rules and those that do not. and all
that remains Is to wait for the late
corners who have until midnight We'd
nesday December /, to submit es-

SOME VIOLATE RULES.
II is to be regretted that n large
number of the essays do not conform
o the rules and the Shop Early
editor hopes children who have not
abIded by the simple regulations
governing the contest will rectify the
matter by submitting other essays.
Although the statement has been
printed every day since the contest
began that these essays must not ex-
coed 100 words in length, many of
those already in hand are longer than
that. and are, therefore ineligible for
consideration as prizes A number OF
others do not bear the name, age and
address Of the writer, and also fail
to specify the school the child at
tends. Still others are written on
both sides OF the paper. Any school
child who has submitted an ESSAY
which violates the rules in any Of
these respects should send in other
entries.
PRIZES ARE INCENTIVE.
Any one of the prizes offered in
this contest will guarantee the aver
age school boy or girl a merry Christ
mas, as It will enable him or her TO
purchase appreciable gifts for many
friends. The first prize is $50 In cash,
the second $40 in cash. the third $40

Ponzi' s tempestuous sea occupied the
attention of federal and state officials

of their client from the East Cam
