PRIZES FORWARDED no THE
HUSTLER'S CORRESPONDENTS
FOR JANUARY SERVICE

January was great month for the
hustler correspondents. There were
nVe weeks, hence that meant five
prizes and since no correspondent
could receive, under the rules. more
than one prize, the contest was inter-
esting.
The result for last week were diff
cult to judge for the reason that II
was question of deciding the six best
letters In the paper. Bat Cave took
nrst place, Horse Shoe second, Boyls-
ton third, Hoopers Creek fourth. Lib
erty fifth, Dana sixth. Since thirty
points counts each week for Fegularf-
ty Boylston had to sacrifice because
the correspondent there had sent in
only two letters during the month.
Hoopers Creek and Liberty had won
prizes, also Bat Cave and Horse Shoe,
so this gave the prize to the one hold
ing sixth place since Dana had moth
ing to sacrifice, having had a letter
each week.
The correspondence has been Of
very high class. 1t is pleasing the
publishers and the readers. While the
correspondent at times is at loss no
doubt to arrive at the manner of judg..
ing, it is a matter difficult to explain
by letter, but the editor will be glad
to take any Of these matters up in per-
son with the belief that he can show
the correspondence the justice of the
decisions.
At the close of February the guar
terly prize of $5 will be awarded to-
the correspondent making the highest
mark during the previous three
mark during the three previous
January Prize Winners.

ing prize winners for January service.

days when knights were bold,
when life was more war-like, and
all men wore swords and daggerA
The dagger was worn in the
belt, hanging from the right hip,
and was used as weapon in close
fighting.
When knight or soldier met
his friends, he held up his bare
right hand to show there was no
dagger in 1t, that he loved and
trusted his friends, and needed no
weapon when he was with them.
So the raising of his bare right
hand showed FRIENDSHIP.
And there is yet a third old
world custom that comes down to
MS from the past, and which has
meaning in the present.
1t is drawn from the days when
the knight wore steel helmet,
which he raised when in the pres
ence of ladies, or his elders, or su-
periors, to show that he needed
