Ears, 3rd. one dollar.
! Mr. Burleigh announced that Ia
Irep.ies had been received and he then
read the titles which had been chosen
by the committee as deserving honor
able mention. All We're clever and il
indicated a goodly amount of genius
oil the part of the contestants. Then
Mr.. Burleigh announced the winning
titles, and as they were read their au-
thors stepped forward and were
awarded the prizes.
1 The winner of the first prize was
Rotarian Ralph Herrick whose title
was 1.-THE -Four, Winds" This appear
ed to be humorous conception of the
outward attitude of the four gentle
men coupled with the Biblical allusion
| contained in the first verse of REVEAL
tions vii.
/ To appreciate the second winning b.
tie it should be noted that the men
in the upper pictures. Messrs. Mac
Nichol and Lang are bachelors are
blessed with an abundance of ambro-
sial locks, while the men in the two
lower pictures. Messrs Newbert and
Nelson are benedicts with large FAM
lilies, but do not have an abundance
Of ambrosial locks. Rotarian Harold
Allan was awarded the second prize,
his title being: Hairy heartbreakers
and Hairless Home-makers.'
For a proper appreciation, of the
third prize winning title, the picture
represented the four struggling riders
should be remembered. It will be re-
membered that the popular novel en-
titled 1.-THE Four Horsemen of Apo
calypso by Blasco Ibanez was based
upon the sixth chapter of Revelations
where allusion is made to the four
horses and riders. The winner of the
third prize cleverIy caught the con-
ception and made a play upon the IT,
tie of the novel by substituting the
| title THE Four Holsters of the Apo
| crapha." the. Apocrapha being the I'M
cannonical books of the Old Testament.
Fred r. Lord. secretary of Augusta
Rotary, was the winner of the third
prize.
Each of the winning titles was
cleverly conceived and the three win
ners were given warm applause. Mr..
Allan suggested that his prize be ac-
copied by the club as the beginning of,
q fund which the club might use for
special purposes, and the other two
winners also turned their prizes in to-
wards this fund Rotarian l.. A. Bur
! leigh, who was in charge of the con-
test. conducted it in a very able man.

rounds of applause. The contest made
a great hit with all and furnished a
most entertaining feature on the conf
lmittee's program.
