II you haven't entered the marathon
of adages jump into the fray today.
All you'll have to do is to buy yes

ture puzzle representing a well-known
English proverb was printed. get the
correct answer and then start in on
today's paper. You've got the same
chance of coming off with one of the
fifty prizes that several thousand
other persons who are industriously
coming the Evening stars proverb
corner these nights have.
Not Hard to Discover.
II isn't the most difficult task in the
world to discover the old saw that is
hidden in each one of the pictures
that the Evening Star will publish
until the contest is brought to close
Everyone ought to be more or less
familiar with the English proverbs
that are used most frequently, and II
is only these that the artist who is
drawing the pictures has been in
structed to depict
Fairness to all the Evening Star $
readers who may enter the contest
is what the proverb editor Is seeking
TO have as the main feature of the
contest. Therefore. he has selected
only proverbs that are we'll known,
or should be. and has ruled out of
the contest all proverbs Of which the
average person has perhaps never
heard.
As an additional help to contest,
ants n book containing all the prov
cribs that will be used in the contest
has been prepared and is on sale at
the Star office for a nominal sum.
Merely coming the pages of this
proverb book will be an immense, aid
to all who enter the contest.
No One Should Fail to Enter.
Why any steady reader of the Eve
ming Star should fail to enter the
lists the proverb editor cannot un-
dertstand. A more pleasurable and
a more profitable amusement than
studying the proverb pictures could
not be found. How much better IL
will be, now that the cold weather IS
coming on, to spend your evenings in
the splendid mental exercise of puz-
zling over the proverbs than in play
ing your usual game of checkers or
euchre.
BY using your wits in the proverb
contest you give yourself an OPP
portunity of gaining something. The
contest runs only two months, and
you have q chance of winning a $500
cash prize. which is princely remun-
Grafton for few hours work each
day for sixty days.
Even If you,don't win the first prize
there are forty-nine others to draw
from.
SO start today. Get yesterdays
and today's Evening Star and a
proverb book and spend an hour or
SO tonight trying to solve the two
proverbs. You may hit on the cor
rect solution in few minutes, Take
the proverb EDITORS word for it that
this is more than possible. Remem-
Der the proverbs are all frequently
used, and only little careful
thought is necessary to get the cor
rect answers.
