The adjoin- ing counties can hire them for road work at 75 cents per day for each convict.

The counties do not have to use their convicts on the road unless they choose, but can send them to the penitentiary as they are now doing.

more schools and colleges, so the girls
and boys will have good chance to
have an education. l would establish
fine, wide highways and boulevards, so
the roads wouldn't be so muddy in
the rainy season. I would build fine
bridges over the Los Angeles river. I
think 1t would add a great deal to the
beauty of the city. would have play
grounds built for the children to play
in. Besides Fairgrounds 1 would have
more public parks. would build more

RESOLUTIONS ARE BENEFICIAL
Some Suggestions Which Are Sure to
Be Helpful
First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie;
AM going to make New Years
resolutions for you. You do not
need any, but | don't know for
whom else to make them.
Resolution number one: TO visit all
the II. J. clubs once a month. / am
sure they will all be glad to have you.
Resolution number two: To try to
give interesting topics in all contests.
You don't need this one at all, as you
always give nice topics.
Resolution number three: To get
the pennants for The Herald Junior
made as soon as possible.
Resolution number four: To take
vacation once year, and when you
come back tell all the Herald Juniors
about il. | hope you will adopt this
resolution, because we should like a
letter from you. and you need a rest
sometimes like everybody else.
Resolution number five: To make
The Herald Junior larger and to give
the artists more space.
/ think | have given you all the res
olutions you will need for the coming
year. l have also given you some you
do not need. Affectionately yours.

possible.

(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
r WILL write and tell you of some
new resolutions l would make IL
II L were Mayor Alexander.
l would resolve to try to make Los
Angeles the most beautiful and attrac-
tive city in the United States.
l would resolve to put the money for
the harbor and owens river aqueduct
to the best possible use.
To try to annex the nearby towns ana
cities to Los Angeles would be another
resolution. BY doing this l think the
taxes would be less because there would
be more people to pay them. L would
resolve to veto all bills that would not
benefit the city, and would give every
one square deal.
would resolve to do all l could to
promote the state division sentiment
because I think that the north has
treated the south very unjustly by lay
ing such a heavy tax on the people or
the southern counties.

SOME RESOLUTIONS
FOR RUSslA's RULER
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
F / were Car Nicholas III | would
try to turn over a new leaf when
u little 1910 comes to earth. If a man
had certain religion, belief, or in fact
. any wav to worship God l would try
and be just with him.
l would not torment him in some
dreadful way or Danish him to dark
and dreary Siberia.
To be intimate and friendly with my
people would be very important, for II
would make a better country and more
progressive. l think IL the czar would
let congress or parliament decide
on the laws they would be less severe
and not so hard to obey
In the way of peace with the great
powers or the United States l would
try to be neighborly. This would make
trade and commerce more extensive.
ana Russia would be a better and more
civilized country.
To be barbarious in most ways makes
a country slow and uncomfortable.
think If the czar would amend his ways
Russia would be more favored by the
other nations. ESTELLE REICH.
