Last weeks report found the F. o..
Eagles casting seductive glances at
first place in the race for good books
The gain they made. If followed up
will force the other fellows TO increase
their pace a bit. In view Of the splen-
did uses the members could make of
the fine collection of books now con-
tended for. we have been expecting
them to get more thoroughly at il,
and last weeks report has confirmed
these expectations. It's a pretty fignt
all along the route, and viii be more
so with the big day Wednesday.
The figures published throw little
or no light upon the situation as vot-
ers must keep before them the fact
that We have I'm our possession the
return of Two Premium Red Letter
Days, which have not been entered,
but will be presented to the Commit
tee which the Contest Man assemblies
at the close of the contest. These
returns as far as we can CLEAN, re-
veal that the Fraternal Order OF
Eagles. The Knights OF Pythias and
many others have been alive to the
opportunities offered through this
special feature. Therefore, ma
jority of One Hundred Thousand
votes will be easily Offset when these
special votes are entered, consequently
our earnest advice to all voters is TO
be alert TO every opportunity to vote

special announcement of importance.

have always characterized the con
duct of the business Of these firms
have Justly earned the confidence oi
all Hundreds of voters are evidently
alive to this fact, and with increasing
numbers every day. All contestant:
are substantially represented in theil
reports. To win though you must ex'
ceed the results obtained by the othei
fellows; therefore some of you who
have not felt the easy, comfortable
shoes purchasable at these stores, had

ing aside the value of the grocer,
and market vote for he has been pro
vided with several stores of superio
excellence in every respect
