Two Prize Winners This Week Sue,
ceeded at Their First Attempt
Other Contestants Keep on Trying

A FTER the steadily growing
~ number Of the contestants and
the ever widening territory
which their homo addresses cover,
perhaps the next most gratifying
proof that the Sock Songs contest is
fulfilling its purpose is the faithful
perseverance Of many sock singers
whom the Sock Songs editor and the
Jury Of award are coming to regard
as old friends.
The purpose of the contest. OF
course, Is to give patriotic knitting an
additional stimulation. Its first and
greatest stimulus is the need Of the
boys in service. But no work, not
even a patriotic work, Is ever done
otherwise with such a will as It is II
combined with a certain amount Of
fun. And then. you know, compete
ton is the proverbial life of trade.
We can't very we'll offer prizes for
the best knitted socks and sweaters.
But prizes of wool for sock songs
seem to be very fair equivalent.
Almost every one we know Of has
tried his or her hand at writing
poetry one time or another. and has
enjoyed the attempt. Any one who
hasn't is pretty sure to enjoy 1t when
he makes it. And we know our con-
testants have good times at their sock
singing; because some of whom we
have not yet felt able even to make
honorable mention have been sending
in entry after entry as regularly as
the weeks have come around.
Sock Singers PerseverinE.
II you happen to be among them
keep 1t up! That kind Of persever-
ance, with the practice II gives in
sock singing, and with a little addi-
tional painstaking over the verses
week to week. has been rewarded a
number of times with prizes; not for
itself alone. but for the improvement
of the entries, until finally one was
good enough to compel our recogni-
ton.
fOT lHStuHCc, OIle OF the CONTESTANTS
honorably mentioned to-day wrote in
as follows:
"The enclosed sock song was en-
tered for the contest Of two weeks
ago and failed. have made some
changes in II which 1 am sure are
improvements and which 1 hope may
give 1t chance OF success. II in
sending 1t in its amended form I am
guilty OF doing something Incorrect
and inadmissible. please accept my
apology. To have lost my weekly
chance will be my just and adequate
penalty"
As it happened. the jury Of award
well remembered the original version
of this sock song, and had regretted
that for the want of just q few more
loving touhces they found themselves
unable to recommend 1t for publica-
ton. To-day it's published--stilI not
