piled by three distinguished judges,
tells the story of the conclusion of
The Tri-Weekly Journals second
successful puzzle picture contest.
After the judges and corps Of
expert auditors had finished check
ing the hundreds of lists of words
submitted in the contest by readers
all over the country, the fifteen con-
testants whose names are listed
above were shown to have won the
fifteen prizes in the order named.
The three judges Of the contest
were James L. Key, mayor Of Allan
| ia; Willis M. Sutton, superintend-
ent of schools, Atlanta, and Joel
Hunter, head Of Joel Hunter and
company, certified public account
ants, Atlanta.
AS was the case in the first puz-
zle picture published by the paper,
the race was a close one between
many readers who used a maximum
of pains, judgment and skill in COM
piling their solutions. 1t required
the most exacting and painstaking
work by the judges to arrive at the
correct results.
AS an indication of the popularity
of the two contests, it is interesting
to note that three former prize-win-
ners are among the present FORUM
ate contestants. In the A-B-C puz-
zle Mrs. A. r. Smith, of Triton, Ga,
won fourth prize, $50; Donald Adair,
of Thomasville, won seventh prize.
SIS, and H. E. Fuller, Loxley, Ca,
won ninth prize, $40. In the pres
ent affair, Mrs. Smith won twelfth
prize, $40; Donald Adair won tenth
prize, $40, and H. E. Fuller won
third prize, $40,
The fact that these former prize
! winners, as we'll as scores Of others
who took Tart in the first contest.
were interested, instructed and en-
tertained sufficiently to participate
in the second contest, is fine IL
lustra-ion of the educational value
Of the picture competition.
The case of H. E. Fuller, third
| Prize winner, has an interesting sidc-
| hight. M. Fuller is apparently a
youngster, for after winning ninth
prize of $40 in the first contest, his
mother sent in a list in his name
for the second contest, \stating tina:
the boy had become discouraged and
given up the job. She finished the
work for hum, submitted it without
nj" knowledge, and asked that moth
ing be said to him about it. When
young Mr.. Fuller reads this issue
Of The Tri-W eekly Journal, he will
learn for the first time that he not
only was represented in the contest,
! but won a prize larger than before.
1t will be noted that the first two
prize-winners won the maximu1n
amounts because Of the fact that
their lists were fuzzy qualified with
subscriptions. The Tri-Weekly Jour-
nal congratulates itself and the win.
ners at this outcome, as it is only

rewarded by the best prizes. Sew
eral other winners, it will be noted
also, did not win the maximum
awards, because of failure TO fully
qualify their lists with subscriptions.
AS was explained in the rules Of
the contest, the largest number of
correct words submitted determined
the merit of the lists. All Incorrect
words used counted against the
contestant. The prize-winning lists
were those that showed the highest
percentage of correct words.
