To the Puzzle Editor:
Dear Sir:
With greatest pleasure I ac
knowledge your letter bringing
the grand news of having won
first prize. Heading the list of
bo many contestants is alone
worth while for what little labor

zle, using a little extra effort to
make It appear nice, is a gift I'm
not able to thank you for, no
think words can express how easy
you hare made it for me to own
a car.
Being raised of farm parents I
am thankful to be gifted' with love
for the wide open fields, the cows
and chickens and I sure work hard
towards owning some day a farm
of my own. When that time
comes I will be only too glad to
tell your readers what the Paclflo
Homestead has done tor me
meanwhile I am a contented and
Interested reader and learner of
Its scientific teaching In the agri
cultural field.
Not being-acquainted with any
one on your paper In any way at
all connected, I am as much to
say, a stranger and having won
first prize sure well proves the
honesty and sincerity -of your
personnel, as well as the fairness
and squareness of your Ingenious
paper.
Thanking you and the commit
tee of final judges for your de
cision. I remain as ever,

In doubt up to the last day. I
wish to thank The Oregon States

square way In which they con
ducted the contest. I was always
given to understand that while I
was entitled to all the privileges

contest. To opponents, this ap
preciatory letter shall serve as an
evidence of your upright and fair

work was a pleasure, as well: as
a pastime, and I hope to! solicit

From the very first I resolved
to use the prize money should I
be so fortunate as to win, for pur

laundry could be minimized.
In conclusion, I thank you most
sincerely for your courtesy and

Winner, of Dodge Sedan n the
Htatrerhaa's Automobile Contest
The feat of this young lady In
carrying' off the first prize auto
mobile, the new Dodge Sedan, in
the greatest subscription contest
ever staged in the Willamette val
ley, is a story of what a young
lady can do when she makes up
her mind to overcome the ob
stables that beset her path. She
is a go-getter, and "hustle along
and get subscriptions all the time"
was the motto that proved success
ful. During the life of the contest
the contest editor received fre
quent information of Miss Lytle's
methods of hustling around and
getting subscriptions and the de
termined way in which she over
came obstacles that presented
themselves on every hand.
