, so alluring and So strongly coveted that there IS no though of anything but winning.
 . There is no halting or letting up in the stream of coupons that come day after day to The Advertiser office to be recorded to the edit of this or that contestant. 1t seems as though the number is limitless. Men and women. young and old, and children varying from the tiniest of tots to the youth with changing voice and ''the girl with her hair done up high for the first time." bring them in from early morn- ing until evening. The contestants themselves have worked hard for sue cess. but the hustling of the candidates is only an atom when compared with the combined efforts of the friends and the relations. the sisters and the cousins and the aunts."
