E7HE boys of The Globes prize
story department finish second
this week in the race, two girls
and one boy landing the awards.
This week no prizes are awarded for
the different verse contributions, for
the editor has discovered that at least
one of the little writer's did not under
stand the rules of the prize story con-
test.
One little miss evidently believed
that all necessary was to copy some
poem and send the same to the editor
of the amateur department. This is a
generous view of the case in question,
although the little girl provided her
contribution with new caption and
picked but portions of verses from the
original poem first printed in an East
ern paper.
Several of the poems sent in this
week are really worthy of prizes, but
as 1t is impossible for the editor to dis
cover which are original efforts and
which are copies of printed poems, 1t
has been deemed better to postpone
all poem prize awards until the children
learn thoroughly that only their orig
inal efforts are desired. The prize
story contest Is designed to encourage
and educate the children and Is not a
mere penmanship contest.
The little ones must be honest with
the editor, and in the future 1t is hoped
that no one will mistake the rules.
The prize winners this week are:
SADIE SINGER, 544 sibIey street, age
II years.
DILLON o'BRlEN, 6s5 Lincoln avenue,
age 13 years.
LOUISE FABEI, 81 WilI<in street, age

A Christmas Wish

AS Dolly walked down the street, she
heard q low sobbing, and turning to see
where it came from she saw girl sitting
on the sidewalk crying.
She bent over the girl and asked her
why she was crying. She learned that
the girl was poor, what her name was.
and where she lived and that she wanted
something for Christmas.
When Dolly reached home she found her
father waiting for her. He asked her
what she wished for Christmas, and she
told him about the little girl.
On Christmas day, Dolly and her father,
with great many bundles, went to the
little girls home. The tears in the moth
elss and fathers eyes thanked them
enough.
If you happened to look through the
window, every Christmas day, you could
see the rich man and his daughter go to
the poor mans house with many bundles

OPINION ON SCHOOL MATTERS

Solicitor General Prichard has CIV
en- opinions as to the law in the fol-
lowing questions submitted by the
county school superintendent OF Lin
coin county.
First. Should a county treasurer
report to the county superintendent OF
schools the moneys raised, by special
leyies and paid out for interest on
school houses bonds?
"Second. Should warrants drawn
by school directors to pay interest on
school house bonds, be presented tc
the county superintendent of schools
for approval before they are present
ed to the county treasurer for pay
ment?"
Answering the first question, Gen
eral Prichard says there is no law
requiring the superintendent to re
port to the treasurer amounts O
money paid out by him as interest or
school house bonds. However, thu
superintendent is required to motif!
the treasurer Of all funds in his hands
available for school purposes.
AS to the second question, the sol
icitor general says there is no law re
curing school directors to presen
such warrants as are specified to tn
county school superintendent for ap

superintendent to investigate tn
