 From street to countryside; One candidate Views With Alarm The other Points With Pride. The League of Nations brings nt

 It swells the worldly tide; One candidate Views With Alarm, The other Points With Pride. With Party Records both will run, And arguments collide; One candidate Views With Alarm, The other Points With Pride. But in the Wet Fight both see harm And both try hard to hide; Both candidates View with Alarm, And neither Points With Pride.

 The voting contests for the most popular young lady. boy and li;tle girl, in connection with the Catholic Bazaar, are creating almost as much excitement as the cold storage plant
 Miss Beatrice Benson and Miss Rose Flabbi are the contestants for the elegant white-fo fur; Walter Foote and James Golding are out for the gold watch and little Mary Agnes Ritter and Julia Stragier are in the race for the beautiful walking doll The prizes are on display in one of the windows of Goldstein's Empor ium.
