MANY BOOKLOYERS
HAVE ALL ANSWERS
Many Doubt, However, if Their So
lutiOns Are Correct-COntsst
Now Survival of Fittest."

The BookIovers' Contest has now
reached the point where it is strictly a
case OF THE survival of the httest."
Not all Of those who started out at the
beginning of the race have stayed with
it until the present point in the contest.
while others. even under the handicap
OF late start, are coming in by scores
every day.
How many OF those in the contest at
present have a clean slate? 1t is I'M
possible to take anything like a poll, yet
from the ripples OF gossip and query
which reach The Washington Herald
ONCE from time to time 1t is possible 10
estimate that comparatively few have
all the correct answers up TO the present
time.
II have answers TO all the puzzles. -
writes one contestant, but I am not
sure that more than three-fourths Of
them are correct. In fact, ] am pretty
sure that they are not correct. I find
that the same puzzles which cause me so
much trouble have also proved dificult
for my friends. which goes to show that
they must be exceptionally involved and
intricate.
Il think that l25 per cent OF the puzzles
throughout the contest will probably
prove AIOIt Lndu Nnc
others. This Is fair percentage, and II
viii serve to weed out some OF the weak
brethren 1 am determined to get the
right answers for those OF which 1 am
not sure, and am sparing no pains TO
do So
Other letters 10 the same effect are
being received by The Washington
Herald. In fact. the volume OF mail re-
lating to the Booklovers' Contest Is 50
large that clerks have been assigned 20
handle il, independent OF other commu-
nications. Queries regarding the contest
are not SO frequent as they were during
the first two weeks of the competition.
The following are the prizes:
The first prize will be 81, 900 building
lot in that charming suburb across the
Anacostia River, Randle Highlands. 1t
Is a good investment value from any
point OF view, and will be eagerly sought
after by many hundreds in the contest
kingsbury inner-player piano, man
ufactured by the Cable Piano Company
and valued at $50, is the second prize.
Percy S. Foster, of the Percy S. Foster
Company, 1890 G. Street Northwest, Sc
lected it for The Washington Herald.
The third prize is a 500 collection OF
books, selected by W. W. Norman, man
ager OF Brentano's, at Twelfth and F
Streets Northwest. The library repre-
sents a wide variety and is certain to
meet all tastes.
Eighty cash prizes, in the form of
credits at the Citizens Savings Bank,
will be given as consolation prizes"
the value aggregating $50.

FARMERS ARE BUSY
Warm Weather Ushers In tho
Work Of Seeding.

Pierre, s. D. April 1O.-Farm-
ing operations opened up gener-
ally over the central part Of the
state with the coming of warm
weather. The work Of seeding is
being rushed all along the lines
Of railway between this city and
Huron, and here and Redfield,
with indications for large acre
age than was put in last year, as
that part Of the state showed a
lot Of new breaking last year.
West Of the Missouri the work is
also being rushed, much of it by
settlers who have returned to
their farms after having gone
for the winter on account OF the
drouth Of last year. In the coun-
try north of Hayes the settlers
clubbed together and purchased
seed grain to the amount Of ST.
800, paying cash for it, and are
putting in all the plowed land
they have, and report the ground
in excellent condition for start
ing the new crop. Practically the
same conditions exist all along the
North Western line from here to
Rapid City. The Stanley county
commissioners took twenty-six
cars OF seed grain under the state
seed grain law, and this
has been distributed general
ly over that county, and is being
put into the ground as rapidly as
possible. The winter wheat con.
aitions west Of the river, where
q large acreage was put IN las,
fall, is reported to be most en-.
couraging, with the conditions Of
that crop to be as good as coulc
be asked in any section Of the
country. Success in that line thi
year will mean q large acreage
tor next year, and less sprind
wheat SoWn.
