Pattee, Butler, Missouri; Paul Overstreet, Springdale, Arkansas; Mrs. Merle Scott, Seymour, Iowa; Mrs. John Turnbull, Maple Hill, Kansas; Mrs. Edward F. Stege-maHope, Kansas; Mrs. O. Fei. gum, Sweet Home, Oregon. Out of fifteen prize winners, eleven were women. The quality of the 1581 clippings submitted was so high, says Mr. McMillen, that at the first reading we retained more than a third for further reading and judgment. In scope as well as interest the submitted matrial far exceeded expectations, particularof the ly as the announcement proposed contest was made very Next modestly in our columns. year, and for many years to come, we hope, the country correspondents awards will be continued, en. larged and expanded. The prize offers will be multiplied several times. Special emphasis will be placed on farm news reporting. No Straining For Effect The faithful work done by the dross-roacorrespondents has been a most important phase of American journalism. Re garding the news clipping which won the prize for Mrs. Mahnkey, we count it the best of all submitted because it is simply and beautifully written, without any straining for effect; it is friendly and objective; it doesnt slobber over as do so may reporters who attempt interpretative reporting. Mrs. Mahnkey introduces her own comments here and there, but always sparingly and with balance. What ,we called for in the terms of the contest was: The w'ork of born writers and understanding reporters who know news without having to be told from a desk, and who are possessed of a sense of values which detects the great in the small. are "Country correspondents grand people, by and large. They have something to tell this frantic, hastening day and age. "The country correspondent is the forgotten mafi of American , letters.
