Considering the spirited work the
Junior o. U. A. NJ have been doing
in the library contest their accom-
plishments of last week were not
such a surprise. The members of this
organization are putting up a serious
and daily more consistent fight for
the good books. The contest man is
in hearty accord with the ambition
of any contending society when they
make their fight in strict accordance
with the rules. We want 20 compli-
ment the membership of the Juniors
for their methods along this line
One of the surprises of Saturday s
issue was the votes cast by the Eden
Lodge and the position they hold con
firms this organization as a dangerous
contemporary in the field. At first
the Eden Lodge reports showed "A
clear majority from some one or two
merchants and a small vote from the
rest, the reports at present indicate
that the effort is becoming more gen-
eral which shows that the voters are
going consistently to the contest
stores to do their buying. This is
the only way to win and every effort
should be made to stimulate this
idea. If you have the purchase of a
piano i'm mind or if you know Of a
friend similarly inclined, you know
that the Robelen Piano Company
ranks high in this state. The tre-
mendous vote the sale of a piano rep
resents is worth a lot of work on
the part of a voter, and when you con
summate a deal of this sort you con-
fer a greater favor upon the purchaser
than you do upon the dealer. The
same may be said Of the D. w. Lynch
and Company. There is such a va
riety of good things to eat in this
store as to make it a popular house
for daily marketing. The importance
of the grocery vote should be import
ant to all. The major portion Of the
money you spend on home goes into
the till of the grocery, so the contest
man always selects the best possible
list and locates them convenient to
all.
There are now about thirty-three
merchants issuing the votes, and If
the pace by making every dime ex-
pended during the next few days of
this contest develop into votes.
Look out for the dark horse" as
ofttimes a contestant hangs on around
third, fourth or fifth place, and in
the wind-up it proves was only using
the apparently sure winner as a pace
maker. This was the case of the Elks
in White Plains, ~ Y. Nobody look
ed upon them as a probability. for
they were always at least 100000
votes behind. But, goshl how they
made the fur fly the last two weeks.
This illustrates the importance of
concerted effort and fighting the bat
tie with every nerve and resource
until the last trench is wrested from
the enemy Never be over confident
because you are ahead, or lose con-
fidence because you are behind
The great importance of the little
two-vote coupon is now becoming ap-
parent TO everyone. The scissors of
thousands of voters Will travel miles
upon miles through this precious
little piece of paper. These hun
dreds of voters who will be so anxi-
GUS for this vote value, will endeavor
to purchase more than one news
paper daily, thereby depriving many
voters of this great value because
they are less alert. The only policy
to pursue if you wish to serve your
purpose faithfully and conscienti-
ously is to get busy right away as
these little coupons accumulate into
large vote very quickly.
