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.

\ Special attention is called to the
following rules:
4. Only English words found in
the dictionary can be used. 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

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

> 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:
