We're nearing the close of the Proverb
Contest, and ii appropriate to urge haste
on the part Of those who plan to enter,
but who have not yet supplied themselves
with the back numbers of the Proverb
Pictures. the Answer Book or the Proverb
Guide Every day we get inquiries from
readers who have just become interested
in this great contest and who want to
know the cost Of these contest requisites
Others send in sums of money out of all
proportion to the prices we have repeat
eddy named for the books and pictures.
Action of this sort involves the contest
department in the added labor of sending
back the amount of overpayment This
is quite an annoyance, especially at this
time. when we are kept extremely busy
filing orders For the benefit therefore
of those contestants who want to use the
books that have proved such great aids

piling Of the solutions, preparatory to

to point out what folly it would be for a
newspaper with the standing of The Geor-

The contest was started as a means Of
arousing interest in the paper itself-to
attract people who were not readers and
to hold the attention and interest Of old
readers It is accomplishing this, and we
are satisfied We have no interest in the
question Of who will win the first prize or
the second or any other prize. We can
not lose sight Of the fact that the success
Of the paper itself depends upon the good 2
