test on bet, and who have the where
with to purchase their grand prizes
the appearance of names Of contest
ants who have been married and now
live in other cities, even going SO far
as to insert the name of young lady
who died several months ago-all these
go to make UP one vast budget of re-

and stability to the bunc's copy
righted" contest than there is to some
other departments of the sheet.
We Are Waiting.
Charges that were made in the bunc

draw the attention of the interested
public from the real issue, the bunc

regarding this. She told the person
speaking that she did not care to run
in the contest and further than that, |
nothing was said.
Miss Amy Klum was questioned this |
