TWENTY AHEAD

Mt. Hope Again Leads the K. of P’s IN THE DEMOCRAT’S PIANO CONTEST Both Organizations Make Decided Gains This Week—Others Also Show Oains. In The Democrat’s Popularity contest this week both the leading contestants have made considerable gain—Mt. Hope gaining 125 votes and the Remington K. of P. Lodge gaining 100 votes. Several other contestants have made gains also, and the interest in the contest is constantly growing. The vote at the hour of going to press stood as follows: Mt. Hope Church, Jordan tp 43S Remington E. of P. Lodge 415 Parr Baptist Church 215 Rensselaer Christian Church 170 Wheatfleld K. of P. Lodge 140 Rensselaer Court, C. O. F . .. 110 St. John’s Court, C.

(Gifford) 20 It is not too late by any means for new contestants to enter the field, as each new subscriber is entitled to 20 votes and each old subscriber to 10 votes on each dollar paid on old subscription. If the name of your Church, Sunday School or Lodge is not yet entered in the contest, see some of its friends interested and get up a few new subscribers and forge to the front. Remember that twenty-five new subscribers means 500 votes, which would place it to the front, and as nothing succeeds like success this would give you a prestige that would bring other votes from subscribers having no particular choice. If you are not already a subscriber to The Democrat it behooves you to get in line and become one, and thus help the organization of your choice to secure this valuable instrument. All votes are being carefully filed away and will be counted at the end of the contest by a disinterested committee of three who will award the piano to the contestant securing the greatest number of votes. In case of a tie vote the piano will go to the two tieing contestants, and they can settle the tie between themselves.
