MANY CONTESTANTS ENTER
MISSING WORD CONTEST
MUCH INTEREST BEING SHOWN
IN FINDING MISSING WORDS IN
LOCAL MERCHANTS ADS —11
MORE WEEK8. JOIN THIt WEEK.
Today for the second time, the Educational Missing Word Contest ap-
pears on pages five and six. To say
the least, the proposition Is a success
from any standpoint. Answers have
been malted and brought into the
News-Times office from many homes
In Amherst and from neighboring
towns, which contribute to the success of Amherst's business Interests.
.Never In the history of this town
has there been so many people reading and studying merchants advertisements. We have received answers
from people in nearly every walk of
life, especially from housewives, who
do the bulk of the family buying.
We have surely many splendid grammarians among our readers( for all
but two of the contestants found last
week's missing words, In one of the
advertisements on each page. A careful record Is taken of every answer,
whether right or wrong.
It was our 'intention to state each
succeeding week, what the previous
week's missing words were, but we
have decided to withhold this Information, until the close ot the contest,
when all ot the correct words will be
published, and from whose advertisements they were omitted.
The two omitted words last week
were comparatively easy, so as to get
all started right, but from now on we
shall, as many have requested, make
them much more difficult.
Be sure to go to the rules each week,
before starting to look for the new
words, where the "cue" Is found, how
to locate them. We want to caution
you not to fill out the return answer
blank until every member of the family has found one and the same word.
Be sure to read every advertisement,
aa it will be easy to make a mistake
and do not forget the words will be
(eft out of the same advertisements
more than once.
It Is not to late for any new contestants to enter the race for the cash
awards. Again we caution you not
to use a typewriter on the answer
blank. Write with pen and Ink or
lead pencil tor penmanship, neatness
and proper punctuation will figure
in the Judges decision.
We received a number of compliments on this splendid feature, the
author of which Is J. Frederick Jones
of Pittsburgh^ Pa., who placed the
proposition   with   the   News-Times.    |
Last week a large number of sample copies were sent to those who are
non-subsrlbers. This week we are
doing the aame thing, but next week
will be the last. Quite a tew have
done, as we requested, and we ask
you to do likewise, fill ont the subscription blank on the first page and
mall it to thla office and get your home
paper for a year. This will enable
you to continue in the missing word
contest, and to win one of the cash
awards.
Do not forget to get your answers
In on time.   Bee the rules.
