Then, unless the actual Wilmette subscription list of the, Lake Shore News shall prove to be TWICE as large as the Wilmette subscription Hut of the Ittdex, MR. POSTMASTER CHILDS' deposit shall be returned to him and the deposit of the Lake Shore News shall be paid by the bank cashier to the chan- ties associations of Evanston and Wilmette, one-half of the amount to each, to be usei by them for purchasing ice for the poor, or foi any other purpose which to them seems best. On the other hand if the Wilmette subscription list of the Lake Shore News SHALL prove to be at least TWICE as large as that of the Index, then the deposit of MR. POSTMASTER CHILDS shall be paid to the charities associa- tions!^ the manner already described, one-half to Wilmette and one-half to Evanston. In the event MR. POSTMASTER CHILDS shall lose in this contest, how- ever, only half of the forfeit put up by this newspaper shall be returned to it, the other half to be" paid by the bank cashier to the charities association, in order that the full sum of $100.00 shall be paid to them, no matter who shows the largest sub- scrintion list in Wilmette.
