PRIZE ESSAYS.

The approaching completion of the
High School buildings will soon neces-
state the grading and arrangement of
the school property grounds. No one is
more interested in having this work
properly done than the pupils who are
to use them, and no landscape gardener
should attempt the task without con-
sulting them. In order to stimulate
suggestion on this point THE CITIZEN
offers the scholars of the Public School
two prizes of ST. 90 each for the best two
essays on "The Best Way to Arrange
the New School House Grounds" the
competition to close April 18th. The ar
ticles, which must not exceed four hum
dred words in length, are not to be
signed, but the name of the writer must
be written on a separate slip, and en-
closed in an envelope with the essay.
The contributions will be numbered and
submitted to competent judges who will
decide on their respective merits. The
winning essays with the names of the
authors will appear in the first number
of THE CITIZEN following the award.

"A bill has been introduced in the
House at Harrisburg, providing that
after June l., 1909, 2,240 pounds shall
constitute legal ton of coal, and making
it misdemeanor to sell less than that
weight to a ton, or in that proportion in
quantities less than a ton. This law, ii
passed, would have no effect on Homes
dale sales. Coal is never sold here at
retail by the ton, but by the pound. An
order for a ton is always filled at 1900
pounds, as the purchaser will find on
consulting his bill. The same rule ap.
plies to smaller quantities. So the $20C
fine and one year imprisonment provided
in the act for its violation would have nc
terrors for local dealers.
