BOYS AND GIRLS HUSTuNG
FOR SHETLAND PONIES
Times Sales Slip and Label Con-
test Makes Strong Appeal
To Youngsters.

Two homeless Shetland ponies are
in the possession of The Times con-
test department. both stamping their
feet and neighing lonesomely In their
anxiety for some boy or girl to take
them from their stalls and make play
time companions of them. One is
broken TO drive, and with IL is driv-
ing cart with seats for four com
panions The other has a saddle and
bride and may safely be ridden by
any boy The picture shown in the
paper today no doubt will often be
seen in reality in the streets ana
boulevards next summer.
The two ponies, as not few boys
and girls already are aware, are TO
be given away to boys and girls
through The Times great $4,000 man
ufacturers' and merchants label and
sales slip contest. These pony prizes
are exclusively for boys and girls.
Older contestants are not TO be allow
ed TO compete for them.
To capture one of them requires the
saving OF labels from the many food
products which are participating In
The Times contest, many OF which
hO III lOhi O"h NN-NA
the homes OF your neighbors and
friends The labels have a voting
value. which is explained In the con-
test announcement, TO be found else
where in this issue of The Times. The
labels are easily acquired, as they
have no value whatever to any house
wife. Look at the list OF products and
then see how many OF the labels are
in your own home. Then ask the peo-
pie who live near you IL they haven't
some. Ii is almost a certainty that
votes are TO be found In practically
every home. Inquire among your
friends and see for yourself how
easily you can get good start.
Ralph Becker, whose home is No.
364 Dix-ave.. has enlisted quite a few
OF his friends in his campaign for one
of the ponies and in two weeks has
gathered labels enough to give him
about 10000 votes. Peter Voight. $50
Twenty has just entered the
race, and he says he is finding IL easy
to get the labels out In his neighbor-
hood. His standing in the list is H.
500. the amount given to each con-
testant, at the start. but this, he says,
will be given an increase when he
brings his labels TO the office next
Monday. Marie Perrin also has
launched a campaign in the neighbor-
hood OF her home, No. 6s3 Sixteenth
St. and many of her friends, she says,
are giving her much help.
Lawrence Cross. Jr.. and Theodore
Rollet have both requested the con-
test department to thank the many
friends who called The Times by tele-
phone to give them votes or who mail
ed their labels TO the office TO be vot-
ed for them. The contestants, both OF
whom are gathering labels with the
hope OF capturing the automobile. are
helpless to carry on their own cam
paigns. The Cross boy is an Invalid
from rheumatism while Rollet has SUI
fered broken back and hip. Their
friends are gathering their labels for
them and bringing them to the ONCE.

that he intends 10 take action on the rsso-
luton Of the Civil Service Commission
transferring from the competitive 70 the ex-
empt class a large number OF places in the
State Controllers Office before the matter
is finally settled in the courts The Gov

Supreme Court Justice Rudd recently de-
cided against the Civil Service Commission

fees affected by the resolution. Mr.. Merritt
sought TO keep his place, and Justice Rudd
