the advertisements submitted in the
big News ad writing contest, which
closed about two weeks ago, the News
yesterday selected the prize inning
advertisement which was very diff
ficult task because of the fact that
all OF the contestants were clever in
their work and displayed unusual
ability in the interesting contest
However, the handsome Sonora
now on exhibit at the store of Fl.
M. Miller Furniture company sim
ply was pining to find place in some
home and yesterday the entire adver-
tising force of the News got together
and passed upon all of the advertise
ments in the prize winning class.
Careful thought was given to each
and every one of them and the whole
bunch agreed on the capital prize,
which wins the Sonora and which was
awarded to Mrs Pauline C. Willy
of 800 Richmond street. The adver-
tisement winning the grand prize, the
beautiful Sonora was among the first
written in the contest by Mrs. Wylly
and was devoted to the famous "Hud
son Super-Six" automobile. 1t was an
acrostic, in which the name "Hud-

all absorbing, all attractive thing de-
sired and Mrs. Wylly brought tu her
work rare taste and splendid ap
preciation of the worth of brevity
The ]. w. S. Heath Motor Company,
exclusive agents of the Hudson in
this territory was advised yesterday
that this advertisement had won the
Sonora and they at once contracted
for its appearance in the News for sew
eral days. The advertisement appears
in the advertising columns in today's
issue. If Mrs. Wylly will call at the
News office this morning she will be
presented with the Sonoro.
In awarding the prizes, the man.
agement also selected second and

president of Local Plant of Mu-
tuai Light and Water Co.,
Resigns. Aug, /.
RESIGNATION WAS SENT
NORTH MONTHS Ago
Representative Sent out From,
New York to Make Survey OF
Local Situation Looking to
Appointment of Successor to
Retired Executive Head.

Mr.. Albert Fendig has resigned as
president of the Mutual Light and
Water comapny, his retirement hav-
ing become effective on August /.
Although it was known arlong
Mr.. Fendig's business associates that
ne had resigned this past several
months ago, to take effect on the
first of the present month, it was not
given publicity until the date the res.
1gnation went into effect.
For several months Mr.. Fendig has
been contemplating taking this step
on account of the pressure of his
private business interests to which
he expects to devote all of his timef
When Mr.. Fendig notified the New
York office of his intention of with
drawing as executive head of tn. local
company strong pressure was brought
to bear upon him to reconsider, but
he declined to further entertain re-
quests that he withdraw his r2sig-
nation and continue in that position
Accordingly Mr.. Fendig withdrew as
president of the company on the date
designated in his resignation.
A representative of the New York
office was sent to Brunswick to make
a careful survey of the local situa-
tion and has been here for several
days. However, he made no statement
as to the status of affairs and had
nothing to give out for publication.
The presumption is he will report
his finding to the head office and that
within a short time successor to
Mr.. Fendig will be appointed.
Mr.. Fendig has given out no state
ment relative to severing his connec-
tion as executive heac of the local
light and water company other than
that stated In his official capacity
Mr. Fendig, had no jurisdiction over
the affairs of the City and Subur ban
Street Railway Company, which is
owned by the same interests that own
the light and water company.

He stated the National Department
