Will Enter the Coming Week, as
il is Not Too Late
Hundreds of readers have entered
the Educational Mis-Spelled Word
Contest inaugurated in last Fridays
Daily and Weekly Banner. Answers
began coming in early last Saturday
morning, and toward the latter part
of the week the mails brought doz-
ems of answers from readers OF the
paper in all parts of the county and
state, and other states. Our subscrib-
ers realize the opportunity to secure
a great deal of benefit for very lit
tie time, and appreciate the liberality
of the progressive men OF Ocala and
of the Banner in providing such a
novel and interesting feature.
While many of the answers receiv-
ed for the first week are correct, all
five of the purposely mis-spelled
words being reported, there are equal
" as many where the contestants
failed to find all the sought-for words.
This does not signify that those who
reported only two, three or four
of the mis-spelled words will fail to
be winners at the end of the eight
weeks, however, as those who sue
ceeded in locating all the words the
first week may lose out" the second
or third week, or even later, hence
no one should feel discouraged if they
failed to report any of them correctly
the past week, since it's an old and
many times repeated adage that "a
bad beginning makes a good ending"
The coming week should see many
new contestants in the race for the
liberal cash and other prizes, as a
reader may begin the second, third
or fourth week and won So, SO or
$50. Read the ads NOW and send in
your answer for the second week
you'll find it a pleasure to hunt for
the errors. Contestants need not
look for errors in names of persons
or places, street names, ETC., as there
is no rule for spelling such. Howev-
err, some words appearing in Web
ster's dictionary which are spelled
two or more ways will be used, but
never in the case of proper name.
Contestants will please spell words
correctly, or as they think they
should be spelled, as the contest is
intended to be of an educational ma
ture as well as benefit to the read
er, in informing him of bargains to be
had at the several stores using the
page.
The answers as to the mis-spelled
words for October 9Th appear at the
bottom of the answer blank for to-
day. Look at them and see If you
found all last week. If you did not,
get copy of last weeks paper, and
note how simple they were. But
don't get discouraged-stay in the
game; you can win.
RcmCLuDSIs luSIS uldy US OHS, tWO,
three, four or five wrongly-spelled
words each week-never less than
one, never more than five. There
were five last week. If you can't find
five this week, maybe there are not
that many-who knows?
(See special notice below.)
Special Notice
In last weeks page one typograph-
zeal error was overlooked by the
proof-reader, and while there were
i've purposely mis-spelled words,
those who have found five, whether
they include the typographical error
or not, will be given full credit for
them. This error was in the Ditto
advertisement-the word lis" appear
ed when it should have been "in.''
