GEORGE B. HICKIE
 IS POLITICAL HERO
Walnut St. Man Cops Herald
 Poetry Prize

Five answers to the Want Ad contest now being conducted by the Herald came in on the blank sheet so generously supplied by the genial old judge. The purpose was main- ly to get everybody reading about the contest. and to all intents and purposes the diabolical scheme worked inasmuch As the average person who saw a blank space said to themselves, ah! ha! q mistake, and read the article with a what tha" frame of mind. That's a secret Of the trade, so conceived to popu- larize this contest.
 Some poems are literally doused in cologne, which Is not tolerated. Probably some folks misconstrued that discourse from the bench about atmosphere. Stamps put upside down on the envelope, from a hirtatious angle isn't tolerated, and besides, Mir, Erwin's boys at the post office have hard enough time as 1t is without making their task more difficult.
 From the answers coming in, one would judge that everybody reads about the contest even If some of the poets do jump lightly over the rules. Literary rivalry Is the keynote of the contest, and jolIyness is the major premise Close students ef the contest unite in declaring that many helpful hints are given, hidden a bit, yes, in the rawlings of the judge. AL ready that veritable nest of poets down Kensington way ie competing as are literary composers over Plain vile and Bristol direction. Today's winner needs no comment George E. Tickle, of 53 Walnut street city, is really and truly a poet, and the judge bows before the gent who is more than twice his equal.
 Here's the poetry: Listen, ye knights of the carpet Harkcn ye listless throng; Did it ever occur to your various minds,
 As idly ye saunter along; | Of the many invisible dangers, That round you hourly hover, Or do you smugly traipse along, Thinking yourself in clover. There's snow and ice that isn't nice. The latter may cause your fall, , Then flying skates and chimney pots,
 Bricks too---that isn't all; , Sidewalks csve in and buildings
 crash,
 The auto cars go skidding,
 Crossing the streets like courting death,
 Ge insured, folks--no kidding.
 Don't take a chance---for you
 loved ones sake; You owe 1t to them you see; Insure at once, I'll tell you where, Louis s. Jones Agency: Automobile, accident and life as l well.
