New York Advertising Contest.—We are getting many inquiries asking for particulars about our proposed postal card scheme having for its object the booming of honey as an article of food. Some want to know what ideas we want incorporated in the sketches, others what size these sketches should be, others again whether in colors or in black, whether photographs of api- aries are acceptable, etc. To all the inquiries we can only say, you must work this out yourself. We are more after the ideas than the artistic execu- tion of them. One very good thing has been suggested to us. It is a label to nearly or entirely cover the top of a honey section as it stands in the ship- ping case, with following reading: ©O0®©0©(iXIX3®®©©©©©®0®0©®®®© This section of Honey (u oz.) equals in food value 24 oz. of beefsteak 3oc or 30 oz. of codfish 4oc or 20 eges 5oc or oz. cream ctieese i6c or 2 Quarts milk i6c ©<S®®®6X3©Oe)0OOGQOG Comparative figures were taken from the American Bee Journal December, 1915. One of our committee says : " This is the best thing brought to our notice, although not e-xactly in line with the postal-card scheme. We may recom- mend it also used in connection with photo of articles named, all put upon a postal ; We hope to hear from others. H. L. Case, F. Greiner, W.
