81. mARY'S SCHOOL Is
CASTING A BIG VOTE
Large Orders for Evening News Among
Schools Valiant Working Friends--Third
Weeks Voting Well Under Way.

The friends OF st. Mary's school,
South Amboy, as was expected, are
falling into line for this worthy con-
testant with a snap and vim which
bids Ill to contemporary workers If
they lag a moment in the good
work. A large number have SEN in
their orders for the EVENING
NEWS to be sent to their homes
regularly and it goes without saying
that these workers are voting in the
NEWS coupon clipper is a merchant
voter n~inety-nine times out of a
hundred. The wise worker knows
full well that each and every oppor-
tunity should be embraced If the
same policy is pursued, and you can
rest assured the friends Of st. Mary's
school won't overlook the little one
vote at the New York s and 10-cent
store or the thousands at Albert
Icons furniture store. They are
hustlers from the sound OF the gong
to the last call. A few hundred
pupils are a tremendous army when
organized and there is an active
bunch housed away in st. Mary's
each school day. Remember that
the fourth week the thirty leaders
r accepted as the permanent con-
testants, SO look out that your favor
lite is numbered among the favored
ones.
The great contest still goes bound
ing onward and upward, one day
suggesting the certainty of leader
ship for a particular contestant, only
to be reversed in favor OF another
the next day.
All OF this is due to the fact that
everybody has the habit. The old,
the young. the great, the small, are
pe~rsistently demanding the privilege
OF voting. New customers are stead
lily turning their faces to the contest
merchants.
Heretofore readers of divers pa

that 1t Is the only policy which will
bring success. Why shouldn't they?
The contest merchant sells his
goods at the same price hat others
do. The EVENING NEWS repre-
sents asyalue that cannot be substi-
tuted, for it is teeming with all the
best local and national news items.
The great library contest has
been Instrumental in inaugurating
innumerable~ contests within the
community. Institutions are giving
prizes to the members securing the
largest number of EVENING NEWS
amusing and surprising il one could
peep into some secret place and OBJ
serve the coupons extracted and
carefully tucked away.
However, bundles of them are be-
ing deposited each week at Levine's
Department Store. The forces work
ing in behalf of the Y. M. H. A. and
the High school are thoroughly
aroused and we wouldn't be sur
surprised to see them hugging the
lead closer next Saturday than ever
before. If they are not In tho lead.
The Moses prospects are splendid
in view of the large number OF
friends now at work and they will
no doubt spur the other contestants
to greater deeds.
Tonight the votes are again count
ed by the merchants, and tomorrow
the Contest Man will have his nerve
racking job; but after this and two
weeks more, the thirty leaders will
be selected, after which time the la
Dor for all Will be reduced materially.
! But the voting will be livelier, faster,
more exciting, more interesting, I'M

will boom the glad tidings for some
lucky contestant when the winner
will be announced.

Perhaps in some more enlightened
