ARTISTS PROVE
BIT FORGETFUL
All, But One of Contestants
Fail to Give Uncle Wig
gily a Shoulder.

Uncle Wiggily was just wee bit
disappointed this week.
There was a trick in the picture
he gave you to color last week
There was something missing -
very, very important something.
In the picture, Uncle Wiggily had
part of one of his shoulders gone.
A pretty serious thing you'll ad-
nit. And pretty hard for tailor
to make clothes to fit.
Because, of course, when it comes
down to real-for-true, Uncle Wig
gily has two perfectly good shoul-
ders, just like anybody else.
And out of the hundreds of little
friends who colored the picture and
sent it in-including a gOodly num-
ber who have written to The Herald
saying they hope to become artists
when they grow up, how many do
you suppose noticed Uncle Wiggily' S
lack?
Just exactly one.
And it wasn't a girl, ETHEREAL
though many people will tell you
girls are whole heaps more observ-
ant than boys-but an 11-year-old
youngster named Edward Smith
who lives at 2s Seventh street north
east. he got nrSt prize.
The other prizes were awarded
largely in consideration of the orig
inality Uncle Wiggily's little friends
showed in giving his picture a
back ground. Lots and lots of them
just left the background blank.
Still more forgot to paint in any
shading.
The winners gave him some
pretty wall paper, shaded his news
paper and everything.
Some of the letters in Uncle Wig
gily's mail bag this week evidenced
bitter disappointment on the part
Of the writers, over not winning
anything. One even went so far as
to write: 'Tf I don't win anything
this time, I'll never send any more
in"
