Yes, tho answers to tho advertised mis-spelled words in last woek's Cou rier came in-l i 0-odd of them. A lot were handed in at tho oillce, moro of them carno through tho mail from all parts of tho county, and a few from both North Carolina and Geor gia. And, taken as a whole, it was n woll-gotten-up bunch of replies that came into our hands for con sideration. 'Mr. Gribble, tho advertising man who workod up tho contest, left no instructions ns to whether answers were to bo in manuscript or could be typewritten, and wo found it abso lutely impossiblo to grado manu script letters by the same standards ns those that apply to typewritten matter. Therefore, in Justice, as it seems to us, .to all contestants, we ?have taken the liberty of dividing the prizes into two sections-manu script nnd typewriter specimens. Wo believe this will prove satisfactory to all contestants. Of the 142 replies received, 42 contestants gave all the mis-spelled words along with the correct spell ing of them. Thirty-eight of these correct replies were in manuscript and eight were written on the type writer. Of the romaining 100 re plies no one had all the words cor rected properly, the range of inaccu racies being from one to nine incor rect answers. So that oach contestant who had an error or errors in his or her Hst submitted may see Just wherein he or she "fell down," we give below tho completo Usl of advertisers, ?te mis-spelled word and, the o?rreol rt spelling in each instance the word given first ls incorrect, the second being V. ? correct word; Piedmont Motor Co.

The Host rapers submitted, according to our judg ment on careful consideration of the three points of accuracy, neatness and time of receipt, wero submitted by tho following: Manuscript (lBt)-Mrs. P.

C.-Ono half of Socond 'Prize.$1.00 These prizes wero fixed by Mr. Gribble at $3.00 for tho first prize nnd $2.00 for ibo second prize. But since ho failed to spoclfy that tho replies must bo in manuscript form, and since we could find no way of accurately reconciling a judgment ns between manuscrlps and typewrit ten matter, we havo made this di vision of tho prizes. Otherwise wo would havo had to throw out those made on (ho typewriter, considering only tho manuscripts. This, it seems to us, would hardly havo been either "faro" or "fair" to those who used the typewriter, since Mr. Gribble did not think to make the distinction. Chocks will he malled out this af ternoon to the whiners in tho con test. We thank you!

Forty-four gallons of milk is used by each person in the' United States annually, according to estimates made by the dairy division of the United States Department of Agri culture. This estimate refers to the whole milk and does not include thal which ia c?*<iumed In the form of let cream, choose and butter. The amount is about twice as much as that usod In 1890, when the per cap ita consumption was approximately 22 gallons. The dairy specialist point out that the increase in tht uso of milk in tho last 30 years is at great as in the preceding 280 years. The present-day consumption ol milk in tho United States, they say Is equal to about one pint per day or as much as two small glasses Thai is not a groat amount when it ii known that In includes not only th( milk that is used for drinking, bu also that usod In cooking. This ls f small amount compared to tho poi capita consumption in somo Euro pean countries. In Sweden ant Switzerland, for instance, nearly 7( gallons are used by each person an nualty.
