Special coupons Of votes will be

tion to the fact that subscriptions
paid now are worth double what they

40c will pay for The Sun for one

II paid now. The same subscription

II will be worth only 500 votes. Thus
you see the wisdom of sending in
your subscriptions early.

GROUND hog DAY.
IL Comes This Wcck-On Feb
ruary I'd.

Next Thursday. February I'd. is
Ground Hog day. and according
to the general belief II the animal
sees his shadow he will go back and
remain six weeks, for winter will not
be over. II is not generally known.
perhaps. that Indiana has an off
cial" ground hog day. A Renssel-
laer. Ind, telegram to the Chicago
Post says:
Indiana is expected to celebrate
next Thursday. February 2. 1t will
be the twenty-hfth anniversary OF
the passage by the state legislature
OF a bill to recognize ground hog day
and fix the date for all time.
Twenty-Five years ago a number
Of legislators were sitting in the old
Bates House at Indianapolis. An
argument started as to whether
ground hog day came on the LIST or
I'd of February. Some contended
that it was one date. while others
stuck to II that It was the other.
That morning. when the session
opened, Representative p. l.. d..
Mitchell. of Monroe county. intro
duced a bill in which It was set forth
that henceforth Mr.. G.. Hog was to
make his appearanceon the second
day of the second month of every
year and for all time. The bill
passed without discussion and with
out a dissenting vote. II was ap-
proved by the senate and the gov

Heavy Voting Marks the Con.
tests Today.
Interest In All the Contests Is In.
crcasing Every Day and Voting
Is Lively.
NOTES OF THE CONTESTS

The voting in the contests today
has been very heavy and the interest
is already intense in several of the
contests.
In the ladies contest in the city
Miss Hinton today took the lead with
Miss Nell Young a close second and
a number of other ladies following
closely behind.
In the Mems contest, Mr.. John
Austin, the well-known patrol driver,
is a new entry with a good number of
votes to his credit. Mr.. Russell
Long, Mr.. II. L. Thompson and MIR.
Willie Pierce added to their already
good totals.
The contest for the most popular
lady and pan on the rural routes are
creating as much interest as any of
them and will bear watching for ex-
element.
II you have any friends in these
contests vote for them and make
your friends vote for them. 1t costs
nothing and the prizes are certainly
well worth winning
IL you have any friends whom you
would like to enter in either of the
contests, do so at once. The longer
you wait the farther ahead the others
get. Then. too, subscriptions paid
now, as you will note elsewhere in
this article, are worth more now than
they will be next month.

BACK TO WORK
LEATHERwORKER UNION vOT-
ED REHkOPF's AN "OPEN
SHOP"
Two of the Other Shops Have Years
Agreement and May Not BE
Affected.

The Leatherworkers Union last
night voted to declare the various de-
partments OF the Il. Rehkopf plant
open shops" which virtually means.
It is claimed. that all the local leath-
erworking establishments can now
be open shops" in which the pro-
prietors can employ either union or
non-union men.
The Rehkopf shops several times
in past years had strikes, the last be-
ing year ago. The firm refused to
sign the scale fixed by the union, and
the union men all quit.
Non-union men were at once put
in, and the various departments. II
is claimed by the proprietors, have
since been running the same as usual.
and were not handicapped at any
time to any serious extent by the
strike. Many Of the union men Sc
cured employment in other shops
here, which had signed the scale
while others left the city and sought
work elsewhere.
The action OF the union last night
was quite a surprise. and while OH.
cials OF the union would not admit
anything today except that Rehkopf's
had been voted an open shop" some
Of the leatherworkers claim this
means that all the others can now be
open shops"
The result Of this will probably
enable a number OF good union men
to get steady work In the Rehkopf
shops who were barred before because
Of the ban under which the union
placed II. II is not believed that the
action last night Will affect other
shops, however. because two of the
four have already signed agreements
for a year, and seem TO be well sat.
ished, while the other concern only
recently began business, and no effort
has been made to organize It's work
men.
II Is reported that the unions hope
20 organize the non-union men In
all the local leatherworking shops
before the end Of the year. which
would place them in a better position
to treat with the employers than
they are now.
A committee called on Mr.. Il, Reh-
kopf, OF the Rehkopf firm, this morn
Ing and notified him Of the unions
action. II Is not given out what the
attitude of the arm will now be to-
wards the unions, as the proprietor
Is non-committal, and does not state
whether any OF the union men will
be employed or not.
