The Story Contest

The "Era" Story Contest

In the January 5 contest, the committee selected a story

entitled, The Retreat of the Dismal Night, by Elizabeth Can-

non Porter, of Salt Lake City, for the first place; and The Real

Thing, a story by Ethel K. Horsley, of Brigham City, for second

place.

There were eighteen stories submitted to the Era for the

February 5 contest. The first place was given to Mrs. Venice

F. Anderson of Dupont, Washington; her story is entitled Cor-

poral Ron of the 362nd. The second place was given to the

story entitled Forfeits, by Nephi Anderson, of Salt Lake City:

and to a story by Mrs. Elsie C. Carroll, of Provo, entitled The

Miracle. The latter two were of such equal merit, in the

opinion of the judges, that the second place was given to both.

Readers of the Era will find special pleasure in these five

stories which will appear in due time in the magazine.

Writers will please take notice that the next contest will

be held on the 5th of March. Stories for this contest should

reach the editor by that date.
