 Take the case of Ralph Schil- hos, who comes to town twice a day on contractors business, and dreams meanwhile of his girl, |Lois Cummings, in far off Bell Iingham, Washington.
 Lois is 9 candidate in a queen contest now on in Bellingham, and sent Ralph clipping about | it, with her picture. Ralph, eager to be the gallant swain, decided to do something about it, so he sent a wire to the newspaper, the contest headquarters. I here by cast 100000 votes, he said, in so many words, for Lois Cum nings. The men at the air base here, he said, are voting un- animously for her. Give her my love, he said.
 Ralph went around with feeling of work well done until he got an answering wire. From contest headquarters, it said; would be glad to cast the 100, poo votes. They cost 50 cents per hundred votes, it said. Lois sends her love, 1t said.
