N 0 \ yiss Wyman's list was qualified witli three one year subscriptions, and she, therefore, receives the ma/ jor prize. 'Mrs. Land qualified her list with , one one-year subscription, and she receives $18.00. Had she qualified for the fourth class, she would have received $35.00. Miss Gregg, winner of third prize, failed to qualify her list at all, and therefore, receives only $2.00, instead of $25.00. Mrs. Hiers and Houston Carnes tied for the fourth and fifth prizes. Mrs. Hiers qualified her list with three subscriptions, and is therefore V "" ? - entitled to one-half of the maximum prizes for the fourth and fifth places'. The two prizes being a maximum of $25.00, ghe is awarded $12.50. Houston Carnes, a bright little boy of Bamberg, failed to qualify his list \ with any subscriptions, and there- 1 fore receives one-half of the combined value of the fourth and^fifth prizes in the "no subscription" class. / The two being $2.50 combined, he gets a check for $1.25. Mrs. Padgett, winner of the sixth prize, receives a check for $5.00, having qualified for the maximum ^ prize by sending in three subscriptions. Honorable Mention.

Obso1 lets and foreign meaning words will 5 not be counted. 5. The same object can be named but once. This does not preclude the naming of an /Object which is a part of another object. 6. Only* such compound words which by Ions: usage have become and in the dictionary are given as one word can be used. Hyphenated . words and words that appear in the dictionary as two words are not to be considered. 7. The word may be given in the singular or plural form, but if the one is used the.other cannot be. , 11. In arriving at this decision thp will Allow one Doint for each correct word, which must be numbered, 1, 2, 3, and so on to the end of the list. A margin of 15 incorrect words will be granted to each -contestant to allow for a possible legitimate difference of opinion; but each incorrect word above ithat number will count one against. 12. If two contestants tie for the first place the first and second prizes will be divided between the two pro ra*a according to their class. The next highest will receive the third pi CL1/. The contest closed on June 20th. Jue 27th was the last day on which contestants could qualify their answers for one of the larger prizes by i 9 ure Puzzle ( inners Are sending or handing in one, two or three subscriptions, or the equivalent in one subscription, to The Herald. The contest brought forth a great volume of answers. There were so many that days of work were required to classify and check them. The Herald had no idea the amount of work that would be required wlien the contest began, in tact, i ne Herald knew nothing more about the picture puzzle than did any of its readers. The puzzle was furnished us by a concern in Minnesota. The Herald merely purchasing the right to use it. Certain requirements were made along with the sale of the picture, one of which the contest must be closed on June 20th, and another of which was that the master list was not to be furnished until the day of closing, and then must not be opened until the contest had closed. In view of these conditions, The Herald, nor any one connected with it, could not possibly have made any suggestion other than laid down in the rules, if we had been disposed to have dene so, which we were not, of course. The Herald has enjoyed this con test. This newspaper is the first weekly paper in the state to use such a picture puzzle, and one of the two first papers, daily or weekly, to use a contest of this sort. It is something new and novel; interesting and instructive. Careful study and thought were the only requirements for winning. In checking over the numerous lists submitted The Herald finds that the greatest fault was the failure of contestants to read and observe the rules carefully. > Naturally a contest of this kind, open to everybody, subscribers and non-subscribers, qualified or unqualified, meant that some strict rules must oe iaia aown and enforced. These rules were printed in every issue of the paper, and in all circulars sent out. One of these rules was that no compound words must be used, nor could two words be used in describing one object. This rule was broken quite often, and resulted in a good many penalties. Another rule was that one point was to be counted for each correct word, and after allowing fifteen incorrect words for any honest difference of opinion concerning any ob jects, a contestant was to be penalized one point for each additional incorrect word. Contestants will note that the sub-1 misson of the biggest lists of wordsH did not suffice to win prizes. Some j of the lists submitted contained above 400 words." In view of the fact that there are only 216 words on the master list prepared by the artist, it was necessary to impose a penalty for all incorrect words. Therefore if a contestant submitted, say, 400 words, and had named correctly .every object in the picture, there would 'have been 184 incorrect words on the list. Allowing the margin of 15 words for difference of opinion, the penalty imposed would " / a : _ * ? 1,*o+ nave Deen io? puiuio. xuc uoi, gan with 216 points for correct words, but deducting the penalty would leave a score of 47. Take, now, another list of, say, 150 words. On checking the list.it was found that 130 words were correct and 20 wrong. Deducting the 15 words, above referred to, from the list leaves a penalty of. 5 points. Therefore, the score would be 125. This list, with 150 words, made a far better score than did the list of 400 words, even though the larger list contained all of the correct words. But the larger list was encumbered with too many incorrect words. The fairness of this rule is apparent. Any contestant could have taken a standard dictionary and copied down all the words beginning with "R" and thereby would have been bound to name all of the objects in the picture. This rule was for the protection of the careful contestant. Some peculiar aspects of this contest were seen in checking. For instance the church building in the picture received various names. Quite a number called it "Bethel," one called it "Bethlehem," and sev1 4 4- n'o c n Qo nf ic?f V? n r/>V> CI (XL UCC1UCU it >1 cio a. uay LICL cuuitu, although there was nothing in the picture to indicate that it had a name at all, or that it was a Baptist or Methodist church. There was one thing all contestants giving a name at all were agreed upon: That the automobile,1 whose front is shown in the picture, was a "Buick." Trade names were not, of course, included. In fact, Fords, Chevrolets. and many other cars have fronts identically like the one shown. One excellent list of 243 words / r Contest \ E Announced V? > was submitted, and contained 174 C correct words, but, unfortunately, st t*he list was encumbered with 69 in- g correct words, and therefore had to ti be penalized 54 points, reducing'the S( score below those of the six winners. 1 Another list of 16S correct words eJ had to be penalized 44 points, re- tt ducing the score to 124, missing a A prize but one point. ^ Repetition of words counted ej against many of the contestants. With but few exceptions, all %lists fr had words repeated. Some few contained two words describing the same a( object. H Again The Herald wishes to thank ? its frifends for the interest taken in s the contest. We trust each one re- J ceived entertainment from the hunting of the objects and the correct naming of them. The prizes are awarded cheerfully, and we only re gret that we are unable to give a prize to $very contestant. f Checks will be mailed out to all winners in the next day or two. It will be unnecessary for any winner to call for the same: The Master List.
