churches of that denomination on the
west side. has again taken the lead
In The Times $4,000 label and sales
slip prize contest, the leaders vote
In today's standing amounting 10 1885,
$50. The league workers have &C
iquired building lot on Trumbull-
ave. and they are seeking, with the
! help OF their friends. 10 capture the
! first prize OF 81 900 20 forward the
work OF erecting the new church. The
league has marshaled a great deal OF
strength among residents OF the west
side. this being made apparent by the
number of combinations turned In
last week and by the number ready
TO add to their vote this week.
| Wayne Assembly No. /, Order OF
the Amaranth has taken the lead in
division No. l with vote OF 3S6.424.
This vote places the fraternal organi-
zation In the lead for the second cash
lrize of $500. The workers for the
order asserted, when they carried a
big bundle of votes TO the Office.
Wednesday, that the cold weather APP
parently had failed 10 chill the en-
thusiasm of the campaign in their
quarter, however much 1t may have
affected other contestants.
There is a hint, incidentally, for all
the contestants in the fact that the
Amaranths have declined 10 permit
the cold weather to interfere with
their efforts to capture the $1,000
lprize. The fraternal workers assum-
! ed, they said. >that IL would not do TO
wait for the zephyrs of spring to tenn
per their campaigning for votes now
that the third month of the contest
is well under way.
Bethel Evangelical Lutheran church,
Mt. Elliott-ave. and Hendricks-st.
still maintains the lead In division
No. 2. The Bethel members and their
friends have their demonstration at
the church tonight, and IL is expected
that close to 200 of the ladies OF that
Organization will be present.
In division No. 4, the Western
lodge of Odd Fellows hold the lead.
Fred Bellair, noble grand OF the lodge
and head OF the committee having the
label campaign in charge, Is planning
a country fair, to be held the latter
part of this month and to close with
the lodges annual ball. through which
he plans &c arouse the interest and
support of scores of families to assist
those already actively engaged in the
task of gathering the labels for votes.
This Is another fraternal organiza-
ton which no doubt will be In the
race till the last day. The matter or
arranging for the country fair is to
be taken up by Mr.. Bellair at the
meeting tonight, and he is hopeful
that his fellow members will support
him in the suggestion.
Contestants for the Regal automo-
.bile-at least about ten of them-are
beginning to lose sleep. The race for
this prize Is beginning 10 take on
steam, and the contestants are begin
ming TO sidetrack all other cares and
to concentrate their every activity in
an effort for more votes. Just how
excitin the race has become and the
extent 1t has taken hold with some
of the contestants, is illustrated best
by the assertion of George +. Schmidt
that he is able to distinguish La
Azora cigar band from any other kind
the instant he spies 1t rolling along
the sidewalk block or more in front
OF him. Many OF his friends have de-
veloped a like ability to distinguish
vote-counting labels from ordinary
rubbish, he says, and are bringing
labels to him with regularity. Schmidt
brought several combinations to the
Office yesterday and will have more,
he said, before the week closes.
Margarie Brando maintains the
lead in the race for the Shetland
ponies. though the table standing
shows that she has some rivals of
whom she may expect trouble.
Remember the combination for this
week II has a value of 10000 extra
free votes and is one of the largest
and easiest ones that will be offered
during the entire contest. Have as
many OF your friends as possible get
these labels for you this week:
Karo, either red or blue.
Argo starch.
/ Bour coffee or tea.
10 Queen Anne soap wrappers or
heads.
Z Buckeye milk labels.
