When the public announcement appeared many persons began to form the words from these letters, some-- j times the whole family being occupied i evenings, a combination of amuse-- 1 inent and education. After a while the lists began to come in to the Postum Ofiiee and before long the volume grew until it required wagons to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were thoughtless enough to send their lists with insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-fivto fifty-eigh- t and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage. Your ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words, Websters Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully corrected except those which fell below 8000 for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each ndividual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately but the Company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally and they were compelled to fill every available space n the offices with these young lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 29, over six months after the prizes should have been awarded. This delay caused a great many inquiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report in practically all of the newspapers in the United States and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the STIFFNESS, STITCHES, LAMENESS, CRAMP, TWISTS AND TWITCHES, ALL DECAMP WHEN I YOU APPLY PRICE 25 AND 50 CENTS i.ir J e SHOES FOR MEN The highest degree of style, fit and workmanship are embodied in these splendid shoes.

Some lists contained over 50,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. The largest lists were checked over two and in some cases three times to insure accuracy. The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese, 1227-15tSt., Denver, Colo., with 9911 correct words. The highest $10.00 gold prize went to S. K. Fraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 9921 correct words.
