As the first step in tbe campaign, it has put up $250 in prizes for the students who sub- mit the best songs on the subject of loganberry juice. The contest starts tight away, and will continue until the night of October 21. That gives contest- ants a full month in which to whet their wits, look through the rhym- iug dictionaries, and send iu their songs. W. H. P Hill, sales manager of the Northwestern Electric company.
