THE COMPETITION

This week’s competition is a code message. You must first of all find the code, then the message will be quite easy. One way to find a code is to note the most frequently-used letters in the message; they always represent the most frequently-used letters in writing and speaking, and E is one of these. Send your answers to Big Brother Bill, care of ‘ Evening Star,’ Stuart street, Dunedin, C.l. Mark the envelope “ Competition.”

He began as a barefoot boy running errands in London streets, and ended as Minister of the Crown, a friend of His Majesty King George; but if he walked with kings he did not lose the common touch. He never ceased to bo a good friend and neighbour to thousands who lived in London’s East End, and there were few homes there who did not mourn his loss as if he had belonged to them. More than 80 years he lived, and they were years of rich living in every sense, for he gave more to the world than he took from it, and he leaves his mark on it in a thousand ways and places. Which, when you come to think of it, is better than dying a millionaire. The things good men leave are not to be found in banks; they are the memories of good deeds and wise thinking stored in the hearts of men. By this standard George Lansbury was born a pauper, but died a king among us all. And he lias left us an example that wc should follow in his steps. Yours affectionately, Big Brother Bill.
