0ut-of-Town Advantages.
The territory ut-or.t town contest

{ nccS as in the immediate centre of
T Electric City. for this reason: Al

their locality. yet there will also he
fewer participants in the contest.
Their circle of friends and acquaint-
anccS will be proportionatcly as large.
Besides tn" fact that they will have u
chance TO solicit their friends in the
suburban towns. there will be no
restrictions placed upon any one. All
participants will be- free to go where
they ar" pleased 10 canvass. M one

nlcnt.
The Tribur" Intends this to be as
fair contest as last years was and
no undue ravors will be shown to amy
