Results of ‘Cheerio' Competitions.

As announced in the October “Cheerio,” our competitions were a splendid success, and aroused a vast amount of interest among- men and women all over the Dominion.

ARTICLE COMPETITION. From “Cheeiio’s” point of view, three articles were considered to be of approximately equal merit. Therefore, three equal prizes of Six Guineas each have been awarded, in lieu of the io, 5, and 3 Guineas as originally announced. The prize-winners are as follow: Three First Prizes of Six Guineas Each: Mrs. M. Grcig, 2, Sylvan Avenue, Auckland. C. S. Pike, 1, Vivian Street, Wellington. C. A., Hawke’s Bay. (Note This gentleman is in the Government service, and therefore does not. wish his name to be published.) Fourth Prize, Two Guineas: G. H. Cossins, Wai-iti Road. Timaru. The Editor wishes to state that all the essays were carefully read, and those “above the average” were submitted to a committee of three, with whose co-operation the winners were decided upon. Of course, a large number of various factors'had to be taken into consideration, such as sincerity, originality, readability, and compactness of expression. Several well-written essays were “stood down” because they contained lengthy arguments similar to articles that have already appeared in “Cheerio.” Forty Consolation Prizes: So many excellent articles were received that we decided to award Forty Additional - Prizes—lo of One Guinea and 30 of Half-a-Guinea, the recipients being as follows: One Guinea Each: Charles Hanes, Gisborne.

THIS ISSUE OF “CHEERIO” consists chiefly of contributions from “Cheeno” readers, but we have also included a few interesting statements made by prominent New Zealanders concerning the subjects of Prohibition and Liberty. So many letters and contributions have been received from readers that it is impossible to acknowledge them individually. We have been supplied with many useful ideas and suggestive arguments, and to all our friends we heartily say “Thanks !” Prize-winners will have received cheques before now. A. final word to all readers: If you believe in Liberty —Vote Continuance! —THE EDITOR.
