Consolation. Awards.
Money comes as a welcome solace to dis
appointment when erort has fallen
trife short of its mark. ETherefore. The
Herald felt that as consolation awards,
nothing could satisfy so well as money.
Following that reasoning came the i'm
pulse to give money to contestants who
fail to win the larger and principal
prizes. To give money is a simple thing.
but to give IL intelligently points to CIV
Ing IL where IL viii earn interest Hence
The Herald will award consolation prizes
in the shape of Citizens Savings Bank
credits as follows: Ten so accounts:
twenty IS accounts; fifty 81 accounts.
Thus the prizes will be given under cir
cumstances most advantageous to the
winner. Whether he or she shall elect
to allow the money to remain where
1t will expand into larger strength and
fortunate individuals own choice.
The bank holds the $50 subject to the
order of The Herald, and Will be glad
TO exhibit the money to any one VINO
wishes to see the article rather than the
book and credit. The central location OF
the Citizens" as 1t is fsmiIiarIy referred
to, makes IL an ideal bank for women as
well as men. II is in the Bond Building.

the Booklover editor will carry to

envelope which will contain a proof
of the picture which will appear
the next day. Never will a picture be
published until after II has been time
stamped by an official of the bank, and
there il will remain until called for by
the Judging committee appointed TO pick
the winners of The Heralds great Book
lovers contest
But one man is to have the information
of the exact and correct titles of the pic
tures. The artist will not be taken. into
the confidence of that all-powerful indi-
vidual. the Booklover editor. A memo
randum calling for a picture of certain
specified design will be the sum total or
the art departments knowledge of the
subject Of its work. Thus the absolute
safety of the secrets of the big game
will be conserved beyond possibility of
