PURE FOOD EXHIBITIONS
WILL AID CONTESTANTS
Times Will Boost Along Cam
paigners Of Those Hustling
For Prizes.

Beginning Immediately after the
holiday period The Times contest
department will arrange pure food ex-
hibitions and demonstrations for as
many of the organization contestants
as want them In their efforts TO cap
ture one OF the valuable prizes In the
merchants and manufacturers $4,000
label and sales slip contest The
committee in charge for the various
organizations should arrange for the
demonstration as early in January as
possible. Several organizations al
ready have set aside an evening or an
afternoon, or both, for their first ex-
hibition. Others should make their
arrangements early as the dates IN
the early part of the month are rapid
ly being taken.
One OF the demonstrations VIII ac-
complish much for any organization
competing for the prizes. In the
first place IL serves as means OF
stimulating interest in the contest, as
IL puts all the members and friends
OF the organization taking advantage
of It I'm first-hand touch with the eff
forts the committee In charge is max
=.
that IL makes II possible for the mem
bers OF the organization having the
exhibition to attract to their actlv-
tiles, at least for the one afternoon
or evening, scores OF outside frlenus
who might otherwise never be seen In
the church or lodge rooms.
This Is possible for the reason that
the contest department has made
rule whereby the organization having
the demonstration will be allowed 800
votes for each woman or girl-who reg
listers her name at the church or
lodge the evening OF the demonstra-
ton. 1t will be seen, consequently,
that the members will have oppor-
tunlty TO request all their friends to
appear at the church or lodge and in
this manner a great number OF per-
sons may be enlisted to save labels
and take an active part in the cam
paign-friends whom the committee
in charge could reach and interest in
no other way.
Arrange date for your demonstra-
ton now. The earlier tits held next
month the sooner your organization
will have the support of many fam
lilies not now saving their labels for
anybody. Let the contest department
know what date will be most advan-
tageous for you and arrangements viii
be made accordingly, il the day is not
already taken The earlier your day
is fixed, also, the more time your
members will have to speak of 1t
among all their friends, asking them
to appear on the night fixed. Every
member or friend counts 500 votes
if her name is registered, so it will
not be difficult, with this inducement,
to attract scores OF friends on the
night of the exhibition and demon
stration.
The Ladies' Aid society Of the War
ren-Ave. Baptist church decided, FRI
day, to take up the label and sales
slip campaign, and scores of families
