TIN CANS PH/WG UP
OrdWay Boys Have Been Busy
For Several Days

Immediately after the NEW ERA
was issued last week, the boys began
the work OF gathering together their
neighburs' tin cans, buttlrs, broken
dishes, baling wires and discarded
articles OF all kinds. They did not
know at that time what the prizes
would be but were confident their
labnrs would be rewarded. Piles OF
cans may be seen in each neighbor-
hood that are growing steadily and
already the contest promises to eclipse
the one held in 1907 when 33, 900 cans
were piled around the flag pole on the
principal street Of the town.
Many OF the boys are working to-
gethcr and will probably divide the
prize among them. The back alleys
are beginning to show the effects Of
the boys visit, but some Of them are
left strewn with cans that have fallen
from the loads OF the too enthusiastic
ones who look for the big piles and
fail To notice the scattering ones that
will eventually get into the heap.
The committee has secured the
prizes to be given by the merchants
and have arranged them in the follow
ing order:
First prize, cash 81. 90
Second prize, cash. 900. .... 81 90
Special prize for baling wires 81 90
Fourth prize, pr. SuntiOwer shoes $50
Gallavan Bros.
Fifth prize, pair $3.50 shoes. 81 so

Sixth prize, pair sl.50 gloves .sl.5o

Seventh prize. one watch sl.5O

Eighth, catcher's glove .... 81. %
II. l.. Martin.
Ninth prize, base ball 25

Tenth prize, 81 in merchandise 81 90
Cash Bazaar.
Eleventh prize, base ball bat. ..S so
Ordway Hardware Il Furniture Co.
Twelfth prize, catcher's mit.....s 80
IL. l.. Martln.
Wires Of all kinds have proven such
Il nuisance on the streets and In the
alleys that the committee decided to
offer special prize for the greatest
number OF them brought in on Tin
Can Day. and have made this prize
$500 in cash.
Boys caught in the act or reported
to have hauled in cans from dump
piles will be barred from the contest,
so govern yourselves accordingly, boys.
As stated last week, the contestants
would have number OF days to work
before and after school and on Satur-
days. Some have been out Of school
on certain days and were discovered
working for the prizes. This will not
be tolerated and offenders will be
barred from the contest IL caught at
it. A special dispcnsation was grant
ed for Thursday and Friday on account
of the examinations being held on
those days and the boys improved the
opportunity to add to their piles Of
rubbish.
Don't forget the old, worn-out
brooms, pieces OF broken dishes,
bottles, tin can lids and the smaller
articles, boys.
The prizes will be on display in the
New ERA window soon.
Each OF the boys are requested to
come in Saturday (omorrow) ana reg
lister their names and the names OF
their helpers. Come into the New
Era Office any time Saturday.

PROTEST AGAINST GLOVE

Detroit Stores Secure Signatures OF

FORECAST OF COMING
CONGRESSIONAL WEEK

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
will begin It's consideration o fthe Pay
ne tarln bill early this week and be-
cause of the large number OF changes
which have been made in IL by the
senate committee on finance, ii prob
ably will henceforth be known as the
Payne-Aldrich bill.
1t Is expected the measure will be
reported to the senate, on Tuesday, but
the day cannot be definitely fixed until
after a meeting of the full committee
on finance tomorrow. The bill as orig
inally introduced In the house has
has been under consideration at the
hands of both the majority and minor
ity members OF the finance committee,
but so far there has not been jolnta
meeting 10 consider II. The Republi'
can majority has assumed the right
to Indicate the senate's attitude toward
the bill, so that whatever amendments
may be suggested when 1t is returned
to the senate, will be the result of
their laborS.
In all probability the Democrats Will
make little or no objection to the re-
porting Of the bill by the Republicans.
1t is not expected great many set
speeches will be made in the senate.
Most of the discussion by the Demo
Gratis will be upon the merits of amend
ments which will be offered The gem
eral policy of Republican members Will
be TO do very little talking. The pre-
vailing opinion is that no less than a
month Will be required for the con-
sidcration OF the bill by the senate
The house, while the senate is wrest-
ling with the tariff bill, will meet only
on Mondays and Thursdays. when the
census bill, as passed by the senate,
will receive attention, but little or no
other business will be undertaken.
Speaker Cannon will begin to prepare
for the appointment of the house stand
ing committees which probably VIII be
announced prior to the final adjourn
mcnt OF the extra session.
