Explanation of Contest

AS stated in previous announcement, the
sentence selected is from the work of we'll
known author, and the particular book from
which it was taken should be upon the
shelves of every library There are approxi-
mately one hundred and eighty thousand
words in the English language. There are
nine parts of speech. That would narrow it
down to perhaps twenty thousand words of
one part of speech. Now then, if there are
twenty thousand words from which to
choose, the missing word MUST BE one of
these. Prosecute the eliminating process
still further by selecting as many words as
you can possibly think of which would COM
plete the sentence. Then select a half
dozen that you think are likely to express
the idea of the author. Then, from among
the half dozen so selected, choose THE
ONE WORD which writer would be
LEAST likely to use-there, you have the
correct word! Now then, what is it?
Send your subscription, together with
your solution of the problem, and if it
proves the only correct answer received,
you will get the entire Two Hundred Dol
lars in Gold Coin. Isn't it worth trying for?
If you are not absolutely certain as to what
the missing word is, guess at it. You may
hit it the first time.

A DUTY AND PLEASURE.

While attendance upon a State Con-
vention Is a great privilege rich
treat-to any Prohibitionist, the value
to each district or community repre-
sented should also be appreciated.
Each delegate is certain to return
home chock-full of enthusiasm and
ideas concerning party work. Our
people should therefore see to 1t that
their full delegation is named and on
hand at the opening Of the Conven-
ton. There are several ways Of
bringing this about. In some instan-
ces, especially where the distance Is
considerable, the expense of represen-
tation for railroad fare and hotel bills
should be borne by a number. In not
a few cases the very man who ought
to go, both because he has earned the
honor and also for the good of the
party, is the very man who has put
so much time and money into the work
locally and otherwise that he cannot
afford to bear alone the additional ex.
pense Of the trip. This burden would
rest very lightly however on the shout
ders Of several persons and the local
work would be greatly benefited
thereby. Nor should it be overlooked
that each Prohibitionist, each com.
munity and each district owes 1t to
the work at large to do their level
best to make the convention sue
cess. A large attendance is the first
requisite and this is made up of units
from every part of the state, from the
60 legislative districts and from hun
dreds of communities.
Perhaps the best thing you can do
towards the success of the State Con-
vention is to see that your community
and legislative district are represented
Get the promise of capable person
to go, work for his election and, If de-
sirable, raise the expense of the trip
among our friends.
