purchase or accounts that are being
paid up at Roberts & Henschke, Hub
bard & Davis Co., The New Dream,

merchants wish to warn everyone
against buying votes. Should any
one be discovered doing SO, it will
mean that the child for whom they
are working will be disqualified and
its name taken off the list of con-
testants. Remember, buying of votes
