IF YOU CAN'T COUNT 'EM, GUESS 'EM.
the contest is that bat few guesses are
identical. Among the hundreds of 1
guesses that hare been handed in, there
are but a few duplicates of the same
number. So if you have a count and
think that it is right do not hesitate" be
cause you fear some one else may have
gassed the same number, and remember
that if you count them right you get a
twenty dollar prize.
A great many people have asked if
the large black dots that sometimes ap
pear outside the border are' to be coun
ted. The dot editor says “no.” Those
are the tacks that fasten the plate to the
wooden base. Count all the dots within
the border, and you will be safe.
Do not hesitate to send in your guess
whenever you get it ready. Remember
that the race is not always to the swift.
If you have sharp eyes and patience,
keep the guesses coming until December
24th, and yon are apt to win a prize.
Do not ask to cliange your count after
you have once Itanded it in. The dot
editor does not wish to seem unaccom
modating, bnt in the interest of fair
p^py to all parties concerned the role
has been adopted that after a count lias
; been filed it cannot be changed. If you
change your mind ten minutes or ten
days after you file your guess you must
make another guess to hare it entered
in the contest.
