Judges Have Hard Time
Selecting Successful One
in Big Contest.

After many hours of hard labor, the
| Judges in The Herald misspelled word
ad. contest. awarded the prizes of the
colonial silver tea set to Miss Eva
Skinner Saturday evening.
The Bargain Hunter has his trou-
blcs just the same as other individuals
only in u greater proportion at times,
so it seems. Last week he was un-
fortunate in using the expression.
"misspelled or incorrect words, "
! when he really meant only misspelied
words. The result was that many
persons handed in lists with lncorrec.
grammatical expressions in them and
many words which the sender thought
less proper than some other word.
In explanation let the Judges say
that they did not count either for or
against the contestants, grammatical
expressions which were criticised.
They considered simply the misspell-
ed words, neatness OF the coupons.
and completeness of the list.
However, If you placed some word
on the list that was spelled correctly
in the ad. and the word was a coy
rect word to use in the place, then
that word counted against you in the
finals.
The judges want to congratulate
Miss Ingeborg Thorgrimson and Jess
y. Rosoff especially on the excellent
work they did in the contest. How
ever. each Of these two had some
rect and properly used. They did.
however. find the entire 23 words
which the judges took into considera-
ton in the final award, and we are
only sorry that we have not more
prizes to award on this contest.
There will be many interesting con-
tests to follow and the prizes will be
worth an extra effort.
Herewith is tho list of words cor
rectlv spelled which were misspclled
in he ads. and which the judges ac-

We know that some OF you will dis
agree with us, but the judges have
taken into consideration the general
proposition that in writing an ad. any
person has the privilege Of emphasiz-
ing his copy with capitals or other
wise 10 get the effect he wishes to
produce and many other items enter
into the consideration of the questions
lilll arose pelofe the Judges. Ihey
have given good honest service and
the best list wins.
Miss Skinner is requested to call at
The Herald office for her order for
the prize.
