FLOWER CONTEST
GROWS EACH DAY
Telegraph Contributes Money
to It's Success; Has No
Financial Interest


circles to ruffie the surface of the
water, so the enthusiasm which has
been aroused for making Harris
burg the Flower City of Pennsylvania
has spread until it has become, in the
space of two short months, an item of
no mean Importance in the city's list
of assets.
One of the most striking results of
the campaign for flower and window
and porch boxes is shown in the more
than attractive box which a passer-by
| noticed in the window of a humble
home in an industrial section of the
city. The family was evidently in
straitened circumstances, yet the love
of flowers prevailed so strongly in that
| household that store box had been
filled with flowers. presenting a most
attractive front
| The Telegraph has no financial or
/ business interest in the flower box con-
/ test. Indeed, it has cost this news
/ paper some hundreds of dollars up to
/ this time. to make no mention of the
cost OF the prizes to be awarded and
| the expense of three inspections to be
! made during the summer 1t has no
| interest whatsoever in the purchase of
flowers from any one concern or any
several concerns. All 1t desires is that
Harrisburg shall become the Flower
| City of Pennsylvania. This eXplana-
tion is made to clear up a rumor cir
! culated to the effect that the campaign
was being used as a money making
| proposition. Instead of making
money by II, the Telegraph is con-
| tributng generously toward the mis-
sionary effort now being exerted in
! this direction.
