Anyone Legitimate Prey.

In announcing this contest, DR.. A.
D. Leeds. president OF the Hot Stov-
ers said, anyone is legitimate prey
for these girls. Anyone who is not
wearing one of the miniature plank
badges will be tagged by the girls.
The girls are not to be backward
about asking for liberal purchases.
They are supposed tc sell these
planks at any amount they can get
from 81 up. Many Of the planks sold
by them should bring S. to $40 and
they will not work on the theory of
a dollar plank.
"If anyone has purchased a plank
and would like to buy another one,
but 1t from the girls. In the first
round made by the soliciting commit
etes, scores Of people told the solici-
tors that if they were going to run
short, TO come back again. 1t appears
now that we will ned more money
than is in sight at this time. ! ap-
peal to everyone to buy literally
from these girls. If you have bought
dollar plank, we appreciate your
spirit, but we will need more money
so buy another plank or two It's
going to take far more than dol.
lar a piece from those who will buy
to put the thing over.
Business Houses Liberal.
"The business houses that we have
been able to see have, thus far been
liberal and we will get a consider.
able sum in this way. aMny firms
. not content to wait for the commit
tees, sent in their checks. These, we
certainly appreciate. We have checks
from business houses in amounts
ranging from 500 down to $25. An
opportunity will be made to let every
firm have an opportunity to make
such purchases of planks as they de
sire.
"There is to be no Strong arm
squad. Our committees will not at
tempt to brow beat or otherwise by
strong arm methods wiring pur
chase or donation out of any firm Of
individual. At the same time, WI
want everyone to buy as man!
planks as their means, their interes
