ers and Subscribers
in Prize Contest
CASHAW ARDSARE
MADE BY JUDGES
Letters Selected as Being Most Con-
vincing and Concise Were Written
by Mrs. Mary Yost, William L. Kay
and Mrs. Page

Close and careful reading of the ad-
vertisements which appeared on the
Star-lndependent' s Bargain and Educa-
tional page last Wednesday is apparent
IN the many letters received by the
Bargain Editor, selecting what the
writers thought to be the best bargains
on the page. Better reasons were Civ

judges are; First prize, So, Mrs. Mary
fost, 615 Dauphin street; second prize,
50, William l.. Kay, 1856 Market
street, and third prize, 81, Mrs. Page,

Many Commendable Letters
Many letters othen than these were
submitted which were commendable. In
picking the winners the judges select
ed the letters which gave the most con
vlnclng arguments in the most concise
form. Lengthy letters are not necessary
to be comprehensive. Contestants should
also bear in mind that the best letters
are those which strictly stick to the
point, telling just what is considered
the biggest bargain, and just why that
particular choice is made.
Increased interest in these weekly
contests is being taken by advertisers
and by subscribers. The firms whose
announcements appear on the bargain
page are well pleased with the atten-
tion the advertisements are receiving,
and readers of the paper are showing
great enthusiasm in selecting what thev
consider the best offers. Opportunity
is again afforded in to-day's issue of
the Star-lndependent for readers to Sc,
lect the biggest bargains on the bar
gain and educational page, and the
many liberal offers give room for plen
ty of sound reasons in their support,

Windmills are now recording some

disappearance of the picturesque wind

When the Skunk river vainly and gently did flow,
Like an overturned saucer of pap;
When the river branched out like a hickory tree,
Midst the stinkweeds and shrubs in the bog;
Then each branch of the river were fair for TO see,
But alas! they are now on the hog.
when the red man kept padding his own birch

With a skill and a vim rather grim,
When he hunted the skunk efter scalping his foe,
Like a hero and got in the swim,
When he laved in the river, and drank what he

When his thoughts were as clear and as fresh as
the dew,
That alas! now are all of the swine.
When the red man succumbed to the white traders
gall,
When his wigwam gave way to the house.,
When ne felt like old Adam right efter the fall.
As he put all the blame on his spouse.
Then the brave, bold, bad warrior had to skiddoo.
And for his sustenance otherwise dig,
Nor the Warhoop that rung as his foeman he slew,
Is, alas! being wrung from. the pig
