The piano contest and the race for
the other prizes, is creating no end of
excitement in Yale and vicinity. The
above table shows that beyond any
question.
Of course it does not show the true
standing of all the boys and girls as
many of them have not cast all their GER
tificate votes, nor will they until the
last day. They are going to play poll
tics in this contest. They are going to
be guided in measure by their dads,
and if they do they are going to come
out on top, for there isn't another
bunch of men in Michigan that can
beat the politicians OF Yale and Brock
way townships, when it comes to lay
ing wires in that line of work.
That's right, boys and girls, be guided
by your dads, not only in politics, but
in all things. Have them look up
the record Of the Sterling piano and
see if its a good one or not. We want
you to have him inspect it, because 1t
is a good piano we are going to give
you've know it and want you to
know it.
You wonder how we can give away
all these prizes, don't you? Well, to
tell the truth WE CAN'T AFFORD
IT. but we are doing it just the same.
We want to GET A BIG SUBSCRIP-
TION LIST so it will pay the Yale
merchants to advertise in the Exposi-
tor. That is where newspaper gets
its money from-What little it does
get. That is why a newspaper can
give away valuable prizes for subscrip-
tions.
Another thing. This contest is not
a game of chance. Its game of hus-
tie and the prizes go to the best hus-
tiers. So If you want to set yourself
up as hustler, get busy-win one of
these prizes.
Its the boys and girls of Yale against
each other. You can't all win the pi-
ano. ONLY THE BEST HUSTLER
IN THE BUNCH WINS. So if you
should win, would it not mark you
forever as a hustlerP That reputation
would do you good i'm after life, for
every business man LOVES A HUS-
TIER.
Go after one of these prizes. See all
your friends. If they are VERY
GOOD FRIENDS they will encourage
you to the extent of years subscrip-
tion. The money will come in good
just now and the votes will help you
out amazingly for the big prizes.
REMEMBER IT WILL COST YOU

ATTORNEYS DEFER
, REPORT TO ASSN

It now seems probable that there
will be no report made to the local
bar association by the executive COM
mittee which has just completed an
investigation of the charges against
Attorneys Perry, Bailey and Watts
until after some disposition has been
made of the st. Dennis VS.. Watts
case, the procedure in which led to
the investigation, the attitude of the
majority of the attorneys being that
they should take no action that would
affect the merits of either side.
Although the committee was in
structed to make a report to the as
ISOLATION not later than today, it Is
impossible for the committee to do
so as the testimony in the investiga-
ton is not more than half prepared
by w. c. Il. PruItt, who acted as ste
nographer and for the further reason
that several of the committeeman
have not yet heard all of the testi-
mony.
