 rounding territory. The public gen erally awakened to the fact that the Daily Graphic was the paper for their home and today the Graphic has hundreds of subscribers who are it's most staunCh supporters.

 Winners Feel Proud
 The winners may feel proud of th< fact that they have won one race in thousand and have come out with deserving honors of having outrar and outclassed workers who have done amazingly we'll and would unde. -rdinary conditions have had enougl votes to win.
 The contestants have all donc splendid work and some have beer more successful than others but this is largely due to the hustling ability of the different contestants.
 All Could Not Win
 r. $ to be deplored that all could not win the Grand Prizes, the two handsome Flanders "20" automobiles This is in the nature of things inn possible, and one sympatizes keenly with those who have put ill day and weeks of hard work and then fail to win the pr,ze fer which they have ssriven. But even then the work ha! not been wasted efforts. The con- estant striving after success, ever though the immediate object is moi realized, can not ia to be benefited in the long run.
 Best of Feeling
 During the length o fthe contes the best of feel ng has prevailed and while the prize list is quite lengthy there are a few workers who are no fortunate enought to have their name on roll of honor, but through their individual efforts have made such a record as to deserve special praise. To them the Graphic extend ts thanks for Ihe good work they have accomplished.
 Now that at last the contest has closed, it is with pleasure that the awards are made to the successful and deserving contestants who have been chosen Dy the public at large.
