CHILDREN'S GOLDEN COMPETITION
_ . v Twenty sovereigns! Twenty' sovereigns may prove your golden read to success. Twenty sorc-reigns. will be a splendid nest-egg for some industrious kiddie. Twenty sovereigns would start a handsome bank account for a little boy or' girl. Twenty sovereigns, properly invested, will grow, grow, grow, provided they have the proper amount of grit and wit under them. Twenty sovereigns will not fall to your lot without a little effort and study on your pnrt. Something for nothing is not possible. • Arthur Heighton is still busy. Another Arthur, suvnaiued Williamson, city, promises to becomo a most formidable competitor. Hawke's Bay is receiving the industrious attention of Master Martin Ahlers, and he is a. chap who believes in ; a sound investment and a fair interest. For sound logic, and nothing vague, the New Zealand kiddie takes the bun.

"What! and why?" exclaimed the startled father. "Well, I sice you buy hair restorer by the. quart, while mamma, she buys the hair." .This little girl should get into this competition at once. Judging froin the efforts of Robert Livingston, Hawke's Bay, all the wise men did not come out of the East. There are others, and Robert appears to be one of them. Doria Halcroid, of .Himatangi, believes in charity, but properly goes oh the assumption that it should always begin at home. Just keep busy, Doris, and. yon may yet awake some morning and find yourself famous. ' Emily Dudley, of Ahaura, is £< firm believer in the potency of sovereigns, but she also considers a thing worth having is worth working for. Her answers are always to the point and her points'.are keen ones. In one month the Children's ' Golden Competition will come to a close and the answers placed with the judges, who will announce the winners on the morning of July 7th. INo answers will be accepted after June 30th. With but fou.ll weeks in which to work you should get busy and keep busy. Albert Wilford Mar'tey, ' "Outlook," Coromandel street, city, writes an excellent verse, containing good points as well as puissant poetry. ''Write some more. Albeit.
