and the words added by the judges

and Bruce Lamb. (Tie)

Special prize-split, Mrs. James
Schwinden, Carl Hedstrom. (Tie)
Josephine Robin, who resides
here, turned in subscriptions that
qualified her for the third class of
prizes and she gets $500. She had
180 words and a score of 163.
Carl Hedstrom of Camrud sent in
as much money on subscription as
anyone but had no new subscriptions
so was in the End class and gets SIS
(plus $3.50. He had 172 words
and 156 correct, leaving a score of
155.
Victor Cook of this city, was in
third class and wins $500. Victor
had ITO words and 153 were correct,
score Isl.
Elida Smith, also of this city, quail
flied for second class and wins $500.

rect, score $50, just inside the penalty
line
Mathilda Fachner of Volt and
Bruce Lamb of Denver, Colo, tied,
both being in class one. According
to rule No. II they each get one
dollar They each had 159 words
and each lac correct words
Kinner Peterson of Williston, and

words of which 140 were correct. Miss
johnson sent in 165 of which 145
were correct and 20 incorrect which

The Winning Characteristic
The prize winners were all very
careful about putting doubtful or
speculative words on their lists. Two
had penalties of one word each, one
of two words, and, as just mentioned
one had a penalty of five.
The special prize of $500, for the
largest amount turned in on sub
scription has to be split between Mrs.
Jas. Schwinden of this city and Carl
Hedstrom of Camrud, as each sent
the same amount.
Too many of the winners lacked
sufficient faith in their work to get
out and hustle the subscriptions that
would have put them in position to
win much better sums.
Herald Grateful
But altogether the B-Word puzzle
contest was quite satisfactory. 1t
brought in a good total of subscrip-
ton money as we'll as fair number
Of new subscribers. The Herald
wishes to thank most cordially every
body connected with the interesting
little venture for their helpful coop
Grafton and trusts that those who did
not land in the winners column will
not feel too much disappointed. Lists
we're received from seven outside
states.
Checks for the prizes and the COM
missions will be mailed out just as
soon as the weekly rush is over.
