No. 6, the last of the series of illus
trated REFUSES of Minnesota towns is
presented to the youthful readers of
the y nj on this week. Nearly two
hundred letters have been received by
the puzzle editor from competitors for
the prizes offered for the correct solu-
tion of riddles contained in rebus No.
5. >Ninety-ive per cent of the letters
were clean and legible and a credit to
the boys and girls who wrote them.
The puzzle editor felt so good over
the prompt compliance with his re-
quest for neatlywritten answers that
he awarded two additional prizes of
Sl.0O each, making five prizes in all.
One hundred and forty-one correct
solutions of the riddles were received
this week. The names of the III as
they appear below were written on
pieces of cardboard, the pieces we're
placed in the puzzle EDITORS hat and
shaken up and down and across; then
Grace Dunn was blindfolded and drew
out five cards containing the follow
ing names: Daisy E. Mott, Robert
j. Murray, Gertrude A. Lamb, Ruth
Briggs and Mamie Lahore. Checks
have been mailed to each of the lucky
ones. -
Some of the letters received this week
were interesting and instructive, par
ticularly those of Bessie Hill and
Katie Umberhocker. Miss Hill, in
well-chosen words, gave a brief his
tory of each of the towns. To Katie
Umberhocker the puzzle editor doffs
his hat. Of Winona she writes:
"Winona is beautiful city on the
right bank of the Mississippi about
100 miles below St. Paul. 1t is one
of the most important manufacturing
cities in the state. It has one Of the
five state normal schools. It also
enjoys the distinction of having once
been the home of the biggest wind
bag in the state" Katie concludes
her letter with this saucy paragraph:
eff this paper gets soiled send it back
and I will wash it," Bless your
soul, Katie, the puzzle editor has so
hugely enjoyed your witty letter that
he mails you a special prize in the
shape of check for S1.OO.
With the publication of the first of
the REFUSES it was announced that
$1,000 would be distributed in prizes
by lot among those who correctly
solved the riddles. But the, uni % n
is not noted for penuriousness. AL
ready $4,000 has been paid in prizes,
and our only regret is that we could
not afford to make it five times twenty
This week the last of the series of re-
buses appears, and we wish to make
at least ten of our youthful friends
happy, hence we will distribute ten
prizes of S1.00 each among those who
successfully solve the riddles in this
issue of the Union. All cannot draw
prizes but ten can. The winners will
be fairly determined by lot. Answers
must be all in by next Wednesday
noon. The only condition imposed is
that some member of the family must
be Union subscriber and the COM
petitor not over sixteen years of age.
