Who Wants Half-a-Crown
Who wan is a frown.' Why of course you do! Today Norihlandrvs have the most pleasant way ut‘ earning one. Fisewhere on this [u..; ..-mcar.. a
picture that looks something like a ‘.pider’s web.. . Eight I udder.'-: appeal 1 , each with five rungs.. In tin- top mug" of each is drawn sif me thing that suggests the first half of a < ompoiiml word—that is one fhat has two distinct parts. The second half of caNf word consists cf four letters: only. to make it easier we’ve supplied one letter in each word, inserting- it in the correct place. Thus “C” is printed in the third space in puzzle number one, so all Northlanders have to do is to insert HO —K. They then have the correct answer “BOAT-HOOK.”
The other seven puzzles are just as easily solved. Kupe and the Princess found No. 3 the hardest to guess—so Northlanders might be well advised to leave that till last.
Work out the puzzle, fill in the coupon, then clip it neatly and post in order ta reach Kiipc, c/o “Advocate” Office, Water Street, Whangarci. not later than a fortnight from today. There will be half-crowns for the lucky ones.. In the event of ties:, neatness may be taken into consideration as; the deciding factor.
