friends and friends their trade, and
induce others to trade with the mer-
chants named below and have them
issue the coupons to your credit.
However, you must remember
that every merchant who partici-
pates in this contest is pledged to
be absolutely impartial and will
only issue coupons when they are
called for by the purchaser, who
must state to whose credit they
should go. The merchant will then
issue and hand the coupon to the
purchaser, who in turn will de-
posit it in the ballot box. In
this way the purchaser will be
the only one to say to whom the
votes shall be issued. Therefore
contestants should not go to the
merchants for help, but instead
should go to the purchaser.

stores and any one interested, or
having a friend whom they would
like to help, can secure these
coupons absolutely free when
making purchases and deposit
them in the ballot box to the
credit of their favorite. Or if
you know Of anyone you would like
to see entered in the contest you
can depost these coupons to his or
her credit. These coupons will
be taken up by the contest man
ager and placed in a general bal
lot box with the regular publish
er's coupons, and this ballot box

countersigned by them and also
by the contest manager, and each
will show the party making the
purchase, and the amount and

clerks unbeknown to the proprie-
tors. The judges will also have
the right to investigate any ques-

that there was no actual purchase

A prominent New York physician
was sent for by rich but avaricious
man who in some way had dislocated
his jaw. The young surgeon promptly
put the member In place. and the man
was profuse in his thanks. Then he
asked carelessly:
"What is your bill. doctor?"
FIFTY dollars. SIR" was the answer.
WHAT" cried the man, and In say
Ing 1t he opened his mouth so wide as
to dislocate his jaw second time. The
surgeon again put things to rights.

again asked the patient.

tor. "but now it is $100r'
The man started to open his mouth
again. but thought better of 1t and
paid the bill without a word.

Prevention OF Cure.

While the government is still pur-
suing its dificult ask Of d~issolving
combinations charged with exercising
monopolies in restraint Of trade, other
giant interests are seeking to entrench
themselves, and the fact that in one
such case the minority is striving to
demonstrate its usefulness may be re-
garded as a helping hand. A minority
usually is hopeless, but in the pro-
posed telephone-telegraph merger Il
promises to be something of a factor.
Having disclosed a condition precedent
to merging that calls for the consent
of 80 per cent of the stockholders, the
opposing interests are rather confident
of accomplishing their object, all
though this feature Of the old voting
trust agreement must have been in
vestigated by the mergers before they
embarked on the enterprise.
However. If combination is a bad
thing for public policy, as has been
demonstrated in some notable cases,
then the opponents are taking the
right course in seeking to prevent now,
rather than wait till the combine has
been contaminated, when even more
serious difficulty would doubtless be
found in attempting a cure. The in
dependent telephone companies we're
established because Of the popular de-
mand for competition, and the con-
tinued operation in all probability
will not be abandoned without a
thorough test of the legal precautions
originally undertaken to prevent just
such a merger as that now threatened.
