upon cash purchases.
We have been asked if the wife or
daughter of merchants who are CO.
operating with this paper in this voting
contest may compete for prizes. The
rules are that no one connected with
this paper car compete for any prize,
neither can the wife or daughter of any
of the merchants who are cooperating
with this paper in the contest enter the
competition. The reasons for this are
obvious, and We are very sure that the
merchants will all feel just as we do in
regard to the matter. We want the
contest to be conducted with the great
est possible fairness, with no occasion
or opportunity for anybody to criticise.
The ballot box is now at our Office,
ready to receive votes. The box will
not be opened until the first count is
made, on April Both. The judges will
be absolutely disinterested people, in
whom everybody will have confidence,
and every count will be participated in
by a representative of the Publishers
Music Co., who are managing the con-
test. There will be no favorites and
no chance for favoritism. The lady
who the largest number of
votes will win the piano, and so on
down for the rest of the prizes. We
wish there were pianos enough to go
round for all the girls, but there are
not, and all but one will have to be con.
tent with one of the many other beau
tiful prizes offered.
