GOLD MEDAL FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN

Prof. J. +. Abel, deputy state super
intendent of public instruction, is in
receipt of the following communica-
tion from the Office of public roads
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c.:
A gold medal to the school boy OF
girl between the ages of 10 and Is
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
director, Office of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, ID. C. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can be graded. The COM
position may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other sources
but no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, it is Mr.. Pages be-
lief that ignorance on the subject of
repair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condition
as any other factor. 1t is expected
that the competition will bring about
better understanding of the subject
of repair and maintenance in the
rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate
greater interest among the parents
Bad roads have prevented many child
rem from obtaining proper education
and have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending a country school
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age
and address of the writer, and the
name and location of the school which
he or she is attending must be plainly
written at the top of the first page.
The announcement of the competition
has been sent to the superintendent
of schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtained
from the office of public roads. This
announcement should be plain to ev-
eryone, and all children will thus
start on a basis of equality.

FIRST LARGE WOOL SALE

This week John G.. Taylor sold his
clip of 100000 pounds of wool to Wal
ter c. Donald, representing Eisemann
Bros, of Boston. This is the first
of Humboldt eounty's large clips to

OLD ADAM STRONG IN HIM
Sad Time for Mother When She Real
lied Her Pet Had Passed Beyond
the Angelic Period.

Mothers darling, age four, was not
to be like other boys and learn to use
naughty and slangy words. He was
not allowed to play with the older
boys in the neighborhood for fear his
sensitive nature might be shocked at
the language they used One day,
while mother was busy, he slipped
over into the next street and played
for half an hour with a crowd of older
boys. In that half hour he took a
complete course in modern language.
On his return mother said:
Where has my precious been?"
you should worry and get a
wrinkle he cheerfully replied.
Dearest, tell mother where you
learned such horrible language!"
mother exclaimed.
Jaw, good night, shirt came sweet
ly from the Cupid bow mouth.

DAHGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
Worn-out Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
are greatly to be feared at this time
Of the year.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-

tion without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
