Contest Editor, Dear Sir: Can a per-
son enter the contest if they do not
buy the books? I have a friend that
would like to know. Mrs. H. 5. B.,
Fairfield. te
1t is not absolutely necessary to
purchase the books. Your question has
been answered before in this column
but for the benefit of those who per-
haps did not see the explanation
will repeat. The Ready Reference Book
is compilation Eof Maine towns, bod
les of water and State officials; it is
not complete work but contains a
limited number of names of the above
nature. From this booklet has been
selected the 80 names that are the
correct answers to the puzzle pictures
Why a contestant should have one is
because it saves an endless amount Of
searching for names of towns, lakes,
rivers and public men of Maine. This
booklet contains a LIMITED number
of names and the contestant knows
that if the name he has selected for
picture is not in this booklet, Il is
not the right answer. The Solution
Blank Book is designed along the same
lines: it saves the contestant from
buying extra pictures to make extra
answers. Another feature of the Solu-
ton Blank Book is the key to 90 of
the 80 pictures.

CHATS With CONTESTANTS

Yesterday in the Chat column there
appeared a letter from a contestant
who complained that there was tend
ency on the part of the editor to make
contestants use more answers to each
picture than appeared to be necessary.
The editor tried to make il clear to
this contestant but perhaps a little
more explanation will make it. still
clearer The thought that is ever
present in the mind of the editor is
the fact that to the greater portion of
the Journal contestants this is a new
game and this being SO. if there is any
information, experience or features of
similar contests that would help a
contestant in the Journal Pastime 1t
should be given publicity What has
been published along these lines is
actual statistics and features of SIM
liar contests and given to Journal
readers for what help it may be to
them.
The campaign of education and in
struction that has been waged rela-
tive to the different phases of the
contest is shown by the minimum
number of queries received, which
goes to show that the rules of the
contest are quite generally under
stood.
