RULES.

Contestants are required to make
a list of the different cities or towns
feither or BOTH of population of
5000 or over within the United States
not including Alaska or our insular
possessions, using for letters to make
names of the cities or towns any of
the letters in the reading matter with
in the heavy black bordered square
Example: Take any city or town of
5000 or over-Cincinnati for example.
In the square find a &c" and cross it
out; then find an So and cross it out;
then find an IN" and cross it out; then
another &c" and cross it out; another
81 and cross it out; then another m
and cross it out; again another m
crossing it out; then find an "a" and
cross it out; then a st. and then an
other 81 This uses up ten of the
letters in the square, and you can not
use these letters again. Now take
another city or town and proceed as
before AS soon as a letter is used
in the square cross it out carefully,
as you cannot use the same letter
again. Continue then until you have
made as many cities or towns as you
can.
Cities or towns of the same name
can be used but once.
Do not use any authorizations.
Conte stants are not allowed to send
in a duplicate list, as this would be
unfair to others.

four years later a new surveying expe.
dition found that this land had been
transformed into body OF water, and
it was put on the map as Lake Ala

plays hide and seek game with itself.
This freak is explained by the fact
that a stream loses itself In sink at
the northern part OF the prairie, and
when this sewer. can carry or all the
