gagged in it have vastly different
point of view than those of us who
have assisted to accomplish the down.

a legal and protected traffic in the
city where he lives and does business.
Naturally his point of view. is differ
ent from that of the ultra dry. He Is
wondering how he can get out with
the least loss. So would every other
man when placed in a similar predtc-
ament.
Men like this man who accept the
law as law and who are eldeavoring
to get out of the business with as
little loss as they may, are not to be
harried and annoyed so long as they
keep within the reasonable bounds of
the law. It is a great change and in
wolves large investments. There Is
no, occasion for rank condemnation Of
the men themselves, and SO far as
their business is concerned 1t Will be
a business no longer than the date
set for its adjustment. They agree
to that. They are hit hard. Let them
get out as we'll as they may in con-
formity to the law which is law until
January l, 1916, automatically repeats
it. Acceptance Of conditions by the
saloon men themselves is in itself a
great victory.

but sufficiently profitable to engage
his time and talents for organization.

Hard Work for Judges.

The judges had even greater diff
Guilty in determining the prize win
ners for the second contest than had
been experienced in the first. The
windows as , hole were much bet
ter than they were in the first con-
test, while there were a number of
displays that ranked very close at the
top. Several stores missed only a
few points Of getting within the
money.
The windows were judged, as in the
first contest, on the following points:
Cleanliness, $50 percent; artistic ar
rangement, 100 percent; sales value,
$50 percent; general effect and i'm
preston, 800 percent; appearance of
store, principally cleanliness, 100 per-
cent.
In making their ratings the judges
took into consideration the size of the
windows, the conditions under which
the window was competing, the size
of the stock carried in the store, and
the advantages taken by the merchant
Of his opportunities to make an effec-
tive display. For example allowance
was made by the JUICES for the limit
ed opportunities of a grocery store to
make a display as artistic as that
which could be made by jawelry
store In other words, if store with
small windows and very limited op-
portunities made very good display
with the means at hand, they were
given higher rating than that of a
larger store with every means avail
able that made but an ordinary dis
play.

No Dirt Under Ice Box.

The judges had no easy work In
making their Inspections and ratings
and their inspections for this contest
were even more thorough and careful
than those of the first contest. One
grocery store owner said that the
Judges even looked under his ice box
for dirt when inspecting his store.
"Tm glad they did, he said, for
knew they couldn't find anything that
would hurt my rating" Two trips OF
inspection were made by the judges,
one during the day time and the sec
ond at night when the lighting effects
in the window could be seen.
