Interest in The True Northerner's
Missing Word Contest continues to
increase, and this week brought many
new contestants into the race. 1t
was a good half days job to look over
the replies and award the prizes for
the week. There were four who
gave the six missing words correctly
this week The correct answers were
received in the following order, and
prizes awarded accordingly Miss
Lola Bates, First Prize; Robert Cav
anaugh, second prize; Clara B. Wood
man and Clare f. Hutchirs. Quite
a number found five of the words.
One of these made notation at the
bottom of her reply, that she was
satisfied that the contest editor had
made an error, and that there were
only five missing words on the page.

word she failed to find, was "Meat''
which was the answer to the question
propounded at the top of the Model
Meat Market "ad". There is an en-
tire new list of Missing words on the
page this week (Six in all). Get the
replies in early. In case of tie, the
prizes are awarded in order of re-
