EERE Fourth Week of the $870 Contest LEASE remember there are ten prizes in this contest, ranging from five hundred dollars to ten dollars. If your answer is considered among the ten best, you will get a prize. In previous contests, all the way from about 6,000 to 60,000 answers have been received, according to the interest which the picture excited in the minds of our readers, Our experi- ence in former contests has been that there are several thousand answers all practically alike. In other words, ap- parently there is an obvious answer “As @ lotion after shaving Listerine is the best ever. ‘It makes my skin feel fme—te oat the itch and sting.” Whether you shave yourself or patronize the barber, be sure the shave is finished with genuine Crucible tool-steel blades are the only kind to successfully stand the severe work in a Power Mower. Every blade of the “PENNSYLVANIA” Quality Lawn Mowers (HAND, HORSE OR POWER) is made of the highest-grade of crucible tool steel, oil-hardened and water-tem- pered, and is positively self-sharpening. “Pennsylvania” Mowers stand up under the hardest use, without going to the shop for repairs or grinding, for years at a time. “PENNSYLVANIA” Quality Mowers have been the standard for over a-third-of-a-century.

It also almost invariably happens that this obvious answer is not so good as the rare answer which comes alone to the original mind. The picture on page 423, for which you are requested to write a title in less than twenty words, is apparently a sim- ple subject. Yet a careful study will reveal a wide range of possibilities. We have no suggestion to make, be- cause, as we before intimated, we are just as much at sea as anybody. We believe that there is one title to this picture which will be recognized as the title. What that title is it remains for our readers to discover. We said something last week about the method of awarding the prizes. This fs done by a process of elimina- tion. As fast as the answers are re- ceived and sorted out they are read and passed upon in a preliminary way by eliminating’ all of the answers that are obviously unfit or that do not con- form with the conditions, This is practically done behind sealed doors, in presence of two or more of the judges, but the point we wish to em- phasize this week is this: that just before the close of the contest there is always a rush of answers, several thousand being received in every mail. This makes the work of the judges at the last moment very laborious, and, inasmuch as they are painstaking and must give attention to each answer in which there is any merit possibility, it will readily be seen that the earlier you send in your answer the better it will be for all concerned. Do not delay. Send your answer early, no matter how far ahead of the date of closing this may be.
